A Prayer For My Sister

Dear Lord I come as humble as I may
Asking you to give my little sister strength
That she will need to make it thru the day.
I know the road ahead of her is going to be tuff 
give her faith in knowing that in you God she can trust

I know it’s not easy for her and she’s going thru so much
I ask that you give her guidance Lord and let her feel your 
Loving touch

I can’t begin to imagine the pain she must feel 
But when I look into my sisters eyes the hurt 
Is all to real

So Lord I come to you as humble as I may
Asking you to give my little sister strength to make 
thru the day

Daddy Why Did You Leave Me

You only know my name you don’t know my story
But you’re so quick to judge as if for the way 
I love my life you get the glory

Judging me for the choices that I make 
As if you for one have never made a mistake
Trying to make me feel like what I do doesn’t matter
And all of my dreams will eventually get shattered

You act as if you really care when in all actuality 
You were never really there

You never were around when I needed you most 
To be able to comfort me or wipe away my tears 
You were my daddy you should have been there to take away my fears

So I had to grow up by myself and learn to do things on my own 
I felt I would never have a chance in this world I felt so all alone
You see you were my hero once upon a time
I thought the world of you and I loved that daddy of mines

Until this day things remain the same and I think you’ll never ever change
But yet in still I have a glimmer of hope that someday you will see all of the pain that you have ever caused me

For leaving me to fin for myself and go through the things that I did
Some things I went through should never happen to a kid
So you see daddy all I ever wanted was for you to be there to reach out 
To me your daughter and show me that you care

But instead you choose to distance yourself you have become a perfect 
Stranger and for things you’ve done to me I have so much hidden anger
I hope one day you will see that the life I’m living I planned for me

You see daddy I’ve been through a great deal 
From being homeless to not knowing where I was
Going to get my next meal
From being beaten and touched by strangers I’ve been through so very much

And all I ever wanted was for you to be there to hold me in your arms and tell me
Princess daddy cares
But instead of the dream I had envisioned that someday you would eventually 
Come around and be the father to me that I seek and still have not found

My First Born

My heart my world my baby girl 
From the first time I held you in my arms and 
laid eyes on you, I fell so in love
You are my beautiful baby girl my blessing from above
From your gorgeous brown hair down to the depth of your complexion
You are amazing in everyway mommies bundle of perfection
You are everything I ever wanted in a child, from your bubbly
 personality to your beautiful big smile
Your smart, funny just as bright as can be
You are my first born daughter you mean the world to me
So as you progress in life and grow over time I am so very proud 
To call you a child of mine.

Strengthen Me Lord

On days like this when I feel so blue

I sit alone and I talk with you

I feel as if my strength has diminished

I have nothing else to give I'm ready to end it 

feeling broken inside at times 

I wish I could run and hide

from all the pain and everyday troubles

I just want to be happy in this life

I am trying to stay humble

Lord please guide me and give me strength 

when I feel I have no more nothing left to go on

I feel like this is the end of lifes tour

Please hold my hand and show me way

I have faith in you lord I know I will see a brighter day.

Angel of Mine

Angel of mines

You were my heart  my world my baby girl
It's still so hard for me to believe that you are gone
All I ever wanted for you was the best
To be able to see you walk, run and play
I wanted to see the woman that you would become someday
Although God had other plans he called you home
Now I sit here missing you and feeling so all alone
What I wouldn't give to see your beautiful smile
Or feel your innocent touch
You were our world Eygpt and we miss you so very much
I know that it isn't going to be easy living without you here
And all I can do is cry and my thoughts seem so unclear
At times I sit and wonder why God had to take you from us 
All to soon I had so many plans for you so many things we were going to do
I try to have peace in knowing that you are in a better place and one day again I will see your smiling face
So to you I say my child it's okay you can take God's hand he is going to walk with you to the promise land
And when it's time for the Lord to call me home just know my child that you will not be alone 
Sleep with the angels baby now you can rest I have no more worries because 
you're in the hands of the best!

R.i.p Baby girl Eygpt Shanea Johnson

Missing You

Missing You 

My eyes filled up with tears when I 
heard the news
it never occured to me how much 
we all could really lose
Still today I have a hard time 
believing that this is real
Everytime I think about you pain is 
all I can feel
So as I sit here with tears rolling 
down my face
I know that your in no more pain 
and living in God's good grace
So on the day that God called you 
home, I know that he made no 
mistake
Because God only takes the best, so 
it was time for you my brother to 
getyou some rest
We all love you and will miss you so 
very much For you were a great son, 
father, 
brother, cousin, fiance, friend and 
such...
I refuse to say goodbye but until the 
day that we meet again
Rest in heavenly peace our dear 
sweet family & friend


Written with love just for you
By your Big sis: Eleanor Bolden

God Why

Everyday that passes by I sit and wonder and ask god why?

Why did he have to take you from us so soon?

The lord replied my child do not be sad do not cry do not sit and wonder why

I took her home she needed to rest and know she is in heaven with one of the best

Her task on earth must be left undone now you must learn to stand as one

Be strong all those feelings will soon pass everything will get better at last

She has left for now but not for good this to must be understood

At the end of her day there was no more time for her to laugh, work or play

I have decided her fate she has entered heavens gates her journey has not ended it has only 

Begun we will rise again just east of the sun so until that day that I call you home 

you must remember my child that you are never alone.

Unconditional Love

“Unconditional Love”
Waiting 
Wanting, lusting
To be held,
To be respected,
To be loved 
To feel your warmth 
To feel your desire to be with me
Knowing that you feel the same way for me as I do for you
Hoping that you would fill all my desires and inner fire that burns
for you deep inside my heart I new that are love was flawless from the start
I need to be sheltered from the cold sometimes I feel as if there is nowhere for me to go 
Into your arms is were I want to be to smell your scent or feel your touch these things they mean so much.
The way that you make me feel is something I cannot explain it’s like a passionate kiss or making love in the rain. When I look into your eyes I know that you truly love me and that there is no other place you would rather be.
Without you there would be no me this should be so plain to see 
So how dare them to even try to compare, they act like they no but have no clue how much it is that I love you.

Lord Talk To Me

Lord talk to me

Sit and talk to me Lord even if it’s not for long
I have so many things I need to tell you, I’m trying to be strong

My heart is heavy now and I feel so blue
So I kneeled down to pray and have a talk with you

I want you to know how it is that I feel 
These feelings of depression are all to real
 
My mind is so cloudy at times that I just don’t know what to do 
So when I feel like I need guidance Lord I talk to you

I know that you’re listening and you know what I’m going thru
I know that you would never judge me for the things that I do

But at times all my heart feels is sadness and pain and 
 I want to end it all and make the hurt just go away

I feel like my own worst enemy and nobody seems 
to understand or tries to be a friend to me

I know Lord that quitting is not the way out
I know that you love me without a shadow of doubt

So at times when I sit and feel so blue
So tired of life that I don’t know what to do

I ask you Lord to sit and talk with me even if it’s not for long
I have so many things I need to tell you, I’m trying to be strong


Life at times can be a bit much like all the struggles, trials and tribulations and such
I feel as though my faith has diminished, I need you to give me strength
Lord and for my faith to be replenished 

I ask dear Lord that you would guide me and show me the way walk with me Lord and never let me go astray Amen

Merely In Existance

Waiting to die is not living. 
I’m merely here simply existing 
To live is to love be happy and free
To set out and conquer who I want to be

Waiting to die is not living 
I’m merely here simply existing

Life is to be lived to the fullest with no regrets
To do all the things I’ve ever dreamed of but haven’t done yet

Waiting to die is not living 
I’m merely here simply existing

Time is of the essence and we must live in the presence
So if I’m given the choice of dying or living or just simply existing

I choose life and I’m going to live it everyday as if it was my last 
Never looking back or regretful about the past

 Life… I’m ready to live it I no longer want to be here just in existence
I want to use what time in this life that I’ve been given to stop waiting to die 
And get busy living
