So Grateful to be on the scene thanks to
Tennessee Women In Green!
So many voices with important choices.
More to share from so many who care.
More great speakers for Day Two,
but this wonderful summit wasn’t through.
Anxious to see what was in store
at the Omohundro Water Treatment Plan tour.
Taken from my social media posts for TWIG
Tennessee Women In Green - while attending the
2024 Women’s Environmental Leadership Summit
From Jefferson Street that stretches to Fisk
Where he was a student willing to take risks
Boarding the bus as a Freedom Rider
Willing to carry the message wider
With sit-in protests at Woolworth's counter
He's well-known was a Civil Rights founder
Honored with a street in his name
Now they're trying to strip that away
Not yet a year from the day
Rep John Lewis Way needs to stay!
Often seen at the side of Dr King
Equality is what they tried to bring
Later sit-ins on the Georgia House floor
Always willing to say and do more
He witnessed so much hatred and rubble
Only seeking to incite good trouble ……
That’s the John Lewis way
Honored with a street in his name
Now they're trying to strip that away
Not yet a year from the day
Rep John Lewis Way needs to stay!
Written after attending a rally last weekend seeking to prevent change of street name.
Added downtown mural photo in support of poem.
Flags at half-mast
It happened so fast
Her Peabody is gone but his spirit lives on
As a mini horse, he was tiny of course
But so much more he had in store
Saved by a lovely soul with loving him her goal
Taking him into the foal, gives him a chance to stroll.
Not one to shunt the runt, fully accepts the brunt
Soon to find he wasn't blind, so endearing his selective hearing
So many to inspire before his liver would expire
Her Peabody is gone but his spirit lives on
Saw the story on The Kelly Clarkson show this morning but then was so sad to see the In Memoriam.
Jackie, James, and Marshall
Not sure which I’m more partial
To these strong men well chosen
By the great Chadwick Boseman
SO Inspiring as Black Panther
HOW can he be lost to cancer?
Such brave character woven
In the great Chadwick Boseman
written after watching ABC special tribute to Chadwick Boseman.
I pushed
the team away
Been
cheering for the Braves
They
began back in Boston
My
husband found it Awesome
That my dad saw game back then
Working back to the Sox again
