Sankofa Soaring: By Sandy Lynne Holman 2/16/2022 Inspired by Brother Rodney Holman
Sadness grabs you like a choking hand
Sorrow hits hard again and again
Death sings to you from day to day
Treacherous tragedies come your way
crushing arrows that hit hard with force
The calls come regularly with endless remorse
One here today, tomorrow they’re gone
One wonders about the road we’re traveling on
Yet……….
Like a powerful Sun rising in the sky
My hope and Love shall never die
My Faith, My Strength, and my resilience too
Will defy the odds and inspire you
I’m forged from things no one should see
Horrible things that took my breath from me
But like an Eagle flying and with a hummingbird’s speed
And with “ Sankofa” Soaring, I plant new seed
I Rise, I Rise, and Rise some more
Never giving up, I choose to Soar
My wings spread wide; my head held high
My indomitable Spirit will never Die
Sankofa Soaring, awwwww yes indeed
I Supernova and my spirit is freed!
Love to you all! Live Fully , purposefully and do not waste time….
