Good morning and happy Monday to all. I hope you all have had a fabulous week. Mine has been very productive and full of inspiring voices and wonderful people. During this week I had the opportunity to write a poem with a very gifted soul from Nigeria. This young poet has a voice that is inspiring, uplifting, and speaks the words our world needs to hear.
It has been an honor for me to work with Samuel Junior Irusota on this duet. This experience has shown me how two worlds, when combined can create beautiful poetry. I hope that the combination of our two voices will work to show the world how beautiful life can be when differences are overcome, cultures are combined, and all that matters is love and unity.
Here is the piece Samuel and I wrote together. I hope you all enjoy.
Two Voices in Uniting Two Worlds
By Samuel Junior Irusota and Mary Jaimes-Serrano
The world brought
us together
in a time fraught
with fear
And closer
we became
and sweet friendship
we shared
Your youth encapsulates
a beginning
that our world needs
to hear
Your beauty radiates
like the sun
a world
without fear
Your words signal
a strength
society desperately needs
to know
Your words are
like an advise
a child needs
to grow
Your knowledge empowers
the words
of voices too
long silenced
And Poetry brought
us together
in a time fraught
with violence

What stood out for me was the simplicity in this work.
Every two souls that have had to travel together, from being strangers to friends, can fit into this poem.
