I miss songs that brings hope, more joy,

Love, in each life; those presence that remind me

To look within and I’ll find the strength,

To love someone other than my own life:

When I have been hurt, when I have been displeased

About how I have been treated, how I fail myself,

My love ones, and I: When loss, somehow are

A part of one’s life: I miss the songs that

Refresh my own memory, to always be hopeful,

touched hearts, to have faith to rise:

And songs that cherish one’s heart, share stories

Of great ancestors, how they fought,

How they stood strong, how they withstand

The tedious miles: And inform its listeners,

That we are worthy, loved, valued, and more

Than what we allow, what is not right, in one’s life:

I appreciate the poetic songs that teach all race

Of generation, that we are not a moment recreation,

A moment pleasure, we are on the journey to free

The souls that are trap, depress, in bondage

and that we are one of the kinships children

That must learn to keep the faith, value the self,

Each other, value mankind: And see the reflection

Of our ancestor’s bravery, in our own life:

I appreciate the songs, that inform its listener,

inform me, that we belong to a regal kinship man,

A regal kingship woman

A regal kingship child, learning what it means

To connect to a higher self, to help all humanity

Tap into the sacred part of their hearts,

To keep the peace and rejoice, to the breath of life:

Songs that share wisdom, reminding me,

That I gave birth, to three priceless, wealthy,

And brilliant lives.

About the author

empressjournee

I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College (M.E.C.); mother of three, grandmother and great grand. I love to read great books and listen to podcasts that uplift my consciousness; sharing historical view of the different shades of color, the various culture, the way we all are connected, the musical genius throughout the world and the works that are done to help us tap into ourselves and know that we are worthy. I also love to write poetry and sing. There was a moment that now phase in another aspiration of my life, I felt singing was a forum—a path to take, that helps to voice, express my thoughts, in time where I was struggling, battling something I did not understand and what I was going through; feeling unsupportive. Although, there was some support, especially from my love ones, the challenges I faced was mostly internal.
I am so grateful for the grace I have been given to be able to write my poetic thoughts, that is my freedom. I was a part of a journey that taught me lessons and motivate me that preparation is a must to face a world that may not be ready for a new rising star. Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry. I especially wanted to give honor to my mother who is no longer in the physical, as well as my natural father for the knowledge of health before he departed from this planet. Also, I would like to thank you my supporter for being on this journey with me even at times when the journey seems unclear. May we appreciate the blessings that has been given to us, as we continue to soar, as we reach a place of true jubilee.
