For Things You Can See

Poem By: Jadamink
“For things you can see…”

For things you see…
You might see a flower blossom in white,
but other’s might see it in gray.
You walk your days with your head held high,
but people just knock it away.
Your dreams may play a different role,
showing how people can be.
Pray and wish for the daylight,
but darkness is all you can see.
So when people see your side of love and powerful dignity,
they’ll love to take their cards, assume you of crimes, for the assumption is
hell to only pay thee.
For the wind will blow, the tides will stride, and the heavens will try to ring,
the dogs will howl, the cat’s will hiss at almost every little thing.
Your sun and only shine will begin to break, people will fear thy strength.
Quakes sound deep below the heart seeking revenge viciously, shaking the lonely.
When expectations rise only hate from your heart will obey.
Their pleading for love, respect, and grace will come to a halt and no longer be their way.
For you can see and only play this game.


~They just want power for something they want but can’t take~

I’m Your Child God-Prayers For Our Children-Marian Wright Edelman

Guide my feet while I run this race,
for I don’t want to run this race in vain.
I‘m your child while I run this race,
for I don’t want to run this race in vain.
Search my heart while I run this race,
for I don’t want to run this race in vain.
Stand by me while I run this race,
for I don’t want to run this race in vain.
Hold my hand while I run this race,
for I don’t want to run this race in vain.
-Negro Spiritual

Prayers For Special Occasions Thanksgiving

O God
I thank you You for this place called home
for family, food, fellowship, and fun
for the freedom to pray, sing, and gather together
to celebrate Your Goodness as one.

I thank you for our land and all those who people it
for Native Americans who loved, respected, and protected the earth
for pilgrims who came in search of freedom to worship
for immigrants who came in search of freedom to worship
for immigrants who came in search of freedom to speak their beliefs
for those who came against their will but who adopted and worked
to achieve America’s dream as their own.

Alone Maya Angelou

Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don’t believe I’m wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

There are some millionaires
With money they can’t use
Their wives run round like banshees
Their children sing the blues
They’ve got expensive doctors
To cure their hearts of stone.
But nobody
No, nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Now if you listen closely
I’ll tell you what I know
Storm clouds are gathering
The wind is gonna blow
The race of man is suffering
And I can hear the moan,
‘Cause nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone
Nobody, but nobody
Can make it out here alone.
