Below is a poem written by Sandee

How Did You Love?

You can have the light of the world blind you, or bathe you in grace.

How did you love?

You can be an angel of grace or give into hate.

How did you love?

Nothing ever feels the same when you look at that dream a different way.

How did you love?

How we forget ourselves or lose our way from the cradle to the grave.

How did you love?

This ain't no cross to bury, we are not judge or jury.

How did you love?

Yeah, no one gets out alive. Everyday is do or die!

The only thing you can leave behind is how did you love while on bended knee?

How did you love?

How did you love?
