In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Cause she has loved me first
before anybody else
She carried me till the ninth month
so very close to heart
She breathed life into my lungs
held my hand within her palms
showed me guidance in every way
made me who I am today
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Her arms are always open
so I can curl within
For here I''m always special
without my need to win
Her soul ever a rainbow
in hues of humankind
For she carries no prejudice
amongst coloured and white
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
I know fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
Our days ,lunchbox of memories
filled with tender loving care
Past nights,eternal bookmarks
of those fingers playing gently with my hair
I know one time I 'd have to wake up
in a world of all alone
In the stars I have to find her
cause mama won`t be home
In my mother's eyes
I see my hero
Knowing fear is far at bay
In her eyes I feel protection
In her smile I see my face
“A meandering river, I flow through this life, over its many plains, as well as its low valleys and high peaks, learning and loving much along the way.” - by author
Those who know me
should know exactly who I am,
for I show my flaws as well as my strengths
in things I say or do.
I’m the product of my culture and things taught me.
I’m a wife, sister, mother, teacher and true friend,
but there is more to it than that.
I’m a daughter of God; He made me who I am.
Before my birth,
God knew me, and he knows my fate.
A meandering river, I keep on
growing and changing paths.
Ever I’m learning from new experiences.
A seeker of truth and a warrior of words,
toward the inevitable
I flow (knowing both joy and pain) back to my home.
I had always wished I could hit a magic reset button
To be able to go back in time to change the things I did wrong
There’s so many things I would have done differently
But I’ve come to a realization
Those choices have made me who I am
Strong, independent, caring and vulnerable
Who would I be if that button existed?
Would I still be me?
I’m learning that there actually is a reset button
But it’s not the kind that fixes mistakes
It fixes your state of mind
It reaches in to heal your soul
It helps you turn over a new leaf
It helps you push the toxic negativity out of your life
You learn a lesson from the mistakes of the past
You learn to let go of the pain
Only you can create this magical button
It starts by being grateful for what you have
Not mourn for what you lost
And I for one, am going to push that button
Beautiful struggle.
Struggle taught me to be bold.
It taught me not to be whom, I was the previous day
Struggle taught me to be strange and
It taught me to wise and dumb at the same time
Struggle made me who I am today.
The bigger part of me is made of struggle.
It taught me to see things I never knew.
It showed me future in a present way that's was harsh.
Struggle gave me best lessons to be better.
It showed me peace when everyone was crying.
It taught me difference between hate and love.
Struggle never left me alone.
It showed me flames but I made peace with it.
Struggle taught to praise victory no matter how small it is.
Struggle taught me that heroes are not born but made through pain.
Beautiful Struggle.
It taught me to have a very constricted mind.
Struggle and pain,are not the same in my world.
It will mould you and teach you to who you are.
Without Struggle I would never be myself again.
Happiness has no part in my diary
But Struggle is what I know best and the subject I do perfect.
I'm the Best, Beautiful Struggle.

Mature
Looking down at my hairy chest I remember back whenit was bare.
Skinny ribs that one could count and my pot belly was not there.
So proud I was that I was growing a Mans mustache in elementary school.
My hair was full and getting long blue jeans and converse shoes man did I feel
cool.
Running around on bikes with my buddy Greg chasing girls
Listening to Ray Stevens sing about Mississippi squirrels
Shooting 22s and bb guns at cans and bottles we found
Feeling strong and invincible until some bully knocked us down
Making out with my girl to air supply just letting my heart soar
Summer romance hotter than the sun memories I cherish more and more
Now my hair has migrated from the top of my head to my chest
And my rib can't be seen and my belly's a mess
My mustache connects with a beard and grey is replacing brown
I walk more than I ride I like keeping touch with the ground
Although my body has matured my mind and heart still grow
I listen more and I learn from every lesson in tow
My life was hard and full of stress but I would not trade one day
It has made me who I am and who I am is here to stay
I like who I have become not rich nor extremely wise
But smart and witty kind and caring and full of many a surprise
I continue to try and convince myself
That by keeping the pictures from my past
I'm not still holding on to a love I once knew
But tonight sitting here all alone
I took one last look but to my surprise
It wasn't love I saw looking back at me
It was just an old memory
Of the girl I used to be
All the places I'd been
And people I spent my time with
In that single moment I came to see
That I didn't have to forget my past
In order to be able to move on with my life
Still sometimes those pictures I keep hid
Can make me feel things I know I shouldn't feel
But I'm old enough now
To know none of that is real
1,000 memories with you
Forgotten photographs
It's all a part of my past
I tried so hard to fight
Only to find I never really needed to
What I felt when I was with you
Was as real as it could've ever been
But that love came and went
And we both moved on with our lives
I used to see it as such a crime
To remember you
And the way you made me feel
But now that I'm grown
I think back to that time and place
And now when I do I smile
We were young, dumb, and in love
We had so much fun
For so long we were the best of friends
I think back to the trips we took
All the new places we got to see
Driving around with your hand in mine
Even if those pictures where long gone
In my heart and in my mind
I can see it all as if it were just the other day
A time in my life I don't think I'll forget
Some things may fade away
But I doubt your memory ever will
And that's ok with me
It'll be a story to tell til the end of time
Bring a good laugh or two
Because since then I've come to find
It all made me who I am today
And when I look back on my life
I couldn't imagine not having those stories to tell
So for now all those pictures of the past
I'll tuck them all away
Wait for a rainy day
To bring them out again
To see the story they can tell
Of the girl I used to be
And laugh about all those old memories
Hidden away in old forgotten photographs!!!
I have had such difficulty touching pen to paper.
Even with my growing sadness.
Emotions reaching heights that fill my soul with despair.
A despair in which I thought has left me.
I now know it was just at rest.
Sleeping beneath the cobwebs.
Deep within waiting for a grand awakening.
I know this despair forms from watching my Mother.
I feel the pain, sense the confusion.
Her mind is going.
Her memories are all turning into shadows.
With all my star wishes.
With all the prayers I release into the air.
I know someday she will be gone.
I tell her how much I truly love her.
I hold her dear to my heart.
A tie that can never be broken.
I look into those hazel eyes.
A wondurous realization that took to long takes hold.
She is the one who made me who I am.
She did it all to make me strong.
I visit her there in those depressive rooms, sit and hold her hand.
I bring her flowers.
Watch the childlike joy.
As she touches the petals to her nose.
My eyes well with tears I try to hide.
I brush her cheek with a kiss.
I confirm, I will return.
I will continue to bring her flowers.
Although, I know she will not remember me being there.

I AM SO THANKFUL
This I say, as I pray.
Oh! Lord God I am so thankful
I am so thankful, I am so thankful
I am so thankful, I am so thankful
I am so thankful, I am so thankful
This I may seem somewhat dismayed yet I am
Oh! Lord God so thankful for you
You given me a better reality
Giving me air to breath and a whole to see
Just you and me and
I am so glad ever so thankful that you made me who I am
I am so ever happy that you have made me yours
I am so thankful for the rain
I am so thankful for everything
I am so thankful for my pains
I am so thankful for my name
Thankful for your touch
Love you so much
And
I am so thankful for those spiritual things
Thankful for my mundane grin…
Oh, and I am thank full
I’m thankful
Lord I am ever so thankful, thankful
And I I Oh I am thankful
And I am ever so glad to be alive
And I am so happy you’ve allowed Christ to die
Die and then be risen up
Thank you God for this
I am so glad ever so thankful that you made me who I am
I am so ever happy that you have made me yours
I am so thankful for the rain
I am so thankful for everything
I am so thankful for my pains
I am so thankful for my name
Thankful for your touch
Love you so much
And
I am, I am so ever so glad
Lord God I am so
I am so thankful, I am thankful

If I die tomorrow there’s some things I wish to say,
Because if I die tomorrow,
Then I only have today,
To my wife, my friend, my soulmate,
Your everything that’s pure,
Each day you give me all of you,
And the next you give me more.
You never judge or hold a grudge,
16 years we’ve never fought,
If I could pull the best bits from myself,
They’d be the ones that you have taught.
Know how much I love you,
For I’m just a simple man -
That loves you with completeness,
For it’s made me who I am,
Everyday I’ve spent with you
Has been a day above,
I’m not sure I deserve you,
Let alone deserve your love,
But said and done,
You are the one,
I fell for - with all my being,
No matter where I may end up,
It’ll be you my eyes keep seeing.
.......
And now my children,
This is tough,
Not something I’ve rehearsed,
Even just the thought of You’s,
And my heart is fit to burst,
I always wanted children,
I always wanted you,
I was blessed to have a daughter,
Then my son was gifted too,
Your growing up so quickly,
I’m so proud of who you are,
It doesn’t matter where I go,
My love is never far,
There aren’t the words to tell you both,
What you mean to me,
One day when your parents,
Maybe then you both will see,
Always do your best in life,
And always love each other,
Always know I love you both,
And watch over your mother.
........
For if I die tomorrow,
And I only have today
If my time has come,
And I’m not able to stay,
Know that I die happy,
For all you’ve given me,
Know that I die happy,
Let that thought be all you see.
