I apologize to all for being absent so long. I recently opened my own business, plus I am deeply into writing a screenplay that I hope to sell in the near furure. You are all always in my heart and prayers!

This is a poem I wrote dedicated to African American fathers on Father's Day. Sorry this is a bit late, but it coms from the heart...


Poem Artwork


BECAUSE


Because you are strong, yet gentle…


Because you are proud, yet humble…


Because you are so wise, yet so young…


Because you are genuine to the core.


 


Because you have ideals that are unshakable


Because you have faith that is unbreakable.


Because you exhibit and demand respect


Because you feel more deeply than most would ever expect.


 


Because you are fair and strive for peace,


Because you adore your heritage, vow to teach


Because our ancestors were enslaved


And your heart and spirit is enraged


That society has raped us, depraved


Our history is rich, and has engaged


Upon the journey to our rightful stage


Among the Royalty of dominion, rebuilding our kingdoms


To future dominance and total freedom!


 


Because you seek to lift the hearts of many


Because you possess charm, its powers uncanny


Because, devoted father, all children you love and protect


Because you are a REAL MAN, deserving of love, history reflects …


Is why you are…


My Hero.
