You do not have to be at
100%
To give
100%
Remember  that…

1000 words
500 smiles
100 good jobs
50 hugs
All of that equals
That you are LOVED

10 minutes of fame
On national television
Can’t be beat
But boy, did we feel the heat

10 years, how can it be
The day “You and Me” became “We”
I love you more with each passing day
Happy 10 year wedding anniversary!

I love you always and forever baby 💜

1+1 = 2
11 years on adventure with you
2 hearts that became one
Look at how far we have come
Together forever and always
You and me
Can’t wait to see
Where our next journey will be
Love always,
Me

First: Best Friends
Second: First Kiss
Third: Will you be my girlfriend?
Fourth: Will you Marry me?
Fifth: I do
Sixth: Starting our lives
7,8,9,10 years together loving you...

I can't believe it's been this long
12 years since you have been gone
Not a day goes by that we don't think of you
And treasure the memories we have of you
Even though you were gone before we said "I do"
I still consider you my family too
My father in law you will always be
Forever and always will be with me

One kiss
12 years ago today
A Ferris wheel paved the way
The smell of car exhaust in the air
You looked into my eyes, I was scared as hell
You took a chance, a leap of faith
Everything happens for a reason
Even in mysterious ways

One kiss
12 years ago today
I couldn’t be happier now
I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way...

I love you always baby 💜

As it gets closer to midnight
The clock winds down
Another year to be found
Kiss the one you love
Hold them tight
The start of a new year
Is in sight
A time to change
Have a blank slate
Cheer to 2018
Being amazingly great!

As the holiday season comes to an end
The old year is gone but a new one begins
A blank start for you to fill with the same hopes and dreams you had last year
Reach your goals, follow your dreams
Happy New Year, 2019!

What will 2020 bring for me?

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

20/20 vision is perfect
Yet 2020 is far from
Perfection

2020 has been a struggle as so many can say, but for me, particularly, it’s been a struggle everyday.

Hiding the pain I’m always feeling
My story is coming to an end
I’m trying to be brave and enjoy the rest of my life
The inevitable is going to happen in due time
I have fought so hard and tried my best
It wasn’t enough but I have been blessed
Been blessed for my family and friends who stood by my side
It’ll be soon that we all have to say goodbye
It’s more like “see you again”
When we will meet around the bend
Don’t be sad for when I’m gone
I’ll be with you when the sun rises at dawn
Thank you for all you have done for me
Everything happens for a reason and for me
My reason was to teach everyone to love and be happy....

32 years and still going strong
From they day I was born I wasn't suppose to be here long
Being born premature
And without a windpipe
My parents and family were filled with fright
I don't know how I am still here today but
I am a baby miracle in every way
Living life to the fullest
And loving it so
Never thinking I'd be here
Where did the time go?
I thank God everyday that he kept me here
Spreading my infectious smile and giving cheers
32 years and going strong
From the day I was born I wasn't suppose to be here long...

She
(Who is me)
Is scared to be
(Something she is not)
For all to see
(Broken-hearted)
Yet happy as can be
(How is it possible)
To set my intentions free
(Figuratively)

Regardless of your views
Today we welcome in a new
President of the United States
Respect is key from all parties
In hopes we can move forward with ease

Wham bam
Thank you sir
A quickie in the morning
Is what we deserve
5 minutes and it was done
But at last it was fun

Your lifeless body laying there, the silence was dark
The chill grew colder, the time passed by
The wait was over, it was time for goodbye
We surrounded your bedside, we prayed and sang
I know you heard us, and still to this day
The silence is now broken but the chill is still cold
Well be ok, I'm sure you know

I hope your watching over me each and everyday because I know your still with me in some way
I look to the sky and I know your still there...

You will always be my "Papa Bear."

Hello?
Can you hear me?
I’m down here...
6 feet under...
Not where I’m suppose to be
You come and visit me
Everyday
I hear you constantly pray
To talk to me again
Hold my hand
Hug me tight
Well I’m right here
I hear everything you say
I cry with you
I laugh with you
I pray with you
I am always with you
Even from 6 feet under
I AM HERE
I pray myself
To heal your pain
Dry your eyes
Help you move on
Don’t forget me
You know where I am
Always in your heart
Forever your friend
I will continue to grow old with you
Until we meet again
When we walk together in the sky
Holding each others hands
For now I stay
6 feet underground
Loving you
Praying with you
Hearing your voice
As I lay in silence
6 feet underground...

A glancing pass
A childish dare
When I was a child
We got the timeout chair

We played outside
Til the street lights come on
If we were allowed
We would have played until dawn

Riding bikes
Playing games (outside)
Nowadays children won’t know how it was
That’s just a shame

Not all, but most kids
Glued to the video games
Television and iPads
No socialization to be had

Growing up when I did
Taught me to be grateful
For what my parents did (for me and my family)

Taught to be humble, strong and kind
Treat everyone with respect
To all of mankind

Taught us to work for the things we wanted
Work hard but also play hard
Was something they instilled in me all the time

Sometimes social media can be a twisted place
It sometimes feel like it’s a waste

Go outside
Catch some fireflies
Look at the stars
In the night sky

Hang with friends
Playing hide and seek
Mother may I and
Kickball, was definitely one to beat

If the children of today
Could go back to our times of how we played
They wouldn’t know how to act
Since a video game was blocking their way

So many things have evolved
Keeping up with the times is great
But social media has somewhat ruined it all....

8 months today
Since I met you
While I lost you

When in doubt
Turn around
Reflect and think

She peered into the absent part of her own heart, only to find, to her surprise, the absence of lost time she’s left behind

I created love
In my heart
You ripped it out
Threw it on the ground
Stomp on it
Splatter my blood
Said I wasn’t good enough
We’re done

Abuse...

You can’t get acceptance from others  
Before you fully accept yourself...
Embracing your flaws (we all have them)
Loving yourself
Truly embodying who your meant to be
Accepting things at face value
Being true to yourself
Accepting who you are

Then others will accept you, for YOU...

Accepting someone back into your heart and your life who has caused you pain and did you wrong only means that your human and you have a heart yourself

All I ask of you...
... is that you accept and love me.....
For me.....

Accept me

For me

Or just walk away

Gingerly

Feeling of being surrounded by friends on Hello Poetry
Even though we’ve never met in real
Life
Y’all  understand and accept me for me
For that reason, I’m truly blessed as can be

You see that mountain....?

It looks to high she replied

“Climb as high as you can, even if you don’t make it to the top, you’ll feel accomplishment with every step on how far you got....”

A change in you
A change in me
Follow me to the garden and see
Under the flowers that grow
Just like you and me
A change in you
A change in me
We all start small
We all grow tall
Like fresh fruit off the vine
A change in you
A change in me
Take a walk through a guided path
Blink your eyes and see
A change in you
A change in me
We’ll grow up together happy
Even if our guided paths take a detour
But we all need a little
Change in you
Change in me

There was a young boy
Who wandered by
Peering into the window
As we wondered why
30 minutes or so went by
Standing all alone outside
We finally asked if he was ok
He said he was lost along the way
We brought him inside, out of the rain
He was so grateful, kept saying thanks
He called his mom, who was in New York
Come to find out, he was just lost
His counselor was looking for him, he wandered out on his own
We gave him some water and a slice of pizza of course
They came to get him, asked “how much does he owe?”
I simply relied “ nothing at all”
We took care of him and kept him safe
We made him happy and put a smile on his face
Before they left he came up to me
He said “ My name is Jermaine, I just want to thank you... you have no idea how much that means to me, thank you so much for taking care of me...”
It may not seem much to some of you
But for us tonight, a small act of kindness, really rang true

A curve ball was thrown and instead of taking a direct hit
I became the matrix, bend over backwards and
let it fly past me...

Going a day without
Laughing
Smiling
Or
Feeling Joy...

Is just a wasted day....

Be happy
Be positive
Be blessed..

I try
I try
I will
I will
I promise
I promise
I’ll change
I’ll change
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I can’t
I can’t
I understand
I understand
I’m empty
I’m empty
I’m done
I’m done

I’m am addicted
