Money Will Not Change Loneliness ~ Morgan Freeman Video

Rich, Sick, or Lonely - What is evil?

While listening/watching to the above video regarding money not being enough by Morgan Freeman, I recognized his words were similar with recent written #DawnThoughts in my notebook.

The fact I wrote things being seen and heard was additional evidence of how our human souls connect.

I had just finished writing "egomaniacs" and my mother called for me.

Initially, I was irritated because this mind (an experience other writers can understand) was flowing

I went since all things occurring (good and bad) lately, seem to be quite purposeful for me.

I sat in awe hearing personal thoughts from voice of a man privately called my, "Motion Picture Daddy."

Life is short and money will not buy a lack of loneliness. We experience love by loving unconditionally, with heart and #SOWL.

"Love one another as yourself." 

A commandment seemingly forgotten based on greed, selfish ways, and insecurity.

I believe when we learn to start loving ourselves, real love shall begin flowing in, out, and through us.

Is What You Believe True?

Once I was a #Princess now I'm a #Queen 👑

There once was an Angel,
Struggling more each day.
Difficulties daily,
Especially to pray.

Problems all beginning,
By refusing to sing.
Denying a reason,
But broke part of one wing.

Throughout an existence,
Forever being told.
"Protect both wings always,
Carefully unfold."

Confusion never faced,
Feelings of inner strife.
Knowledge was conflicting,
Based on teachings in life.

"Wings are two perfect gifts,
Defining who you are.
When wing is imperfect,
Failed, lost light like a star."

Thinking every moment,
"Did my mind believe wrong?
Such harmonious sounds,
In tune with each song?"

Focused on solutions,
Bring worry to an end.
Pondered roots of faith,
Now could not comprehend.

Left home seeking for truth,
Searched, studied, learned, plus grew.
Developing knowledge,
 Foundationally true.

Dawn discovered wisdom,
Information adored.
Returned after journey,
With self-esteem restored.

Anticipated trials,
Heart's desire to teach.
Any who would listen,
Beyond her voice's reach.

Hateful sounds of whispers,
Yet fiercely pushed through crowds.
Sensed her heart smile brightly,
Lacked dimness from dark clouds.

Strutted in stadium,
Feeling nervous but proud.
Prepared hearing their words, 
"This should not be allowed."

Shouting, "Impossible,"
Envious judging brains!
"She glows and is shining,
No evidence of pains?"

Educational lies,
Superstitions were told.
Singing sweet melodies,
 Just one wing to unfold.

Overcoming issues,
Helped Angels as they grew.
Dawn's experience proved,
Facts elders never knew.

She taught learn by asking,
Explore questions with man.
Gain insight together,
To better understand.

When did ideas begin,
Belief of thoughts we do?
 Be prepared to answer,
"Is what you believe true?"

Prince Is My Star

☆ Prince Forever ☆

An awesome sowl,
Humble indeed. 
It's no one's fault,
But other greed.

Always there,
Direct from start.
Never taking,
Doing your part.

Performer friend,
Lending an ear.
Difficult talks,
Wishing to hear.

Loving purple,
Know where you are,
Technically still,
Prince is my Star.

How Predators Use Social Media to Groom Victims



Many of us are sick, feeling lonely, or perhaps more trusting than others. I tend to be on the cautious side but love helping people. After reading this article, I felt a need in sharing this information for those who may not be fully aware of dangers lurking on social media to make you their next victim. As a helper, advocate, and good human being, I advise finding help from an individual that is trained professionally, if anything like this has happened to you before. Please click the underlined link below to read the full article.

Mommy Showing The Way

I am a WOMAN now,
But still yes your one child.
Again thinking of you,
Tends to bring a huge smile.

Along our journey,
At times we became mad.
Seeing selves as HUMAN,
Left us empty or sad.

Simplicity of thoughts,
Neither really did know.
Good intent not harmful,
Only for me to GROW.

Love is what we needed,
However received pain.
Yet continued to LOVE,
Despite the lack of gain.

HEALER dwelled in both hearts,
Staying on our side.
Providing while leaches,
Were there just for a ride.

Spirit filled with such strength,
This woman that I see.
Mentor OVER-COMER,
From life's atrocity.

Keep STANDING on those feet,
Fight hard like your mother.
Helping me break cycle,
Abused from another.

Since FAITH is the substance,
Here today I can say.
Learning love in spite of,
Mommy showing the way!

My Real Beast



I am strong and a "Jamaican Woman." Click here if you would like to hear track by Etana on #SoundCloud from her album
 - I RISE - 

Thinking back confusion,
Did not know how to bend.
Body weak cannot run,
Finally reached wits end.

Continued by faking,
What else for me to do?
Unable to disclose,
 Trusting God knew all true.

Trials and tribulations,
Each one safely survived.
Picked up every piece left,
Began feeling revived.

Situations of then,
Moved on to be released.
Carnal weapons that harm,
I discerned my real beast.

An Angel's Tears

YOU CAN DO IT


~An Angel's tears
within the rain~
~Her heart in fear
for those in pain~
~Wings spread wide
to cover those~
~Calming cries
within their Souls~
~She walks with them
in shadows hide~
~An Angel’s hymn
she does recite~
~Guide me Lord
to keep them safe~
~By your accord
their every wake~
~No mountain high
nor valley low~
~Shall keep my flight
from calming Souls~
~She spreads her wings
in calming peace~
~Amen she sings
with Heaven’s glee~

I Feel Such Pain


Mr and Mrs Raj

~My hunger grows
to be at ease~
~My mortal soul
is not at peace~
~I feel such pain
from years gone past~
~My mind insaned
in everlast~
~My every night
is filled with fear~
~I dream in fright
my body sears~
~I stay not sleep
nor do I wake~
~In limbo’s keep
my body quakes~
~My hunger grows
to be at ease~
~My mortal soul
it yearns for peace~
~I pray my Lord
he gave me life~
~To wield his sword
and end this strife~
~To cleanse my soul
and ease my pain~
~To make me whole
be not insaned~

We Can Receive



Open up your mind,
And let me inside.
Imagine the things,
You won't have to hide.

A secret keeper,
Forever I will be.
Sharing fantasies,
All are safe with me.

I know it's scary,
But please do not fear.
Whatsoever done,
Shall remain right here.

Ask me a question,
To help you believe.
I'll only tell truth,
Then we can receive.

Honor To Keep

"Salute Soldiers of Life"
Looking back but again forth.
Fighting for best tomorrow,
Mission making it seem worth.

Leaving loved ones left behind,
Answering a mighty call. 
Lacking knowledge still so young,
Safety now the cannonball. 

Yet who should be decider,
In a foreign land of grief?
Knowing great pain and sorrow,
Then needing help for relief. 

Innocent victims of war,
Still taking place in this day.
Soldiers full of endurance,
Battlegrounds now here to stay. 

Some will remain with visions,
Of times they may never speak.
Remember their sacrifice,
Provide them honor to keep.

Come Back and Stay

Soon Very Soon

Unknown what's to come,
The special eye tears.
Feelings from inside,
My sorrowful fears.

Tomorrows new news,
May still be the same.
Abundant with strength,
And God takes all blame.

Work towards wholeness,
Can't process for you.
Conflicting these dreams,
Since that's what I do.

Desire to help,
However there's me.
Focusing on self,
Hence set captives free.

Time shall be taken,
No masks only real.
Pausing from purpose,
But I made this deal?

Giving all my love,
Helping others grow.
Meanwhile in my life,
Seems I have let go.

Lacking a receipt,
Dimming the bright light.
Destiny I hear,
Challenging to fight.

Overcomer yes,
No not in this way.
Perhaps a brief break,
Then come back and stay.

Let Our Love Show

My family members aren't only related by blood. Thank you for wanting me in your life. #SOWL 💛


Family love is important,
Forever not just seasons.
Generations of people,
Born for specific reasons.

No matter your past mistake,
Stay strong remain united.
Value our foundation,
Committed not divided.

Too much distance between us,
Open wounds never discussed.
Understood we spread apart,
Challenging for us to trust.

"Never say never" they say,

Perhaps if we start to speak.
Our instances "never,"
May cease someone getting weak.

Be there for one another,
Overcome someone's worry.
Togetherness assisting,
See clearer much less blurry.

Hope, prayer or a kind word,
Could be all that we might need.
Support is not difficult,
Rather quite simple indeed.

Seeing it for what it is,
Generation curses tricks.
Families are eternal,
These days we can even pick.

Individual choices,
Fixing issues of the heart.
Forgiveness an awesome gift,
When everyone does their part.

I adore my family,
Desiring you all know.
We deserve lives filled with peace,
Time to let our love show.

Heart Remains With Me


How on this vast earth,
Making you believe?
Sending me a text,
Gives rights to receive.

So what we go back,
A new year and day.
Sure don't know me now,
Diamonds do not play.

You're ridiculous,
After all these years.
Thought you knew me best,
I shared most my fears.

The pain has helped me,
Value myself more.
Just because you knock,
Won't come in this door.

On my own stronger,
I glance back on past.
Smiling from my heart,
I'm first prize not last.

Wish it was different,
But things can't change now.
You received chances,
Had to break that vow.

Not still in bondage,
Struggle being free.
My mind needs love first,
HEART remains with me.

Wait and See

Someone's Looking

Look deep in my eye,
Tell me what you see.
Are you viewing the,
Pain or misery?

Eyes can be windows,
Into our soul.
If you see sorrow,
You're seeing my whole.

We were not promised,
That life would be fair.
Knowledge suffering,
I'm strong and still here.

Ups downs heartache loss,
Yet still I am sane.
Further strength and grace,
So I can remain.

Far from perfection,
I have my own view.
Taking all we get,
Find ways to pursue.

Accomplishing which,
We are birthed to give.
During good and bad,
Created to live.

Some may disagree,
Or believe not true.
That's fine with me for,
All have things to do.

My gift is to love,
Not judge wrong or right.
Despite obstacles,
Keep standing and fight.

This is my battle,
Chosen just for me.
Being a winner,
Sit back wait and see.

Then and Now


Heart ♡ Warrior
♡ My Ker Bear ♡

Remember how my heart smiled,
Just the very thought of you.
There was not a rainy day,
The skies always brighter blue.

Simply hearing sound of your voice,
Better than any sunshine.
Believing impossible,
Knew you were finally mine.

Now a grey sky hovering,
Like storms that will never end.
Evil is such a liar,
And soul had to comprehend.

This struggle shall pass along,
Like many of those before.
My strength is in my Savior,
I don't need you anymore.
