Fortunate, favored, and blessed.
Ancestors and descendants abound,
Making you a very important person.
Inheritance and true wealth fill your life.
Love surrounds your past and your future.
You are never alone, because you truly belong.

Mother is the first very important person
On earth who real knows my importance
To her and continue praying for me daily.
Her passion and love towards me are very
Exceptional from I was born till now.
Right person to be proud of on earth is my Mother.

Whether you agree or not, I am a very important person, or if you prefer, "thing". I delight in being clean, and I am next to impossible to live without; but I don't sing.
I crack, brake, get old, and come in many styles, but I absolutely will never tell a lie. I reveal the truth but am not a prophet; although I have seen myriads of people cry.

Phone Rings
One day in my apartment
As tired as a mouse
Try to get some peace and quiet
I plug the phone out
Pick up the clothes
Wash the dishes then
Clear the bed and mop the floor
Phone rings
Get the phone and plug to wall
Lift up receiver, answer call; oh what patience
A very important person is on the line
I listen to the ring, and the phone is not plugged in
As if coming from a far distance
In the future of this time
The sixth sense awaken
And time is standing still.
William Morrissey 6/14/98 vision
My lover comes to me from dusk until dawn
You may see him on his black horse 15 hands high
Loves me very much, just as I do him, something I would never deny
Over, and over I play it my mind, all of the we times share
Very important person he is, in the town he represents
Even more I wish to be his wife, and bear him with many presents.
Reality is the truth, he has another, now I am trying to forget all our times together.

My heart was tore,
I didn’t care anymore.
That is until he found me,
For once I felt like a very important person.
I found my farmboy,
He is my pride and joy.
He would go the extra mile,
Just to see me smile.
I used to always feel really crappy.
Farmboy made my heart happy.
I finally found myself a man.
My friends; he is much better than.
So what if he is a bit taller?
I still wouldn’t trade him for a million-dollars.
He is so perfect in ever detail.
Am I living a fairy tale?
He is my Romeo.
I love him very so.
Farmboy has found more then his dream girl;
He has found his Countrygirl.
