My Son Eli

You came to me before I was ready
I cried when I heard of your existence
Over night my youth was gone
Worried sick that I wouldn’t be good enough for you
Clueless on what expect for the future
Carrying you under my heart for 9 months long
I knew that I love you
I just never knew how much
Then I saw your face
Those beautiful brown eyes staring straight into mine
My heart melted 
And I asked myself how can a person love someone so much that they just met
But I did
I love you more than life it’s self
In that instant I knew my purpose on this earth was to protect you from all evil
I would give my last breath to you
I would kill for you
I would steal for you
The little keeper of my heart
My ray of sunshine during a thunder storm
So much joy have you given to me
My life is meaningless without you
I taught you how to walk and how to talk 
You taught me that life’s most precious gift is the love of a child
Your smile gets me through tough times
Your laugh is a symphony of music to my ears
I dedicate my entire life to you
I make I lot of promises that I can not keep but the absolute promise to love you till Lord stops my beating heart is one that is forever 
I was young and clueless
Wondering around the word deaf and dumb
Until the almighty sent you to me
I am now wiser and understanding
Selfless, patient and gentle
You, my wonderful son, are the reason for this
You changed me
You saved me
I am forever grateful for you 
My little pitcher
My soldier
My kung fu ninja
My super hero
The joy of my salvation
Life makes so much more sense when I’m looking at you
Where I go, you will go
I will starve so that you can eat
Go without so that you can have
Sleepless nights and empty bank accounts is all worth seeing you happy
Many will disappoint you, leave you, hurt you, and scar you
But remember momma will forever be right here for you
You are the number one most important thing in my life
You will never come second to nothing or no one
No matter how big you grow you will forever remain my little baby boy
My heart and my soul
My beginning and my ending 
My tiny angel without wings 
My meaning, my reasoning, my inspiration and my motivation
My one and my only Elijah William Tippett

I Am Me

I am me
I laugh when it’s funny
I cry when I’m sad
I feel pain when I’m hurt
I am me
I go deeper than the surface
I feel more than a simple touch
I see farther than what the naked eye can see
I believe faith is the key to happiness
And I think forever, instead of spare of the moment
I am me
Brown colored skin, jet black hair, shadow brown eyes, hour glass shape, ditzy crooked smile, ambitious personality and a heart of gold
I am me
Born and raised a Texas flower
Detailed product of my country environment
A small but important piece of God’s glorious creation
I am me
I walk tall
I stand firm
I listen to the beat of my own heart
I follow God’s foot steps
I carry my pride on my face
My motivation is rejection and doubt
My encouragement to move forward is my son
I am me
I am a mother but also a child
I am a teacher but also a student
I am a keeper but also a giver
I am a lover that yearns to be loved
I am me
I look like my mother
I’m unsure like my father
I’m inspired by my sisters
And I fight like my brother
I am me
Bold and beautiful
Wise and understanding
Real and humble
Strong and steady
I am me
I don’t believe in regret
I don’t look backwards
I live for the moment
And I pray for tomorrow
I am me
Some see the surface of me
Others look right over me
Few see the real me
But none will ever intimidate me
Because, I am me…..

Forgiveness Forever

You were my secluded well kept 
secret
My very own private matter
Selfishly I wanted you all to 
myself
Authentically, I didn’t want the 
responsibilities that came with 
commitment
You were genuine, and tolerate
You took my pain into your 
arms and relieved me from my 
own self destruction
You understood my 
misinterpreted intuition and 
over looked my careless flaws
Your eyes saw pass the mirror 
image that a normal male 
would see
My soul you identified
The real face behind the mask 
of shame
Time after time you took my 
troubles and made them 
invisible
I leaned on you as if you were 
a sturdy wall
I depended on your strengths 
to substitute for my 
weaknesses
I manipulated your feelings too 
feed my bruised ego
I used you
I betrayed you
If I were a humble woman I 
would fall to my knees and 
plead for your forgiveness
Because a divine human being 
as yourself is one that you do 
not let pass you by
But I am not
I am prideful and arrogant
I hide my sensibilities behind 
the barricade that I have built 
around heart
I am the woman with many 
scars who can not accept love 
due to the affliction from my 
past
With sadness the only ability 
that I have is to offer you my 
unsteady hand in friendship
With hope
You accept my submission with 
an enchanted smile and an 
open mind
My wish
That you find an elegant 
damsel to embrace your 
abundant love
My aspiration
That you will forever keep me 
closely tucked in a confined 
place near your heart
My love
Will endlessly remains the 
shade of gray

She Thinks

The mind, overpowered by the thought of a un seen subject

The face of the faceless displayed proudly in a well kept device

A mystery with an enchanting tone

Trying so hard to keep quiet

But your words flow from the lips like an undisturbed river

Falling so fast

The head so impatiently restless

The heart heavily guarded

Mental sickness from waiting 

Unbearable fear of what’s to come

Is it the thought of true love

Or the thrill of the challenge

Conversations so innocent

Yet powerful enough to fade the air in the lungs

Chill bumps cover head to toe

Pain from the untold past makes the guarded soul cold

But the silent whispers of the faceless charmer give hope to the impossible

So emotionally involved

Intrigued by lust

Wanting the whole

Expecting the least

Praying for a small part
