I’ve usually taken to checking the stats for my blog, and received a birthday gift worthy of billions: 332 views in the past week. The most I’ve ever gotten was 58. So, I thank you fellow readers, followers, friends, family who are my secondary support system for my writing. I believe I’ve grown as a writer who has a social conscience that reverbarates in my writing. I also believe that my optimism and hope are clearly reflected, which also attracts readers.
I pledge to write more and share with you my favorite pieces, or those that are favored! 😅

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.
Children’s Hunger
Famine, hunger in such young eyes
Makes your heart flutter and cries
Out for the injustice of their plight
Where food is scarce and working is a fight
Among brothers, sisters, kin to survive,
Survive with enough only to strive
The next day, another forage, another clash,
To sustain an entire family in a brush
With death, daily success to survive
Kills the will to endure, while their eyes drive
Knives in your heart for their struggle,
Struggle to stay together and not take the last bubble
Of air before their father, mother,
Cousin bring a tiny loaf of bread, sharer
Of life giving nourishment is never enough
To end the hunger pains or despair enough
To feel safe that another day
Will shine bright with hope to sway
The powers to help end famine,
Children growing old before their time in fine
Slithers of hope that shine
Through black clouds of hopeless brine,
Brine of depression’s hold that flogs
The will to survive another empty stomach that bogs
Their thinking process to when’s
The next meal, how to get it, who’s pens
Do they take from to stave death
Another day where rest, play aren’t in their path.

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
Without having someone share in the joy of the news, it falls flat and becomes irrelevant. The second thing I’d do is thank God for His help in achieving my goal, news.
