Shannon Ford-Jefferson Poem
Extensions of self
Coupled with mirrored reflection
Gifting kindness in deed
Riddled with thoughtfulness
Each person guilty of going the extra mile
Only to lend muscles in faces
Of recipients, to turn upward
Hearts overwhelmed and warm
Done from the way one's life tends
To overflow
In the street
Running like faucets
Across lawns and limbs
Reaching destinations unknown
Daring to capture the unsuspecting
Allowing for moments of random
To seep in
Attracting the goodness in humanity
Feeding the soul
Until the world is infected with good
And it inherits the earth

Shannon Ford-Jefferson Poem
Chasing rainbows is nothing compared to waterfalls
They cascade upon dreams that were once deferred
More beautiful than a song, lyrics that pierce the heart
I often sing it off key, to the beat of my own drum
Ba da ba da dum dum, my strings do play
Every moment I gather the courage to bellow the words
Living in the moment, as if nothing else matters
As if everything will be more than just okay
