Standing with my partner ready to go.
Follow the lead, step off the cliff.
Leaning into the deep greens and blue rhythms of the waves.
Feel the stretch, the push and pulls.
Standing with my mentors, helping me grow.
Notes run up and down into a crescendo and decrescendo in a Do-Wah ditty-ditty.
Following the master and learn when to lead.
The beats of my steps into soulful arithmetic of meaning.
Standing with my family, emulating their faith.
Clasping hands to face new adventures with excitement and faith.
Seeking ways to lend my hand with acts of kindness – unconditional, glorious, quiet love.
Humbly embrace tender gestures that resonate with me like jazz in my heart.
Standing with my heart open, listening and singing your praise.
Grappling with the transformative winds of social justice.
Bending, turning, moving, listening, feeling your pulse oh God
Creating my melody to reflect on your Love.
