Grateful Day

Im grateful for:

*The Creator - for giving this sinner another day of life.

*Cookie - she is growning up so fast. i miss the baby she was but glad to see the woman is becoming.

*the parents - they keep holding me up when im slipping. im blessed to have them.

*Buffy made it through surgery.

*a trip to Chicago - being able to spend time with the blood family and poetic family.

*Winning a slam the Green Mill. the place was packed, Marc Smith remembered me and it was a great experience.

*finding my way through the maze of life.

*to all of YOU for reading these words.

*to the Most High, for blessings seen and those unseen. prayers answered and those not. You know whats best for me.

peace...

its been a minute but im back....

i still cant believe Michael Jackson is gone, its as if i lost a cousin. im expecting him to appear on some tv show claiming it was all a joke. i watched his memorial service, and while a little dull, it was entertaining. Al Sharpton gets points for the best statement; to Michaels children, 'your daddy wasnt strange, how people treated him was strange.' Al is still a media whore but he gets love for that. Michael was different but if you cant take a walk, go to the movies, go shopping or take your kids to the zoo...pretty much trapped inside. what kind of life is that? regardless of his mistakes, the brother still brought people together with his music. people of all ethnic make-ups would sing his songs, side by side, hand in hand...no other artist has been able to do it. he gets props for that.


im working on a poem that is slowly coming together....very slowly. i will be posting it here as soon as its finished.
