A Mother's Day Poem
I write personalized poetry for all holidays, occasions, etc. Here is a poem for Mother's Day that is dedicated to my late mother, Karly Jefferson Ellis (Keturah)
I hope you enjoy
thanks
Marvin (Karaam)
I saw a star on the eve of awareness
shining from the eye of my soul
guided by the wisdom of many ancestors
giving heart to all that I hold
like a diamond with perfect angles
or a garden with every seed
grown through patience, love and divine guidance

The License The Talk Vs. The Right To Talk...
The world is full of Humans. Humans of all classifications and the one thing that we all Humans have in common is our ability to gain and retain the "License to Talk". What is the License to Talk? It is simply the badge of awareness of a particular subject or life experience that gives one "legal right" to speak what they know. You can acquire the license to talk from school, from an organization, from self study, from a particular experience or anywhere where you, the Human, acquires new inf

Happiness
Happiness is all around you
it is in the early morning air
it is in the commute to work
it lies between the confusion of the day
and creates a harmonic balance
happiness is the most precious jewel to find
in a sea of despair and sadness
happiness walks with all Humans
even when we aren't paying attention
happiness pulls at all of our frustrations
urging us to move through it
happiness finds us in our darkest hour

Thoughts on Human
By the author of The Human Race Bible (www.amazon.com)
Life
life is what you make it
it comes at you from all directions
it never slows or stops
it is movement eternal
you are a part of everything
so life is your handmaiden
use it for success
use it for prosperity
use it for health
become one with life perpetually
you have a choice

Now author Michael Belfiore has profiled the agency in a new book.Arlington Ladies Pay Tribute To Fallen Soldiers
