There are times when you are among people yet all alone
Times when you are out of place and wish you were home
You must not get down, simply learn to enjoy more; yourself
This person is in your corner much more than anyone else
...

The reflection on the snow sends my mind to a distant place
Many people to see and meet; most I don’t know their face
Yet, I long to be in a place where there is much more activity
A place where with a chance— where I can be what I want to be
...

My mind drifts away to a place many, many miles away
It seems to do this several times during the day
I see your smile, your bright eyes and for a brief moment I'm ok
Yet this still seems to happen with regularity anyway
...

When a new thought comes you quickly have to write it down
Ideas they come and go, so we dont' know how long they'll be around
Once they are retained you can put them to good use
They may help or may even give one a much needed boost
...

Tomorrow could be a lifetime away
all we really have is right now- today!
So live it full and and live strong
and sing to our creator a happy song
...

What would life be like without music?
Periods of silence- no songs
All talk radio
No music stations to calm, motivate or inspire the nations
...

Hello world!
I am going to take a day for myself
I'm not being mean- I won't worry about anyone else
I will relax
...

The black family first began
with our Mom and our dad
Our joys and our sorrows
and how they calm us when we are sad
