The ten count is over
He's down for the count
The Greatest is gone from this world

But, we will remember
He will stay here forever
As we think of the quips that he hurled

As fast as his fists flew
His lip was much faster
He rhymed with the greatest of ease

Parkinson's slowed him
But, we will remember
The Greatest of All...ALI

Known by the masses
After his time in the ring
He was an angel sent to this earth

He had his convictions
Became a man of the people
He showed what a real life was worth

A true gentle giant
With the speed of a mongoose
The Louisville Lip...that was he

We all know his trademark
How he floated and stung
The Greatest...Muhammad Ali

You are not weak;
You just have to find out your strengths
When you feel the failure all the time,
Just do your best and surrender the rest to God
Always think positive and try to see the best in you

You are not ugly;
You just need to smile to enhance the beauty in you
Always do the good things for you but consider the welfare of others
For beauty is not just skin-deep but coming from the heart

You are loved;
Yes, don't say nobody loves you
That child who smiles when he sees you,
Jesus whom you cannot see, but always loves you
And I, the only one who will not stop loving you

I love you!
This is me, yourself.

I was a hopeless wanderer when we met,
My eyes were swollen from last night's tears, while Yours smiles from ear to ear,
I dont even remember if I knew you personally back then but you knew that I'm one of your lost daughters.

You crossed the space between us and offered Your hand,
You wipe my tears away and made me smile,
You said I should not fear because I have you now,
And you were right, things are better when You're in my side.

For years I tried to ask the what ifs,
But the truth is I should have started asking what is,
What is life without Your love and grace?
What is world without Your presence in any place?

It may take time before we truly meet,
But I thank you for everything.
You've been kind through out my life,
You've been loving that I cant even thank you enough.

Let me then praise You and worship You,
For when my heart was on pieces, you picked them and glued them together,
Not for me to love somebody again but for me to Love You more each day My Victorious King.

Never been this afraid before
I thought I can live on my own
But when I met you
Everything changed in whole.

I thought I don't need a man to complete me
I thought I only need my family
I thought a strong woman doesn't need a man
But in an instant I realized I was wrong

To think that someday you'll realize
That Your love for me is all gone
Gives me the deepest ache
I never thought I'd feel.

I can't be hypocrite
Telling the world I can live without you
When in my heart I know
It's the greatest fear I've ever known.

I can conquer anything
As long as we are together
Because I've learned that i can be the strongest
When I am with you.

Lots of questions are floating in my head
While my heart is still breaking apart
I want to ask you one by one
But I'm afraid of the answers you have.

I'm scared to death
Scared that I'm losing you
But I can't be like this
I can't be like this...
Afraid for your love to fade...

Dat ***** Though

Hey girl, I see you at da club, shaking dat *****
And all I can think about is how that *** would soothe me.
You lookin' so fresh like celery.  Baby, why don't you
come over here and put a bell on me?
I'll be your cat, rub my nose in your lap,
and you can be my doggy.  We can do it in style, for a while.
Then jump in the shower, so you can wash me with your lotions
Rub your magic all over me like your hands are made of potions.
Then let's jump back in bed and keep our bodies in motion.
Girl, you fine like China, like Flo from Mel's diner.
You hotter than Tabasco, and I know you think I'm whacko,
But you got a ***** that makes me crazy.
I want you to haze me, daze me,
and if you say no, it probably won't phase me.
I'll just write poetry about you and me
as if it were real because nothin' gonna stop the way I feel.

We might all be able to achieve greatness,
But there can only be one greatest.

That title doesn’t include the many.
It doesn’t include the we or the us.

Sure, we can all fight hard,
Take what's coming our way,
Become stronger because of it.
We might be victorious, now and again.
We might hold the trophy over our heads
And shout and scream our triumphs to the crowd
And feel truly, utterly, absolutely great.

But that does not make us the greatest.

The media might herald our names,
Praise us, speak aloud of our greatness.
Others might follow us, love us, worship us,
Wish to be just like us.
Flocks of fans, declaring us the favorite.

But that does not make us the greatest.

We might make millions,
Accrue and accumulate wealth beyond wealth,
Seize land, buy power, pay our way.
Show it all off, the glitz and gleam;
A man makes money,
But the money really, truly makes the man.

But that does not make us the greatest.

We might be consumed by adversity
Yet come out swinging on the other side.
We might beat back all the others,
Emerge with our heads high and our fists in the air…

But that does not make us the greatest.

Who sets the expectations?
Who writes the criteria?
Who upholds the standards?
Who is the greatest?

My greatest fear is that one day
You’ll believe those words they always say
Those terrible stories they like to tell
In which thirsty vultures, they like to dwell

To try and find out which bits are true
The shards that speak of me and you
Of our secrets, but most of them are lies
They’ll never find out despite their tries

My greatest fear is that you’ll wake up to see my flaws
And realise I’m not as great as you thought I was
You’ll leave like everyone else does in the end
The difference is this time my heart won’t mend

You’ll find somebody else you think
Is worthier than I’ll ever be
And you’ll wonder how it was
That you were ever in love with me

My greatest fear is you alone
Cause you’re the only one I know
Who has the power to break my heart
Fix it and then tear it back apart

But you’re worth the risk and all those foes
Love is about a trust that always grows
The shards don’t pierce if we don’t want them to
And I’ll be strong as long as I’m with you

If we learn from our mistakes, then making no mistakes is our greatest mistake.
