Have You Missed Your Blessing?

My American Flag

The People of today
just rant and rave.
They burn my symbol of freedom,
I just want to grab and shake them.
They have no sense of pride,
For your beauty you never denied.Like my brothers before me,
I have fought to keep your colors free.
With every battle that we had won,
you were there to show who was number one.
When our brothers had died,
you caressed their bodies with pride.
We have our leaders to thank,
for allowing these people their prank.
To them it may be a cloth of colors,
to me it stands for freedom and honor.
We must ask our leaders to debate,
and change our flags fate.
My American Flag this promise I give,
to hold you high and let you live.
My words to you are profound,
I'll keep your colors off the ground.
I will guard and protect your stars and stripes,
with all my power, might and life.

Who Said It Was Simple?

The beautiful Diahann Carroll

There are so many roots to the tree of anger 
that sometimes the branches shatter 
before they bear.
Sitting in Nedicks
the women rally before they march 
discussing the problematic girls 
they hire to make them free.
An almost white counterman passes
a waiting brother to serve them first
and the ladies neither notice nor reject 
the slighter pleasures of their slavery.
But I who am bound by my mirror
as well as my bed 
see causes in color 
as well as sex

and sit here wondering
which me will survive 
all these liberations.

by Audre Lorde

The Question...

Love Who You Are

If Animals Can Be Friends, Why Can't We?

Sometimes Love Is...

One of my favorites..."Misfits"

It takes no time to fall in love
but
It takes you years to know what love is...

Mark Twain Quote

Paul Newman

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

Mark Twain

The Christian life is not a constant high. 

I have my moments of deep discouragement.

 I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'

Billy Graham 

The Bucket List

Barbara de Angelis Quote (Marriage)

My favorite show is "Scandal"

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart,

 not in the ballroom or church or synagogue.

 It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day,

 but over and over again - 

and that choice is reflected 

in the way you treat your husband or wife.


Barbara de Angelis 

Apple Quote

“Here's to the crazy ones.

 The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. 

The round pegs in the square holes.

 The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the

 status quo.

 You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

William Purkey Quote

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Advice to Women

Audrey Hepburn Quote

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

 because that is the doorway to her heart, 

the place where love resides.

Audrey Hepburn 

All Women Are Sexy!!

Wait....

The Rose

The sun went away

The sky went black

Up came the wind

I fell on my back

It started to rain

I began to sink

Then I lifted my head

And took a drink

I perked myself up

And said "please don't cry"

And wiped off my petals

Until they were dry

The clouds soon parted

And out came the sun

The beauty in me

Has only begun.

Advice From A Tree

Repeat After Me

Marcus Tullius Cicero (Books)

“A room without books

 is like a body without a soul.”

Happiness Is...(Peanuts)

God Bless America

"While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, 
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free, 
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, 
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. " 

God Bless America, 
Land that I love. 
Stand beside her, and guide her 
Thru the night with a light from above. 
From the mountains, to the prairies, 
To the oceans, white with foam 
God bless America, My home sweet home.

It's Hot

I, Too

I too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

Tomorrow,

I'll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody'll dare

Say to me,

"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.

Besides,

They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed--

I, too, am America. 

Langston Hughes

God Is A Good God!!!

The Color Blue

Beyonce

Blue is rippling waves
Splashing onto the shores of a beach
Blue is the big moon
Taking over a majority of the atmosphere at night 
Blue is Grandma Helen's dress 
With sparkling flakes of magenta bouncing rapidly as 
she dances with Jesus.
Blue is the law enforcement
That protects this nation so strongly and courageously 
Blue is the sky 
That God holds so close to his presence.
Blue is the color of propane flames
Burning down whatever may get into it's way. 

~Justin Boyd
