A Mothers Concern

A Mothers Concern

Dear My Children,
I know you will moan, cry and weep for me; now that I’m gone.
I found my resting place; know that I’m never alone.
God will always be with you, He has never failed you yet,
Just remember the joy we've had a time well spent
You can sing, shout tell jokes to you hearts content; but know this…I love you: my love you will never forget.
Continue to look out for each another, 
let your love be known, ‘cause mom is looking down
from heaven up above. 
A Mothers Concern

Credit

I know that Im not popular  as you,  give me my credit,  when credit is due.  
Give me my flower ?? while I yet live,  
so that you would  know that I can shed tears.   
It would be thankful and very appreciative ,
that you've  acknowledge my talents and gifts that God gave me. 

Why do I have to beg,  just to get the credit I deserve, 
you say you are my friend until the bitter end. 
Show me the respect that I've gracefully show you,  
just give me my credit when credit is due. 

Thats all that I've ask, just give me my credit when credit is due. 
Not so factious, but honest and true,  just give  me my credit  when credit is due. 
You say that Im  begging  yes thats true,  
I  still ask;  give me my credit  when credit is due.

My Soul Fainted

My Soul Fainted

My soul fainted, because my spirit is weak.
My mind is wondering, while my heart skips a beat.
I’m still breathing because God gave me breath of life.
I’m still here, because he has mercy upon me.
My soul looked back, and wonders, how I made it over?
The answer is Jesus, because he died on cavalry.

Why Have You

Why Have You

Why have you sized me up,  and look down upon me. 
Frown at me when I smile  at you. Are you better  me?  It make look like it on the outer appearance,  but actually you are not. God don't look at the fantasy  things you might,  have he looks at your heart ?. And if that heart ? is not aligned  with God,  then you have some changing to do. To become a better you.

Silence

Silence

She sits in silence every day.
There are many things she would like to say.
The words are there, but never comes out.
She sits in silence every day.
She makes an expression upon her face
to let you know what's she's trying to say.

She may moan, grunt or raise her hand,
just to get the attention were other’s stand.
Help me she said with a silent moan,
I will need your help all day long.

Pray for me as I continue this journey
with these ups and down, I will try not to worry.
It's not easy for the challenges that I face, but I know God's mercy and grace will     help me all the way.
In this very moment and time I thank you Jesus that I'm still alive…

Alone Behind Four Walls

She just realized her phone don't ring.....
She has no body to talk to...
She sit behind these four walls
Wondering were the talkers are
Do they even know that she exists?
If the phone ring will she answer?
That is something to find out.
She sit behind these four walls nothing to do, but just read a book are two.
If the phone rings will she answer?
That is something to find out.
She sit behind these four walls and looking at the perimeter of room ,the shape and how it was made to hide what's really going on behind these four walls
If the phone rings will she answer?
That is something to find out.
She sit behind these four walls contemplating where did she go wrong, did she make so many poor choices and now she is all alone.
AS SHE SIT BEHIND THESE FOUR WALLS!!! ...KNOWING THAT SHE IS ALL ALONE!!!!
