Happiness Is:
Hearing and singing my favorite songs,
Accomplishing tasks that've been planned for so long.
Spending a day with a needle or hook,
Crocheting or stitching, or reading a good book.
Creative juices abundantly flowing,
Keeping poetic endeavors fruitful and growing.
Baking chocolate chip cookies on a cold winter's day,
And sharing with friends - it's better that way.
Inner security, freedom from fear,
Nestling close to my husband, so dear.
Hugs from my sons given "just because",
Spending time with family, including in-laws.
But what makes me happiest each and every day,
Is knowing God loves me and for my sins He paid.
Each day I awaken knowing God's on His throne,
And no matter what happens, I'm never alone.

I tried to warn you
But did you listen
Tried my level best to tell the truth
and not perpetuate the lie
I told you I am not the man you
perceive or believe me to be
Come to think of it not quite sure
I ever was
Maybe once upon a time way back
when I was just a boy
That suit shoe's hat and key don't fit
And yet again don't hold your breath
honestly i don't think he is ever coming
back or where in fact he went at all
The showman here before you is not real
it's all an act that crawls back into the
shadow's when alone
To the point now it drains me and i struggle
to remember my lines or even play fulfill
the role I was born to play
It drives me round the bend and full
disclosure no I have not the will or desire
to being to mend
The crack's are ripping open laid bare
for all to see so hold on tight the end is nigh
Not long now before I am muted out
completely for the greater good
If I had anywhere else to go I would have
left long ago but that would only add to
other's woes and so too mine
And how to end this morbid tale of sorrow
But rather with what the me they and both
I wish and want to know leaving them
wanting more
With 1 or 2 witty quips surreptitious or
humorous anecdote or jokes to send
them gladly on there way happier as I
have somehow inadvertently made their day
No point in making other's feel blue as
well just because I am as that may be
one and only saving grace and gift I
haven't yet lost
And surely then only hell awaits to break my
fall because I must be then so far gone rock
bottom is as far away as heaven's locked
staircase gate
I did try to warn you from the very start
But did you listen
Come to think of it no neither so did I
I seen the very same warning signs
In fact I was indeed he who pointed
them out clear as day
But yet again i can not be told
Never take the time to listen
And choose to rather follow the blind
Just because we had an African, black, white, man elected?
but no one really wants to represent people feels like we got injustice;
Some people like it poor their minimum waged jobs;
Not many of them we can trust;
But no one really wants to represent people feel like we got injustice;
Who am I to judge you? Got no heaven nor hell for ya;
Not many of them we can trust;
You smile @ me, lie to my face;
Who am I to judge you? Got no heaven nor hell for you;
Just because we had an African, Black American, White, man elected?
While @ the same time singing " Amazing Grace"
Everybody wants to be President, Preeminent Presidential politics;
Just because we had one African, Black, White, man elected
Then you are not saved nor safe;
It's not about the bible but about the doctrine;
But no one really wants to represent the people they got injustice;
Not many of them we can trust;
No one wants to represent people feeling like no justice;
Who am I to judge you? Got no heaven or hell for you;
Some people like it rich their coffee;
You smile @ me, lie to my face;
Who am I to judge you? Got no heaven nor hell for you;
Just because we had an African, Black American White man elected;
While @ the same time singing "Amazing Grace"
Everybody wants to be President preeminent presidential politics;
So the rich corporations can get more, more, more...
Polite genocide what's wrong with a little prosperity;
Free genocide what's yours isn't yours;
What's your is mine and what mine is mine;
So the rich corporations can get more, more, more;
Free genocide what's yours isn't yours;
You smile @ me, lie to my face;
Who am I to judge you? Got no heaven nor heal for ya;
Just because we had an African, Black American White, man elected?
While @ the same time singing " Amazing Grace"
Anyone can wear a face, but not anyone can be President;
I like to write poetry because it is fun
Putting words together can be beautiful, I'd say
Describing things, such as the vibrant sun
The words tell a story in their own way
Though rhyming words can get rather rough,
words on parade within your mind
Picking the best word can be tough
Needs to Rhyme, but still be kind.
My poetry is for those who seek enlightenment
and want to make the world a better place
At times, I think my words are heaven sent
to help me bring earth to a more angelic place.
I have been blessed with many talents
writing poetry is only one
trying to find a poems perfect balance
and rhyming words just because it's fun.

You were my very best friend,
but now that you are dead.
I know that I did love you,
but I hate you now instead.
Just because I didn't pray,
the day before you died.
I blamed your death on me,
but tried my hardest not to cry.
The hate isn't hate anymore,
just a sadness from the past.
So I really do love you still,
and hope this bad feeling just wont last.
I can't believe you died,
at the age of forty-one.
I didn't know what to say
you're life had just begun.
Three years have passed now,
and this poem comes to mind.
It came from deep within my heart,
it wasn't hard to find.
Saying these words,
I look up to the sky.
I think of you,
then I begin to cry.
"I love you very much,"
I say and sadly sigh.
"I just wanted you to know-Daddy,
you're the Angel In My Eyes."

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!"
Written: July 21, 1998
"It happens just because we need to want, and to be wanted too, when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and... listen to the warm.” -Rod McKuen
You and I have always had a chemistry;
In everything we did and everything we didn't, there was
this strange synchronisation; you very well know how
our hearts start beating fast just by a glance of each other's face
and how the shine in your eyes ignites a fire inside my chest;
But don't be afraid, the fire isn't fatal my love, just my desire
for you and every inch of you, to consume you and unite with
you and all that you are, maybe more; come my escape from
everyone and everything else this earth is made up of;
You and I were meant to be one, the distant oracle can no more govern
our lives and our love; As, you are mine and I am yours, come
and listen to the warm breeze of our wants and needs and passion.

I swear to tell you the truth
Nothing but the truth
But your heart is so feeble
And your spirit so brittle
A whiff of it will make you syncope
A little tyrant I am glad you are no pope
No Ceaser not the next hope
The people would die on knees
Just because you sneezed
Who carried the wind to make me sick
Its you or you or you it can’t be the breeze
A woman without accountability
A mother killing the son
Mumbi had nine daughters
The fable was prophesy
Its a image so broken
But a reality too open
You cursed me to remain your pup
And nothing more
You just robbed the world
So that you can see me rot
In a cold room
Dying of pneumonia and spiritual clots
You want to be right so bad
That I rather die
Than you see me smile
For a thought that is truly original
And If you are reading this
I really understand the criticism
Just wake up and leave
Grown ass man sitting and *****ing
But you need to freeze in my coffer
Watch your life thaw away and go
While you remain in situ like a statue
Maybe I go lick someones behind
Until they find it amusing and pay me in chains
But ass is not the spice for me
New chains are strange and grim
Then maybe I go dig and dig my grave
But I am tied to smile at visitors
Sit when told to sit
Broken broken broken
Broken until the truth would make me scream

Regarding my heart, it'll take a lot to fix mine
Rarely do I sip wine
While you can you better live life
Before you're on a bed with an I.V. drip line
Everybody always having a pissing contest
All of you God Bless
My mom stressed
Often telling me that I'm a hot mess
Just because you would doesn't mean I have to settle for a lot less
It's an endless process
I need to work towards progress
By choice I'd rather talk less
They say my lifestyle will be
What kills me
And that I'm the one that's guilty
In a world that's corrupt and filthy
I still see
That nothing changes until we
Accept responsibility
As time ticks on
She said I did this wrong
Realize everything I smoke and sip is strong
Already accepted the fact that I may not live long
A world that struggles to reduce waste
Will it impact our doom date?
People are too strange
With a sudden mood change
Aiming toward the top of the food chain
Got nothing to lose and everything to gain
Energy separates or generates
Let this sink in and resonate
Life continually perpetuates
The cycle has yet to break
Danger always lurks with the potential to decimate
On each other lifeforms feed upon
S*** happens regardless of it being agreed upon
At the edge I continually teeter on
There are people from all walks of life who do good.
There are people from all walks of life who do bad.
We all have the potential to do what we should.
We need to get back the innocence we once had.
Just because we have the potential to harm,
Doesn’t mean that each and every one of us will.
It’s not like we have, inside our head, an alarm
That suddenly wakes up a desire to kill.
It’s not human nature to hurt because we can.
We’re all very innocent on the day we’re born.
And though some were taught hatred when their life began,
That didn’t mean that their whole future was forewarned.
We all have the ability to do what’s right
No matter what we have seen, heard, or what we’re taught.
Though evil may come in the darkness of the night,
We have the choice to ignore any evil thought.
Allow God to embrace your heart
I love everybody
All of humanity
As you read these words
You know me but I'm sure
I must encourage you, this I must do
Why? you ask because I love you
If we all were to love each other
With our eyes close, we would stumble,
Fall and drop the rose
Open you eyes grasp the steam
Embrace the hearts of your fellow man
Why do I say that I love you
It's because God has given me a choice to
Don't you realize that heaven was also on earth
And that out of our disobedience we were cursed
As you read these words
You don't know me but I'm sure
I must encourage you, this I must do
Why? you ask because I love you
There's no sensual, sexual, sinister reason though
It's not about me it's all Jesus. to learn and share agape love
Take heed share with me the free liberty, love real
Be not fake and love religiously
Be what God wants us to be, forgiving, forbearing, share and caring
Let's us not be afraid, love each other as the bible says
Do for me as I'd do for you share your knees with the floor
Pray for other, you, me and the world
Your trial is your testimony, imagine it when your done with it
You'll have the victory
So let us love our neighbor as thy self
Put on your robe, your crown of thorns and let's praise and worship Jesus
Why do I say that I love you
It's because God has given me a choice to
Don't you realize that heaven was also on earth
And that out of our disobedience we were cursed
Lastly but eternally I shall always say, that I love you
This is Jesus way
I love you for your human and you are loved
I love you for your a man, woman, boy and girl
I love you for your mind, I love you for kind
I love you for your race, no matter the color of your face
I love you for you're elderly, I love you for your wrongs
I love you for goods your bads when your happy or sad
I love you for the peace of your sweet release
I love you for you who am I to judge
I love you cause we're all just sinners, SAVED by grace
And when you're done reading this verse
Give your closest loved one a hug and a kiss
God loves you more than I, I can't judge I've no heaven nor hell to send you
I love humanity just because I SHOULD
You are not broken but chosen Be blessed
Allow God to embrace your heart
I love everybody
All of humanity
