Birthing three but mothering five,
Having the waves that conquer guilt,
Pushing the pain of weeping Kiddo's outta my heart with the space I create.

Conceiving three but cuddling five,
With the wild heat of motherhood in me,
Making their pain seem less that day
Wiping their tears with the space I create.

Loving five with an uncommon gait,
Breaching the gap that smears their plight,
Wishing the sun will shine tonight
Making them one with the space I create.
*I only hope he wouldn't say no to this strange request.
(God helping me)
Why is it that I'm crying for you
When you told me to burn in hell?
Why must I stay calm and collected
When in my face you continue to yell?
Why is it that I'm to blame for this
When you are the one who invaded my home?
Why am I the one who is conceited
When you seem to think you're on a throne?

*It's one thing to hurt me you lying rotten *****.
But to hurt my father, my sister, my brothers.
You better watch your back....
Because I'm done being passive.

I went down to the shopping mall
Since I saw one store I thought I should see them all
They said they except Visa and MasterCard and American Express
To use one or all or none that was the ultimate test
It would have been best to walk out with a full pocket book
But I thought I would just take a look because
I was Bored In the USA
yes Bored in the USA
Just for fun I thought I would try things on
especially those items with a sale sticker on
I rushed to one store than to the next
If I have to carry much more stuff I might break my neck
all because I lack self control when
I am Bored in the USA
I tried to resist shopping again
My friends and family said I spent too much
I thought my computer would be safe to touch
I saw an add for items from a favorite seller on EBay
I thought it was Ok just to look, one click is all it took
I now am Highest Bidder
because I was Bored in the USA
I did not really need it but like I said
I spent too much because
I was Bored in The USA
Bored In The USA
Bored In the USA
Just listen to Born in the USA and got this idea, I hope it makes you smile on this Monday! yes sometimes I do shop to much, especially when bored or emotional or hungry.

shaping their destinies
strangers partake
moving their fellowship
yet call it fate


choices forbade them
friends set to chatter
even in distress
murmurings must stir


live life to fullness
trusting your shadow
help now in transit
choice you must take

Love

Love

This silly thing we call Love.

This idea of euphoria, that exceeds any drug.

Love

Love

It drives us poets out o' our minds

when we sit down to write, seems it's the topic all the time.

Love

Love

it's a funny little word

no definition could quite fit it, but yet none sound too absurd

Love

Love

some say it keeps them going

It's a **** in the garden, that simply won't stop growing

Love

Love

if it's true it don't stop

even if you won't admit it, there's someone in your thoughts

Love

Love

it's what I feel for you

and darling after all this time, I pray you still do too.

that day at the bank i fondly remember,
when you stood up to defend the stranger i was..
the smiles that followed left prints so deep...
as your caring self kept defending my me

i smile as i remember your voice loud and clear
as you gave instructions yet doing all the chores
leaving me to be "the child" that will make you proud
my mama you are....... the love cannot fade

i can't forget the moments of joy and sadness
always leading to a stronger us!

the days we wished never came.......
the peace we had never left.........
the joy we shared non can fathom
as your unique self is rare to behold.........

As night faded i remembered in my sleep that my mama so good was born on this day...........
I may not do all i ought to do
i may not say all i have to say
but i remember this day that you were born
for many may not know but "you are set to tidy the world"

For my roommate and great friend
* for the challenges we conquered together
* for that great bond of friendship
* for our joy that has no comparison

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY AMILY
    [for my roommate...........Udechukwu Lucy Amaka]
