I'd like to write a poem
that might
Describe my delights.
Share my sorrows.
Expand my expectations.
Defeat my demons.
Justify my joy.
Anchor my anger.
Free my frustrations.
Worship my womanliness.
Bestow my bounty.
Cherish my children.
Harness my hopes.
Love my lard.

I wish that I could write
Like my son the poet
I'm just an amateur
And well I know it
I search the site
And there again
He has written something wonderful
With his amazing pen
Wish that I might write
As he has done
I know I am extremely proud
Of my wonderfully talented son
Dedicated to my son Richard poet extraordinaire
I am so glad that all my children are different
I can love you all for different reasons

My children are like the light of day,
They often ask me questions leaving me with nothing to say.
I watch them play with each other,
And think to myself, "I am a very lucky mother."
When they are fast asleep,
I often wonder what dreams they keep.
They have times when they fight,
And I assure them it will be alright.
They amaze me every time they speak,
It's hard for me to believe they are so unique.
They are my everything,
Without them my life would mean nothing.
I love them with all of my heart,
And pray that we shall never part.

tree,
I was loving the sun,
Not consciously doing anything
My gourds hanging sweetly,
Too big to move much
Dancing with internal mirth
Because I was being picked today
It is always a relief to a calabash
When the pickers arrive
I heard laughter and stood a bit taller
Glad I could see farther than bushes
But no one showed, so I knew
It was not the pickers.
I sat back and enjoyed the
love of the sun a little longer,
excited the gourds would be going to new homes
today, knowing they would love
being bird houses and decorations
Feeling sad for the ones who
would be turned into tobacco pipes
They are all my children,
I want them all to
breathe and enjoy
the sun...

I am all woman
But yet am strong
because I've had to be,
little did I know
that fate would deal me a blow
and leave me alone
to raise my family.
Don't be mistaken,
I welcomed my fate,
so that I could raise my family
with love and no hate.
My duties are now over,
I feel I did succeed,
I provided love and care
and all they would ever need.
My children, now young adults
are intelligent and polite,
as difficult as those years were,
I think I did it right!

fate,
I want to be remembered
By the words that I write
I want my message to be heard
I pray someday that it might
I want my love to be felt
My heart to be told
These things are pondered
As my years grow old
I've never left my life to chance
Not under any circumstance
To run and hide will never be
I live my life for all to see
I love my children I love my wife
I'm proud to live this wonderful life
I'm against injustice I'm against all hate
"I am the master of my fate"
*Inspired by a line from William Ernest Henley*
"I am the master of my fate"

The Family That God Gave to Me
I think about the family,
that God gave to me...
And think about where
they'll spend eternity!
I think about the good times,
that we've had.
And the trials we've faced...
Both good and bad!
God helped us to overcome
adversity together!
And proved his faithfulness...
Today and forever!
He showed us the Godly path,
that we should follow...
And promised to be with us!
Today and tomorrow!
He's proven how
much he loves us!
And how much that he
cares for us!
Thank you my lord,
for all you do!
Where would we be?
If not for you?
You've proven yourself
over and over again!
Thank you so much,
for being our friend!

"I Do Believe"
The purpose of LIFE is to {Living In Faith Ever}
to enrich God within us
to an optimum level
so that We as Humans
can be guided by God
to fuel out brothers and sisters
with the same driving force
to connect with the living God,
to His existence and
to See the Invisible,
Believe the Incredible, and
to Receive the Impossible
to our everlasting journey
to Heaven.

Priceless pearl
my hidden diamond
love's sweet jewel
Heaven sent
Angelic countenance
Beauty so pure
Lovely daughter
your character delights
my devotion forever
Heartbeat on screen
My unbelief ceased
the moment
You
first squeezed my finger

absence, appreciation, father son, pain, sad love,
On hands and knees brown leaves were brushed away
My fingers traced his name engraved in stone
The birds remind me how the years have flown
As tears of shame and guilt fell where he lay
My mind looked in my heart for words to say
"You are the wisest man I've ever known
Before your death our conflicts were atoned
But void inside my heart has not decayed
I taught my children values which we shared
And looked after my mother like you asked
The pain I caused you still makes me feel sad
I just want you to know that I still care
My love for you still lives though you have passed
If you can hear me now, I miss you dad."

He is my gentle seduction
that makes me lighter than air
he holds onto me firmly
so I won't up and disappear
Not that I don't love him
but in fact, I love him so dear
but remember, I told you,
he makes me lighter than air
He has to be my angel
God sent me, I, unaware
for years I stopped dreaming
I guess out of lonely fear
But today, I woke from dreaming,with him kissing my ear
how perfect our love is, in our older years
enjoying those simpler things like cooking
fishing or just holding the other near
He is my handsome husband
the father of my children, our truest bliss
soon the grandfather to the symbol
of all these growing in loving years

I wish to be magician
With magic wand and such
I would change some awful things
In one magic touch
I wish to be a baker
Bake some yummy bread
Feed people all around
Even those I’ve never met
I wish to be a soldier
To spread peace and fun
To fight with words of wisdom
Instead of a gun
I wish to be a teacher
Bring some hope and love
Tell the wise man story
About God above
While I’m a mother
I wish my children grow in peace
To learn, and play, and to be free
This is my biggest wish.

husband,
You are the first thought
I have in the morning.
my beautiful morning dove.
The sunshine through my window
my one and only love
You remind me of the birds just within reach
even though I can not touch them
I know they are there for me
you are the father of my children
the man I respect and adore
The king to my palace
my always and forevermore
nothing else maters in this entire world
except that we grow old together
because you are the only man I love and adore

Dear God you gave to me
You gave to me a man honest and true
A man honest and true to father my children
To father my children to care for us too
To care for us too in all that we do
In all that we do he was there to see us through
He was there to see us through, until you called him home to you.

joy, mentor, my children, , sweet love,
A teacher’s life has never been easy.
8 hours a day is as cruel as an agony.
To teach is not just enough!
We touch hearts with sweet hands of huff.
Imparting the best lessons in life,
Try not to put them in the strife.
We always want the better for them.
Transform lives and make it a sharp hem.
Teaching is not just a profession.
It’s a soulful work of sweet love and devotion
Others may not see its worth.
But we make no worst on this earth.
I am proud to be a teacher!
An agent of change and a leader.
Joy and dedication are fiery alive.
Face challenges for the rest of our lives

===============================
I made Earth and then let spill
miracles in every spot,
wanting You should want for naught
and when I'd brought light to fill
up the world, I worked until
in my image, You were wrought.
Then, by cursed afterthought,
I bestowed You with free will
and with life and death to give,
let You choose how each would go.
Now Your death and how You live
are but what Your choices show.
Still, my Children, I forgive
all because I love You so

childhood, children, dad, daughter, good night, i love you, my children,
Daddy, your bed time stories were the best.
The extra prescision you took while reading a book,
To overcome your struggles and ensure you pronounced each word correctly,
Were the most beautiful sounds.
The way you would sit and practice slowly,
Sometimes repeating words out loud or to yourself,
In efforts meant to bring our sleepy ears an image written down.
They were always the most beautiful words Daddy.
They were the best stories, that I lay in bed,
An adult now, and listen to my memories, where you retell them again.
You stuttered - it mattered not.
No other stories compare.

baby, child, children, daughter, emotions, family, children, kids, joy, mother, mother daughter, my child, my children, son,
The world spins around so very fast;
Gone are the days of my past.
When I was young and free;
Nothing ever seemed to get ahold on me.
Then God placed 2 angels in my path;
My love for them covers my life like a hot bath.
Soaking my world in loves eternal flame;
With my 2 angels by my side,
Nothing will ever be the same.
The universe could cease to exist;
But my love for them will always persist.
There is no force that could ever undo;
The power of my love for the 2 of you.
I promise you, it cannot be done;
For nothing could ever come before a
Mothers love for her Daughter and Son.

emotions, father daughter, how i feel, love, my children, truth, uplifting,
The laughter of a child,
silly noises made" listen
dad I'll do it again". It's such
a happy moment and I doubt
she even knows it.
How this
small fragment in time is a
sublime memory. Just how much
I love her, how the love I have for
her brings tears to my eyes.
I'm
sometimes not the perfect father
but I know I'd never harm her. I
would stand up against any threat,
I'd protect her till the death.
She is a gift
of life to be shared. Alex brings joy
in so many ways, to so many people
without even knowing. she truly is a
hidden angel in plain sight.

Funny life is
as my children
all grown
Now.. seems to be
so many men
coming to my door
as my children
not want me
to be alone..
Friends too..
trying to set me up
trying to get me out
wanting me to have someone
But that is only
If and When LOVE comes about
True Love.. is given
Not by hunting for..
Nor by glazing around
True Love.. cometh
By day or night
Tis a Blessing two Hearts become one
Love in Truth
between two
Is Blessings
But tis be..
many not realize
I am not alone
For God is with me
Wherever I may go
He will Never leave me
This I do know
For Jesus will never
leave my side..
even as time
passes.. by..
God's Love endures forever
Come to Jesus

dad, daughter, death, eulogy, i miss you, loss, sorrow,
You leave no self that I can see,
Though sounds of you are still around me.
The sound of a car on a gravel drive,
Moments watching rugby live.
A pint of beer being slowly poured,
The radio announcing the cricket scores.
My brother’s tone when he speaks a word
Not your voice, but your voice heard.
Your terrible music which I now love too,
Just because it reminds me of you.
Though the loveliest sound, I won’t hear again:
Joy in Mum’s voice when you called her name.
She’s wrapped in our family for you from hereafter
Hearing my children carry your laughter.
As a child you thought I was deaf to your will,
But I was listening Dad, and I’m listening still.

death, life, love, spoken word,
Everyday Life sends Death countless gifts because she misses him,
and Death holds on to them forever as a reminder of his love for her.
They fell in love a long time ago
and have become two star-crossed lovers trying to defy mortality.
They have written a timeless love story,
one of undivided devotion that has survived millenniums
and is still considered the greatest of them all.
Maybe Life was missing Death more than usual today;
maybe she had to send him an extra special soul as a reminder of just how much she loves him.
