I dream, I hope, I love… Unconditionally May you see His light Shining in me I aspire to inspire And strive to achieve Expecting results In the face of adversity I believe in those things The eyes cannot see My faith is like that Of a mustard seed I laugh and cry and fight In […]

Pain and pride Are in our stride Shouldered to protect Innocent lives Despair and grief For all we’ve seen Righteous anger For some who lead Power and money Can corrupt good souls Tempting the best To lose control So, a license to achieve By whatever means Tests our faith And all we believe As we […]

Grateful today is a new day… To realize our mistakes To change old ways To heal our wounds To mend and renew To explore what may To embrace a change To learn the truth To grow,    And reach,       And stretch Beyond…    what you thought was you. Soul Seeds… As ‘people’ […]
