I rise early in the morning
It feels dark and menacing
The rain, thunder and lightning
Dance across the sky
A train rumbles along in the distance
I jump at the next clap of thunder
Today I will take a ride
Into tomorrow
For the choices I make today
Will change my life forever
Tomorrow beckons
I am hopeful that today
Will bring me closer to
The one I love
But as this thunder
Is it sign of foreboding
Or is it applause
For my newly made decisions
Only tomorrow will tell
Only tomorrow

These truths
Self-evident
Are my way of life
My beliefs
So true I hold
The creator made me
Men and women he created them
Equal and endowed with
Certain unalienable rights
For life, liberty and the
Pursuit of happiness
He made us to love him
And that I do
He wants us to have faith
And worship him
That is easy to do
He never makes mistakes
And I am his child whom he loves
I am equal to any other
And I have rights just like each of you
I am a bisexual
Loving the Fourth of July
MY RIGHTS HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY
Knowing this year is now different than any other
I am no longer a felon or a person who needs to be afraid
I am now legitimate and have rights to privacy
That all others had before
Soon other rights will be given me
As I pursue my right to happiness

Happy Birthday
IN HONOR OF
Happy As Folk-Jeanice Maxson
MY SISTER
You have been
More than a sister to me.
You have been a part of my heart
And a part of my sweet, struggling soul.
Your spirituality seeps through cyberspace
Reaching me at my lowest ebb and my higher swings.
I miss our daily contact and our daily prayers.
I am like a pendulum, swinging this way and that
Until your steadying spirit centered me.
Your beauty and love of life and nature
Equal those that I share with you.
Your caring, loving, happy nature
Sends warmth and pleasure to my heart.
Oh, if you hadn’t been taken, I would have
Melted your barriers and shared my love.
But I am thrilled to be not only a friend
But a sister to you and yours.
I am delighted to just share this special
Love between us that is spiritual, emotional,
And speaks of twins, two halves of a whole.
You are loyal, and honest in your love.
I will always be there for you.
Your presence in my life has changed me
Knowing that truly your addition into my family
Was indeed a work of the L-rd.
Thank you for being my twin soul.
