Why We Celebrate Easter

When we think of Easter
What really comes to mind?
Do we even think of Jesus
Or colored eggs to hide and find.

Easter is so much more
Then dying eggs and eating ham
This day is solely about
The crucifixion and resurrection of the lamb

It’s ok to eat your chocolates
And it’s fine to buy that new dress
Just remember this is about joy and promise
Not who tries to look the best

Over 2000 years ago Jesus was crucified
By having his wrists and feet nailed to a cross
He was then laid to rest in a tomb for 3 days
Only to be resurrected by the big boss

God proved to us then
How much he loved and cared for us
By giving his only begotten son
Which should’ve been enough to gain our trust

Now we have the choice to live eternally
Because Jesus died for our sins
When we confess with our mouth and believe in our hearts
Our brand new lives can begin

Good Friday represents the crucifixion
And Easter Sunday represents the resurrection
So we should be very thankful to the father and son
And strive daily for their perfection

So when you’re eating that ham, dying eggs
And buying chocolates for your little one
Just remember to tell the children
That we celebrate Easter in honor of God’s son.


Happy Easter!

Me, You, & Us

I would like to be your best friend
And not only your wife
I want to look you in the eyes
And tell you some things about my life

There are things I have inside of me
That I want to relay to you
Things that I need to let out
How I can begin to tell you, I have no clue

I want to break through some barriers
And get some things off my chest
I need to be able to confide in you
Just so I can put my heart and mind at rest

I want you to know about my feelings
With your two babies growing inside of me
Just the thought scares me to death
But that, I’m sure you can see

I love you more than I can ever explain
And now I’m so afraid of loosing you
I know I can't do this alone
This is overwhelming to go through

Me making it alone with 1 child
Is something I'm not afraid to do
But with 3 for me to care for
I wouldn't want to raise them without you

I just want for our family
To be strong and close-knit
To stick together no matter what
And know that we're going to make it

I love the idea of having your children
I will not let fear run my life
I wonder if you pictured any of this
The day you made me your wife

It's Not Too Late

As the days roll by
Do you ever stop to think
With all the things that's happening
You could loose your life in a blink

I admit the thought is a bit disturbing
But it's also very true
If your life was taken today
Honestly, what could you do?

It would be too late to change your ways
Too late to ask him to be your savior
Too late to apologize
For your constant bad behavior

So the right thing to do
Is to make time for him today
Ask him into your life
And ask him to show you the way

There will always be trouble
Storms will constantly come and go
But with God on your side, right in the midst
He can show you a glimpse of the rainbow.

He'll teach you that when troubles arise
To just lay them down before him
He’ll carry your burdens
And wipe away your tears

Make him the head of your life
Consider him in everything that you do
And in every decision that you make
He’ll always get you through.

Forget Me Not

If I leave this place
Before you're ready for me to go
Remember my smile
How it glowed like a rainbow

Remember my heart
The way I loved hard and strong
I loved each and every one of you
Even though I felt I didn't belong

Remember my faith
I'll be in very good hands
I always went to God
Throughout life's tough demands

Remember my laugh
I should have laughed everyday
Know that it heals the soul
And keeps the sadness away

Remember my tears
Oh, I cried a great deal
Whether happy or sad
Very emotional I would often feel

Remember my intuition
When no one else had a clue
Somehow I would often feel things
But didn't always know who

Remember my voice
Very quiet and polite
Now just imagine me saying
That I'm gonna be alright

And to my husband and children
That I thoughtlessly left behind
Keep your memory of me happy
And tucked away in the back of your mind

Bring me out when you need me
So my memory can comfort you
And if all else fails
Just remember that I love you!

No One Else Knows-But Me

No one else can love you like I can
Or ever know you better than I do
Not even your father that’s always been there
Or the mother that gave birth to you

No one else can really tell if you’re hurting
Or know exactly when to say I love you
They don’t know how you feel inside 
No, not the way that I do

How can they possibly know what you need
If your feelings, you constantly hide
Only I know why you went into the bathroom
This morning and sat down and cried

No one else was there to wipe the tears away
I didn’t mind doing that for you
No one was there to tell you that everything would be ok
But, I gave you 
the encouragement to make it through

No one else knows, how beautiful you really are
Just by looking at you from afar
They can’t see your heart, soul, and spirit
But I see that you are a shining star

No one else knows that sometimes all it takes
Is for someone to hug you really tight
They don’t understand the power that’s in a hug
Or the importance of hugging with all their might

See, I can do allot of things for you
But undone one task must remain
Because even though I have the ability to hug
Hugging myself is just not the same!

I'M Going Home

When sickness fell upon me
God carefully took me in his arms
He told me that his love
Was greater than any good luck charm
He said it was time to return home
To continue our walk on golden sand
I'm here to bring you peace
There will be no more chaos in my land
He took my hand in his
While leading me toward a bright light
But God, what about my children?
Don't worry, I'll see to it that they're alright
They know you're now at peace
No more worry, No more pain
Today's forecast for you
Is forever more sunny, with no chance of rain
They will deal with their grief through me
And I'll slowly wipe away the pain
  The imprint that your love made
On their hearts and minds will remain
They will find comfort in your memory 
And in the souls feel the warmth of your love
It's now time that they set you free
Like a beautiful, care free dove
Children. I know you don't understand 
But one day I will reveal to you 
Why this terrible loss and pain
I allowed you to go through
But until that day comes
It will surely be nice
To know in your heart, that even though she fell asleep on our side
She'll awake in paradise.

Never Thought It Would Happen To Me

I loved you with all my heart
And then you went and tore it apart.

At that time I felt that I couldn't live without you
Wondering why, your actions... you didn't think through.

Granted, I kicked you out without hearing your side
But I was hurting so much; I didn't care if you died.

I had a lot of bad thoughts, I am ashamed to admit
There were even a few crimes that I wanted to commit.

But lucky for you I was mature enough to know better
So all my feelings I decided to put into a letter.

I didn't understand how you could cheat on me
And the clues and hints, I was too blind to see.

I never thought I had a problem keeping you satisfied
But never guessed it was her who had your nose open wide.

Honestly with our history, the cheating didn't surprise me
But you did it, out in the open, for everyone to see.

I understand that 9 years is a long time to be with one person
Especially because we were both inexperienced virgins.

But never did I think that you would allow for me to discover
I guess it never occurred to you, to keep it undercover.

What you did, I could not tolerate
But you, my heart, wouldn't allow for me to hate.

For the sake of my child, I had to learn to hide the pain
So at work and in public, from crying, I had to refrain.

This was the first time in my life, that I've ever been alone.
But with God's help, I knew I could make it on my own.

So with my new found experience I began to see
That no man on earth could ever define me.

Dad

Today is your special day
To do whatever you choose to do
But please never forget
That I will always love you

You are the father that most children
Could only wish that they had
That’s why I'm always proud to say
That you are my dad

You’ve always been there
Whenever I've needed you
And taught me some life lessons
So that I could make it through

You taught me how to do for myself
To not depend on another
To be a strong black woman
And to be there for my sister and brother

You’ve taught me how to change a tire
And how to put on break pads
I even know how to change oil
All that just from watching my dad.

Hopefully, I'll never have to get my hands dirty
You know I'd absolutely hate that
But just knowing I can do those things
Makes me ready for combat

I do know how to stand on my own two feet
Many thanks go to you for that
Even though at times I choose not to
Because at heart, I'm still your little brat

Always rest assured knowing,
That you've done a mighty fine job with me
A strong, independent, loving daughter you've raised
And on that, I’m sure you can agree

Just take good care of yourself
Concerning your health, do what you're suppose to do
Cause I couldn't begin to imagine
Living my life without you

Have a Happy Birthday Daddy
This is my gift to you
Although this has no monetary value
My words are priceless and ever so true.

Here For You

Words cannot begin to express
How I truly feel about you
Questions of why you’re always on my mind
And yet I have no clue

Visions of you, of us
Are trapped in my dreams
I can’t let my mind rest… where you’re concerned
As though it seems

Never completely understanding
What it was that drew me to you
You had a lock on my heart
That no one else could break through

Reach out to me love
I’m here for you... more then you know
Even though those others turned their backs
I’m still in your corner … holdin you down like whoa!

I’ve come to learn
To never trust any one man
Cause when you need them the most
They tend to let go of your hand

Learn to encourage yourself
Others will not always be there
The best of us can become a little slack
But it doesn’t mean that we don’t care

Those feeling of anger and neglect
Being a victim of circumstance
Those thoughts of loneliness and rage
Keeps your spirit and mind in a trance

I know that physically you’re trapped
But mentally you can be free
Just try to stay focused
And at ease … your mind will soon be

I yearn to hear your voice
To put my mind and heart at ease
I need to hear that you’re ok
And that your time is passing like the breeze

Umph, just the thought of your strong hands
How I long to feel your touch
I never quite imagined
That I could miss you so much

The good and the bad
And everything we’ve been through
Even all the time that has passed
I still remain whole-heartedly here for you.

I'M Not Calling It Love

I can't get you out of my mind
Constantly wishing you were here with me
Looking deeply into my eyes
Wondering just what it is that you see

But, I'm not calling it love

Always wondering what it is that you’re doing
Never going a day without you crossing my mind
Thinking to myself, how did I ever let you get away
The time that has passed ,I wish I could rewind

But, I'm not calling it love

I can't wait to finally see you again
My heart yearns to be close to you
My body aches to be entwined with yours
And all these feelings , I have yet to construe

But, I'm not calling it love

Tell me why my yearns and urges are so strong
No matter how hard I try to suppress them
I can't lay them down and walk away
They just keep calling me back on a whim.

But , I'm not calling it love

At this point you can say that I'm at a loss
I'm not sure that I should condone these feelings
But, no one else has ever made me feel like you do
I hate that I find you so appealing.

But, I'm not calling it love

Maybe I can live with you only in my dreams
Because I swear I can feel the strength of your first and last thrust
Smelling your skin and felling your touch
Is it possible to tighten the bond between love and lust?

So, maybe it is love.

I want you to make me loose control.
I told you before I couldn't fight the feeling
I can't wait for us to get lost in each other
Maybe my cure is in sexual healing.

Nah, I'm still not calling it love.
