Shopping Cart Love(funny)
Shopping cart Love

I'm going to the (love )store to buy me a man
I hope he can fit in this big ole' trash bag
I wonder if they have men on sale this week?
Gotta pick up some other things,
Like broccoli and new bed sheets
I know what you're thinking, and that is not true, but the market in men has great value
He's worth more than my flat- screen tv, but less than a car
Girl, these men in this store are the best quality, by far
They are nice, we hold hands, he even opens my car door too!
Shucks! I might even find a man for you!!😂😂😁

Universe
Universe

 Blandness is an understatement to describe all of your glory
History in rocks, mountains, rivers, carry your story
Beauty in golden streams, flopping fish won't keep still
Desert lands, stretched seemingly far, hot, smoldering days, jaguars preying for their next ****
A land of opportunity, an apple started it all, created to be a distraction, caused a different protocol
The sun, the moon;our planets unite, with bright stars in between them, that outshines any light
Our world, spinning, glowing in  his love, true universe was created from the heaven's above

Love Come Down
I loved him so much, I gave him my heart
Torn and abused, we fell apart
Lost in sorrows, pain, and fear
Growing, fighting, loving year after year,
I became depressed and lost control
My life was in shambles, and so was my soul
I took a leave to clear my head, get out the house,
get out the car, get out of my bed
Lost for words, I don't know what to say or do, all I know is that I really miss you
I want to text you or call you right now, but I know that I have got something better to do
It's me, myself and I, that I want back, nothing you can give me can ever touch that
We've seen the ups and downs of a relationship, now it's time for us to really live
Give up those secrets, lies, and bad decisions, all that stuff in the past, we should have forgiven
I lost myself in trying to be your girl when all along I just wanted to be in your world
The love isn't lost, it's just on a break
Taking time away from the drama that sometimes we create
I want to be with someone that knows how to treat me
Loves me just as I am with all my beauty and flaws
No time for Mr. Right, I will take the one in the back leaning against the wall
I like a real brother, who will catch me if I fall and leave me a message just because he missed me
I know it sounds unreal, but it's the simple things that we're missing and need

My Bears
Not all bears are brown
Some are white with black button noses
And some are grey with brown button noses
Others are an assortment of greys, blues, and yellows, like the rainbow
My bear is brown, with a brown button nose
He has brown eyes and fuzzy hair
I love my bear so much, that now I have two more
My bears are soft and cute
They have smiles in their eyes
My first bear wears a grey suit, with tied, black shoes
He is so classy and cool
My second bear wears a sailor suit, with a matching hat
And my third bear, I dress him in beachwear, because he loves the sun
All of my bears are special to me and give me hugs and kisses whenever I need them
But most of all, what I love about my bears, is that they are brown just like their momma bear

Our Town
Cowboy dreams
Poor girl screams
Lick the cuts at the seams
Stained jeans, rivers and streams
Run through this town as much as it please
Parched thirst, rumbling in the dirt
Gathered crowds watches until someone gets hurt
Spit fire, horses at rest, all is calm
It is time to retire(Country town retires)

Black Beetle(funny poem)
******* beetle crossed my path
So many legs I forgot to do the math
Watched him crawl into my shoe
Waited for him to come out, guess he stuck like glue
Scared, tense, I'm not myself
Shaking, Lay my controller on top of my shelf
I hope I see him before I go to sleep
Ain't nobody living in my room for free
See his head peep out, "I got you now!"
Try to run and hide from this karate- chow!
I'm screaming and talking junk to this big ugly thing
Got me twisted, if you think I am playing
What now? Beetle? Whatcha gonna do?
Lay there, rest in peace til I bury you
For my middle child, Daniel💕

Daddy Blues
Playing instruments with his
hands
Stretching tones, foot pedal to the drum stand
Watching my father play his blues, I catch a smile, the number one clue
He romances the keys of the piano with his long fingers, gliding so swiftly
A boom- tap, tap for the drums he hits, gives a quick spin of the cymbal, then tap hi-hat
Pow-boom, boom the room is shaking, from all the sounds of music he's making
I clap along, this beat sounds good to me
I am his audience, he is my melody
I did this for my son, who hardly plays his trumpet. Lol😂

Patience
There are times when I just sit
Waiting, watching, and listening
Catching up on all the times, I missed my own silence

Cut off
Cut off
Cut away
Not open to the pain

Give up
Give in
Make the changes, required to win

Leave a trace, of the past
Go the distance, trust your path

Guard your heart
Protect your mind

All good things come in due time

A Day at the Beach
Cool gentle breeze, waves crashing upon the sand, leaving a lasting impression
Small, wobbly creatures pop up thru the ground, plastic shovels& pails that were never found
Sun lit  clouds and wonderous skies
Dark colored sunglasses for my eyes
A day at the beach, life's golden treasures, wrapped in love by our dear creator

Kinda
Kinda'

Kinda' wanna start this whole day over
    I feel heavy, kinda like a rock over a cliff, a boulder
On my shoulders, this pandemic
Got me down
    My words have hidden, in dark corners of my mind
I can't see them, until my inner light begins to shine
Until then I will lay here and rest
Giving me time to recoup for my best
Foot forward, pressing on towards my goals
Times are changing, but for whom does the bell tolls
Social distancing, six feet apart,
"Spread your legs", "get my ID out the car"
No flu signs, coughing dry, my heart is heavy from so many death goodbyes
Support black, support local,
Trying to stay afloat, with all the slack
Leash on life takes a turn for the worst, hoping my protective bubble never burst
If it does, the air will slip away, and I will have blown another day

I surrender
I lay my open hands before thee
My dear, and Sovereign  God
I place my feet before thee
With nowhere else to run
Not hiding from my pain anymore
I cry out my sorrows and anger
For now my broken, calloused heart
Is unnoticeable, even to  me
I know the scriptures and all your names, it's not hard to believe
For all the times you've been there
I was constantly being deceived
My mind, my body, and my soul
They ache painfully to be renewed
But I must make a real- life changing choice to give my life to you
I have wronged so many times and done the unknown
But you know all my ***** secrets, Lord
And yet you keep me here
Safe, and blessed beyond measures,
And yet I am met with this great fear
A fear of not knowing where I am  going when I depart this earth
A fear of losing my life, to some ungrateful ****
A fear I can only hold, as a reminder of what's next(present in my girth)
To leave this world as I found it, only at it's best
To give, to share, and testify, my love for Christ does not rest
And even when I'm gone and no longer here, I hope that some remember
How faithfully I surrendered

First Night Home
First night home

Love at first sight, their eyes so bright
Lit up a room, like candle in the night
In awe of their sweet smiles and tiny feet, they sleep close to our chest remembering every heart-beat

Long days and shorter nights, we get no sleep, up and around the clock  they Continue to eat
Trials and error of lost appetite, singing soothing  lullabies to calm them thru the night

Finally, hope for those with no sleep, lying in  the hallway for a quiet retreat
Baby wore them down and tired them out, that's what parenting is all about!

This is me
See me, for me, and not for what you think I should be
I have long, curly hair, brown and golden highlights
Long lean legs and my mama's thighs
Bountiful, of beauty rolled into a Twix bar, caramel mix
All of me and what you see is what you get
Not a tad more, till I check out your receipts
I am not the girl next door, looking, begging for sugar
Bringing my own table, so please don't get it twisted
I check my attitude before my feet hit the floor and wait
for a gentleman to open my door
Not your usual Betty-Jane, or Around-the-way chick
I pack and leave and take my own trips
No time for drama  and dead-end conversations rally up some
smooth intellectual vibrations
I get it, you like me and that's okay
I like you too, but let's get one thing straight
My life is precious, just as yours  might be and I have no time
for insecurities
We can talk, and go out, let's see how this goes and take things
slow, wait it out
After all, we're just finding out what life's all about
My love goes deep, not sure if yours do, and I have to be sure
that games stay in the child's room
I'm not trying to be harsh, brutal and unfair, I care about people
and their welfare
See me for who I am and not for who you think I should be

— The End —
