Rodney Dixon

Growing up in Paterson and Orange, New Jersey, Rodney had a knack for poetry at an early age, often free-styling for fun with friends, at family gatherings and local high school talent shows, Graduating from Orange High School, Rodney went on to attend Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina. Then he joined the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in Wertheim, Germany. His fellow soldiers also took notice of Rodney’s poetic flare. After his tour of duty was over, Rodney moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother relocated. In Atlanta, he and his cousin formed a rap group. A demo was cut and they performed at several local venues around town. Rodney reinvented himself as a poet and spoken word artist.

LOVE IS A MIRACLE

Love is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship and personal ties

Love is always the truth—Love don’t tell lies

Love is communication—to co-exist we must convey knowledge and make known information

Love is commitment—I pledge my love in front of the world with no

Resentment

Love is understanding, comprehensible, yet still demanding

Love is appreciation—an expression of admiration

Love is being humble—humility is key

Love is strength—and being strong enough to say, I’m sorry

Love is quiet—but it’s always heard

What you do speaks volumes—action speaks louder than words

Love is joy and love is pain

Everybody loves the sunshine but can you stand the rain

Love is gettin’ knocked down but standing back up

Love’s a fighter, love’s a survivor, love’s
