			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2242" title="red-roses" src="http://www.jermaineharris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/red-roses-150x111.jpg" alt="red-roses" width="150" height="111" />Roses are red and Violets are blue<br />
This may be common but what does it mean to you<br />
To break it down it is to appreciate the simple things<br />
Beauty of life’s vibrant colors, sweet smells, the way birds sing<br />
The evolution of the living to survive<br />
The borne desire within us to strive<br />
The love that we receive from our mother<br />
The warmth created by being close to one another<br />
No matter the complexities of the cards you are handed<br />
To not enjoy the simple beauties of the world is not recommended<br />
The intensity of the life you live<br />
Is in direct accord to the effort you give<br />
So live every moment with a vigorous passion<br />
Be blessed with every bloom, sunset, and personal interaction<br />
Some Roses are red and few Violets are blue<br />
So take the time to notice them and to your self be true</p>

<p style="text-align: right;">I see the way you look at me<br />
As if to say its right<br />
I pray for you day in and day out</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Something&#8217;s happening to me<br />
The man I used to be is gone<br />
He gave up his life<br />
So I could go on<br />
Girl, on in heaven<br />
Where the love of a lifetime resides<br />
In you<br />
Girl there&#8217;s heaven in you babe<br />
Oh Girl and it&#8217;s so meant to be<br />
This place where two souls collide<br />
There&#8217;s no pain, no fear, only you and I</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have three sisters. One of which I have no relationship at all with. She is 5 years my senior and we have never gotten along. She wanted to be my scolder and discipliner ever since I can remember. When she was a bad teenage person, she failed to protect me, and my spirit was severely damaged. When she found Jesus, she forced me to go to church with her, even though no one else in our family went. Even in good, she tortured me. I never thought of it until right this moment, maybe I should appreciate her introducing Jesus to me. Hmmm, maybe it was her attempt at redemption. Anyway, we still don’t get along. I feel she is mean to the core of her. Rare title, but honestly descriptive. She is married to a man that I despise just as much. He has a host of his own issues. But every time I hear the following song I think of them. I think of myself. </p>
<p>Artist: Kemistry<br />
Song: Matter of time</p>
<p>How can we be more like your brother<br />
He was tall thin and fine<br />
The head of his class yeah yeah<br />
And everybody liked him hey<br />
He&#8217;d spent his whole life chasing heaven<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4076" title="kem" src="http://www.jermaineharris.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kem.jpg" alt="kem" width="138" height="135" /><br />
But never seemed to find it<br />
&#8216;Cause heaven resides right here<br />
On the inside yeah<br />
And people go from bad to good in just<br />
The blink of an eye oh yeah<br />
If they can go from bad to good I guess<br />
Then so can I hmm yeah<br />
It&#8217;s a matter of time</p>

<p>From the top of fame mountain to the freebase lows of cocaine addition, with God on her side she emerges towards victory over what could have took her from us.  On the path but with a distance to go, when asked by Oprah Winfrey,  Do you think you&#8217;ll ever be tempted [to drugs] again?  </p>
