Where Is the Love?
Song by Black Eyed Peas/Justin Timberlake

… People killin’ people dyin’
Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preachin’?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the is goin’ on
Can’t we all just get along?
Father, father, father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where’s the love?)
… Yo, what’s going on with the world, momma?
(Where’s the love?)
Yo, people living like they ain’t got no mommas
(Where’s the love?)
I think they all distracted by the drama
And attracted to the trauma, mamma
(Where’s the love?)
I think they don’t understand the concept
Or the meaning of karma
(Where’s the love?)
… Overseas, yeah, they trying to stop terrorism
(Where’s the love?)
Over here on the streets the police shoot the people
Put the bullets in ’em
(Where’s the love?)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Where’s the love?)
Then you’re gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Where’s the love?)
… And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind and just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate to the love
So the whole world celebrate it
… People killin’ people dyin’
Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preachin’?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the is goin’ on
Can’t we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where’s the love?)
… It just ain’t the same, old ways have changed
(Where’s the love?)
New days are strange, is the world insane?
(Where’s the love?)
Nation droppin’ bombs killing our little ones
(Where’s the love?)
Ongoing suffering as the youth die young
(Where’s the love?)
… Where’s the love when a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked down
Black lives, not now
Everybody matter to me
All races, y’all don’t like what I’m sayin’?
Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody, guess we all racist
… Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y’all hate this
All these protest with different colored faces
We was all born with a heart
Why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
… Every time I look up, every time I look down
No one’s on a common ground
(Where’s the love?)
And if you never speak truth then you never know how love sounds
(Where’s the love?)
And if you never know love then you never know God, wow
(Where’s the love?)
Where’s the love y’all? I don’t, I don’t know
Where’s the truth y’all? I don’t know
… People killin’ people dyin’
Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’
Could you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where’s the love?)
(Where’s the love?)
… Love is the key
(Where’s the love?)
Love is the answer
(Where’s the love?)
Love is the solution
(Where’s the love?)
They don’t want us to love
(Where’s the love?)
Love is powerful
(Where’s the love?)
(Where’s the love?)
… My mama asked me why I never vote (Never vote)
‘Cause policemen want me dead and gone (Dead and gone)
That election looking like a joke (Such a joke)
And the weed man still sellin’ dope (Oh no)
Somebody gotta give these niggas hope (Give us hope)
All he ever wanted was a smoke (My gosh)
Said he can’t breathe with his hands in the air
Layin’ on the ground died from a choke
(Where’s the love?)
… I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As I’m gettin’ older y’all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin’
Selfishness got us followin’ the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas
… What happened to the love and the values of humanity?
(Where’s the love?)
What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?
(Where’s the love?)
Instead of spreading love we’re spreading animosity
(Where’s the love?)
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
(Where’s the love?)

Good afternoon, getting ready to cook some steaks.🥩 Weather is still cold but at least it is sunny. Better days ahead this week.

Mom’s birthday is the end of April, she will be 92. Sis plans to be back the night before so I’m sure we will take her out for dinner.

Hockey team won and played a good game this afternoon.🏒 Now hubby has golf on.⛳ Sunday is always sports day in our house unless he is out golfing.

On my way to heat the grill, you, hubby and Poppy have a great evening.🥰🥂💖

4 my father I can’t wait to see you again. ✨✨

Butterfly
Song by Mariah Carey

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It’s easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imaged I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And then watch you rise
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you’re
Ready to land
I can’t pretend these tears
Aren’t overflowing steadily
I can’t prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you’ll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me (I will know you’re mine)
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly, butterfly (My butterfly)
So spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Oh, fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)
Butterfly (fly)
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

@kittengirl,

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. ✨✨Lady there is just too much going on in the world.
I wish I could jump through the telly just beat the daylights out of certain people. Sigh..

I am not going to go there I turned the telly off and I am off and running I mean that.

Wait your mother’s birthday is tomorrow? Let me know I will do a small birthday gallery
for her. My dad was on my mind last night. I can’t wait to see a butterfly 🦋.

I don’t want your sister to leave you or your mom. I understand she has to. 🌹💕😘

@71flowerchild,

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast. ✨😎How are you feeling today? I did read your post
from last night and I hope you get enough rain just not too much.

Oodie I am praying this work out for your husband. I wish I could be there and just
support you through all of this. It is a lot. 🌹✨

This evil war is affecting me and I do mean it is affecting many people. I heard a reporter
was killed during a bomb hit. We are just trying to get over the Pandemic and now another
parasite is free in the world. Good grief will it ever end? When will hate end when will war
end? I am going for a long walk and say my prayers for all the evil ones in the world.
