The only thing that's sleeps next to me,
Is a pillow now and occasionally,
My daughter who climbs up into bed,
Softly on my chest just to lay her head...
She's the warmest thing that I ever feel,
So enormous without the sex appeal,
Just a 6 year old but she knows the needs,
Of her father that seems to slowly bleed...
She will tell me all of the sweetest things,
Giving so much love minus all the strings,
She appreciates all the things I do,
Which alleviates any pain from you..
Any moment you take advantage of ,
She will own it so I can feel what's love,
Never asking me what is in return,
It's the last thing that's ever her concern...
It's the smallest space when I'm in my bed,
So I pretend the pillow is her instead,
Taking up what room that is in my heart,
While the others use it to keep apart...

Oh how much I loved you,
And my love grows stronger every day
I pray in my bed each night,
That your memory never fades away
You are a part of me always,
And a part of me is forever inside of you
I think of you in my every thought,
You are with me in everything I do
There is not a day that goes by,
Where I am not troubled by my past
But how long can I endure all of this,
How long is this pain going to last
I can think of you and smile now,
Because your memories keep me warm
The visions of your sweet smile,
Have helped me weather this storm
You are with Jesus now,
Playing in the fields of paradise
No harm shall ever come to you again,
You shall always feel nice
Should you ever get lonely,
Do not be afraid to call my name
I am here for you always,
And that will never ever change
The End

*** Ritisha is my daughter's name. In Sanskrit, it means The godess of Truth or someone who never lies***
I watch her stir awake
And open those deep dark eyes
The look in it my breath it does take
And all I can do is sigh
She sees me looking at her
And her lips break into a smile
And yes I am her big tall father
But I fight my tears and try not to cry
She holds my hand in her tiny fingers
And pats my unshaven face
Then she gets up all lady like
Oh! You are so full of grace
I watch her leave in her school bus
All smiles and happy between friends
And I wave her good bye hiding my tears
Yes, it’s a daily trend
Watching you leave for school
Makes me think of the day you will go away
And maybe I am being just a fool
Worrying over you this way
But I can tell you this my baby, my daughter
And what I tell you is true
The greatest friend you will find is me, your father
And I’ll be there to protect you
So step into the world and spread your wings
And soar high in the sky
‘Cause till I am there in your life
I’ll ensure you never cry
She handed the stick to me in silence.
A red plus symbol faded on its end.
“What does this mean?” I said in shock.
“We’re going to have a baby!” She beamed.
The hidden magic of your conception,
washed over me in pride.
You would be the true linkage of unrelated people.
The beginning of the pinnacle of my creation.
I longed to hold you.
On a small screen in a sterile office,
I first saw you in black and white,
Playing in the darkness.
The sound of your heart beating intensely,
Brought us yet closer.
I watched you grow and felt your flutters,
Kicking and twisting within.
I was given the honor of selecting your name.
But I longed to hold you.
Interruption of my sleep,
Came on a warm night in August.
You chose an early exit from your confinement.
A midnight drive I orchestrated to a solemn hospital.
With my reeling body seated in a corner,
After many hours and countless contractions,
You split the morning with a feeble cry.
Through my exhaustion I could not look away.
I oversaw every detail of your first hour .
And I was the first to hold you in Love’s eternal embrace.
She Said
Sometimes life gets so hard
You stand so long that you get tired
It’s not about giving in
But knowing you just can’t win
It’s about the rules and the hypocrites
The tighter you hold the harder it gets
Parents preachers cops and teachers
A single voice lost in the bleachers
Just one drink might solve a problem
But leads to ten which don’t solve nothing
You can’t escape from your family
They’re all they are and all they’ll be
One of these days you’re going to see
Cause someday the mom you’ll be
Make mistakes share the laughter
Bear the pain cure disaster
Someday you will want to know
How I did it what’s the goal
But till that day I sit and cry
Look beyond stars asking why
Oh please my lord let me have love
Until you call me back above
Someone who will always care
Someone who is always there
By: Jeremy Siedlecki
First time I saw you sitting there like a nervous little angel ready to fly away
First time I talked to you I encouraged you to stay
First time I saw you smile, it made me smile too
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too
First time I held your little hand, seemed like I had a friend for life in you
First time you told me about your mom ma I felt your love for her too
First time you jumped on my back I felt the beginning of love for you
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too
First time I taught you something, you taught me something too
First time I told you have a wonderful blessed morning, you told me to have one too
First time you said good night to me, I said good night to you
Now I look into your eyes, I think I know something about love too
Oh it’s been many a years and your still that little girl I knew
You fell in love with him before I really knew, just like I fell in love with you
When you went away to school I told you, you are a precious gift from God and you said so
are you, I got them you are all grown and left me, miss my baby blues
Slow down little girl
Is this a swirl
Tell me what you are looking for
Is there something more
Slow down do not hesitate
To get that first date
Let him come to you
Tell us what you do
Slow down little angel child
Tell me why you go wild
Is this all just a test
Is our love just the best
Slow down do not stay out late
Just because he is your date
Let him know what you want
Sometimes you got to be blunt
Slow down our young lady
Do not have a baby
Is this what you are looking for
Is this boy-your more!!

remember the first time i fell to my knees and began to pray. it was a quarter till 9 on the morning
of the 23rd day in the month of may.i was in a room alone my heart pounding my hands shaking. i
turned to god and gave him my word that i would start giving and stop taking. i can say for certain
that time had become still. i took responsibility for all i had done, and i realized that this must be
love i feel.how had i gone through life without knowing how to love.then time began again and the
door opened, i stood up and put everything in the hands of the man above.i still cant remember a
single sound, it was as if i could only hear my heart speaking out i found my way to a room so
bright, and their was your mother with a smile that took away all doubt.their isnt a word to
describe what you gave me that day. all i can say is thank you for saving me with your gift of love,
and showing me how to pray.
I once rocked my daughter to sleep on my chest with this song
I repeat the words so she will know she always belong
***
Daddy, I am your little black queen
Say it loud
I am gonna walk in state serene
I am black and black is proud
Daddy, when you see under God's blue sky
Say it loud
Watch me walk with my head held high
I am black and black is proud
Daddy, I am your little black queen
Joy of your love and love of your heart
I walk unflinching in state serene
O let me sleep, and dream my part
Daddy, believe your little baby girl
Tell the crowd
I am gonna make mine a better world
No doubts allowed
Daddy, I am your little black queen
O so black and black is proud
Now let me sleep and dream serene
No noise or fear allowed
Will you hug me Mom?
Oh yes, Gracie, so so tight.
Will you tickle me Mom?

I will read you 2 books.
Please don't forget me
when I am old my Gracie.
No Mom, when you are little and I
am big I will brush your hair.
Thank you Gracie girl.
When I held her little body in my arms
And she looked me in the face and smiled
It made me feel right at home
It made me wonder if this is where angels roam
Her tiny hands gripping my pinky as she’s being fed
I whisper little things in her tiny ears
I hope she understands what I said
It’s so much that’s going wrong
I want to shield her virgin eyes so she can’t see
I want to protect her from the world
I want her to be better than me
But I don’t have a watch for time doesn’t belong to me
I hope I’m in that heart of hers because she’s in this heart of mine
I hope she learns to see what has everyone blind

Where
art thou, for I long for thee,
Simply just love, you and me,
Have you gone without a care,
And left me to sit, and wonder,
Where,
Are you, for me you use to shine
So bright,Nothng else mattered,
Cause we were so right,
Where,
Shall I sit, forever
And wait for thee? my queen,
Deeply in love, very few know
what I mean.
So until you need me again
I guess this is..
THE END...!!!!!
I like it when you play music
It means I can stretch my legs
Chill out to the latest sound
And if its just me and you Mummy
At least we are spared the spectacle
That is my daddy, dancing around
I get four square meals a day
And as for eating chocolate
Well, i am not one to make a fuss
But it's getting quite a squeese in here
Pretty soon one of us had better go
This tum ain't big enough for the both of us..
Have a little thought for me Mummy
Don't over do it
There are two of us in this situation
Please play by the birthing book
Feed, water and talk to your bump
And your tum a little consideration
My daughter thoughts, I presume in the womb..
You have always been there.....
When i have needed you...
Listened Laughed, and comforted me
In times of uncertainty....
You brighten my days that seem so dark..
Erased the pain of my broken heart.
You helped me say good-bye...
TO all the bad things in my life...
You are my friend when i seemed to have none..
You gave me strength when i was scared,
Standing beside me,you were there.
You wiped my tears when i was sad,
All along holding my hand.
You are my mother
A gift from god ,guardian angel from the heavens above.
