Let the Love

Let my love
shower you
take you on a journey
lift you up high

let your love
lift my spirits
warm me up
on a cold winters night

let our love
light a flame
burn this place
remove the ice
smooth out the edges

let the love
be free
let the love have its choice
let the love take its course
let the love fill you
let the love
let the love
let the love in the door
just this once
and you may never want to let go

I am respect

Hear Ye!
Hear Ye!

I am something you are not
I am something you may not agree with

I believe in this thing call equality
Not just this semblance of it
same laws for all, nonsense
but a day to day
we are the same
rich, poor, black, white, man woman

I believe in spirituality
Not this shove my religion down your throat
my book is the only right book
but a connection
where you and your higher power
understand each other

I am a feminist
believing in a woman's right
to be equal, to be free

I am one who believes
religion is what you make
between you and that higher power

I am pro-choice
because no one has a right to chose
for anybody else

I am a democrat
because i believe that the government
should help the people

I am a republican
because i believe that hard work
brings you money

I am a college student
willing to learn
and understand
and adapt
and think

I am a woman
I am a liberator
I am a worker
I am a slave
I am a mother
I am a sister
I am a cousin
I am a daughter

I am and can be
can be so many things

more than meets the eye
I am

no one can be
what I am
because no one
thinks like I do

So you are who you are
I respect that

But respect who I am
Today
Tomorrow
and in the next 10 years.
