This past weekend was stunning in the losses....
Bernie Mac, dead at fifty...
Isaac Hayes at sixty-five...
And while they will surely be missed...
Bernie was the funniest of the funny...
Never met anyone who could turn a twelve letter cuss word into a laugh riot...
And Isaac Hayes, Lord, he was one of my faves...since I was a baby...
I was a mere baby, when I first heard, "I Stand Accused"
And I knew that was the ultimate love song,
But something we can take away from this is that life is to be lived...
FULLY...
There was a time when I believed in waiting for the occassion to do something,
Well a sister is over that...
I do the things I can and want to NOW...
Trips need to be taken,
Laughter need to shared,
Dances need to be danced,
And LOVE need to be made...
Because tomorrow is promised to none of us...
I just came back from spending a beautiful 30th anniversary celebration,
And that reinforced to me that we have to take those time outs regularly and do,
What fills us with joy and pleases those we love,
Because no matter how we slice it,
Life is short and when it's done, it's done....
Love and Blessings!
