"A Place Called Home" by Justin Williams

The place I call home is grandma's space

Just down the road from Centerwood

Where we eat, sleep, play and say

How we are thankful each day that we are living

Where I can finally say I found safe haven

You smell food like a strong fragrance from down the street

A hello and great big hug is how we greet

We open our arms open wide

So that you feel homey, nice and warm inside

You smell the gumbo cooking on a pot

I'm sure that once you eat it 'll hit the spot

The place I call home is grandma's space

Where you can find a smile on my face

Its saddens me when we all have to leave

But the feeling is not sour but very sweet

We always stay together its just how we do

A good morning from grandma a

Goodnight to that she gives to me

And now to you

So this is grandma's space so sit and relax

The weight will be all off your shoulders

Where you can find love as big as a boulder

This is a place that i call home

For me and everyone in my family

Love is what holds us together

Together we are home.

I’ve always felt so alone No one to love, no place to call home My heart had grown cold Because the people I loved liked to come and go. So I closed myself off I did not want to be hurt Until he showed me the warmth I craved, And soon after my heart was enslaved To the man I grew to love His crooked smile swept me off my feet Which was hard for others to compete, And as I laid in his arms For once I felt complete Was this what I was missing? A sense of security? A sense of safety? No longer was I reminiscing About the ills done before I finally felt like I belonged I felt like I was home Who would have thought a scrawny boy could change so much I am no longer alone I have someone to love, someone who is my home Now my heart is full and warm Because the person I love won’t come and go.

"What Do You Think?" by Anonymous

What we think we become, and my family is known to think big What we think we become, what happens if you THINK about losing your home How do you find it, what do you look for I can always find my way back because its where the people I love are What we think we become, what happens when you think for home I engulf myself with the smell of cucumber melon incense The overwhelming floating fragrant smell of soul food What we think we become, and my family is known to think big Yeah we laugh, yeah we joke We are also mass communications specialists We are PR representatives and diversity and inclusion managers What we think we become, and my family is known to think big Only as a result of necessity to survive Discrimination not only plagues my family but everyone that looks like me My own people not having the state of mind to invest in themselves so they take from each other Our only way out is to think and to think big 10pm is an orchestral performance that beings of t...
