Summer Solstice On this longest day,Sun stands tall and bright,Tilted Earth in sway,Dancing in the light.Northern skies aglow,Day extends its reign,Shadows small and slow,Summer’s warm domain.Southern lands await,Winter’s fleeting stay,Solstice marks the date,Light will soon hold sway.Nature’s vibrant call,Life in full display,Solstice for us all,Light’s triumphant play.Celebrate the beam,Sun’s embrace so wide,Solstice like a dream,Guiding…
Mom’s Books, My Journey In quiet hours,I find her,in the books she left behind,her thoughts,captured in the margins.Words of wisdom,in faded ink,lessons she didn’t teach aloud,but knew,I’d one day discover.Her handwriting,a comforting presence,guiding me through pages,of stories we never shared,yet,always connected us.Mom’s voice,silent now,speaks through these books,revealing truths,I wasn’t ready to hear,until now.I turn each…
Stars in Her Eyes In the night sky,Glimmers so bright,I see your smile,Shining with light.Stars form letters,Messages clear,”I love you, dear,”They whisper near.Twinkles of love,From up above,Guiding my way,Night after day.Constellations,Spell out your name,In their patterns,You stay the same.Though you’re away,In heaven’s care,Your light still shines,Everywhere.When I feel lost,I look to skies,And see the stars,In…
Hands clasped in prayer,With faith, she stands.Guiding with care,Loving with hands.Teaching the way,Truth to instill.Day after day,Heart never still.Gentle her voice,Wisdom she sows.Life’s given choice,Grace that she knows.Morning to night,Kindness she spreads.Beacon of light,Soft where she treads.Strong in her love,Firm in belief.Sent from above,Giving relief.Through joy and pain,Steady and true.In loss or gain,Love’s hue in…
On the sixth day,God looked down on his planned paradiseand said, “I need a caretaker.”So God made a mother.God said, “I need someone willingto get up before dawn,cook breakfast, clean the house,work all day in the kitchen,cook supper, then stay up past midnight,tending to a child with a fever.”So God made a mother.”I need someone…

Letters Never Sent Fields where silence gently weeps,They penned their hopes, their souls to keep.Words unwritten, lost in time,Echoes of their sacrifice, sublime.Dreams of home, a warm embrace,Imagined in a distant place.Battles raged, yet hearts stayed true,To those they loved, to skies of blue.Promises made, never fulfilled,In letters where their dreams were spilled.Courage stood where…
Grace in Her Footsteps In dawn’s soft light she starts her day,With hands that fold and lips that pray.Her steps are light, her spirit strong,Faith guides her as she moves along.In tasks both humble, grand in scope,She finds her strength, her endless hope.Each meal she cooks, each cloth she mends,Her love and grace, on them…

The Negro Mother’s Song Amid the night’s tranquility, my dear,I sing a song for you to hear.A melody of dreams so grand,Of freedom’s touch and justice’s hand.I hum of times when chains were tight,And we fought bravely for our right.Of heroes past whose spirits soared,In the face of hatred they roared.With every note, I wish…
