These works are translated by a creative, young girl whose growth was interrupted. The gravity of her pain is buried very deep. This page is an effort to rescue her expressing as God allows, her thoughts as they unfold. Now as she peers through the lens of a woman, she endeavors to free herself. As she taps into those hidden places, a true poet is sure to emerge. I hope as you read, you too will unearth some things inside yourself and with her, continue to grow.

Sade 'Soldier of Love' Tribute (Short Poem)
I should have known the Long Hard Road
To love could never Be That Easy
It would take much more to Bring Me Home
Perhaps, In Another Time
When the Morning Bird sings sweetly upon my windowsill
When the wind against my Skin doesn't feel cool to the touch
And the warmth of life embraces me inward
Right now
This is The Safest Place for me
Under The Moon and the Sky of Atlanta
Where tragedy in the life of my Babyfather
Turned me into a Soldier of Love.
