Mighty One
For Karen Mighty-Byfield
Mighty one.
Powerful and strong.
To this land you belong
For in no one’s box do you stand.
So you must run
To find your wings
And fly to Destiny.
Beautiful one,
You were brave all along
And now you know
That fear taught you your song
No more can you be overrun
By regret so deep
And nightmarish sleep
That aimed at your dreams.
Because now you know
The secret of your hips
As they swish and dip
To your promised destination.

In Pursuit
In Pursuit In pursuit I chased but In got disengaged from the ordering of my mind. I looked for a sign it did not come so my sign I made But ended up dismayed When my sign led to a dead end. I ran and ran then ran some more to find a home secure but instead I ran through an open door and ended up on a desolate moore! Then from the corner of my eye now here's my sign though I but look here it was a big black fly! So now I roam far from home my pursuit now quite noisome.
It Feels Good
It Feels Good I remember when I use to dream about heaven What a glorious place it would be. Life was really rough then rejected I could not see the end of the commotion of that life. But now I sit in joy I feel the warmth of my belonging. I have few good friends, true love that will never end and trust me It feels good. That dream is no longer far I don't have to wish upon a star I can sit under this Julie mango tree watch the coconut leaves sway in the evening breeze knowing I have been blessed. And though it still tough, since I never gave up, I live to know each day that life, it feel so good.
This Thorne
This Thorn It is perfect This thorne in my side at first I denied to smile Through this thorn in my eyes. The wait is long now I cannot see my hope grew strong. So to God I sing a new song Now I know where I belong. Since I surrendered I can sense this great love the plans I had for me no longer convinces me Now it is His great plan that qualifies me.
Recall Greatness
Recall Greatness Let's recall greatness those who stood the test of time. They require no trophy they services carry no fee because they did it with love. Love selfless love. They did all so we today can stand tall Their reward cannot be found here it resides above where only the sincere ones gather. Let's recall greatness that does not care for that small portrait you prepared for them to sit in. No they broke the glass because their dreams surpassed everyone's greatest imagining. Let's recall greatness as they stood in the dark and shone and shone so we could see our own light. Let's recall greatness for they sought treasures not trophies.
Portrait of a Queen
Portrait of a Queen There is power in her, black strong and true. Framed in sunshine, a masterpiece from paradise - Eden's golden child. Protected by the sword she roams in elegance. A natural queen. The Nubian queen. There is peace concealed in those loving eyes. A smile that tells you - "It's okay to thrive". She stretches hereself reaches tall enough to touch you where you are so you too can shine like a star. Now watch her shine in a beauty that is so divine.
Your Walk
Your Walk When you begin your walk, you will know who you are, you will be who you are, and give of who you are. When you begin your walk, the least will be great in your heart, you will forget your fairy dreams and live in your steps, real dreams. When you begin your walk, you will know when to wait and do what must be done, before it is too late. When you begin your walk, you will honour those at your gate, for they are your fate, they will make you great. For to build them up is to be graced with an overflowing plate.
