Tributes by DaddyO
Be honest, you belittled so I became dismayed
Your rhetoric really rained down hard on my parade
I stumbled, tripped and fell for your lies and betrayal
Your oppression choked me when I wanted to exhale
Now there's a new renaissance replenishing my soul
A more aware conscienceness that's made my body whole
My disadvantaged days of disgrace have gone and died
From the ashes a phoenix found a new sense of pride
You can still be a part of this hopeful happiness
But I have left behind my doubts, despair and distress
I embark on this journey, trepidatious and slow
For when the clouds clear away there remains a rainbow
Across the sky streaking, standing so proud and so bold
Held with love and acceptance as priceless pots of gold
