Different Love

Is it a bitter me

No a better me

Learning me

It’s what I see

How you told me

How you judged me

Most likely

Less than

Could be better than

Humbled me

But when I stumble

It’s what I see

How you evaluated me

It would have been nice to see

A high mark for me

Just one you see

Then comes another of we

Maybe they will see more of me but they don’t see

Okay it’s me

Go work harder but really looking for the positivity

Even though harder for we

The environment is the love you some how don’t see

It’s a process of change that only seems to repeat history

The design to find out how you survived appears to be a mystery, but really it’s your innate ability gifted to you from your ancestry

It’s a trait of strength and longevity

Uncovered to teach love and promote

Peace,love,and unity

This is what held you together in uncertainty

Now as you defend your liberty

The love you give is backed by your calling to be more than free

A desire to fight for love, peace, and equality

Speak up you see

Want and do more for we

Stop asking if it’s okay to be

Different in the sameness of

this life because

All this love is for Eternity

Here’s to 2021

Season of Love

2020 I felt you. I’m still feeling you. Everything I felt was before the hashtags all about you.

We are here to journey in this life

We witness the changes to make things right all within a day and all in someone’s night. This is/was 2020 right?

Did I, you, or we just forget about all the changes learned about from the elders?

Did we forget the history before our life in this world? Now here we are another soul, another spirit with a chance to bring more love to the light.

I remember

2019 was my year! I was done with that brokenness, that breast cancer, and even learning to speak up about the kind of love I desired in my life. Still, I had something on my mind, a couple of signs, Oh Lord, you helped me through the made up madness in my mind.

I was signing things 2020 like it was here, and then it was. so I wrote and that’s when hindsight appeared.

2020 My Dear!

My driver’s license, the passport, professional certificate, lease to my home, relationship all expired in this year. I thought that thought, so I worked hard to get rid of that fear.

Pause, eat right, exercise, pray more, do right.

Pause, eat what I want, rest, spend more, but I like to save and give, so my budget had to be right. I kept thinking, kept trying, kept moving, kept smiling.

Go! I renewed everything! New license, certificate , passport, car, and new place. The life I live is my own the acceptance matches my grace. Oh how refreshing LoveSurvived finally closed that case. You say 2020 is a year to forget. I say God is in control, and he’s not done with us yet. As we love each day and plan for our new year, remember we cannot create Love when we are held hostage by fear.

That mask brought out a lot of a covered up hate and the illnesses didn’t just happen in isolation, it was near. We will be legendary, kind, uplifting in the 2021 . We will be loving , gentle creative, and fun. Our prayers must be followed with action that move us to cure the ills of what’s been done. Many continued prayers to the families, coping with the loss of love ones. Let’s lead prayers of strength for those whose ailments are unseen, but in need of healing in the all the days to come.

Dear 2020 you are a moment in time. I will share my love to all in 2021 with hopes for peace and love to come shining through . As I live, just like my ancestors knew, a day would come when all this is still known by a future generation trying to make sense of how we handled a situation that was won.

Today, I’ll wear my masks, and keep my hands clean. I’ll smile with my eyes and create a new dance to be seen.

Note:

So many years ago I lost my mother and that storm made me cry. There was no hashtag for that year, but my heart crumbled inside. So many things happened throughout each year, but each time I became closer to God, and it’s that happiness I look to every second, every hour, every day, every year. We are going to be alright . Love and take action. Justice is Love too, so continue to reach out if you know something isn’t right! Love Today. Tomorrow isn’t promised, but you can surely plan for it!

Much love and blessings to all in 2021!
