I Will Go Forward With Love
"Ain't no giving up 'round here." I will not give in to appearances or circumstances. Faith is easy when things are going well. I have been in a season of atonement. I haven't done everything right; I haven't always made the best decisions. I have always had pure motives, however. Pretty much all the time. Malice doesn't suit me. I simply cannot be bothered to hate you. Like so many of my sisters of color, I've been buffeted by The American Dream. It becomes more like a mirage with every year that passes, but even here, even now, the spark of courage that has always been within me burns brightly.
