Keep Your Head Up Young Child

To My Children

Keep your head up young child.
I know life has been hard,
and every time you try to do what's right....
there is someone trying to get you to do what's wrong.

Keep your head up young child.
Sooner or later,
you will realize that Mom and Pops wasn't just singing you a sad song.
Keep your head up young child.
Don't let them see it hang low
because someone out there will try to break your flow.
Keep your head up young child
because all bad things come to an end.
And believe it or not
there is someone out there that is a true friend.
Keep your head up young child
remember there are no wrong times or places to pray.
Keep your head up young child
because after tonight...there will be a new day.

Seen and Heard

I have been blessed to see and hear miracles at large.
I have heard some of the worst things
about lives near and far.
I have heard people speak out of love and many of devoted hate.
I have seen Mothers deal with sorrows
and take all that they could take.
I have seen the sunrise bring in a brand new day.
I have seen how God works in the gardens with hands full of clay.
I have seen the birth of the new and the death of the old.
I have talked to the elders that are
ready to pass on and go home.
What i have seen is just a splinter in a tree.
What I have seen is Us, You, and Me.

Life

Life. It's amazing how there are so many things in this world that you can notice if you just sit back and look, listen, and observe. Quite I sit, looking at the people go on with their daily lives and only exhale when they have too. The remote control is sitting by the bed and the only break they take is when they hit the off button and in return they get to mute out the world and take a temporary break. Squeeking bed, the smell of coffee, the faint but close voices are saying  Mommy!, Honey!.........Wake Up!
Up.....up........down. Just a few more minutes will seem like a lifetime if only they can get back to the remote control and hit the pause button. Well in this case a pause is unacceptable. So off they go with the new day beginning, no pause and no break, no sitting back to look at the world.
