I was a blooming flower.
You were thunder and rain.
At first you helped me drink.
But then you poured and poured until I sank.

Can you see beyond
What you believe is a sea
Though in reality
Is a tiny trickle
Expanded only
In the minds
Of those who were fooled

Cross that tiny gap
Break the barriers
Of the past
And find the truth
Of our human connection

We are not a small
Band of ****** brothers
Or a class of kin
Classified by our borders
And the color of our skin

We are a collective
Cut from the same cloth
Of history
The same chain
Of DNA

We are human
To be loved and accepted
Not feared or rejected

We are children
Living within
The limited life span

We are not one clan
Against a million
But one tribe
That counts seven billion
plus

It's cold in here.
Where I sit.
Waiting for the doctor;
To tell us you made it.
We all talk about you.
About how you lived.
A life of yelling and drunkenness.
A life of regrets.
They say your kidneys are failing  
That you're not doing well.
But we try to stay positive
For, even after everything, we still want you to live.
I'm your granddaughter.
And here I regret,
That I didn't try harder
to talk to you about Christ.
Now I sit waiting.
In this freezing cold room.
Hoping you don't go
So I don't have to feel like I left you
On this road of destruction that you paved all on your own.

I knew there was a sun
that rose upon the skies each day
Setting in the afternoon
a twilight time display

Daffodils and marigolds
welcoming the spring
Bluebirds in the maple trees
each morning there to sing

Waves upon the ocean
and a moon up in the sky
Stars above that twinkle
as the evening passes by

Mountains in the distance
reaching high into the air
Falling leaves in autumn
and the colors that they share

Early morning snowfall
in a chilly coat of white
Fireflies so playful
on a balmy summer night

I knew there were so many things
yet I could just not see
Until you came into my life
and showed these things to me

And now that I have witnessed
all that nature has to view
Its beauty still does not compare
to what I see in you
