I've found my love

I've loved and been loved, many a time,
And many a time before.
I've lost that love with the passing of time,
Never to love anymore.
I've always seem to find someone else's
Heart beating just for me.
I've lost that someone, because of someone,
Needing it to be.
I've never grieved upon the last,
Because it was not too real.
I've searched and found, found and lost,
Heartbreak never to feel.

Quote of the Week

The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.

by D. C. Cowan

Reach out your hand;
Reach out your hand;
Try to understand.
Can't you see somebody needs you;
You'll never know when you'll need someone too.

Reach out your hand,
Reach out your hand.
Try not to reprimand
Look beneath the body, the mind;
Search the soul and see what you'll find.

What's important to you?
by D. C. Cowan

What's important to you
As you live day by day?
I ask you,
What's important to you,
As you go on your merry way?
I wonder,
What matters to you?
What could be on your mind?
I wonder,
What lesson did you learn?
What truth did you find?

Africana History Fact

Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola

(1937-1998) Nigerian businessman, presidential candidate, and political prisoner.

On June 12, 1993, the popular businessman Abiola won a long-awaited presidential election in Nigeria, only to have the country's military leader, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, annul the election results.  When Abiola declared himself the country's legitimate leader a year later, Babingida's successor Gen. Sani Abacha, jailed him for treason.  As a political prisoner, Abiola became the rallying symbol for Nigerians' democratic aspirations.

I Had a Dream

I had a dream last night
Of how to live right.
It gave me a brand new start,
Now i know there's a God.
Deep in my heart I know,
My Jesus loves me so
As long as I live the life;
He'll ease the pain, sorrow and strife.
