Blessed & Curvy

There was a show that aired on VH1 about Black Greek Sororities Sister People were in an uproar who had pledged in the Greek organizations Others who never pledged but seen it as an exploitation of Black women in a negative view taken away from the purpose of what these organizations stand for. What do you think? If you haven't seen it you can check it out on YouTube. You can go to OnDemand. There is a protest taking place on tweeter to the advertisers of these shows Let me know what you think? Thanks Patricia A. Saunders- Author of Let It Rain www.patriciaasaunders.com

Fear For My Sons Though I didn't birth you I see you as my sons Some are Ivy league and others from the block Walking down the street you're judged Walking into a store you're followed because you aren't supposed to be there It is 2014 and times are supposed to have changed Why does it feel like it's 1950's and I can't sit at the counter of the diner Fear For My Sons So many are taken away by gun shots or police brutality So many are taken away by hands of their own race I fear for you because turning 21 is rare That your Mother has to bury you and it should be the other way around I fear for you that you will be in jail one time and it becomes a way of life That you won't be able to cope out here Fear For My Sons That you won't get gray hair That you won't see your children graduate That you won't walk your daughter down the aisle That you will be a innocent by stander in the wrong place That you won...

This Too Shall Pass Sitting at the window wondering what is next What will the future hold? People are being laid off Houses are being foreclosed on More people are sleeping in their cars Though it might seem like you are at the end of the road This too shall pass Children are being gunned down at school Schools where  you think they are safe They are going to get an education Someone decides to shoot first This too shall pass Food prices going up More and more can’t afford to eat Parents forgoing so that their children have something Oh when will this end? Planes dropping Cars crashing Trains off track Afraid to turn on the TV because there is something else The world is looking for an answer Hear the elders saying stay on your knees and pray This too shall pass By Author Patricia A.

Sing Me A Love Song Sitting here close to you The lights are dim The music is playing Our bodies are close Feeling the  energy between us I hear you singing in my ear I close my eyes Sing Me A Love Song You know the one that makes me want to slow dance You know the one that makes me want to sing along You know the one like they used to play on the radio Your arm comes around my shoulder I feel secure You pull me in closer You're happy I am happy This feels right Come on dear Sing Me A Love Song Patricia A.

If I Should      At the cross roads wanting to leap out on faith What if I should let the walls down to fall in love? What if I should be vulnerable to heartbreak? What if I should change careers at this point in life? What if I should travel the world? You will never know if you don’t try You will never know if you don’t trust You will never know if you don’t leap You will never know what you should do if you don’t listen to the  voice within Not everyone will hurt you To love is what we were meant to do Travel the world can be as easy as watching a movie, reading a  book, or jumping on a plane We put too much pressure on ourselves for something that is  unknown Breathe and let it happen Next time you ask yourself if you should Answer Yes!

Living on the Edge    Life is worth living When you were a kid do you remember climbing the tree to the top? Hiking the mountain Swimming out to the deep end of the pool You didn’t know what fear was Somewhere as you aged someone told you be careful You don’t want to hurt yourself So you started to limit your life You started being cautious You weren’t living to the fullest So I say let the kid come back into your life Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone So while you are not taking those chances Life is speeding by If you said to me you have 6 months to live Why would I start living on the edge? Why would I want to do everything that I was afraid to do? Come on! Start living on the edge and live By Patricia A. Saunders – Author of Let It Rain www.squareup.com/market/patricia-saunders

Thankful During the holiday season people are running around purchasing gifts for love ones My question is what are you thankful for? Does it matter what you drive? Where you live? Who your friends are? My question is are you happy? If I could change three things in life what would it be? I would want everyone to be at peace Not to judge someone for the color of their skin Not to punish someone for their beliefs I would then have to be ready for the response What would the universe come back with? Instead of going broke trying to fulfill someone’s wish be thankful that you have each other. Make them something. Sometimes during the holidays you have those who have lost a love one They might have problems seeing the good when they are so sad Give them a hug Call them and let them know you care Let them know you are thankful for them being here Instead of making it so huge that you feel that you can’t compete Make it worthwhile and make it meaningful...
