Tinker Bell dwells well in my mind,
Helping me find the words to use,
Endearing enough to help choose
Radiant qualities that blind.
Alluring my mind from behind,
Charm is in the arms of my muse,
Handing me lines I can not lose,
Engaging enough to be kind.
Lyrical miracles flow free,
Qualified to be the unique,
Uncommon qualities we see.
Incredible enough to speak
Notably of? Enough for me!
Noticeable enough to seek!
Hold me tight
Stay by my side
Or one day I will
Fall in the fire
Handcuff me to you
Love me forever
Keep me by you
Or I will slip in the shadows
Keep me close
Never let me go
Stay in eyes sight
Or I will die in the light
Believe it or
not.
Me accomplishing my
goals will never
stop.
Me doing my best will
help me through any
quest.
Me saying no to failure
will help me ease under
pressure. Me
saying yes to
knowledge will help me
thrive beyond
college. Me being a
christian will help me
make the best
decision. Me
believing in God will
never be a
fraud.
Me saying no to not
will help me get over
the
top.
Believe it or not
I did not head your call today.
I listened to what others say.
I failed to hear your still small plea
Oh,Lord Have mercy on me.
I didn't call to check on dad.
I ignored the feeling that I had.
caring about no one you see.
Oh,Lord have mercy on me.
I got a call from Nurse FLo.
I started crying when she let me know.
dad had been calling for me to see.
Oh,Lord have mercy on me.
Please oh,Lord forgive me now.
and help me make things right somehow
Help me to get back to the
Oh,Lord have mercy on me
i stand
and plan
because of you
you got me thur
stood by my side
gave me smooth ride
these no lies
you are my staff
my
OTHER HALF
The love you gave me like golden sunshine;
You kept me safe and taught me ways divine,
My rock when only darkness felt like mine
I pray my hand is still held within thine.
Those days, beloved, when I feel all alone
My eyes can’t see; inside my heart it’s known
You have not left me to be on my own
Yet still I wish to hear you on the phone
And while you lie in omnificent grace
I feel a wayward tear touching my face
Beloved I long to reach out for your hand
Once more beside me where e’er I stand
But I must journey on at life’s command
Until we meet again in the Summerland
Dedicated to my Nan ***
I escaped the narrow lives of solitude
to taste the wine of your love.
You showered on me your contagious charm .
I am enslaved with your thoughts .
I wish there was ONE place in the globe
where lovers could built those beautiful hopes .
If death knocks me out before the blissful kiss
just walk into the graveyard
and there you will find your red fiery
dazzling even in the twilight
I hope you like this one :-)
Just as the clay is in the potter's hand
I'm a made vessel in God's own hand
Just as he makes each vessel out of sand
So God made me from the dusty land
Just as he breaks the cup, and makes a jar
If it pleases Him, then why keep me?
Make me a vessel unto honour
Make me a vessel made of fine gold
That I might be fit for thy own use
Or break me again, still I suit you.
I never thought
it will ever be without you mama...
I couldn't imagine
nor dream..
when I call you,
you wont answer,
until now that my tears
let me know I will go on without you mama..
it was nice with you,
as you tried to make me a clue,
and now it shocked me on the crew,
in the world without you mama...
when I look at your picture
sadly smile my unhappy gesture
i think of going round
weather I will ever see your smile
that will cure....
but wouldn't be,
without you mama
who else will I show
when I win to grow,
after all I dream you
as dream t me,
and now isn't so,
a gift without you mama...
I will pray for you,
to rest in perfect peace
hoping we will meet at the garden...
rest in peace mama...
u told me to sing for the moment
u told me to lose myself
i say bring on the opponent
its my time to prove myself
haters can try and quiet me
but i wont go down quietly
im tryna build my dynasty
and thank u cuz ur the one who inspires me
social workers askin bout my fam
if i wanna be closer to them a gen
they never gave out a hand
so my walls coverd in posters of eminem
when you went away
left wonderin if u would be back
every day i thank god
that you relapsed
let them continue to show doubt
i dont fold out
i play my hand
cuz thats just the way i am
You’re gone now but I am forever proud
I go to your grave and speak out loud
I say I love you and I know you hear
The kind of man you were I will always revere
You set an example of right from wrong
I remember you all the time even when I write this song
From when I was young to when I grew older
You were there to help me brush my problems off my shoulder
Learn love laugh in life you immersed
Be strong with pride and put family first
You showed me how to strive to be my best right from the start
Live life well and follow my heart
I’ll miss you forever and let my soul be free
But always know that a piece of you resides within me
You were there for me in every way
The best dad there was so Happy Fathers day
Thought I made a clean get away
But it’s still chasing me to this day
You promised me, that you could change
Your shell the same, but your heart is strange
If you change will I be different too?
Will I be better, shiner, be brand new?
We live in a world full of distrust
Silences and lies are almost a must
How long do you think this will last?
You once were different not so far in the past
You followed me all around to here
Nothing kept you away, not even fear
You admit that you are a lie
The devil in you does not just die
It screams inside you, full of rage
How long before it breaks out its cage?
Dear Father, please forgive me for the things I did and didn’t do-
And for only showing in fragments how much I loved you.
You were kind and gentle, but I mistook it for weakness.
To my detriment, I denied myself the depths of your sweetness.
I believed that I was the rock and that you were the sand-
But in my weakest moments, you still held out your hand.
There was strength in your silence when things would go wrong.
And, you kindly let me come back to where I began and belonged.
Though my gratitude was fleeting, you held your head high.
When I was a burden, you’d simply quietly sigh.
You only judged me a little when I made my mistakes,
And you’d turn the other cheek when I’d yell in your face.
You helped me raise my daughter and get my degree.
You put a roof over our heads for nearly free.
You kept your heart open and gave us a home,
Only to die in the street all alone.
I was helping you too is what I would boast,
But it was you who gave and loved the most.
Now, you’ve passed, and it still makes me so sad….
Only a memory----my hero, my Dad.
In Loving Memory to my Dad (4/8/38-8/3/03)
Remember Me
Remember me with shinning eyes
Heart as big as a ocean mile.
Remember me with a loving heart
To keep you wrapped forever in.
Remember me when lights are out
To scared to scream to scared to shout.
Remember me when crying starts
I'll wrap you in my loving arms.
To hold you till the crying stops
And you fall to peace and quiet.
Remember me when laughter comes
when something so funny
you just can't stop.
Remember me when doubt returns
and you need a friend
where else to turn
Remember me
I'm here to comfort you
Remember Me...
TO ALL MY LOVED ONES I AM IN A BETTER PLACE SO PLEASE DO NOT CRY FOR ME.
I AM WRAPPED UP IN THE HEAVENLY SKIES AND IN THE MASTER'S WARM EMBRACE.
YOU MUST ALLOW ME TO SPREAD MY WINGS AND BE FREE.
EACH CHAPTER OF MY LIFE CONTAINED JOY AND PAIN WITH SWEETNESS AND SOURNESS.
IT ADDED TO THE SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS, MONTHS AND YEARS.
THEY WERE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS AND SOME TEARS.
MY PETALS ARE FALLING ALL OVER JUST LIKE A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER.
I AM WALKING AMONG THE RAINBOWS, THE MOONLIGHT AND THE SUNSHINE.
I WILL REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS AND I WILL KEEP YOU WITH ME.
BUT I MUST GO AND CLAIM MY PLACE IN THE EYES OF THE MASTER.
I MUST GO CLAIM MY CROWN AND MY REWARD SO I CAN ENJOY THE FRUITS OF MY LABOR.
YOU MUST LET ME GO BUT DON'T WORRY WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN IN ABOUT 2 HRS.
SO IT IS NOT GOODBYE BUT IT IS I WILL SEE YOU SOON.
IN THE HEAVENS WITH THE ANGELS ON TOP OF THE MOON.
