SHINE ON BRIGHTLY





































A couple of weeks ago, a twisted wreckage email arrived from someone telling me in the harshest, crudest terms imaginable that families formed in the “normal” way, i.e., via natural birth and consanguinity, and those belonging to them, were vastly superior to those of us who have formed families through adoption.  It’s difficult to imagine what  could cause anyone to send such a letter, let alone form and fashion such a stupid, incorrect and ugly thought into words they actually chose to publish.

Years ago, sitting on a westward cross-country plane flight next to the actor known as Mr. T, throughout the journey passengers approached him either saying in his voice and delivery or asking him to recite his famous line, “I pity the fool.”  Indeed.  Exactly.  Amen.

We're Gonna Make It












We may not have a cent to pay the rent
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)
We may have to eat beans every day
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)


  







And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love and You know you got Mine
So We're gonna make it, I know we will









We may not have a home to call our own
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)
We may have to fight hardships alone
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)








'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all the time
I've got your love and You know you got Mine
So We're gonna make it, I know we will








Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)
We may not can spare a roach a crumb
But We're gonna make it (I know we will)





 

And if I have to carry 'round a sign
Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and You know you got Mine
So We're gonna make it, I know we will
