Take time to know your woman
take time to know your man
Take time to know each other
before you give your hand.
So often we may overlook
some times we just ignore
A flaw, a fault, an instinct
that could lead to so much more.
Heartbreak, pain and drama
we really do not need
Be very, very careful
and be prepared to read.
Read the eyes and the face
body language and heart
Just use your own good judgement
don't let life fall apart.

A MOTHER'S LOVE 3/23/2011
A mother is a blessing
she gives life and she nurtures
She teaches right from wrong
she goes without so we can have
And doesn't blink an eye.
Mother's love is unconditional
she is there when we're in need
She always knows what's on our minds
our emotions she can read.
So please don't take your Mom for granted
she won't always be around
Give her all the love that's in your heart
and give it to her now.

MATTERS OF THE HEART 3/23/2011
Our hearts say yes
but our minds say no
Oh what a state we're in
the love we give
Is not returned
a dilemma we can't win.
Matters of the heart are hard
we know what we should do
Don't settle for less
and don't be afraid
To find true love anew.

ALONE TIME 3/23/2011
To sit alone in a quiet room
is music to my ears
Listening to nothing, speaking no sound
no worries, no cares, no fears.
Quiet time is important
to regroup, meditate or just be
Time alone, a nice walk, a nice soothing bath
it's all about being free.

THE FLU 3/18/2011
It engulfs my body from head to toe
my body is aching and I move very slow
My throat is burning and my eyes are a puff
chills and fever surround me
I've had quite enough.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't breathe or smell
and to put it quite mildly, I feel like hell
The pain that I feel you just can't believe
for a speedy recovery I constantly grieve.
A week goes by and then there is two
at last I'm starting to feel anew
When all of a sudden the cough hits like a storm
at night it's the worse but it's still there in the morn.
Cough drops, cough syrup, aspirin and vicks
I just can't remember when I've been this sick
Lord please, please, please get rid of this mess
it's time that I started feeling my best.

COURAGE 1/13/2011
As I sit here in the waiting room
looking into all these faces
I see so much dispair and gloom
all sizes, shapes and races
There is also a lot of love I see
a young man soothes his father
spouses kiss their mates and plea
for another day together
She has lost her hair
his skin is pale
to lose hope they will not dare
their courage will not fail
The look on these faces is hard to place
is it sadness, peace or grief?
Some are with loved ones, some are along
but all are with courage beyond belief

THE MONSTER 1/13/2011
I watch in horror as the fires rage
across the hills like a locomotive,
it's color like autumn
Firemen race back and forth
trying to contain this evil monster
People scurry to protect
their homes, their lives
all they love
The monster attacks all in its path
not caring about preservation of
life or limb
Go away monster
leave us alone!
You have hurt us before
destroying everything we have
Haven't you taken enough
I watch, I pray
please suppress your anger and leave us in peace

I AM HERE 1/13/2011
As I gaze into his deep blue eyes
I see the never ending pain that sears his body
Like a fire that cannot be extinguished
and still he goes on
The loss of appetite for things once beautiful
and desirable to him
The loss of weight that diminishes his once strong
frame to skeletal
and still he goes on
The night sweats, nausea and mood swings
that are beginning to change his identity
and still he goes on
I ask what I can do to help
I am here!

MY LOVER 1/13/2011
Music is my lover
it caresses my soul
and takes me to places I've never known
It makes me laugh
it makes me cry
at times it even makes me high
It makes my hips swivel
and makes my feet move
to the beat
to the rhythm
to that down home groove
Music is my lover
and its mistress I shall be
it caresses my body and sets me free
it caresses my soul
and takes me to places I've never known
It makes me laugh
it makes me cry
at times it even makes me high
It makes my hips swivel
and makes my feet move
to the beat
to the rhythm
to that down home groove
Music is my lover
and its mistress I shall be
it caresses my body and sets me free

TO MY GRANDCHILDREN 1/11/2011
If you love, trust and respect yourself
you are in control
no one will ever abuse you
no one will ever take hold
Temptation is always lurking
but you have the final say
remember one mistake can hurt you
and you will have to pay
You are the future
so take life very slow
enjoy and treasure every moment
but be prepared to say no
No to negativity
no to sex and drugs
you are beautiful
you are smart
your heart is filled with love
don't make mistakes irresponsibly
thru persistence and a shove
You are the master of your decisions
you must make the choice
you know what is right
you know what is wrong
so listen to your own voice
you are in control
no one will ever abuse you
no one will ever take hold
Temptation is always lurking
but you have the final say
remember one mistake can hurt you
and you will have to pay
You are the future
so take life very slow
enjoy and treasure every moment
but be prepared to say no
No to negativity
no to sex and drugs
you are beautiful
you are smart
your heart is filled with love
don't make mistakes irresponsibly
thru persistence and a shove
You are the master of your decisions
you must make the choice
you know what is right
you know what is wrong
so listen to your own voice
THE GOOD OLD DAYS 1/11/2011
It's amazing how we remember
our college days long gone
that cute petite girl with the sexy bod
that tall, handsome guy with the beautiful smile
Those were the good old days!
Tall ones, shorts ones, fat and thin
full of energy, vigor and vim
running to classes in two minutes flat
all able to party the night away
Those were the good old days!
First time being on our own
doing things we've never done
doing things we'll never tell
trying our hardest to be grown
Those were the good old days!
Now many years later we all have changed
our bodies are plumper
our minds not as sharp
we are now in our golden years
These are the good days now!
Our vitality's gone
all night parties tabu
running takes effort
but we still have our fun
These are the good days now!
Its so much fun remembering
those days so long ago
but much more fun enjoying
the life we are living now
Those were the good old days!
BUT
These are the good days now!

MY LIFE 1/10/2011
My life has been amazing
but not without a glitch
I've dealt with life
I've dealt with death
I've had my ups and downs
life's been what God has planned for me
complete with smiles and frowns.
The joy and happiness I've felt
has been beyond belief
two sons I'm very proud of
a family full of love
so many to watch over me
like angeles from above.
Grief, dispair and anger
have also been around
I've lost so many loved ones
I've been down on my luck
some times have been unbearable
but I have made it through.
I cannot change my life gone by
I have no regrets at all
what I should have done, I didn't
no need to pout or cry.
What's in my past is over
no time to ponder that
what the future has in store for me
is all I care to see.

LET IT BE 1/10/2011
Why is it we're not satisfied
with the way that we were born
we go to depths to change our looks
our hair, our face, our nose.
Enlarge our breasts
reduce our butts
take skin from here and put it there
and how it's done we do not care.
Take a look in the mirror
and like what you see
be proud, be happy
and let it be.
