Shine On


Birth place of the Underground Railroad is my home and cotton 
fields I no longer roam. Master is gone, feel like I'm free, time to 
rest my bones under this old oak tree. Born by a virgin, raised by 
a Queen, a golden spoon in my mouth if you grasp what I mean? 

Protected and guarded by the great outdoors, sheltered from the 
outer world now and ever-more. Taught by scholars, I trained by 
the tree, the tree of knowledge where not all can see. Tamed by 
emotions, now my mind is free. 

My heart is my guide as my eyes translate, no wait, a formula 
with prescribed ingredients is what's needed to be great. Shine 
on blessed one, shine on.
