What are miracles?
Accomplishments that overcome
the odds that are so greatly
against them. They don’t fall
from the sky against the impossible;
they rise up and triumph in the heart
of desire, of hard work and determination.

No more do I wash dishes for a living,
but I will, if I have to, to sustain my hopes,
the promise of my dreams.

I have written one or two pieces to commemorate this Black History Month of 2009. I have said what I wanted to say, and now I move on with the remainder of my life.

I love you, my brothers and sisters, poets and friends—

Yo Art,

This is excellent.  You've got the right idea.  It's all about:

"of desire, of hard work and determination."

Thank you Bobby. I had no doubt that we would have a meeting of minds.

Best wishes to you and all the gang whose lives have touched mine---
