I'm making apple lemon bread today....it's my own creation...one of the few desserts I'll let myself have because it has a lot of good things in it ...whole grain flour, apples, vanilla soy milk, olive oil, natural apple juice, cinnamon..I  do add a little brown sugar...i've tried it without it and it just  wasn't sweet enough so I add some...this bread is so moist and delicious...i'll post pictures later lol

Love knows no time limits... it doesn't count minutes, sunsets or seasons, it caresses, cares for and nurtures, it lifts up, supports and carries those to weak to stand, feet for walking when others cannot.. It's tender, gentle hands on painful wounds, soft words of comfort to a battered soul ,love doesn't walk away from distress, it's a loving ear ready, willing and able to listen, a hot cup of tea on a winter's day, soft rain to a parched land ..Love is tears for the suffering of others, hands for holding and helping through the worst of times, carrying the burden of others when the weight is too much for one to bear....and in doing so.... we heal ourselves

As I lay in the sunshine, lush grass beneath me...
blue skies and clouds so beautiful to see...
my family close by to love and teach me...
not a care in the world in my little mind...
but that's all to change in a very short time...
everyone runs and screams fill the night...
they've come to hunt us and take our lives...
my mother she guards me with all of her might...
she charges and lunges, I cry from my fright...
she falls to the ground, her wounds run deep...
why have they done this, oh mama don't sleep...
I need you to help me, don't leave me alone...
they'll put me in chains, take me far from home...
they say we can't live here, there's no room for us all...
that's why they shot us, they call it a cull...
mama sweet mama, I miss you so much...
and because of this cull, i'm starved for your touch...
I know God loves us, he created us ALL...
and he can't be happy with all that he saw 

When you go to the circus, can't you see me cry?
I'm sad and I'm lonely, I wish I would die
I miss my family and my mother's sweet touch
they chain me and beat me and scare me so much
I want to be free like i'm supposed to be
but they make me do tricks and hurt me so
they won't let me go, i'm the elephant in the show
everyone's happy but I've cried many tears
but no one sees me though I've been here for years
come to the back of the tent where I stay
see how I suffer, I bob and I sway
I need to be free with others of my kind
the circus will drive me out of my mind
if you love me help me! help me be free
please don't support the torture of me
don't go to the circus, my life of misery

I've dreamt of peace from the human, who has no love for me..
I've trumpeted out to God, have you forgotten me?
I fall to the ground in agony, from the bullets in my spine
Run my family run! you can not save me, my life is done
I pray to you dear God in heaven, please keep my family safe..
From the hunters and their guns, who kill us for fun
I lay on the ground with tears in my eyes, they saw off my tusk while i'm still alive!
I close my eyes take one last breath, it's peaceful now the pain has left.

I was just sitting here in my bedroom looking at my parents wedding picture and I started to cry....I realized I don't even know how my parents met... Both my parents died when I was a teenager and being so self absorbed It didn't occur to me to ask... now that I am older ....there are so many things I wished I would have asked them...I would love to be able to cook them a dinner, make my dad his favorite pie, give my parents tomatoes from my garden... something they both really loved...spend time with them and show them how special they are....and how much I love them....if you need to make peace with your parents do it!....if you want to ask them about their lives do it now!! Don't wait! Or you'll be saying if only....

Your face I love to see everyday, so beautiful in every way...

my little one you smile so bright, your blue eyes sparkle in the sunlight...

your little face so alive with laughter, In my life's book you'd fill a chapter...

you fill my life with laughter and joy, you make me happy my little boy...

I've truly been blessed by God above, he's given me you and two more to love. 

Why must you hurt me so, why must you be so unfair...

everyday a challenge, everyday a stare..

my children they wonder why it is, a child of color is somehow not as good...

I am a man just as you are, I love, I hate but I can forgive...

I struggle to my feet but you only knock me down, for what have I done, what guilt has been found...

please don't judge me by the color that I am, for you see I am your brother..your brother with black skin.

 

I sit at home with thoughts to share, but when I look there's no one there...

no happy times to share a laugh, no shoulder to shed a tear...

instead I sit alone wishing you were here...

loneliness  and sorrow of these i'm well aware, longingly i'm hoping but no one to share, endlessly i'm searching but no one to care.
