The Blessing

Awaking every day

Accepting God’s way

Feeling His loving touch

Seeing how it means so much

Embarking on a new journey

Meant for you only

Learning as you go

Sharing everything you know

Sharing the love

That comes from heaven above

Finally finding solid ground

Sharing the joy you found

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Lifting your voice

As you begin to rejoice

Hearing God’s word

Sharing what you heard

Fulfilling the purpose

You see lying at the surface

Finding a safe space

To run your race

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Filling your soul

With what makes you whole

Taking the time

To remember your prime

Making clear

What you hold dear

Doing a victory dance

When you get a chance

Seeing things set in stone

Knowing God won’t leave you alone

Facing naysayers

As you say your prayers

Seeing what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Knowing what’s true

How God brought you through

Passing every test

Like all the rest

Learning to never pretend

Keeping the faith until the end

Knowing without stressing

Comes the blessing

Mama’s Hands

Mama’s hands held me close

She showed I mattered most

She offered the love

That comes from heaven above

She guided me every day

In her own special way

She made me see

What’s meant to be

She was the light

That shined day and night

She offered an encouraging word

That’s the best I’ve heard

She soothed me with her touch

Her touch meant so much

And she offered her affection

As well as protection

Mama’s hands taught me lessons

That became heartfelt confessions

Her voice went far

She helped me reach for a star

She turned me around

Put me on solid ground

She made me see my purpose

Lying at the surface

She showed me how to share

She showed me how to care

Her hands set me on the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

She taught me to rejoice

Whenever I hear God’s voice

She offered something pure

She made me feel secure

She was one of a kind

She gave me peace of mind

She gave me strength

Whenever we talked at length

She set things in stone

She never left me alone

Mama’s hands

Showed where love stands

Skin I’m In

As I look in the mirror

Everything becomes clearer

I look as far as my eyes can see

I know what’s meant to be

The crown of my head

To the soles of my feet

Is where God and I meet

Faith eases the pain

It takes away the strain

I take things in stride

My gratitude I can’t hide

I embrace every journey

Knowing it’s meant for me only

Society I ignore

Cause God fills me to the core

I was made in the imagine of God

I offer Him a wink and nod

He fills my soul

He makes me whole

He helps me win

I’m proud of the skin I’m in

I reject old ways

I cherish all my days

Naysayers say what they will

But God gives me a thrill

I rest in my zone

I have standards of my own

My beauty is something to behold

My story will be told

God didn’t make a mistake

He knows what I can take

I carry life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

I’m in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I stand on solid ground

I share the joy I found

God helps me win

I’m proud of the skin I’m in

Sweet Dreams

I think of you every day

Wouldn’t have it any other way

I think of the journey

Meant for us only

And I can clearly see

It was meant to be

Every touch is golden

To God we’re beholden

It’s part of the plan

God reveals when He can

I long to hold you close

Cause bonding matters most

I think of your tender kiss

Something I’ll never miss

I long to hold your hand

Right where you stand

And I burst at the seams

In my sweet dreams

I want to look at you

Admire the things you do

I think of us sharing love

That comes from heaven above

I know what I feel is real

Too difficult to conceal

Every moment seems rare

It shows God is there

My thoughts fill me to the core

I long to give you more

They offer something pure

Make me feel safe and secure

I long to see you smile

Make you laugh a little while

I long to touch your heart

Where love should start

I long to hear your voice

The thought makes me rejoice

And I burst at the seams

In my sweet dreams
