Fragile ThreadDon't push me to the brink
Where life's spark starts to fade,
Lest I lose the will to live,
And hope's light is betrayed.

The Crown of CrueltyIn a realm where kindness has vanished,
Where no light dares to appear,
The echoes of darkness reign,
Majestic and cruel in their sphere.
Sharp tongue, slice like a knife in depth
as you speak.
A flashy eye glare soothes your skin
as you walk past.
Words are full of deception, discrimination,
hatred of your color, identity as you-a settler

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAYTO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY
Because you are in it,
This is a blessed day
To enjoy and be glad in:-
While some have been called in,
You have been given another day
To be an instrument of His Peace
And a daily reflector of His Love:-
Despite the painful challenges,
This day will confront you with,
Healing grace and divine wisdom
Shall guide...

WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISEWITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE
Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges,
Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones,
So must we be as we continue to struggle
Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:-
As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition,
Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho:
Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude...

Dewfresh Morn
Pain holds its insistence
pressed against me
I dream of a misty
selfless new morn
soft as maternal skin
easing me free
with a true smile to greet
a sweet day born!...

ImaginationWhen, in darkness, there's but a single ray;
When, in cruelty, there's little kindness found;
Then in imagination could I stay;
A private realm, and in perfection crowned;
And I thought of dreams, in that certain way.
When, in darkness, there shines a brilliant ray;
When, in cruelty, there is a kindness found;
Not in imagination would I stay;
Let private thought with...

I'll be strong song versionI'll be strong

You're getting tired of losing...
there's not enough joy and peace to be found
Sometimes it's better choosing...
to set your goals high, never looking down
(refrain)
Let's be strong together!
Make changes together!
Let's be strong together!
Have the courage to say:
Chorus
I'll be strong...
I'll forget all the pain,
I'll be strong...
I'll learn from my mistakes,
I'll be strong...
I'll be who I...

The Road She WalkedShe kept walking—until emotions burst.
Weeping, she cried out in a public space,
Where no one cared enough to stop or see
The woman breaking at the corner of the road.
In her sobs, a memory returned:
A voice, a message—
New beginnings,
And a man who stood like a torch of light
In the dim glow of night.
But greed mocked her,
And laughter...

MaybeThe whisper of a promise
The hope of a new dawn
The sun rises with curiosity
Of what might come along
Of who might change the world
An elderly black woman sits
Basking in the sunlight to reminisce
Of a life far from bliss
Where pain was embedded in her blood
And childhood was an unfamiliar experience...

The man who has no imagination has no wings.
— Muhammad Ali
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Imagination lends me its safe wings,
So I can soar toward futures I choose,
To fill my life with hopes and precious things;
Though striking gold is never a mere cruise,
Neither are lily-livered crowned as kings.

Labels and LightThey seek a label, something to define,
Then twists the truth and paints it all in shame.
It drags the soul beneath its harsh, cold flame,
And whispers lies to mar a spotless shine.
No kindness dwells where judgment takes its hold,
Where friends alone may pass without a scar.
Yet in this night, a quiet strength is bold—
A guarded peace...

Beauty of imaginationsThere’s beauty in imagining great things;
It lights our dark future with hope-filled dreams ~
Visions of peasants ordained to be kings,
And plebeians crowned as queens, so it seems.
It charts dream paths lit by elegant beams.
Imagination hears each scarecrow's groans;
It squeezes water from dry desert stones.
It digs deep oceans in hot desert sand,
Lifting us from known realms...
