I Truly Come From a Rare Breed

I TRULY COME FROM “ A RARE BREED “
I am a woman who can follow, but I normally choose to lead. For I am a phenomenal woman, Yesss indeed, I am a Rare Breed. I wear many Hats and can be whatever it is you want or need me to be. Never invisible, deliberate in all I do, in the open for all eyes to see! I can be your Greatest Lover, or we can be the best-est of friends. But screw me over and I can be your worst nightmare till the bitter end. I am a woman that can encourage you and sweep you off your feet. But I can also be that woman that will cut you while you sleep. I am that Diva with a smile, women seem to envy, while others just plain hate. Cause I can get “Turn-t Up”, have fun, and still be the lady who leaves with your Date! I'm that soothing voice you hear when you come home after a long day all stressed.  With a hot bath, ready to rub you down, curl your toes, roll you over and let you rest. If you get sick? I’ll nurse you back to health with some nice old fashion Chicken Soup. Serve ya Tea with honey, Rub Vicks on your chest, and handle the house all while you Re-coup. I have no problem allowing a Man to be a Man, but this “All Men” must 1st Understand… A needy woman I am Not! I just desire the comforts of a Real Man. A man with a TRUE LIFE PLAN. At times you’ll hear me Cussin, Fussin, R e a d i n g Folk and even throwing Fits. Yet I still handle my Bizz! …. Cuzz Baby??? I am A L L L that and Bowl of GRITS! But the rest of the times, I’m Calm, Patient and generally very Sweet. Always Grateful for God and Family, cause with them I know I Can’t be Beat!

Haters - Get a Life

HATERS – GET A LIFE!
                         HATERS – GET A LIFE!
Haters, Haters, Haters!…Just can’t be positive just waiting to see me fall.
When you need to mind your own life and getting that on the ball.

Your discontent for your own life is projected in the joy you get in being Sarcastic.
Hiding negativity you call constructive criticism, when the reality is…. You just like causing static!

Why do you drop your Lack of confidence in yourself, on others?
All the while acting like you care for them as a friend, or like a sister/brother.

Why does your LACK of SELF-ESTEEM and FAILURES seem to fully ignite,
Every time you just catch a glimpse of me your sight?

I feel sorry for people who like you, just love to Hate,
Always trying to put salt in your game, and piling bad vibes on your plate!

It’s sad you know, It must really SUCK being you!
Finding ways of compounding peoples pains thru and thru!

Heck, YOU must HATE being and feeling sooo distressed.
Having to lie to yourself that you are so much better than the rest!

Your just a malicious, bitter, weak minded, and sad individual,
But no worry, hearing your kind speak, Trust Me is not unusual.

So believe me, I know that when I am happy? I can see you coming a mile away.
Watching you as you get closer just pondering what mean things to say.

I have learned a lesson from you however, that has given me new insight.
And the lesson is... 
If I see you coming I know I must be doing something right!

Honestly though? 
I pray one day you clean your own house from obvious stress and strife.

Cause I NEVER allow you to take God’s Joy from me. So HATERS - Get a Life!

You Wish You Were Me

Why is my name and Life experiences always on your Lips?
Are you using me as a guide in life? Or just giving out Tips?

I'm consistently hearing my name in all your conversations.
But always hearing you deliver it with such Negative Connotations.

And the stories you tell of me, are often "Not True".
Does my life in some way seem to bother you?

If so, then why does every morning start with you on my phone?
"Whatcha Doin?", "Where Ya Goin?", like my day sets your Tone.

Look....PLEASE Know this about me.....
Quite Frankly? I really "Don't Care" what other people think,
Even though your devious interpretations really do Stink!
See....those close to me will "Never believe" a word you say,
And those that do, AND YOU, well, Can Kiss my Ass anyway.
Yes, it's true! My Life's experiences are many! Both Good and Bad.
But the fact that your always telling it? Thats the thing that's Sad.
Cause it means you have "NO LIFE" and feel the need to degrade others.
I bet most people don't even like you, huh? Not even your Mother.
My guess is, your that last Dead branch on the Families Tree, 
So go find your Own experiences, cause I totally get why....
You "WISH YOU WERE ME"

I Started My Day This Way

As the morning light arose on this beautiful day,
I could not stay, in bed and play, but instead?? 
I rose and Prayed to God This way:

My Glorious Heavenly Father:

I Thank you for the first conscious breathe I took,
And the eyes that I gently opened to see and look.

For the ears that are used to help me hear, 
And for your promising word that keeps my head clear.

I Thank you for the wisdom that denies me from being dumb, 
also the lessons I've learned and blessings from it yet to come.

Oh Lord, Thanks for the awesome and overwhelming love in my heart,
that allows me to feel like you've given me each day a brand new start.

Thank you father for your endless Mercy and undeserving Grace,
And most definitely for your son Jesus, who died in my place.

May you continue to guide my steps in your WILL, not my own,
For it was my will that kept me in trouble, confused, lost and alone.

May you continue to watch over those I Love. And for those I dislike please lend
Your spirit of forgiveness in ME, ...In JESUS NAME I PRAY ....AMEN

Why Cant I Get You To See

Why can’t I get you to see, that you complete me! 
And mean everything in the world to me?

Why is it so hard for you to simply discern,
that you my love will always be my first and my primary concern?

Why do you choose to constantly keep me at Bay? 
When you know that in your heart, is where I wish to stay?

Why is it your missing the gifts you have in me? 
And that God has sent me for you to see and be set Free?

When God created Man, wasn't it also in God's plan, 
to be the strength by your side, lift you up when you alone can't stand?

Why do you turn away my help, every time I try to assist? 
Instead you prefer using the word “I” and not “We” and resist?

Doesn't the Bible Say: 1 Man+1 Woman = 1 Complete Soul?
So why do you prefer holding on to 2 halfs, instead of the whole?

If you would just have faith in God completing us together as One?
You wouldn't shy away, but trust me more, and not be quick to run!

May I ask? Did you not pray for Love and help in dealing with life's quests?
If so? Why then are you doubting him when he's sent me to grant your request?

Haven't you prayed long enough for A Man to really Love you thru and thru? 
Saying to God,"Lord? I've endured years of countless tears, Please send me a Love that's true.
Well his answer to that prayer manifested thru Faith, is Me! Vowing to Forever cherish and Love You.

You see, I too spent years asking that one day my soul mate would come along.
And it was my faith in him that kept me strong. 
So when I saw you for the very 1st time?? Peace fell over me as God said,      
         "With her, you'll never go wrong"

In your struggles to find that peace in one, God has seen your heart suffer and slowly start hardening like stone,
That's why he sent me to restore your faith in Real Love, Uniting two hearts and for others that caused pain, atone.

To show that you were not meant to walk the Earth Alone or to stay apart,
but together stand behind and with each other caring and sharing one heart.

In loneliness we will stay in defeat and never be complete.
But show that only joined together… This worldly life can be sweet!

So remember...When you hurt? I too share that Hurt.
And if your upset? Like the batter and the coach? I too am kicking dirt!

Baby, in my heart I just simply need you to know...
That I am here for you! To protect and soften any blows!

But for now I stay patient awaiting you to one day Believe me and see
That God knew exactly what he was doing when he sent you to me.

Moments In Love

MOMENTS IN LOVE
 
Moments in Love 
- Are the priceless emotions unmatched by any other,                                   building to the culmination of sensitivity uncovered.
Moments in Love
- Are the butterflies you feel softly tickling the tummy,
in anticipation of that kiss that taste as sweet as honey.
Moments in Love
- Are the desires of Ones heart to be trusted and set free
without any reservation or fear of the other hurting me.
Moments in Love
- Are the chills that rise your skin from a touch right from the Start
as explosions of excitement and warmth kick start your Heart.
Moments in Love
- Are to a woman the released satisfaction of her body reserved,
For the man she's wished for as he proves to her deserved.
Moments in Love
- Is the peace a man feels as he falls asleep laying on her Breast,
And smiles as he awakes in the morning to find her on HIS chest.
Moments in Love
- Is the infatuation transformed into an undying sense of Dedication
surpassing the friend stage due to unhidden, clear, Communication.
Moments in Love
-All these good Feelings I thank God for up Above
For allowing me to enjoy with you these incredible 
                                          MOMENTS IN LOVE.....

My Fathers Day Poem

" MY FATHER'S DAY POEM FOR MY DAD "

Dad
If I could...
I would buy every seat in Dodger Stadium and tell you to pick one today for you they play, 

if it meant that you'd always be around and never ever go away.

if I could....
I would take back everything I ever did that brought you any type of pain,

if it meant spending another 30 years with you is what I'd gain.

if I could....
I would reverse every regret and bad decision you ever felt in your life you made,

if it meant you live longer and free of any problems that would cause you not to have stayed.

if I could....
I give you every nerve in my body and wouldn't even for a minute Miss them.

Even if I'd never feel a thing.....If it was to cure you? 
I'd give up my whole nervous system.

If I could.....................You know what I WILL do?           
I will go before God and tell him you're the   
best father I could have ever had,
I'd thank him for making you my hero & plead your case for heaven cuz to me?
              " You Were the Perfect Dad! "

Deliverance By Getting Past Our Feelings

DELIVERANCE BY GETTING PAST “OUR FEELINGS”
DELIVERANCE IS BEING ABLE TO PRESS PASS AND ABOVE OUR OWN PAIN OF FEELINGS.
SOMETIMES IT’S THOSE FEELINGS THAT CAN HOLD YOU FROM REACHING LIFE'S CEILINGS.

FOR SOME OF US, WE LIVE ACCORDING TO OUR FEELINGS, NEVER KNOWING THAT THERE IS MORE.
WHEN WE CAN PRESS PASS THOSE SINKING FEELINGS GOD OPENS UP WONDERS LIKE A CANDY STORE.

SO OFTEN WE FALL PREY TO OUR FEELINGS MEANT TO HOLD US BACK FROM WHAT GOD HAS FOR US.
AND EVERY TIME WE TRY TO GROW BEYOND THEM, WE RUN INTO OBSTACLES AND START TO FUSS.

WE MUST BE STABLE AND SUFFER THRU THOSE FEELINGS FOR THE GREATER IS THE BLESSING THAT AWAITS
LIKE FLOWING FLOOD WATERS, GOD RELEASES OUR BLESSINGS, BEING STEADFAST OPENS THE GATES.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE FEELINGS THAT BIND AND CONSTRICT YOUR PROGRESS,
AND DENY EVERYTHING OR EVEN THOSE WHO WOULD WANT YOU TO REGRESS.

PERSEVERANCE AND PUSHING ON PASS OUR OWN OBSTACLES MANIFESTED IN OUR FEELINGS
WILL DELIVER US INTO GODS GRACE AND SEND THE DEVIL REELING.

                                          So just for today?  
PUSH PAST YOUR FEELINGS WITH FAITH AND BE DELIVERED INTO GODS BLESSINGS THAT AWAITS YOU.

The Friend That Makes Me Smile

Inspired by my BFF, Ms.Tee Cee
The world looks so dark at times that "Just to smile today?" seems like an impossible thing to do. But you know what? My odds do increase, "That I know!", everytime I tend to be around you. It dosen't take a high IQ, for me to see, that without you, I'd most likely, lose Me. Your like my inner conscious, my crazy mental muse, only you can make me smile even when Im feeling abused. This world is a trip, my problems? Are ones I caused. But as long as I stay connected to you, I won't get lost. So Thank you my friend, for just being the person in my life you are. Cause in my eyes? Like Harriet Tubman? You are my Northern S T A R !
