I love you baby, forever and a day.
I'll always be here you would say.
Up on this pedestals where I sit,
looking like a fool for believing that .
The signs were there right from the start, I
just couldn't see them because of the love in my heart.
You couldn't let go of the ghost from your past,
but hid it will behind the mask.
So many times begging crying down on my knees,
open your eyes, see me please baby please.
No matter what we argued about,
I loved you still without a doubt.
I can give credit where credit is due,
for the best actors award that titles for you.
You played the role and played it well,
but now that it's over you can go to hell.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Feelings were hurt and my heart was crushed.
We are watching TV news indicating catastrophes, people
discriminating and being prejudiced against others while
sinning, doing bad things, telling lies and environmental
problems created at Camp LeJeune.
Breaking rules should be in there somewhere.
Why do people write, "Letters to the Editor" anyway?
What do they want to gain from their letter? Article
might be an expression of dissatisfaction, disagreement
and doubt. They may be filled with animosity also
We could be giving credit where credit is due, being
positive, patient, loving and kind.
People have been killed or injured, affected by bad
weather, calamities and health problems. and
things that are terrifying.
We must give credit where credit is due. What you
give out is what you will receive in return. Give out
love, kindness and mercy and will receive the same
back.
Do not criticize others to build yourself up. Encourage
others to do good and better themselves. Would be
interested in reader's comments regarding this article
that I have written.

My home on native land
I stole that from a T-shirt
Gotta give credit
Where credit is due
Canada 'eh
Kanata
Iroquois for settlement or village
And here's where I slip in pillage
Pardon my digression
Subjugation segregation
And bad first impression
Gotta give credit where credit is due
I remember being proud of a beret in blue

We’ll have you ever wondered why they
give Columbus the credit for finding
North America when he never set a foot
on the promise land, no it was the Vikings
that came here first and we have proof
after finding their settlements we now
know it pre-dates any other civilization
except the Indians known to man...
So I think it's time to re-write the history
books 'cuz
Shouldn't we GIVE CREDIT WHERE
CREDIT IS DUE, don’t you know not
everything you hear or read is true
it might be what some people want you
to believe but don't be a fool, seek, research
and find the truth, no don't be a fool and
GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Columbus day should be changed to
Viking day now wouldn't you say...
Why do we permit our children to be
lied to in school especially when we
know it's not true...?
I think it's time we GAVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT IS DUE...
Now let's GIVE CREDIT WHERE
CREDIT IS DUE!
So you think you are ready for anything?
Sure? No?
Thought so
From whom do you get your talents?
Future thinker, are you not?
So how can it be from your parents lol?
Give credit where credit is due
From where are you coming from?
Not from the womb!
From heaven
Lighten up
You are ruffled
lol
Grrrr
Grrrr
Far truth
Far fetched
Really?
Has anyone ever called you an angel?
Cmon
Dedicated you to the Lord
Gee
Hmm
Yup
Case closed
Beam me up, Scotty
Haha
TASTE IT
Come & taste my delectable cuisine
That tickles your senses you know what I mean
A palatable pleasure that teases & excites
This is my doing my connoisseurs delight
One taste a smell you're already hooked
Trust me my food never gets overlooked
A bite just a nibble craving for more
Once the word is spread they'll be cues at my door
Ready steady cook or come dine with me
To impress the masses I do so easily
A clove of garlic black pepper a shake
I could impress royalty with the food that I make
A natural flair I have & I love to create
I know it's not hard for one to appreciate
Yes give credit where credit is due
Hmmm methinks I'll have fish tonight dessert apple stew
Anyways that's enough of my idle boast
Salmon pate seems nice I'll have mine on toast
I actually have a gift with the rhyming thing to
Come try my coq au vin delve into my vin da loo
From curried chicken to a tuna bake pasta
Just like Levi Roots I'm one talented black brother

What God says about you are all statements of truth,
Satan will lie on you to make you feel destitute.
Here is one statement that you can take with you
To suit your emotional and devotional needs for your life that's true:
God's opinion of you supercedes the man's opinion of you.
Satan will get into man and never give credit where credit is due
Remember God made you and what God says about you are all statements of truth.

Good character is way more important to me,
Than having good grades.
No one wants to work or be around,
Someone who is dishonest or who is an owner
Of an awful attitude.
If you are a motivated individual,
That means you are one who gives,
Their best at all times.
Yes, that counts, and indeed once
You add fairness, responsibility, generosity, and kindness,
To your vocabulary, and act on them.
The satisfactory grades will come.
Character counts; respect others,
Don’t be afraid to give credit where credit is due.
In other words, don’t be a hater ,
Even when others hate on you.
That is not what it do.
Don’t be fake; be sincere.
You will forever have friends far and near.
Character builds your confidence
And your resume’.
Please ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls,
Hold my advice dear in every way.
Work on your character everyday.
What do you think you are doing?
"Glory Hog!"
Yes I am speaking!
From me the pen,
No more ink for you.
"Repent!"
"Give credit where credit is due!"
Than I will once again kiss never-ending on paper for you.
Or?
I'm all dried up & so are you.
(Credit first due to Jesus Christ, & all those who show kindness in the reading &
comments.)
