I know it's Thursday, but hey, better late than never! The word last week was LOOMING. I thought about it... thought about it some more... and came up with nothing! So my challenge to you, my faithful followers, is to show me what you're working with: write something on the word LOOMING and post in my comment section. :)
The word for this week is BRAVERY. I was able to come up with something. :) So tonight, I offer this poem...
Gotta Find It
Copyright 2010
Had it...lost it...need to find it...gotta find it
Lost it somewhere awhile ago
But today,
I need it
Got to find it
Had it my first day of school
Didn’t know nobody
Walked up to Lil Miss Popular and her crew of “Popularettees”
said, “I’m sitting here”...
Sat there the rest of the year
Had it that day Mookie was picking on my little brother
Punched him right in the nose...
Muhammad Ali style
Had that day on the back of Michael’s red moped
Arms tight around his waist
Smile plastered on my face
Had it that night in the backseat of a yellow Chevy Malibu
Anticipation in the atmosphere
Static on the radio
My feet in the air....
Had it that day I left for college
Waved good-bye to Momma and Daddy
Got on the plane
Handled my business
Had it...lost it...need to find it...gotta find it
Need to find my bravery
Gotta find my voice
Need to find my confidence
Gotta find my joy
Need to find my courage
Gotta find my true self
Cause today,
I need to
Got to...
Let you go
