Portraits with Pzazz!
And then the day came
When I stopped
I stopped
Dancing for a song
That never paid me dignity
And on that day
I said
I am significant
Then I reached out
And I took it
I took my worth
I took my grace
I took my respectability
I wrote my own song
This song
I can dance to
Proud
Portraits with Pzazz!
If I could bottle timeI’d bottleThe smoothness
Of my young beauty
Fresh on my facade
And only wear
Timely wisdom earned
That comes with
Fine lines
Gray hairs
Sagging breast & butt
Tucked away in my soul
Then again
Hidden inside
There’s be no testimony
Showcase God to the world
Of battles fought
Victories won
Knowledge learned
So instead
I’ll bottle time
Inside my soul & mind
Won’t matter
What the years tell
On my skin
Heart forever young
Then
NYC Streets
Come
I will walk
Beside you
All the way
Through
Don’t give up
Don’t give in
Discomfort is deceit
We will take
One step
Of progress
At a time
