A True Victory

Take something that caused you woe
Use it to sow
The seeds that help you grow
Then you can be glad
For the wisdom you had
To see the need
For such a harvest

Love Storm

Raindrops down the window pane
Sound of thunder fills the air

A storm of confusion in my head
My heart is in despair

Wind is howling the rain is heavy
On and on it rages

My soul to you was an open book
You tore out all the pages

over 2000 women were interviewed for this book and a lot were very candid with thier comments. I am gaining some good insights

Thank you, I will be going to school this fall at a community college, I actually am looking forward to taking a writing class. Maybe my peoms will get better.

My Journey

lest i stumble
lest i fall

let me beseech thee
and answer thy call

from the lowest valley
to the highest peak

true salvation
i do seek

may my faults not be fatal
let my strength shine through

in my darkest hour, LORD
let me find you

yea, i'm gonna need as much luck as i can get, keep it comming

thank you

I held her hand as she lay comatose in a care facility. I went home and wrote this poem. I came back the next day to see her one last time and I missed her death by 10 minutes. My mother died on 1/1/2015

My Mother

You carried me through labor
You endured my birth

You gave me life
You brought me to this earth

From your bosom
You gave me milk

You held me with hands
That felt like silk

You dressed me, you fed me
You combed my hair

Through the tantrums and crying
You were always there

Throughout the world there is no other

There is no one like MY MOTHER

Twisted

I am getting twisted
I am getting confused

It started out fun
Now I'm feeling used

You are so beautiful
you are an absolute dream

you touch the deepest part of me
you make my soul scream

I get so high with you
I am afraid to fall

afraid to fall
afraid to fall

You make me so speechless
I have no more words

I am just twisted

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It really cracks me up when people talk about what they would do in a given situation, when, in reality, we react instinctively. Until the heat is on, you don't truly know what you would do. You just have to be tested under fire to find out.
