Affirmations For My Mother

You are a woman,

beautiful, black,

 God’s masterpiece,

 created with majestic power

                   and divinity—

The type of woman

who could never  be tamed

or possessed.

One deserving of love,

respect, and civility.

Hopeless Romantic

Loving again 
for the millionth time 
has broken you into
a million pieces,
each
and every time.

Know Your Worth

Guard your heart 

from those, 

who love you 

only for their benefit.

Those who 

value your time

only for convenience.

 

Walk away 

from those

who steal your 

precious peace. 

That of the mind 

appraises above all.

 

Never settle for less 

than your due,

that will diminish 

your view 

of your intrinsic value…

never ending 

in appreciation.

They know your worth; 

play no fool.

 

You are the light,

the truth.

Nurtured by

the sight

of God.

 

To love yourself, 

is to propose to God

with vows

in the form of

displays of 

self-affection.

In return  

expect an infinite yes. 

 

anyone who disagrees

is to stay 

as far away 

as possible 

from your peace, 

your time,

and 

your love.

Sunflower

Although she was beautiful

her struggle never seemed to fade.

With roots as strong as hers she would always smile

even when her petals were plucked and frayed. 

Remember how her beauty glowed 

as she faced the sun with grace.

Half laughing, half crying 

somehow she bloomed from her pain.
