The Power Of A Woman

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

The power of a woman lies in many places.

It isn’t about her face, body or lipstick traces.

It’s about her heart, mind and disposition.

She doesn’t believe in competition.

The power of a woman lies in caring for self and others.

When she does this she never smothers.

The  power of a woman lies in not how many times she falls,

But how many times she rises again.

You many never know when she’s on the mend.

The power of a woman lies in apologizing when wrong.

Prayer keeps her strong.

The power of a woman can be felt in her touch.

This is known by those she loves very much.

Never underestimate the power of a woman.

It’s the greatest power known to man.

Power

Power is one’s ability to do what one thinks is right.

This can be done without hesitation or fright.

Power  means taking charge of what one can control.

This doesn’t require taking on a role.

Power means confidence.

Power means security.

Power doesn’t include immaturity.

Power is one’s destiny.

 

I Remember Daddy

I Remember daddy, yes I do.

Daddy was a provider, protector and teacher too.

Daddy worked hard and family was priority number one.

His smile, demeanor and passion for life were bar none.

He never let difficult times deter him.

The love in his heart was filled to the brim.

I remember daddy, yes I do.

My memories of my daddy are sweet as morning dew.

African American

How proud I am to be African American.

The decendant of a people who endured much.

Slavery, segregation, injustice and such.

No matter how many times they fell they rose again.

Each day was like a chapter that had to begin.

How proud I am to be African American

Many tried and many failed to stop them.

God’s grace and perseverance have always been the hem.

Many gains have been made due to many sacrifices.

The ancestors didn’t care about the prices.

How proud I am to be African American.

The torch has been passed and the work must continue.

No matter the time, place, or venue.

How proud I am to be African American.

A special group of people African Americans are.

With continued faith, perseverance, determination and drive, we will go far.

 

In Time

In Time, all things happen for a reason.

We just have to adjust to each season.

Sometimes we wonder and worry unnecessarily.

We face each day warily.

In time, God unveils His master plan.

We just need to hold on to His unchanging hand.

Life is full of uncertainty that we can face.

We must finish the race.

In time, we will reach our final destination.

Praising God must come without hesitation.

 

Memories

Memories, race through my mind.

By God’s grace, through memories peace I find.

A home, a family, love and guidance galore.

I couldn’t have asked for more.

Memories, race through my mind.

Good times to teach humility and hard times to teach faith to carry through.

Always leaves me feeling anew.

Memories, race through my  mind.

Facing the present while looking forward to the future.

Planning and preparing go hand in hand.

Along with God’s master plan.

Memories, race through  my  mind.

Memories that I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

 

 

I Remember Mama

I remember mama, yes I do.

Mama was beautiful,  loving and true.

Taught me everything I needed to know.

Gave me what I needed to grow.

Love, guidance, discipline and security were a priority.

Kept me traveling the right road.

I remember mama, yes I do.

Mama was a southern bell you see.

Instilled many values in me.

Self respect and respect for others, good work ethic and more.

Thoughts of those values went with me each time I walked out the door.

I remember mama yes I do.

A warm embrace and a few kinds words go along way.

Make me think of mama each day.

 

Woman Of Substance

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

I am a woman of substance.

This is true, without a doubt.

I don’t have to yell, scream of jump about.

From morning to evening, I get things done.

The number of things I allow to deter me are none.

God, family and community are my priorities.

This mindset keeps me among the human minority.

I keep things in line to avoid chaos you see.

I look around and see how God has blessed me.

Life is what I choose to make it I know.

I don’t waste time with things that don’t let me grow.

Self respect, respect for others and kindness are key.

To achieve success that’s the way it has to be.

A woman of substance I am.

I am interested in more than getting glam.

A woman of substance I am.

Destined to do great things according to my creator.

Refusing to let negative thoughts stop me makes me better.

A woman of substance I am.

 

 

Home

Home, such a wonderful place to be.

Filled with peace and tranquility.

More than a place to eat and sleep.

A place of refuge.

A place to peel away the events of the day.

A place to let the heart and mind sway.

Family resides at this place.

You need their warm embrace.

Such a wonderful blessing, home.

Summertime

Summertime,

Fun, sun and special moments, never to be forgotten.

Blooming trees, plants and ocean waves.

Cookouts, music festivals and more.

Relaxing and taking in life’s pleasures along the shore.

Amusement park visits, walks in the park.

Swimming, snorkeling and fishing to enjoy the season.

Having fun for a variety of reasons.
