It was a lovely evening
When the sound of the wave touches the ground
The cool breeze and the music play add to the ambiance
The color of the night blends the mood of the evening
A stranger from the shores of nearby
Develop a friendship in the summertime by
The conversation was put into place
Comfort and calm were set the night
Acacia Trees turn into colors
From blue to the baby pink embrace happiness
From the stars to dark skies
Separated the mood of the night
The rain sudden fall into the ground,
I feel abandoned in the middle of the rain
Lonely from afar, Standing in front of a structure
The smell of the falling leaves on the ground
I feel cool inside my mind and soul
Craving for a hot chocolate to satisfy me
A stranger of the midnight summer pass by
Who knows one day, we cross our paths once more

1. MYSTERIOUS
Your plans are obscure
Yet thankful for the light though
It remains unsure.
2. SHADOWS
Shadows are dark shapes
Hide the pain and let it in
Will bring the sun again.
3. SPOKEN
The nation has voiced
Answers are fuzzy and sweet
Accept and believe.
4. PATRIOT
True loyalty comes
From the echoes of thy heart
Where peace thus resides.
5. FAITH
Let faith come with you
As you move forward with life
Beauty is in hope
6. HOPE
One voice, one people
Conclusions we have to make
Win or lose, there’s hope
7. CHARACTER
Your choice does matter
But will never be on you
Say who’s, against you
8. INNER PEACE
Its raging anger
Drop the unwanted baggage
Cry for inner peace.
9. CITIZENRY
There’s so much to say
Listen to the nation’s plea
Come all, let’s unite!
10. CHOICE
In this world called life
Choices are sometimes questioned
No matter what, breathe.

Walking on the evening of December
Avenue
The memories flashback of
joy and happiness
Parties and funerals got the
family together
Love of my old man always
share with laugher and ever ending stories
A woman in the corner deep
inside full of anger and vengeance
New memories will always be a
family betrayal and pain deep down in my heart.
My heart is so savage that
my blood flow to the ring of the joy of hell
Someday, all the painful realities
that caused my pain
It will make me realize how
God blessed me as a strong man in the end

The strength of a mother
no words can describe she must go on she must survive. you're needed here ,they say. snap out of it , smile , don't let them see you cry.
here is today's Family here or there, no matter where.
The love is forever in the heart. Hugs and kisses, and laughter, sometimes there is sorrow too.
Come to the ocean with me ,
Down to the deep blue sea.
The corals ,the fish , and sea turtles too. They are down in the deep blue sea. Come to the ocean with me , Come play with me .
