For You, My Love
In the quiet moments, you are my song,
The place where my restless heart belongs.
Your laughter paints the sky with light,
Turning my darkest days into bright.
Every glance from you feels like spring,
A bloom, a warmth, a gentle wing.
I never knew love could feel this true,
Until the world gave me you.
Your hand in mine, the perfect fit,
A

All for you
All for You
For my daughters, the rhythm and the color of my world.
I rise before the morning light,
Chasing hours, chasing night.
Calloused hands and tired eyes—
Still, I reach to touch the skies.
Not for gold, or pride, or fame,
Not for glory, not for name.
But for two stars that light my way—
One who paints, one who sways.
To my

Just for You
My love for you didn't come by how
I felt
But it was in my heart by His impartation
Then I felt its pulsating surge overhelmn
Me
I wouldn't let go again like a delirium on high
It kept coming
I never wondered how, and never wavered
Because it was heart imparted
Then I

Not Good Enough for You
I saw the light in you, warm and wide,
But felt too small to walk beside.
You gave me love, pure and strong—
But deep inside, I feared I’d do you wrong.
You dreamed of futures, of holding tight,
But I saw shadows in my sight.
Not because I didn’t care—
But because I knew I wouldn’t be fair.
You deserve someone steady,

Today my heart races for you
Your flesh was never warmer than my passion, a flame more intense than you could ever bear. My love for writing poetry is my secret weapon.
While I may not claim to be gifted
My identity is Black, and words have always motivated me. I can string them together easily, but making them meaningful? That’s

For You
For You
A flame that’s buried deep
I did not know if it was lost or died
but when I think of you that flame
swells into life, my genie is released.
It may consume the better part of me
but I will blaze till ashes fill my mouth
however brief the fire and its light
I’ll give all you

Wanting for You
I'll play your songs then play some more
Until I see you at my door
I'll ask if you would please come in
Then do something I know I can
I'll have you climb into my chair
And once I see you settled there
In front of you, before your eyes
A brand new song I'll then devise
From scratch, no inkling

Like David, I Dance Undignified For You God
I will dance before You, O Lord,
Not with the steps of men,
But with the fire of the Spirit burning in my bones.
I will move without rhythm,
I will leap without pattern,
For my praise is not for show
It is for You alone, my God and King.
I will dance as one set free,
As one who remembers the pit

This love for you is elemental
I feel you crackling in the sky tonight
There's no need to shout— your words are louder than mine
We're tethered, not by bolts, or voltage, but this lightning's light
Current that hums through concrete where our fields align
With ruthless brilliance, the likes of which my life has never before witnessed
I am the rain that finds you drop

For you
Father I am always
Praying for you
Every single night
I never miss a night
That I just don't pray
For you my Father
And in my prayer
I ask you to remove
The stress
That I am having
Every single day
Father I just have a hard time
Coping with my stress
Father
Can you teach me
How to cope with my stress
Because I would love
To be able to

Today I made a wish for you
Inspired by love, light, wishes.
Today I made a wish for you
By Michelle Morris

Today I made a wish for you
A wish that all your dreams come true
That stars shine brighter in the night
Reminding you of your inner light
That angels surround you night and day
God's blessings to shower as you pray
That you'll

For You, My Son, I'll Wait
A crown of thorns it had to be
He cried out in anguish from that tree
No one would listen, no one cared
Then John said brother please be still
Your Father in heaven for you awaits
You mean the world and more to Him
God said for You, My Son, I'll wait

Good enough for you
I'm too quiet
I talk too much
I'm too involved
I'm way too out of touch
I'm too messy
I care too much about things being clean
I'm too kind
I'm way too f*ckin mean
I'm too close
I'm too far away
I went to bed too early
I stayed up too late
I'm too skinny
