Original Piece: Never stolen but taken Home

                                               

Death has a time to steal us away, steal us and carry us away

But one who was molded and shaped in Christ’s divine was never stolen, but simply taken home.

Here on this day, our eyes and hearts are flushed with tears for a life of which is seen as gone

But smile on, as her spirit is still alive, she’s elevated, gently uplifted in the Father’s hand.

Selflessly: Destruction

As a child I struggled the most when it came onto accepting myself and also being myself. I always wanted to be like this person or that person, but never truly, me. I never thought I was pretty enough or cool enough to accomplish certain tasks and as such I never even tried. In my previous years I used to say, 'I'm an ugly duckling that turned into a swan.' Bwoy! When I sit and remember all the foolishness I had taught and convinced myself as a teen I cringe.

Library Finds

As you all might know from my Hol Mi Close post, I recently got summer employment. This is my first official job; most, if not all of the work I've ever done has been volunteerism. Currently, I work in a library providing assistance in summer school and other duties. While passing time I found a book with a collection of Marcus Garvey's quotes, so here we go.

In the table of contents there is a variety of topics the quotes are centered around below are the few I chose.

Black Beauty
"Beauty, virtue and goodness are the exculsive attributes of no one race. All humanity have their shortcomings, hence no statement of mine, at any time, must be interpreted as a wholesale praise of, or attack upon any race, people or creed."
Marcus Garvey
