Mom’s roses.
Crazy Mom,
The other day I came home, and the downstairs was PITCH BLACK. Even the light outside was off. I unlocked the door and to my left I notice a dim light, and a shadowy figure, with kinda crazy hair. I look over and it’s my mom standing over a clear tank with a bunch of cardboard stacked on it and a lamp pointing downward. She’s cast in creepy light, so I walk over and ask, “what’s that?” I look down and she says “Turkey” as I turn up and give her a puzzled stare, she continues, “I gonna raise them and I’m going to eat them” with a crazy grin on her face. My Dad and her found an abandoned nest of turkey chicks. Earlier she called me, but I had no reception - she wanted to know what to feed them. They chirp really loud.
Back in the day when I was a rebellious kid.

This is my baby. Its 8 years old has over 140,000 miles and is a gas guzzler but runs smooth, accelerates well and best of all it’s one of a kind; and by one of a kind I mean it’s been discontinued and I have never seen another like it on the road-though my dad claims he saw a white one once.

Left Eye
When I was younger, my sister, cousin & I used to pretend we were TLC. I’m not ashamed to admit it, not at all- I was Left Eye, My sister was Chili & my cousin was T-Boz. We would do the “Waterfalls” dance in my backyard, and I memorized the rap. It’s still one of my favorites, and I was reminded of it today while I was driving home. It had just finished raining, the sky was still dark and ominous in some parts & there was a divide between storm clouds and clear sky but for the most part the clouds were clearing up. At that same time the sun was beginning to set, and as it set it broke through the clouds. As the rays peaked out a rainbow formed. It was a beautiful sight to behold, as it formed; it was so dim I almost thought it was just a trick of my sight, but as the sun came out it became more vivid- it was so bright and spanned most of the sky. I was feeling really low today, and felt really crummy, it was truly a reminder of God’s promise, out of the stormy darkness his light shown through and he created something so bright and beautiful, showing me that even as I struggled with a deep and sudden depression, he was present to lift me out of it- his glory was like the rays of sunlight, poking through the dark clouds:
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin’ a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin’ hope
Is for the folk who can’t cope
Wit such an endurin’ pain
That it keeps ‘em in the pourin’ rain
Who’s to blame
For tootin’ caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else’s brain
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin’ prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin’ true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
