Tomorrow

If I were tomorrow-
I'd be a happy day,
A smiling face on everyone
as people go on there way,
If I were tomorrow-
I'd be better than the day before,
Hopeful hearts with love & joy
and no one keeping score,
If I were tomorrow-
everyday...

To Mom

I never want to say Goodbye
my thoughts are all I have,
You Loved me more than I Loved myself
My heart is only half,
My tears are for the times we had
I'll miss you everyday,
The only comfort that I find within-

 knowing with God is where you...

Real Santa*

I believe In Santa Clause-
Cuz that's how I was raised,
More than just a time of year
a holiday-gift giving craze,
I believe In Christmas joy
with presents, trees and lights,
Family, friends and mistle-toe
& Children's smile so bright,

How I Love You.

If I could- I'd write a song-
of words my heart can't say,
It sings of Love & Happiness
and Prays for Love to stay,
If I could- I'd spend all my time
making sure that you're ok,
Your every want & all your needs
would consume my everyday,

What Inspires Me.

Here are a few things
it would take to Inspire me,
A bright smile, a kind word-
and feel in the right place to be,
To know that I am Loved-
& someone wants the best for me,
Who cares what I am going thru
and puts me first is key,
When I'm...

December 25th.

I shook my head to focus-
cuz my eyes had played a trick,
Standing in my living room
it was jolly Ole' Saint Nick,

  He took a seat and said to me

  I see you've turned in your list,

  Why don't you come and have a...

You know who you are.

Everything is Everything
your feelings are your own,
My heart so clear it's see thru-
and you turned into stone,
Everything you asked me for-
to be honest, supportive & more,
You threw it all away, and then-
you walked right out the door,

Our Middle East.

Give us the Hope we deserve
it wouldn't cost you a thing,
Turn a frown-Upside down
the happiness that it can bring,
What if you give Hope-
to Our country that's in need,
Protecting the women & children
from all their neighbor's greed,

My World.

The world that I know is changing
threats of war and no food to eat,
The climate changes still growing
weather conditions we can't defeat,
Housing problems for the homeless
shuffled around with no where to go,
Sent away from our county...

Starting From Today.

Today for me is different
it's not like all the rest,
My head is high, my lungs are full-
you can see it in my chest,
The smile I have is genuine
it comes from inner-peace,
It wasn't there the day before
I no longer fear the beast,

To Mya* From PaPa

You're the oldest of the girls
and I need you to be strong,
Setting A good example-

You have A responsibility
to be A mentor in their life,
Guiding them and teaching them

The Impossible.

What you think's impossible for you-
was just a change of mind-set for me,
so empower your way of thinking
to be anything you want to be,
for every negative thought you have
replace it with a good-deed for self,
only you can express the love...

2day.

Today someone changed my life-
they cared about me more than self,
they seen me broken and alone
and asked if I needed help,
before I didn't want to try
I felt I couldn't cope,
at every turn I tried and failed
which made me give up hope,

I See You

Everytime you responded first
your safety was jeopardized,
you didn't think about yourself
only saving others lives,
For everytime you made a choice
to do what you had to do,
run into a building or give CPR-
I want you to know, I see you,

Mother

Dear Mr. Hurricane
please stay out to sea,
keep all the wind & all the rain
far away from me,
the home they had is there no-more
the foundation is all that's left,
it's hard to keep my spirits high
with misery, loss, and death,

As day turns to darkest night
My love will never die,
Please look down from heaven above
And touch these tears I cry,
I'm Blessed that I could love you
No matter-Come what may,
That you could love someone like me
Even on my darkest day,

#Never Broken

Pray for this broken family
to heal and find forgiveness,
the whole world feels your pain-
we ask God to be our witness,
they've taken a man's life
and haven't showed remorse,
they will never break our spirit
with unnecessary use of force,

New year's RES*

Another year to reach my goals
I'm setting the marker high,
The things I didn't dare to do
I won't be afraid to try,
I'll take my time and focus ahead-
To everything I can achieve,
Everyday I'll live and grow
And stand firm in what I believe,...

Lady

A thousand strokes
of a painters hand
your beauty it'll never find,
But just one look
from a lovers eye
Sees true love of a different kind,
A million stars
with the brightest light
reflects how lovely your glow,
I cannot find words

TrustNme.

Building trust is complicated
a lifetime of error and trials,
It's filled with pain and inner-joy
and sometimes sadness and smiles,
Trust cannot be bought or sold
instead it must be earned,
the give and take can only be won-
if abused, a...

Addiction Vs Hope

I see you now for what you are
I'm not afraid of you,
confused at first-not anymore
by what you think or do,
your hold on me is broken
for the first time I can think,
I wont let you control my life
It's mine and I'm unique,

Monday.

Today started slow for me
my thoughts they weigh me down,
I have to change the mood I'm in-
because in an ocean-world I'll drown,
I think of a happy place or thought
and see my face with a smile,
remember someone needs my love
forever- not just a...

World Struggle.

Right after the pandemic

a building filled with our loved ones
all of a sudden just collapsed-in,
Republican Vs Democrat-
a Governor being recalled,
fear of another capital attack

Hurt & Pain.

One of you can be treated
with a few pills of meds,
the other one is internal
if not treated you could be dead,
if you stub your big toe
or cut your hand with a knife,
it's a few minutes of discomfort
that wont emotionally effect your life,

Overseas-Mother nature has found enemies
But why, doesn't she know we're all God's children

War is fought behind the desk of the unfriendly
who'll never see the inside of the penitentiary,
When waters washed away tens of thousand

Pass it On.

Someone wants your kindness
a hug, a talk, a smile,
comfort them when times are hard
if only for awhile,
find your inner strength in love
the person that you are,
shine a light for all to see
a single brightest star,
Up's and Down's are part of life...

I am-

I am not the kind to say-

or make a person feel afraid
to let there feelings show,
I am not the kind to blame
when something isn't right,
or turn away a friend in need-
instead help him in his fight,

Shadows of my other life
in my mind to me is real,
the person that I want to be-

It started with a smiling face

Black lives do matter.

What matters in life
is different for you and me,
why does the color of my skin
always have to be the key,
judged at first sight-
or looked down-on or denied,
not givin a fair chance
when heaven knows I've tried,
held back for no reason-...

but not impossible to find,

better decisions I make today

a road that's...

The world can be a better place
if kindness was the key,
