I am a single mom enjoying life and poetry. I love to write and love reading others poetry. Poetry is strong and can make you laugh, make you sad, make you feel on top of the world and make you feel that anything is possible. I can hardly wait to read Hello Poetry, poetry. Thanks for considering me.
When you were growing inside of me
I felt proud to carry a life
I done everything just right
And prayed every night
I prayed that you would be strong
Healthy, cute and brave
I ask God to strengthen you child
For this is how I prayed
When you were sick I watched
Over you day and night
Never for one second were
You ever out of my sight
I rubbed your tiny head and
Wiped your runny nose
Covered you carefully
To keep you from the cold
I kept you from things I thought
Would hurt you in this world
When you have kids of your own
You will understand a mother’s love
I wanted only the best for you
And you know I still do
I see a lot of me everyday
That’s now created in you
I’ll put you through school
To have a good occupation
Granting it through a great education
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
To see you happy in life
A real good job, a prayer life with God
Not to give up but stand and fight
All these things and more I would give
To you in this wonderful world
But right now child, just accept a mother’s love

If I had one wish given
To me in this world
I would wish for peace
Prosperity and love
I would wish for good health
Joy peace and wealth
I would spread forgiveness
In spite of myself
One wish granted with
Everything combined
Sunshine, freedom, strength
With red cherries and wines
Since there’s only one wish
I’ll keep you in mind
And grant you your wish
Another day and another time

What I want for Christmas
Is not material things
I don’t want a watch
Or a diamond ring
I don’t want a potato pie
Or a fruit cake
What I want for Christmas;
The chef can’t bake
I want to fill this void that
Gives me restless nights
I’m missing something;
I know I need in life
I want something that
Burns in my soul
Something that even I
Can’t control
What I want for Christmas
I dream of every night
What I want for Christmas;
Is Jesus in my life!

Sorry I missed your Graduation
I really wanted to be there
I wanted you to see my face
And know how much I care
Instead I’ll send lots of hugs
Blessings from our father above
Happy graduation with all my love

At night I sat and wonder
Just how some things can be?
And I try to understand
Everything I see.
Each night my pillow
Is wet with lonely tears,
And I say to myself, do
He understand what I feel?
When I struggle through life,
I could never feel
That you care.
The days that I hurt inside
You were never there.
I push my way
Through heart ache,
Sadness, and pain,
When I needed you the most;
You left me standing
In the rain.
Cold and lonely nights
I snuggle in bed
While visions of you
Flash through my head.
Did you see it in my eyes,
And did you even care?
When I needed you
The most, you
Were never there.
I gave you a family
I made the perfect wife,
I prayed hard for you
Each and every night.
I struggle with this pain,
In my own selfish way
And I dreamed every night
That you would
Somehow stay;
Now the time has come
That I have to let go,
It’s killing me inside,
More than you will ever know.
When I look at your picture
I can’t help but stare
The answer is plain and clear;
You were never there.

The preacher is placed here
To feed God’s sheep
To give them God commandments
To always keep
To pray for the sick
And spread God’s love
Carrying this message
To the ends of the world
The preacher is God’s counsel
Listening to our problems
Seeking God for answers
On how he can solve them
The preacher has to speak
The word, in and out of season
He can’t stop the message
For any other reason
I will require the blood at your
Hand said the Lord;
If you don’t feed my people
And establish righteousness
In their heart
A preacher work
Simply has no end
As long as the world exists
There will always be sin

The Bible is more important
Then you think it is
The Bible is a work of art
And does what it will
There’s so much to learn
If you only read the word
You’re find something out
You have never heard
You will find adventure
Romance and a lot more
The Bible will lead you to
Places you never been before
There are comforting words
When you feel this is the end
If you are feeling lonely
I’m sure you’re find a friend
Sometimes we feel that
There’s sorrow in this life
Darkness everywhere
We can hardly see the light
Sometimes we pick it up
And put it back on the shelf
Knowing all the time that
The word is your help
Stop ignoring the word
And act like we care
When we do decide to
Read the Bible; it just
Might not be there

To win this race I
Need strength and power
I need the hand of Jesus
Every minute in the hour
I need his loving touch
To start me on my way
I am thankful for his son
As I honor him today
Holiness he desire to
Live it in my life
To always remember, to
Do that which is right
To fight to win this race
As I travel through this land
To speak of his goodness
To every woman and man
Never forget to bow down
Humble yourself to pray
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way
He is my savior
My joy, my friend
He holds the future
The beginning and the end
He is your peace
In time of sorrow
He holds today
He is tomorrow
Jesus is the answer
He’s yours, he’s mine
He will not delay
You can reach him
Any Time
The life that we live
Take it day by day
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way

Silence of the night, bring so much fear
He stole; he took, from me what is dear
That creaking old board that’s loose in the hall
The monster that tried to hinder my call
Mama; help me, this isn’t right
Your man in my room creeping in the night
Don’t you care that your baby is being *****
Don’t you care how her world is being shaped?
How can you lay there mama and hear my screams
How can you let this monster in my dreams?
How can your heart say you love me so much
But yet you let this monster fill me with hurt
I’m your little girl; you should keep me in your sight
But you let your monster creep in my room at night
The smell of his breath, and deceit in his mind
You let this monster **** me time after time
I’m afraid mama, can’t you see I’m scared
Please keep this monster out of my bed
I hear you crying in the room next door
How long will you lay there, how much more?
Why let him ruin your little girl’s life
Why let him creep in my bed at night
Every time he touch me I call out your name
You stand outside my door crying won’t do a thang
I cry all the time because I’m filled with fright
Cause your man won’t stop creeping in my room at night

I cannot forget you not today or ever
I can’t let go of what held us together
A soft gentle touch on the side of my face
Your hot burning kisses that last for days
A candle light dinner, underneath the stars
Soft gentle hands, oil, and a massage
Trying to let go within myself
But memories of you is all that’s left
Bodies melting together on summer’s night
Burning desires taking me to new heights
Flowers and pictures hanging on the wall
Pride always comes before a great fall
Never not ever got over your death
Memories in my heart is all that’s left
Your face rotating in my mind on repeat
To many nights without enough sleep
Holding on to something I’ll never get back
Your shirts and ties on the table in a stack
Seeing your shadow passing in the night
Quickly floating out of my sight
Wondering about some of the things you said
Hurting, remembering you while crying in bed
When I thought I couldn’t do anything right
Your comfort made everything shine so bright
I will not give you up, no one should dare try
To make me forget or even say goodbye
Everything you were I’ll keep to myself
And realize that of you
Memories is all I have left
