Why Stay

I don't know why you stay
What makes you so afraid
The look is on your face
The bruse's tuked away
Every time you stay
The silent tear's you cry
They never seem to dry
Is just not right 
Love is not surpose to hurt
And make you cry 
Why must you close your eye's
To what is making you cry
And hurt inside 
Why is your love so blind
You only see the love and not
What is hurting you is killing you inside
I don't know why you stay 
And stand by a love that make's
You cry 
And only hurting you and those
Around you 
I don't know why you stay

A Letter To My Granddaughter

When daddy brought you home all eyes were on you
As I held you tight to my heart as you rap your 
Little finger around mine and smile was all I can do
As the years go bye every night I drop to my knees
And pray to the lord to keep you safe 
Not a day goes bye that I don’t miss my angle face
Sweet voice calling out the name you choice for me
How you would always say your so silly 
How you eat and run not gain a pound 
The bed time story 
The wake me up to make you break feast
Each morning and ask to help cook 
Bye my side 
Our when you hide one of your toys 
That I come across when you go back home
The way you wrinkle your nose when asked 
A question you don’t know 
How you pose for each picture with your hands
At your sides and a smile 
How we point at our eyes to say I 
Tap our hearts as to say love
Point to you and I as to say you
I love you 
The birthdays come and go so fast 
The hugs come and go 
But in my heart I keep each visit 
And the kisses until I open the door
To see you run into me with loving arms around me
I miss you too

Eyes Closed

When my eyes close for the last time
I hope to have touched so many in my 
Life time on my journey of life 
Those I meet and left behind 
With my smile and loving heart 
That never discriminated 
And hated in justice felt from the heart 
When love it was from deep with in 
Protected with faith those loved  
And held closes to my heart 
Never hated but forgave those who 
Try to keep me down and kill my faith 
To those who shed a tear for me 
I hope to wipe dry with my love not gone 
For my loving heart lives on with in each 
And every one who knew me as big as my height 
I will be with you in heart and spirit 
For you will keep alive every time you think of me 
Remember the good memories
Relive them when you feel sad that I am gone 
For I will be in a better place at rest 
Waiting to reunite with each and every one 
Much love always

Self

being me not self centered 
Caring and kind hoping to find 
The best there is in human kind
Trying not to be judgmental 
At the same time be conversational
Trying to see both sides as a one 
Often conceded as soft hearted 
Taken to the heart 
Often known for a few tear jerker’s 
Funny humors to the core 
Less often a bore 
Love to have around 
To brake a frown
Always willing to lend a hand
Love giving not receiving 
Patience in life’s everyday situations 
Great listener ready to give good feed back
A survivor not a fighter 
A forgiver not a forgetter 
Strong minded protective when it comes 
To the ones I love 
To sum it all up I am just me myself and I 
I love being my self

I Am Not Me

Gray sky’s warm tear drops sad heart 


Why do I cry on sight of a blue moon?


There are no flowers to soon to bloom


When is the sun going to shine? 


 Cloudy days bring rain to my
face 


No ray of hope to bring me out of my depression 


My sad eyes no longer smile can’t walk a mile 


As fast as I use too weak to run away 


Must face the noise in my head the tear drops 


Cloud my vision the sadness much too deep


To find myself to profound are the scares that I wear 


And the pain I can’t not bare to see myself in despair


Broken not ready to be spoken and fix 


What’s inside my head the scares have not heal


What I feel is lonely and sad who can I turn to 


Who can I trust to pick me up when I stumble and fall?


When those I trusted let me down believing all is fine


I wear the scares black and blue all up and down my arms


On a bad day silent tears comfort me 


I am a mire reflection of myself no longer fiscally strong


A reflection of past memories a stronger me happier days


One day at a time fills my days sadness concludes my nights 


Worry and despair takes my sleep weakness takes my energy 


Aim fading like in eraser used on a sheet of paper 


Where is my resolution my conclusion to my dilemma? 


Some might say feeling sorry for my self is too easy 


Not use to easy nothing came or comes easy in my life 


Still I manage to pick myself up not completely healed


  A mirror of scares reflection
of past times 


Fighting to get back what under the knife took from me 


Impossible time to move on easy said than done 


Half the person I use to be looks back at me where can I go   


When the black clouds fallow me trying to claim


Victory pill popping white coat visits 


Stress burning a hole in my head half the person I use to be 


A mere reflection looking back at me 


Where did I go that early December Morning? 


Love ones wait hours gone by to awake not the same 


But half the person I use to be no passion lights gone dim 


Still fighting to get back to myself and I separated 


By health related issues to deep to come back from

My Sister

hay sister i feel your pain
far away as iam
i feel your tears threw the years
ill always be here and there
for you
what ever you do
don't lose hope
hang on to the rope
he will pull you out
no need to shout 
he hears your cry
they reach the sky
when it rain's it pour's
but there is alway's the door
to the lord
to keep us dry
to keep us safe
to give us love
to give us hope
hay sister your not alone
he is there to help you 
get therw the storm

Boys To Men

Photograph hanging on my wall of memories 
Keeping you young safe from a world moving 
To fast 
Boys grow into men not in my heart of hearts
You still remain boys were my arms kept you safe
Now my prayers protect you my faith follows you 
A mother s love goes with you 
I pray that my love follows you in every thing 
You do remember to do unto others as you would
Like to be done unto you  
Respect to get respect when faced with adversity 
Turn the other cheek 
When worst come to worst walk away 
Remember my love and god  to see you threw all 
The bad walk in faith in all you do  
Humble your self for pride destroys the strongest of men
Put love first for hate will incarcerate your soul
Work hard for all you do for nothing is hand it to you
Lead with good examples and good values 
For the young look up to us to do what’s right 
Remember these things that comes from the heart
As you walk into manhood a good man honors 
God first and respects his mother and father 
As you boys turned into men before my eyes 
I have to say you are the best no matter what 
you will always be my boys 
Keeping the peace in your life 
Near our far I am here and there 
Moms love is every were you are

Do You Remember When

Yelling out the windows 
Playing out side kick the can hide and seek  tag your it 
Jump rope TV black and white   shows family time 
Boom box radios cassette players taking a pencil
To roll up the cassette so it can play right
Every corner bodega potato chips ten cents 
Penny candy playing out side till the street lights 
Got dim and haul ass on home 
Street pay phones ten cents to a quarter 
When talking back was slap and a belt was 
Your respect giving back not 911 involved
Sitting around the kitchen table talking about your day 
Going dancing in the clubs and disco skating was a 
Pass the time barbecues at a friends house parties 
Music was used to get a girl our a boy 
Brake dancing on card board boxes  in the park 
Block parties on the streets domino players chafer beer 
Black out summer Nabors would look out for each other
When meeting someone was face to face not face book 
When braking up was hard to do not via text 
When calling home was payphones not cell phones 
When playing games were fun out doors not in doors
When family get together were fun not fights

Paper Boat

put in paper and let it sail into the ocean and open sea
see how your troubles drift free feel your emotions entangling
drowning in sorrow will only deepen the blow and the harder to surfs
its hard to see when it is pitch black deeper to a emerge dry standing
on ones own to feet balance UN steady not at all ready for the wind blows 
and the moon glows on a clear blue sea wide high as the waves flow 
drifting sand taking me away as i lay blind sided by the waves current motion
putting myself as this paper still intact not yet braking apart floating 
day by day i say may the moon and the sun guide my way to a better place 
were i dont have to race with a straight face the clouds are forming and the rain is about to fall 
so i put up the walls to keep out the stress that invades my space full of gray sparkling rays 
racing up and down my spine giving me mix vibes saying bye to the paper years of tears 
full of fear of the storm forming it self into a massive hurricane ready to swim and not sink 
in a blink of in eye the ink will dry the paper will brake taking all negativity leaving posterity between me myself i so i swim as of not to drown drinking a string of broken emotions letting it flow away from me cleansing my soul free so i can get back and land on my own two feet drifting all odds in my high and lows i will still grow old to see the spread of the sea weed among crystal clear ocean

My Cell Text Car

I am standing here screaming from the top 
Of my lungs why don’t you see me
What’s wrong with you people 
Hello I am in your face 
Is this a joke gone wrong 
The last thing I remember 
My cell text car 
Then lights out pitch black
Then back on again 
I was behind the wheel 
Back flash on my way home
I here my text ring I answer 
It only took three letters to lose
Control 
I here a loud voice don’t text and drive
To little to late 
I should of listen 
My cell text car 
Like so many I have taken a life 
It could have been prevented 
If I only did what the billboard 
A head of me said 
don’t text and drive 
My cell text car  
I took the text and failed 
Now I am here more dead then alive 
My cell text car
