Through My Eyes

To many things to do, So many things to see

Looking at the world through my eyes, letting your mind be Free

Breathing in the Winter air, Smelling the clean, walking Fast

Looking at old pictures, wishing the good ole days would last

Reading those Urban books getting caught up in storyline

Sneaking a peak at the last page, Figuring out the ending.... Why?

Reminiscing with my siblings about the old times growing up

Trying to readLudell, But never finished it, no such Luck

Writing in my Journal before I went to bed at night

Lurlyn and I the best of Friends but most of the time ended up in a fight

In the Movie "The Four Brothers" she is our "Bobby"

The eldest of us all, Always thinking her way is what it should be

Always ready for a good Fight

Keeping her opinions to herself...Not even... not quite

Tiffany is our "Angel" always keeping things on Fire

America's Beautiful Nightmare, everyone knows her as a Live Wire

Eboni is our "Jack" not as quiet as the one in the movie

With the Lethal words coming out of her mouth, On her side I always want to be

And of course I am "Jeremiah", The "Reason" behind all difficult questions

I try to think I give good advice, but remember it's $75 an hour each session :)

Afraid of loosing a loved one and being left alone

Even though in my heart they will always have a home

So much to do, To many cries

To be continued...... More Through my Eyes

Perfection

What does the perfect relationship consist of?

Conversation, Sex, Loyalty or all of the above

Can one person give you all that you need

Do you want someone to follow or to always take the lead

If someone cheats will you forgive them

Or will you turn your back, causing the relationship to end

What if you had a child that you cherished more than anything else

Would you stay in an unhealthy relationship and jeprodize happiness within yourself

What if the one that you loved was already married

But it's the love for you his heart always carried

To stay with someone that wasn't true

But to start over again, that's something you didn't want to do

To say your relationship is better than some

Even though we all know you need to throw up your hands and say your done

Maybe you found love across seas on the Internet

Does this mean all of the shit she put you through, you should accept

Did you mis-understand the purpose of my life

It's not to obey and serve and be the perfect wife

Who's fault is it that you can't get over the men in my past

Figure something out quick if you want this to last

Maybe one day we'll get our shit together

And we'll all find perfect love and things will get better

But for now let's be adults and keep it real

Let the person in your life know exactly how you feel

These are true stories I wanted you all to know

Figure out which one is yours before you decide to go

The Perfect Guy, The Perfect Girl

Who's going to be 100% your world

Ask yourself one simple question

Why do we always settle for less than Perfection?

What If?

What if Life was different?

With everything being consistent

No Sorrow no Pain

No one besides yourself to blame

What if happiness last forever?

Loved ones stayed around and everything just got better

Love and laughter

Your heart beating faster

What if heartache didn't exist?

What a thought? What a twist?

Understanding the logic of pain and separation

There must be something wrong with the communication

What if we could go back in time?

Would I be a thought, would I cross your mind?

Missing someone you never knew

How would that work? What would you do?

What if I could feel that unconditional Love again?

Would I ever let it go? What type of message will I send?

What if Pleasing everyone was your top priority?

Would you ever wonder what number on there's would you be?

What if you thought you were the one to blame?

Missing out on life, feeling nothing but shame

Annoyance, Frustration and depression is what I feel

What if things don't get better? How will I heal?

This has to end one way or another

How would you cope with the loss of your Mother??

Mom & Me

We met a long time ago

Before I even started to show

Maybe your sister needed a brother

Again I was going to be a Mother

Time started to pass

And everyone started to ask

If I was pregnant once more

I said Yes! With a little girl I will cherish and adore

Then we met and my feelings were mixed

You were born December 10th of 1976

You were shy and quiet and never wanted to be left alone

I wondered how you would be once you left home

***********************

I started to grow and find my own way

I remember when I left Pennsylvania, I cried that day

I missed you so much I wanted to go back

But choices and opportunities Wilkes-Barre lacked

You came to Live with us in 2001

2 years after you had your very last son

I cherished the time that we spent together

But you wanted to go back to the Islands with promises of life being better

Time past and you came to visit for your Birthday

That's when I realized I really wanted you to stay

If I would of known that time would be the last

Before Ariel called me and told me that you passed

Maybe things would of been different, But I have to let it be

I'll just wait till I get to heaven, Once again it will be Mom & Me.

My Father My Daddy

They asked me who you are and I said it with pride

They asked me to describe you and my feelings I could not hide

I cherish every moment that we've ever shared

To disrespect you, that's one thing I never dared

My Friend, My Teacher, it's you I trust

"My Mentor, My Believer you are a must

You never turned your back, You always stayed true

I never had to question the things you told me to do

You were the one I looked up to in my time of need

You told me never to follow, but always take the lead

I turned out to be like you in more ways than one

To be serious when need be, but to always have fun

They asked me who you are. I said My Father, I was so Happy

They asked me who you are and with Pride I said MY DADDY!

"For Granted"

That kiss in the morning before we say goodbye

A hug after a long trip and the look in your eyes

Conversations that we have while eating dinner

Thoughts of me appreciating that I've picked a winner

Calling your parents weekly just to say Hi!

Watching a great movie and letting out a good cry

Walking in the park and smelling the flowers

Laying on the couch and reading a book for hours

Listening to your child Horribly torture the Clarinet each day

But when the recital comes your in the front row with tears in your eyes listening to her play

Telling her that she is beautiful in the dress that she's wearing

Thanking him for being a shoulder to cry on or just for caring

Looking at her like you did when you saw her for the very first time

Realizing how lucky I am that he's all mines

A "Thank you" from your Boss for a job well done

Thanking God for blessing you with your new daughter or son

Things that we take for Granted not realizing what it can do

It could make or break a relationship...but it all depends on YOU!

True Story???

The way you make me feel can not be explained

Laughter and love without any pain

Your smile is contagious and I'm loving how you make me feel

No more pain and heartache...I am beginning to heal

We go out to dinner and hang out at home

You promised me that I would never be left alone

The relationship has changed and things are getting better

I'm glad I didn't have to leave you that "Dear John" letter

We laugh and joke and play around all the time

I truly believe our relationship will be fine

If not I'm glad to have those memories to take with me where ever I go

With no hard feelings, just situations to help me grow

Our love is so strong that it can never be broken

DREAMS are cruel....To good to be TRUE and at that very moment

I was AWOKEN!!

Life's Choices

There are so many things taken for granted

Life, Love and the ability for seeds to be planted

What would be the most important thing in your life

Your children, Your job, money or your wife

Time passes and people change

But to what degree....What range

I've thought about many things that I've done from time to time

Many that I will always remember and other's I won't claim as mines

I Fathered a child I wouldn't claim as my own

Now I'm sick...About to die...and the love from him has yet to be shown

My children are now grown and I've always stood by their side

How proud I am of them, I have never tried to hide

We've tried to concieve time and time again

The hardest part of waiting is not knowing when

Money can't buy Love and everyone knows that's true

Just think about the when and where and you'll be able to find your who

Taking things for granted should not be a priority

Love yourself, Enjoy your Life... Love God's Creativity!
