I’m standing on... (Sonnet 14)

Sharing my favorite quote by Audra McDonald. "I am standing on Lena Horne's shoulders. I am standing on Maya Angelou's shoulders. I am standing on Diahann Carroll and Ruby Dee, and most of all, Billie Holiday. You deserved so much more than you were given when you were on this planet. This is for you, Billie."

This is for you, Pastor W.

I’m standing on the shoulders of the one 
Who still believes in me despite it all.
He tells me I am teachable and called
To lead, to love, to say, 

(unfinished)
