Because you see fit to
wake me up every morning
even when I don't deserve it.
Because you love me enough to
trust me
care for me
comfort me
die for me
I love you more
because you are always there (everywhere)
I love the thought of you
and the thought of one day being
worthy
of all the blessings that you continue to place in my life.
I Thank you for filling the voids of my life with your love, peace, and joy.
When I thought that nothing would be right in my life, you showed up and made it so much better.

In just a little while,
you'll understand
the very many things
you were confused about
you'll understand
your pain
my tears
our loneliness
and you'll be content
being in love
with me.
He hasn't given me permission
to say what I've wanted to say
He hasn't given me permission
to not be okay.
Though opportunity has come
knocking oh so many times,
He hasn't yet opened the door
He hasn't yet given me the key
to your heart.
Yet, He holds my life
Yet, He holds my heart
Yet, He holds my love
Yet, will He share my
essence with His 'chosen one.'
And we will know His decision;
when the time is right.
All of our needs will be met,
and we'll finally see the light.
He'll take us to that
Promised Land
where our
Promised Home
and our
Promised Child
are waitng...
to experience our perpetual
praise and our
mighty songs and our
mighty love....
for the One who held
our hearts, our love, our essence...
for the One who made
the door and shaped the key and
helped make our dreams manifest and
for the One who put
all doubt to rest;
I send our thanks in advance.

A promise kept.
Time not wasted
on
meaningless greetings-
-hopeless conversations.
People willing to accept
It takes Faith to go on
A pure and simple pleasure
to find those
who understand
believing makes it better.

JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW...
for He came from a heavenly place
to pay the ultimate price
so that i might have
eternal life...
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO...
...that if i believe in Him with all
that is within me, i shal not
perish, but have
life...
LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONG...
...as a child of God
He knew me before i knew myself
knowing all my faults, disappointments, joys; in me,
He put life...
THEY ARE WEAK BUT HE IS STRONG...
...a life that has no end in He
who was slain to recieve
all majesty, dominion, and power.
He who protects and delivers me
from the snares in
my life...
YES, JESUS LOVES ME...
...for this, I praise You,
I give you all the glory and honor
because Your mercy endures forever
and your grace is upon
my life...
YES, JESUS LOVES ME...
...there is no greater love than this,
no one so worthy, no one so faithful,
no one so permenant
in my life...
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO...

You don't know me
Who I am, who I was
In a past life
Who I want to be
You don't know me
In the future
When I am the ruler of your
World
I am
Already, but
You don't know me
I will be
Your mother to rock
You to sleep
I am
your
Dreams that are sweet
To me I am
The fallacy that you call
Life
Is what I am?
But the truth is
You'd just love to be me.

I have an overpowering personality.
I am the winner
I am the survivor.
I am the dreamer of dreams
The reacher of goals
the planner of plans.
I hold my head high;
I am the lioness;
I am the hunter and the gatherer.
Lover, Bearer, Laborer;
Thes various things can
build
my esteem
or break me down
never!
Those of other ethnic background
envy my royal shade of tan.
They bake themselves in
artificial sunlight, trying to be like me.
I am your portrait of perfection.
The woman for the times
The woman able to do any job
most times better than any man.
I am the Black staute of Liberty
I am my own freedom
I am my own person.
I am not the prostitute, the drug addict
or the dealer.
Nor am I the murderer or the alcoholic.
I am, though, everything
that you and I want me to be
and more;
on the positive tip, that is.
You can add a bag of chips if you want to .

The questions are never
already answered...
or maybe they are, and
we
can't
see
the horizon has a beginning
and never
ends..but
is not
PeRfEcT...there are storms
<on the horizon>
there is fire
<on the horizon>
there is love
which conquers ALL
It's not fate; it's truth
<on the horizon>

As the clock strikes twelve
A.M., work begins, life ends
Provision is key.
i used to write
poetry
but the
iambic pen-ta-me-ter
just wasn't working out
and no one really gets those jokes
anyway.

The veil is lifted
Her perplexed child smiles through pain
The world rejoices
My "carnation contentment"*
is watching you sleep
hearing your heart beat
and knowing that it is beating
for me
My contentment is just being
in love with you.

*from THE WAY I FEEL by Nikki Giovanni
The sweetest thing has no taste, no color, no specific smell
though it could taste like heaven, look like chocolate and smell of
roses.
The sweetest thing is holding
your hand, your thoughts, your heart
in my
hands, thoughts, heart

What is this feeling
or is it...
a feeling...
yes...I do know that time heals
all wounds...but
what happens...when there are no scars....only time....be my friend
time...please...understand me
as I transform and trancend
time.
