Cotton sucked the life out of the farmland
Cotton picking sucked the life out of man.
From any school of choice his color was banned.
Yet this determined young man had a plan.
His passion for flowers and legumes saved the cropland.
Forcing racially closed minds to gracefully expand.
From peanuts, to soybeans, sweet potatoes and pecans.
Offers for fortune and fame came in large demand.
No simple-minded man could ever understand.
A humble and brilliant man simply living out God’s plan.

Final Call
She flings her arms around my neck and squeezes me like she’s never going to let me go. My head spins as her lips brush against my cheek. She must be able to feel my heart thumping in my chest. I shuffle backwards and ram my hands into my coat pockets, watching her reach down and heave the rucksack across her shoulders.
