Well, I guess you can say I have become a statistic. I am married with a son who feels like I am only still in it because of my son. I am looking for the things that I am missing. Friendship, laughter, and fun. It seems like once you get married all that dies because friendship is lost. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that is true in all cases or trying to scare anyone from getting married. But that is just what happened to me. It is hard for me to communicate with my husband anymore and it is starting to become very lonely. I am bi-sexual, but just looking for a female friend. I am not here to use anyone or have a love affair. I am just looking for friends and companionship. I need to have fun and feel alive again. So it does not matter if you are far or near, as long as you are a person I can talk to and have fun with.

My dreams are a canvas, for portraits of us
Refined artwork, divine and marvelous
My heart is reborn, heaven tangible again
I once barred love, now I can handle it again
With you I feel whole, my smile’s so sweet
Try to express it, but I’m limited in speech
Hold my hand, walk with me babygurl
Blossom in our love, let the passions unfurl
Let’s create our path, patterns that keep us laughing
World’s already ours so you don’t have to be asking
If I do you wrong just put me on blast and
I’ll make it up to you so this relationship is lasting
For some reason I’m drawn to you, don’t understand why
Opportunity will have it hard passing me by
Not trying to spend all my days wondering what if
I wanna spend ‘em saying babygurl , remember this
Nights full of conversation, warmth and cuddling
We going in this thing together, through thick and thin
Promise I’ma stick with you, even beyond the end

Carver's Favorite Poem, "Equipment"


"EQUIPMENT" by Edgar A. Guest was Dr. Carver's favorite poem; he can be heard reciting it at an audio station at the George Washington Carver Museum . An inspiring video of his life can also be viewed along with a superb collection of artifacts demonstrating his achievements. The Carver Museum and TheOaks, home of Booker T. Washington, comprise a National Historic District, on the Tuskegee University campus.


EQUIPMENT


Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I can."
Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you've all they had when they made their start.
You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You're well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but He
Lets you decide what you want to be.
Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: "I can."
--Edgar A. Guest
