To all who may hear me...

Get it straight from the heart
From this poet
Who dreams as dreamers do,
Watching the clock of time tick away
The hours so new.
And yet we are or seem to be far from u,
Just take a look in the mirror
Look what do u see?
And your response is 2 me that I SEE U!

To all who may see me....

An artist,
A teacher,
A little hope in someone's life
To brighten like days of sunshine and sunrise and sunsets
The nights and days,
The happiness and sorrows of it all ...

Alas my love,
I love you more than stars above,
I love you more than any cloudy day,
My love I love you anyway.

I live love and sleep love galore,
I pray for love, I am love and more,
Just you and I, and me and you,
I truly, truly love you too.

Welcome to my love my sweet
My love is something that can't be beat.
I sing this sonnet to thee,
My love for you I love truly.

Alas my love
I love you more than the stars above....

(C) 1983

Can you walk a mile
In my Sunday shoes?
Go to places I've been long and wide
Or some places you'll pay your dues?

Can you wear my shoes
That danced in God's praises
Cutting a step or two
Head reared back and voice raises high
Those old dusty Sunday shoes.

I walked places far as well a near
And back again to anywhere
To any place I want to go from here
And then again.

To marches long for freedom's cry
To church on a dusty country road
To the fields where cotton...

in memory of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes


In hopes that your sleep
Will be the best ever
A sleep that's eternal
In hopes your soul be at rest.
First, hoping that you know Christ
Second, you recognize with others
In hopes your rest is at peace.

We will miss you
Your craziness
Your talent so grand
We will miss you dearly.
Liza you are loved
I pray your soul to be at rest.
