Relationships

What you see and experience in my book or the world becomes a part of who you are. We are changed each day in small and big ways. Thank you for sharing part of your day with me. Keep coming back. Share your ideas and help me share mine. Do remember…a sequel is coming.

God Bless Billie Holiday

Soul deep blues song

Fluttered into her heart

On Iridescent wings.

 

Cause Mama had, Daddy had

Relatives with crust of bread

 

Wore the fragrance of accepted

Abuse in your hair to

Attract butterflies

 

Cause Mama had, Daddy had

Relatives with crusts of bread

 

Leave needle tracks of don’t deserve

Along strong arms that

Reach for the wrong love.

 

Cause Mama had, Daddy had

Relatives with crusts of bread

 

Served love at the crowded table,

Chrysalis dormant

Awaits a distinct song.

 

Cause Mama had; Daddy held

Crusts of bread

 

Swallowed too much

Strange fruit
