As I lean back
To float
Upon the clear, bright waters
I heard the whispers
Of the water

They tell me,
You see?
You float
You are naturally buoyant
You are not meant to drown

**Hold on
Put together in like 5 seconds, but whatever
When you give a cup of water to someone and then a bite to eat, you do more than meet their material needs. You show them a simple kindness and give them something in which to believe, you build a link in a chain of hope that helps all humans live. For a chain of hope is stronger than the problems of life, it helps people to be renewed in spirit, it helps them to come alive. If each person believes that kindness still exist, then a chain of hope can be built with bonds of family through out the world of man. It makes each person say that I can do something and makes them want to stand. So the next time you see a need, do what you can. Continue being a link in the chain of hope that can bind us all together as a human family and bring want and need to an end.

Forget your childhood dreams for they are lost
Evaporating into the thin air of history
There is no fairystory ending
But death, destruction, ******
And there the fairystory must end
Reality, yes reality
Blood stains on the streets
Because the barons of the drugs decide
Supremacy must meet
It's become so easy to point the gun
Without thought to extinguish life
But they in turn must answer
And they in their turn must die
Feeling angry tonight
Curled up on a front porch swing with a special someone under a blanket watching the rain fall. Playing patty cake with a two year old who is just mastering the ability to walk. Listening to an old friend as they pour our their heart to you. Holding the hand of an elderly parent as you guide the one who used to carry you. These are stolen moments that occur in life. Special times that you cannot get back and that are held as treasures in the heart and our memories.
By the blood of the cross I will live, by the blood of the cross I shall be judged. By the blood of the cross I may find redemption. By the blood of the cross I will not know death. By the blood of the cross I will offer up my life. By the blood of the cross I will repent and seek to do better. In all things I am by the blood. If not by the blood then by what measure shall I have hope beyond this life.
I am a friend I am a sibling , I am a mentor I am someone's lover. I am kind but I can be difficult. I have moody days and I am imperfect. Accept me for who I am and I will accept you in return. I am willing to love and love need not be returned. I am unconditional with my gifts for they are given with an open heart. I am willing to learn and willing to teach. I am willing to listen and willing to give advice, only if it is ask for. I am many things to many people but in all things I am human. I am ever changing and hoping to do better tomorrow. I am myself, this is who I am.
