Papa broke Momma’s heart, Broke it real good, Smashed her innocence into A million trillion pieces But she did not die No, Momma did not die Momma, she took those pieces, Each and every one and set them High Up on a shelf. Time she said, Time will mend it. But I don’t think it …

With a little faith… and love
We move through our lives grateful and present in the moment with faith and love wisdom grows and we are reborn
A Good Man… A Good Soul…
Over the weekend, I learned of the death of one of the men at my church. I didn't know him well, but he was the type of person who exuded warmth and love for his fellow-man. The type of person who brought joy into a room. For the last two years, my attendance has been …
Woods Revisited
In the night my tears did flow In the night I called for help Twisted words answered me back And cut my heart to rubies In the sparkling morn They showed me the way To a yellow wood A fork in the road A decision to be made In the night my tears did flow …

10,000 Steps a Day…
It's nearly noon and looking at my pedometer, I am more than 8,000 steps away from that goal. The first day with it, I didn't do very well; only 1,700 steps recorded. Of course, I left the darn thing at home while I ran errands. Today, I put it on right after my second cup …
An Ending Curse
May unhappiness breed is your evil heart May mirror always show your true face May you came to know the evil you’ve done All this I wish for you Your betrayal of love shall be forgiven Once the price has been met.
Justice…
When we achieve justice for one of us, we achieve it for all of us. The shooting of Trayvon Martin didn't just hurt his family and friends, it hurts all of us. Many of the students who come in my classroom already have a problem with the color of my skin; complexity of ethnicity not …
