I have yet to meet you, but I have always held the belief that you are a remarkable and beautiful individual. My desire is to create lasting memories with you, to compose chapters filled with love, enchanting experiences, family outings, and an overall union that would make God proud. Although I am unaware of your appearance, your physical form, or the depths of your mind and soul, I am certain that when you arrive, I will cherish you in the manner you deserve. I aspire to cultivate a relationship characterized by comfort, empathy, and unwavering support, ensuring that I remain by your side through all circumstances. My vision includes a loving home, a sanctuary of peace that our family can take pride in, one that may even astonish the outside world. I yearn to celebrate your achievements and shower you with praise, as you represent an experience I have longed for but have yet to encounter. I wish to share laughter with you, navigate the highs and lows of life together, and confront any challenges that arise, for you are truly worth it. You will be included in my prayers each morning and evening, as I express gratitude to God for your presence in my life and for the incredible woman and mother you are. I envision our love as tranquil as a flowing river and as serene as mountain air. Thus, I will patiently await your arrival, for you are deserving of every ounce of love that resides in my heart, which I have yet to share with anyone. The moment I see your face and feel your energy, I will know that I can finally close the chapter on my quest for love and the enduring desire for connection. I eagerly anticipate your presence, my source of peace.
In the heart of an ancient city, where time whispers through the leaves,
Lies a garden where roses murmur, and the soul finds its reprieve.
Down in the rose garden, where shadows softly fall,
A harmony of color, enchanting one and all.
Crimson and carmine, petals silken and bright,
A fragrant feast for senses, a dazzling, sweet delight.
The sunbeams dance and shimmer, on leaves of emerald green,
Whispering secrets to the roses, in a world unseen.
Their petals, velvet soft, unfold with grace and ease,
A promise of beauty, whispered on the summer breeze.
Among the blooms, a single rose, its thorns a fearsome sight,
But in its heart, a hope resides, a beacon burning bright.
For though its beauty hides a sting, a pain with every touch,
It whispers of resilience, a lesson learned so much.
Each bud that bursts, a symbol, of life's enduring grace,
Though challenges may prick and wound, hope finds its rightful place.
And as the petals fall and fade, their scent still lingers near,
A memory of beauty, for those who hold it dear.
So, wander through the rose garden, let your senses be beguiled,
By colors, scents, and whispers, in this world so sweet and wild.
For in the heart of every bloom, a promise you will find,
That hope will bloom eternal, leaving beauty in its mind.
And there, among the roses, where time and beauty blend,
Lies a truth as old as time, on which our hearts depend.
For every thorn that guards the path to love's sweet, fragrant face,
Is but a guardian of the beauty that we all embrace.
In youth's full bloom or life's waning light,
The rose remains, a timeless sight.
So let us cherish every bloom, each thorn and velvet petal,
For in this garden, life's great lessons are met and then are settled.
With every step on paths of green,
We learn what it means to live, to love, to dream.
And as the day succumbs to night, and stars take their place in the sky,
The roses close, and in the quiet, a hush falls by and by.
But fear not, for with the dawn, their splendor will be reborn,
For in the rose garden, hope is never forlorn.

If it’s love you’re feeling
It isn’t that revealing
Until you give it away ~
To a heart who might pray
For hope, light and grace
Enough joy to always face
The struggles and the pain
Pouring down in gentle rain
If it’s love you’re needing
The only way of succeeding
Is listening to the miracle
A song abiding, peace lyrical
Awakening the faith within
Erasing the dark, deadly sin
With elation that never fades
Inviting the most sacred crusades
If it’s love you’re wanting
Destroying the dreadful haunting
Blessing the soul with wonder
Feelings that will make you ponder
Remembering the inspiration
Coloring everything in creation
With love that knows no doubting
Glory that leaves hearts shouting
If it’s love you’re waiting on
This feeling to which you’re drawn
Know that worshipping the Redeemer
Makes you more than just a dreamer
Your hope is full – Your love enduring
With a love that is so assuring
You know that He is with you, giving you
All the love you need to get you through
If it’s love you need, cling to Him, your friend
The Savior on whom you can depend
He is forever alive on the inside
Always awakening the love to guide
Bringing humility and gentle tranquility
Freeing the heart so it can face any disability
With the promise that His love – so wise
Will always be alive, there to empathize
If it’s love you desire, know that He is a fire
Burning with inspiration so hearts enquire
Will this love bring us through the worst?
Yes, this love is amazing – it’s fully emersed
In the power of heaven, the wonder of Him
Who abides on the inside, filling hearts to the brim
With love that is forever, never ending, the best
A feeling that gives so much soul’s suggest…
Giving Him your heart, so you’re forever blessed!
On the west coast of Africa
Stood a relics of ancient civilization
A golden shore, a light at the end of the tunnel
A pillar upon which the freedom of Africa is built.
Blessed with so diverse a culture
Yet unified with a strong structure
The Banku, the Kankay, Fufu
The Adinkra, the Kante, the Ankara.
The Koloko lite, the Adowa, the Azonto
Beats together the drums of unity and pride.
But Ghana is morethan a land of culture
It's a home to great minds and captivating hearts.
Ghana is indeed an enduring power of culture to unite.
A beacon of hope, home of light.
As the sun sets on the shores of the cape coast
It casts shadows of resilience and hope.
Verse A:
Oh how you've honed rebellion, made an art of breaking rules
Just to garner my affection, but I didn't have the tools
(And I never suffered fools - no I never suffered fools)
I loved you with my diligence and bent my back to make
A bridge of opportunities and a path for you to take
(Cleared a passage for your sake - yes a passage for your sake)
Chorus A:
Can you see it, in the mist
There on high - there on high?
There's an arch, heaven-kissed
In the sky, the hazy sky
You may not see it now
But I built it strong with love
And one day it will hold you
Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye
Yes, one day it will hold you
Bye-and-bye.
Verse B:
Oh I know how I've failed you in many ways I can't explain
We'll never have a friendship - I've caused you so much pain
(So many wounds remain - yes so many wounds remain)
Still I love you to my marrow, with a magnitude, profound
And I built a span, enduring, so you'd walk on solid ground
(So you'd be safe-and-sound - yes so you'd be safe-and-sound)
Chorus B:
Can you see it, in the night
There on high - there on high?
There's an arch, burning bright
In the sky, the somber sky
Perhaps you can not see it
But with love, it long endures
And one day it may save you
Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye
Yes, one day it may save you
Bye-and-bye.
Verse C:
Oh I know my life is waning, and my faculties are weak
My strength is failing daily, and I've lost my grand physique
(Now my prognosis is bleak - yes my prognosis is bleak)
And though I can not tell you how I feel before I go
I know someday you'll cross that bridge, and then, my son, you'll know
(Just how much I love you so - yes how much I love you so)
Chorus C:
Can you see it, through the storm
There on high - there on high?
There's a refuge, safe and warm
In the sky, the windy sky
I know that you can't see it, but have faith that it is there
I molded it with these two hands, with kindness, love and care
So every time you need a bridge you'll know that I am there
To carry you to safety
Bye-and-bye, bye-and-bye
Yes, to carry you to safety ...
Bye-and-bye.

~ 1st Place ~ in the "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor.
A woman of great strength and resolve
Major accomplishments and successes
Defeats being nothing but hurdles
Following the 2009 presidential election
Hillary teamed up with President Obama
To make an impact on the political scene
She picked herself up her head held high
Turning the page… when came 2016
The people had spoken and Hillary
Attended Donald Trump’s inauguration
Tweeting "I'm here today to honor
Our democracy & its enduring values,
I will never stop believing
In our country & its future."
Hillary always will be a classy first lady!

The last few leaves fall off the trees as autumn turns to winter
Standing naked and exposed so vulnerable without their clothes
Enduring months of winter’s cold, they hold a secret I’ve been told
Deep inside their skeletal limbs, their heart and soul beats loud and bold
They need a rest to display their best, as winter turns to spring
And slowly sap is rising as their heart and soul stirs from within
Temperatures rise like the sun in the skies; time for the annual Spring Ball
But don’t arrive early Jack Frost may be waiting, ready to spoil it all
Birdsong tweets the arrival of spring, let the celebrations begin
Dressed in their finest and newest attire, hidden from us deep within
Trees that looked dead have now come to life, resplendent in every way
For spring has now sprung, it is time for some fun, on this beautiful sunny day
Spring has arrived and trees have survived, now dressed in their Sunday best
No longer naked without any clothes resplendent and ‘dressed to impress’

He Was a Kindly Man
Kevin Davis 2024
He was a kindly man.
His voice he never raised in ire.
When I was born, he was already
A father tried and wired
To care for yet another child—
The third in growing line,
Born to parents quiet, wise,
Whose love would shape our time.
They found each other in a war
Still raging through the land,
And married in our mother’s home
With hope held in their hands.
Their union brought six children forth—
Three daughters and three sons;
He labored hard to meet our needs,
She guided everyone.
From home she led with steady love,
With order, warmth, and grace,
While he provided faithfully
A strong, enduring base.
Side by side they shaped our days,
Their devotion always clear;
Within their pillars of gentle strength
We grew in safety there.
Then one by one we ventured out
To walk our separate ways;
Our parents watched with patient pride
Those long-awaited days.
But just as quiet filled their nest,
And life had turned above,
Our father left this earthly world—
Yet never left our love.
His memory lingers, steadfast, bright,
In laughter that we share,
In lessons lived and passed along
With thoughtful, tender care.
Through all he taught, his spirit moves
Within each child we raise;
His living love continues on
Beyond his numbered days.
How blessed we were to grow within
The shelter of his hand;
Our parents’ love gave each of us
A place to firmly stand.
We learned to love and show that love
In all we choose to do—
A gift that flows through us today,
Still shaped and formed by you.
As man and husband, friend and father,
I strive to honor him,
To live in ways that he and Mom
Would praise with knowing grin.
I love you, Dad—I miss you still,
Ever conscious of you by my side.
And speak your name with pride.
