My trip to West Africa inspired me to write this piece. Our Light Is Shining Near reminds me of how important it is to value friends and family.

OUR LIGHT IS SHINING NEAR A people's grief my song to be Roads long I'm told were known to me And if by chance I'm ever freed Our light is shining near! My dreams I fought with nobleness In search of a time where good men rest When the tides of deeds may rise up yet. Our light is shining near! Though patient hearts may flutter still I gaze upon my window sill To see Black people's laughs fulfilled Our light is shining near! Old passion's blaze on lonely nights What finds its way may come to light Beyond the grave I dare recite. Our light is shining near! By each Winter Solstice farthest peak Their storms revealed, my soul is weak If mother's bow our future's bleak. Our light is shining near! Our journey's past is a step away Yet we stumble to reach our dying day I'll search until I find my way Our light is shining near!

I really enjoyed the uplifting feeling and inspiration in your words. That must've been quite an experience.

I just read where Legos is the new financial capitol of all of Africa. It is amazing what can be done when people put their mind to it.

Nicely done. I think you meant "window sill," not "window seal." Very much enjoyed this wonderful journey you've shown us.

I read this and then I think about the American Indian who was displaced........I had nothing to do with either one.....well, maybe the Vikings going into other lands.....anyhow, there is deep feeling in your write.

Love ya!
