Brilliant Words by Ruby Dee
Somebody
"I. I. I say I am. I say I am somebody.
Somebody because--because you--you make me--somebody,
Because--because you are part of
Because you--you share the--the Somebodiness of me.
"When you laugh, you make my lips a part of laughter.
When you cry, tension pulls me from inside.
When you are hungry, my food turns to poison, makes me burst
Bony fingers clutch my tongue when I--when I know your thirst
Because you are part of--because you--you share the
The Somebodiness of me.
"When I see your precious blood out of place, your bones exposed in death--
My blood chills and stops as I try to--try to--give you breath.
I must keep you from all--all fear and danger--
I must woo your peace of mind--
Help you--help you find joy--
Help you--help you find release
Because you are part of--because you--you share the
the Somebodiness of me.
"I cannot own that which you cannot also possess.
Your crime is mine, and from now on I'll confess
Because you are part of--because you share the
the Somebodiness of me.
"You--you--you are at the other end of the steel spring of hate,
So I cannot hate.
When you know my love--my love will warm you--
Cleansing, deep
So, let me--let me take your hand. Let me touch your fingers,
Feel your face. Know your heartbeat and all--all your doubts erase
Because you are part of--because you--you share the
the Somebodiness of me."

Jamen hon är ju helt underbar Mrs Ruby Dee!!! Nu e jag kär igen.
Slå på hennes namn på You Tube så kan ni höra henne läsa sina texter där eller bara lyssna på henne... om ni vill.
Jag ska nog skriva mer om Mrs Dee men är för trött ikväll och så ska jag berätta om när Gud kontaktade Herr Gabrielsson i Oskarshamn nångång i mitten på 1900-talet och vad som hände då och vad Herr Gabrielsson har med mitt liv att göra... för det har han.
Så det ska jag göra... berätta om:
1) Mrs Ruby Dee
2) Herr Gabrielsson
Men först ska jag sova.
