Today is A time for us to think beyond our current personal borders
Today Is a time to rethink the thoughts that brought us to the place we find ourselves

Tracts mud into the house
Eats all the vanilla ice cream
Doesn't fall sleep until early morning hours
Uninvited guest
...
the birth place of the sweetest watermelons in the world
I win the watermelon seed spiting contest every year
...
Place your right hand over your heart and repeat after me
I pledge allegiance
To extend my hand to lift you up
...
Immigration is not my his to ry
As I write these words I become emotional
I am the only black person in this class
It seems I must carry the burden of representing all African Americans
...
Plane crash
Nothing but mountains
Nothing but snow
Nothing but cold
...
Death where are you
Death I called out to you in the dark
Answer you did not
Death you make promises
...
To see your pain
To hear your cry
To be your friend
To lift your spirits
...
We Live In A Time Of Great Opportunity
Today is A time for us to think beyond our current personal borders
Today Is a time to rethink the thoughts that brought us to the place we find ourselves
Today is a great opportunity to share more than we ever thought we had to share
Today is a great opportunity to see with fresh eyes
Today is a great opportunity to be the humans we were created to be
Today is a great opportunity to hold hands and be one mankind
Today we live in a time of great opportunity for mankind to be kind
Today is a great opportunity to build bridges where none existed before
Now is a great time to look each other in the eye and see the child that we all really are
Now is a great time to make history
to declare history to be what we know we can make it to be
not what it is
Walk yourself, talk yourself, be yourself.
You can live a rich life without being rich.
