I GAVE YOU ALL I HAD, TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD THE BEST.  UNTIL YOU SAY, "THANK YOU," I WILL NOT GET ANY REST.
I BOUGHT YOU THAT BRAND NEW TOY CAR, SO YOU CAN FREELY DRIVE.  I'M WAITING FOR YOU TO SAY, "THANK YOU," BEFORE I CLOSE MY EYES.
I FIXED MY OWN FOOD, TO PASS OUT ON THE STREETS.  SOME OF THEM FAILED TO SAY, "THANK YOU," AS THEY WERE GIVEN SHOES FOR THEIR FEET.
I FILLED UP BIG BAGS OF CLOTHES, AND GAVE THEM TO THOSE IN NEED.  I WAS WAITING TO HEAR THE WORDS "THANK YOU," AFTER I PLANTED THE SEED.

You got to be you, and not other people you see.  When you look in the mirror, say, "I know I got to be me."
You got to be you; there is no need to change.  You need to be yourself, nothing should be rearranged.
You got to be you; living a life upright.  Not only for today, but morning, noon and night.
You got to be you; you must know who you are.  If you fail to realize this, you will not make it far.
You got to be you; always the same.  People will remember you, even your precious name.

You stay away for days, even for several weeks at a time.  You leave your family worried, they were about to lose their mind.
Your family had bills to pay, but you didn't leave a dime.  Whatever you are doing, it's nothing but a crime.
Just before you left your home, you began to scream and yell.  Do you really love your family, I'm sure they cannot tell?  You made so much noise, you were louder than a bell.
Once you arrived back home, you noticed things had changed.  You no longer had a family, even their names wasn't the same.  Now your mind is confused, just don't go insane.
Learn to treat your family with great respect and love, and began to tell them so.  Don't just hold it in, but let you family know.  You don't want to end up out in the cold, with nowhere to go.
Time is too short, to continue to live in the past.  Get along with each other, and try to make your marriage last.  Start the relationship out slow, and not to fast.
Remember, we serve a mighty God, and He's a God of a second chance.  Go on and live a happy life, so your marriage can advance.

YOU HAVE TO LET GO, AND NOT HOLD TOO TIGHT.  JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT DOING WRONG, BUT YOU ARE DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO LET GO, DON'T BE AFRAID TO LET GO.  IT'S TIME TO PUT INTO PRACTICE, ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW.
YOU HAVE TO LET GO, AND NO LONGER STAY.  YOU'LL BE SURE TO FIND DIRECTION, AFTER TAKING TIME OUT TO PRAY.
YOU HAVE TO LET GO, TO LEARN WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT.  I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT, AND THAT'S WITHOUT ANY DOUBT.
BY, AUTHOR & POET,  SANDRA JUANITA NAILING

You just don't know, what the future will bring, but I know who do.  God will take you gently by the hand, to assure you'll make it through.
You just don't know; people will be placed in your life.  They will be sent to you, to keep you on the road called "Right".
You just don't know, about those who are put in your path.  They are there to assist you, no matter what you hath.
You just don't know, about the rewards you will gain.  Everyone will have faith in you, and proudly delight in your name.
You just don't know!

YOU MADE ME DO IT, I HAD TO ASSIST YOU OFF THE GROUND.  I SAW WHEN YOU WERE ATTACKED, BY THE GROUP OF GUYS HANGING AROUND.
YOU MADE ME DO IT, I HAD TO ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO STEAL.  YOU WOULD SPEND TIME IN JAIL, REMEMBER LIFE IS REAL.
YOU MADE ME DO IT, YOU NEEDED A PLACE TO STAY.  I COULDN'T SEE YOU SLEEP IN THE STREETS, AS PEOPLE PASSED YOUR WAY.
YOU MADE ME DO IT, YOU WERE HUNGRY WITHOUT FOOD.  I WAS NOT GOING TO WATCH YOU STARVE, WHEN I HAVE MONEY YOU CAN USE.
YOU MADE ME DO IT, WHEN I SAW YOU WITH VERY LITTLE CLOTHES.  MY CLOSET IS RUNNING OVER, I'LL SHARE, FROM YOUR HEAD, DOWN TO YOUR TOES.
BY, AUTHOR & POET, SANDRA JUANITA NAILING

YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD, LET IT START AT AN EARLY AGE.  ALLOW YOUR SPIRIT TO LISTEN TO HIM, AS YOU PROGRESS THROUGH EVERY STAGE.
YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD, TO KNOW WHAT DIRECTION TO TAKE.  HE'S ABLE TO GET YOU ON TIME, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LATE.
YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD, SO YOU CAN CARRY OUT YOUR PLAN.  HE WILL BE ABLE TO LIFT YOU UP, SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO STAND.
YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD, SO YOUR FUTURE CAN BE BRIGHT.  EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED FROM HIM, KEEP BEFORE YOUR SIGHT.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER, SO YOU CAN LIVE A LONG LIFE.  TO CONTINUE TO GET OUT OF CONTROL, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER, IT CAN GET YOU KILLED.  ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW, LIFE OUT THERE IS REAL.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER; YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE DON'T PLAY.  BECAUSE OF YOUR ANGER, THEY'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE OUT THE WAY.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER; YOU MUST GO OUT TO GET HELP.  PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ANGER, THEY NO LONGER EXPECT IT TO BE FELT.

Why wait until Valentine Day, to show your sincere love?  St. Valentine was our example, he is now gone above.
Why wait until Valentine Day, to pass out your finest gift?  If your loved one needed a ride today, would you give her a lift?
Why wait until  Valentine Day, to deliver roses and flowers?  Today behind closed doors; you are acting mean, and sour.
Why wait until Valentine Day, to go out on a date?  Yet, every night when you come home; we can expect you to be late.
Don't wait until Valentine Day, to show that you're a good man.  Everyday should be a day of love, throughout this evil land.

After a devastating storm, you found it destroyed your land.  Be thankful that your life was spared, protected by a "Powerful Hand"!
Before the vicious storm arrived, you may not had too much.  Now today you abound in blessings, by this you are touched.
When the storm was finally over, you had no where to go.  You found that people took you in, allowing compassion to flow.
Don't curse the storms you experience in life; look closely because you are blessed.  God will continue to carry you through, and give you peace and rest.

Your body is a beautiful Masterpiece, "Fearfully and Wonderfully" made.  If properly taken care of, it will slowly fade.
Your body is a beautiful Masterpiece, from your head to your last toe.  It will be observed by everyone, everywhere you go.
Your body is a beautiful Masterpiece, it should have the best of care.  Don't forget about good hygiene, to your body and your hair.

Your dignity should reflect, everything you are.  If you use it wisely, you will go very far.
Your dignity should reflect what you stand for; no matter what is said.  It will cause you to soar high; far above others head.
Your dignity will help you, and allow you to excel.  It will prevent you from troubles; encouraging you not to fail.
Your dignity will precede you, giving directions ahead.  It will give you knowledge, so follow while being led.
Always keep your dignity; regardless what others do.  Having a sense of dignity, will  always carry you through.

You may say evil things about me; you may knock me down; you are only building my foundation, whereon I can stand proud.
You may try to stop me, but forwardly I'll press ahead.  You are only building my foundation, all your extra weight I'll shed.
I have many talents, some are very rare.  You may give up on me, but these talents I'm willing to share.
My foundation is going down, very, very deep.  No matter what you do to me, know I cannot be beat.
By, Sandra Juanita Nailing

You're not all that!  I'm here to say you're not.  You turn your nose at people; this is something you do a lot.
You hurt your brothers feeling, bringing everything in the bare.  You pay them no attention; you show you just don't care.
Since you've moved up in life, you left your friends behind.  How quickly you forgot they helped, when you did not have a dime.
Show a little gratitude, and humble your high lifted head.  What will people say about you, when you lay your head?

I know that you are a child, and you are totally free.  If you ever need my help, come and ask, because you are not bothering me.
I know that you are a teenager, and you're waiting patiently for the car key.  In the meantime, I'm willing to escort you around, because you are not bothering me.
I know that you are up in age, and your eyes can barely see.  You can ask me for anything, because you are not bothering me.
I don't want to be too busy, to hear about the concerns we have in life.  I want to always be available, to do whatever is right.

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF YOUR EYES, BE THANKFUL YOU CAN SEE.  THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE BLIND, UNABLE TO BE FREE.
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF YOUR EYES, BEING ABLE TO REFLECT THE LIGHT.  YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW, WHEN IT'S MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT.
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF YOUR EYES, YOU CAN FREELY GET AROUND.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE, RUNNING PAST, KNOCKING YOU TO THE GROUND.
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF YOUR EYES, TO BEHOLD PEOPLE'S MAGNIFICENT FACE.  THIS IS NOT A TIME TO BE PREJUDICE, RELAX AND ENJOY EVERY RACE.
ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF YOUR EYES, LOOKING DEEP INTO THE SOUL.  IT CAN BRING ABOUT YOUR HEALING, MAKING YOU COMPLETELY WHOLE.

Your feelings are so precious, so guard them everyday.  Don't allow people to abuse them, protect them in every way.

Don't get offended, because of my choice of meat.  I love my chicken and turkey; I see you love pig feet.
Don't get offended, because of my choice of meat.  I love my beef and fish; I notice pork is the meat you eat.
Don't get offended, because of my choice of meat.  I intend to live a long life, resisting temptations to cheat.
Don't get offended, because of my choice of meat.  I eat chicken hot dogs, while relaxing in my home.
I notice you eat collard greens with a plate filled with neck bones.
Your meat, my meat.

Your mother went through so much to have you, when you were born.  Yet, she was so happy, she needed to blow a horn.
Your mother was so proud of you, it's a joy you cannot explain.  From the time that you were born, she will never be the same.
Your mother loves you, oh so much, even until this day.  She knows how to be a good mother, by letting nothing get in her way.

Have you ever wondered, how you got you name?  While traveling through life, you noticed others have the same.
Is your name one you desire to keep, and is your name one that's  pretty neat?
Some have been given a name, that is very fine.  Some think their name is not so kind.
There was a man in the Bible whose name was called Jabez.  His name meant  pain, for this he was sad.
One day he  prayed to God, to change his name.  From his special prayer, a new name was gained.

If you live to see the New Year, are you planning on helping mankind?  Or, is this ideal something, far from your mind?

If you live to see the New Year, will you gain more respect?  Or, will you remain in your old ways, constantly getting upset?

You are worth more, than any money can buy.  You are uniquely made; you are pleasant to ones  eye.
You are worth more, than what a person can see.  Deep down inside; you'll find a person that's free.
You are worth more, than the hair upon your head.  You are all about the living, resisting anything dead.
You are worth more, than a life filled with pain.  That's why you choose a life, that will keep you happy and sane.

You were placed on the middle roll, in the Church Choir.  When everyone began to sing; you moved up a step higher.  
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN.
The family put you in the center, to take a photo shot.  You were the first to complain, that you look like a dot.
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN.
You have put on every color; you can ever dream.  You make sure you are in front; you want them to announce your name.
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN.
You are sitting at the table, with all types of food.  Because it is so tasty; you moan licking your fingers, acting very rude.
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN.
While standing in the Street, in front of a crowd; no one is speaking, why are you talking loud?
YOU WANT TO BE SEEN.

While you are watching me, someone is watching you.  It's important that you have your act together, in whatever you do.
While you are watching me, someone is looking over your shoulders, checking you out?  I'll make sure my work is done, and that's without a doubt.
While you are watching me, you are being observed.  This is something that I know, and not something I heard.
While you are watching me, I know to do what's right.  Remember, you are in focus, in plain view of someone's sight.
While you are watching me, tell me, have I past your inspection?  I am not in the mood, to accept negative rejection.

Whenever given a job to do, do it with a zeal.  Your reward will be great; sit back and enjoy the thrill.
Whatever you choose to do in life, do it with all your might.  Continue to do what you know to do, and remember to do what's right.
Your zeal should encourage others, and help them to move along.  Sometimes, we need a boost, use your zeal to push men on.  Let it be with compassion, and not with an attitude.  Learn to be kind to each other, and dismiss the thought of being rude.
Your zeal will carry you places, so you can have success.  Whatever you decide to do, let it be your best.

Because of people using drugs, they seem to be in a zone.  Some seem to get so high, they can't even find their way home.
When I was about to Graduate, they bused us to a different zone.  Information  concerning this school, to me it was unknown.
At times, you may wonder, if you are living in the "Twilight" zone.  Things are acting strange around, leaving you in a daze alone.
Zone can be used in several ways, I'm sure you understand.  Even the World is divided, into many "Time Zones," throughout every land.

Zoom, zoom I'm pretty quick; can you keep up with me?  You can sit there passing the time, not being what you were called to be.
Zoom, zoom life is moving fast.  You can slowly drag your feet, or do something to make your life last.
Zoom, zoom stop sleeping, and wake up!  There are work to be done.  Don't let life pass you by, get a job, and then take time out for fun.
Zoom, zoom you will not always be around.  Do what you can today, to help lift those who are feeling down.
Zoom, zoom someday you will fly away.  When you stand before the Almighty God, will you have something good to say?

When I was a child, I always loved to sleep.  So did my siblings, with them they had me beat.
When we arrived from school, we didn't hang out in the street.  After doing our homework, we all went to sleep.  My mother and father had to work, but they didn't have to worry.  They knew where their children were, so they didn't have to come home in a hurry.
This sleep gave our bodies, plenty of rejuvenating rest.  Upon awakening to eat our dinner, we were all refreshed.
There is nothing like taking time out to relax, and to clear your mind.  Don't do it for a while, try doing it all the time.
