In God We Are One Family

The world cries tears,
it bleeds for a peace,
it suffers in silence,
the mountains look down on us,
the waters rise and fall,
Rustling leaves on the big oak
try desperately to get our attention…
“know us”, they scream
“We are here,
forever we have been here,
we give you life”
You breathe air because of us,
your growth is from our mother,
as your brother and sister
we ask one thing from you,
just one,
“love us too, we are family”

Self Awareness - I Can’t


I can’t judge you
I’m too busy judging myself
I can’t hate you
I’m too busy learning about myself
I can’t envy you
I’m too busy competing with myself
I can’t expect anything from you
I’m too busy expecting the best from myself
I can love you
By loving myself

I Am My Mothers Daughter

“Listen to the Song” - I Am My Mothers Daughter

(VERSE 1)
She sits alone

rewinding her life story

wondering did she do enough

does she know I Am all I Am because of her

found my place in this world

‘cause of the shoulders she let me lean on

‘cause of the tears she wiped away

does she know I love my life

‘cause of how she paved my paths

does she know when I lay my head down

I thank her first and last

for what she’s given of herself

and though many years have passed

I am now a woman who can see

my mother’s life story told through me

(CHORUS)

I am my mothers daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mothers daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mothers daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mothers daughter

I am her work of art

(VERSE 2)

Holding my child I know

I hold a piece of my mothers love

she put me first so many times

as I will do for mine

‘cause of the lessons she always taught me

‘cause of the way in which she carried herself

does she know I gather strength from her

‘cause of her compassionate grace

does she know I pass the stories down

for her grandkids to embrace

(BRIDGE to FINAL CHORUS)

As my children’s life begin

I am my mother’s student painter

who loves with all her heart

because…

I am my mothers daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mothers daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mothers daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mothers daughter

I am her work of art

Your Best Friend

Your best friend must be a certain person,
a person who guides your way,
a person who fills your heart with peace,
and helps you through your day

When you are hurt inside,
and the pain is immense,
worry not, for it is not the end,
someone will be there to help you through,
and that someone will be your friend

When you are proud of an act or an accomplishment,
and you need a person to tell,
then remind yourself of that person you have,
that person you know so well

When you are down and out,
and have no one to call,
just think what your best friend can do,
your best friend is well-known and needed a lot,
for your best friend must always be you

Poem: “Your Best Friend”…A simple poem I wrote in the 80’s as a “birthday card poem” or a “plaque poem”.
