He was a good little child with such a sense of adventure
Sure he could be a bit wild but that's what childhood's for
Yet on every single Sunday come rain, snow or even cold
This little boy went to church to pray in doing as he was told
And each week was the same as his parents said rise and shine
For they instilled this flame knowing by doing so all would be fine
Each week his Father said come hear putting two nickels into his hand
The purpose he would make perfectly clear then saying do you understand
One was to be given to the poor to try to help them in their difficult way
The other being his for the store that nickel being a lot back in the day
And so he flew out the front door and was quickly almost half way there
Had he known what was soon in store of that nickel he'd taken better care
One bouncing down the sewer then no more oh how life can be so unfair
Looking at the other nickel then the store he then looked up into the air
And with such a solemn childish way and in being in this particular pickle
He said, "Lord I would just like to say that I'm very sorry about Your nickel"
(Oppressor say's)Old *****, don't you run no more;
(***** says I already forgave you)
(Oppressor say's)
Old *****, pick up da shovel and stone; (***** says it's up to you)
Move da dirt wit yo hands; (***** says one day b free)
Then that might make U a man; (***** says God says I am )
Old *****, bare the weight; (***** says I shall not hate)
Old *****, you sure ain't;
Gonna rise and shine with the sun; (***** says God made the sun)
Cause can't ya see ya all mine; (***** says NO man owns no one)
Now them bodies in that hole;
Them too had a place to go;
And there's somethin you should know;
Freedman, freedom comes and freedom goes;
Best now slave bettar behave;
Or there them bones of your be in that grave;
(Old ***** say's )I'm dependent on God;
I don't hate them there master's at all
Cause WE ALL gotta see God;
So when I'm done suffering,
Still on my knee's praying;
I must continue on believing and forgiving;
Cause master too got a judgement day awaiting , juzzin like me;
Yes, I'm free but can't go to where I ain't been, U see;
Guess I'm just mosey on down this old road here;
And if our paths shall cross this here land again;
I'm entitled to call you friend;
See I have no heaven nor hell to place you in;
Can't punish you for what you did;
All I know is that I must forgive;
If I want the Lord to forgive me;
by and by, we all gonna go
Old *****, they call you back
Old *****, free at last
Old *****, they call you black;
so mister don't git too relaxed;
I've been beat on, yet I'm strong;
Been caged up, yet I rome;
Can't read yo words, but I remember mine;
You mistreated me, now I'm free;
Alas! in awe all I can do is not hate but forgive you;
You and no devil gonna git me to choose;
In closing my words I choose God have mercy on the oppressors, masters, And evil rulers for I will forever be in prayer, always...
In Jesus, in God shall I be this I say, I pray;
This of the testimony of an old ***** slave;
Who praised the Lord

There many beautiful islands
lovers can visit for a sentimental escape;
I must choose that one you never explored
before: that magical one you'll come to love eternally!
We'll sail away to the peaceful island of Capri,
the jewel of the Mediterrenean Sea;
with eyes and faces lifted against
the warmest sun: our wishes can be granted instantly!
And strolling through the narrow streets
adorned with roses, geraniums and begonias:
this is the paradise sought by all dreamers,
and in it we must live our glorious, eternal moments!
Sitting on a balcony hovering above
the splendid sea with white, red and blue boats:
we'll look out to the twinkling horizon
to spot our evening star rise and shine over us 'till morning!

Trying harder, with a grieving heart
To lift one's character
Through ashes of emptiness,
Break all barriers- planted by division
That leaves people trapped inside out,
Dignity ruined by sorrows',
Making them voiceless like 'dead-wood',
Their souls scattered- all over like broken jar
With every piece looking to start again
Making it cumbersome process
To dethrone fear, and grow hope
Rise and shine, and enjoy the streams
Find joy in new beginning, with evergreen attitude
And hovers one's wings of hope like never before,
Sending goodwill messages beyond hills, and across seas
That you are coming, to bear testimony of inspired warrior
Gently, like happy storm
However, this time, to be victorious
Rakhi to my brother
No distances can part
no bearing can breach ...
As tender strings of rakhi
I tie on my brother's wrist,
Send heartwarming wishes
to Illuminate those paths,
that we traversed together
Holding each other's hands.
He reciprocates with a gift
my fav he has always known,
Vows to stand by
In all thick and thin,
His pat on my back
and caress on head hearten,
Many nostalgic memoirs
recalled to brighten.
You my brother
I can always count on,
and lean on ...
Words fail me.
Those wonderful years
throughout my life,
spent in fun and pun,
Many blissful moments
some tears shed,
Laughter and scoldings,
Tiring little games
Homework giggles,
lovely vacations together.
Cute hard chases
around in the courtyard,
Climbs of mulberry
amidst beehives,
Winning brought cheers
while losing gave sigh,
Etched in souls
are memories so sweet.
You my brother
Rise and shine,
Wish be the best ...
bubbling as always,
Sparkle forevermore.

For my dear brother Vasu
Rise and shine my lilac
I've something special planned
Wait now, don't get up too fast
Here, let me take your hand
I've brought your morning coffee
But that's not the big surprise
I'll tell you while you're sipping it
As sleep fades from your eyes
I've gotten us a bicycle
One that's built for two
It's got a wicker basket
And a comfy seat for you
Let's go 50 miles
The country roads are vast
The autumn leaves are brilliant
So let's not go too fast
You sit on the front seat
I'll take the one behind
This way I can look at you
And dream things in my mind
I hear the next town over
Has arts and crafts galore
Let's head that way at sunset
And browse through all the stores
I've gone ahead and rented
A place for us to stay
It's wood-fired and it's cozy
And there's two guitars to play
There's a great big deck outside in back
It's great for viewing stars
May I carry you through the doorway
And pretend the place is ours?
Don't worry about the distance
I've done 50 before
If you're feeling tired
I'll pedal all the more
I want to make this special
A day for you carefree
I'll take care of everything
Just come along with me
To my oldest…
You are my living legacy, born of spirit and of bone,
A power all your own that rises every time you stand.
My eyes, my laugh, my likeness in the way you’ve grown,
You honor our story well, carrying our name as a man.
Because son, you're so handsome, keep your soul guarded well.
Don’t give your heart to chapters that were never meant to be.
The world resists a young Black man with vision he won’t sell,
Let the Spirit be your anthem, your compass toward prosperity.
Son, you're so handsome—my greatest work, my seed.
Son, you're so handsome—more than a father could believe.
It breaks me down to watch you rise and shine like this;
You make it look so natural, redefining what handsome is.
To my youngest…
You consume so much of me, reshaping everything I knew,
Your absence still echoes softly, carving space where love expands.
Your heart is like mine—but wiser, braver, beautifully new,
You carry my negritude with a freer, more fearless stand.
Because son, you're so handsome, keep your soul guarded well.
Don’t give your heart to chapters that were never meant to be.
The world resists a young Black man with vision he won’t sell,
Let the Spirit be your anthem, your compass toward prosperity.
Son, you're so handsome—my little king in motion.
Son, you're so handsome—more than a father’s quiet devotion.
It brings tears to my eyes to know you’re no phantom,
But a prayer answered fully—look at how you're so handsome
All aboard the Fantasy M/S of Carnival
for half a week’s vacation time of fun and falderal.
Hear greetings from your captain, his director and the crew.
Ready, set, get going. The Bahamas wait for you.
Bon Voyage! There’s Reggae music playing on the Lido.
Dinner is at 6 or 8. Hold off on that tuxedo!
You could eat a pizza by the Windows On the Sea
or go beneath to dine on shrimp and meet the maitre d’.
Gamble or see comedy; reflect upon the ocean.
Late to bed; relax your head; sense the soothing motion.
Rise and shine in Freeport where the ship will dock all day.
You can disembark to take a tour, or you can stay.
On board the ship, take a dip; lounge or dance Calypso.
Get yourself massaged; work out, shop or play some bingo.
All day long, you can find folks doing funny things
like contests for the men with hairy chests or knobby knees.
Day two when you waken, you will be in Nassau.
There’s stuff for everyone, from your kiddies to your grandma!
Little ones may stay behind. Folks will entertain them,
or the kids can tag along with the adults. No problem!
If you like adventure, visit lovely Blue Lagoon.
For snorkeling with sting rays, the boat leaves right at noon.
You can pet some dolphins, but extra you should pay
if you want to swim with them. That’s one special day.
In town you might be nabbed by a plaza beautician.
Getting braids is all the rage, so people get their hair done.
Get back to the gangway before the ship sets sail.
If you‘re still not having fun, you must be a door nail!
“Day at Sea” arrives as your trip is winding down,
And the biggest night is coming; women wear a gown!
That final evening dining perhaps with a new friend,
you’ll wish instead of ending, it were starting all again.
Gals and guys with braided scalps; everyone looks nice.
Ah, that midnight feast with pretty sculptures carved in ice.
The ultimate for leisure if you’re after more than snoozing’.
In the laid-back natives lingo: “Mon, you best be cruising!”
NOTE: (this describes a vacation I took about 12 years ago, my first
and probably last cruise ever, unless I come into money. haha.
I'd seen Europe in my youth but as vacations go,this truly was
the best one.)
