Ronette Latrice Poems

Splendor

What man can be a comforter, a Father, and a Friend? Not one, no not one.
...

Because you are blessed, you can hold your head high.
Because you are blessed, you can’t be denied.
Because you are blessed, the devil can’t take your joy from you

Lookin for Love in All the Wrong Places

When I should be looking up, I look in
When I should be looking up, I look out
When I should be looking up, I look around.

A friend is you; someone who always know what to say and what to do.
A friend is someone who you can call on at any time. A friend is willing to listen at the dropp of a dime. A friend shares in your victories and defeats, a friend also knows the right words to speak. A friend is someone who is always there, someone who you know cares.

A special friend that’s what you are, and no matter where I travel, you’ll never be far. You will always have a special place in my heart, I thank you for playing your part. Your part in my life was important for me, sometimes I think, without you, where would I be? Our friendship is more than words can say, that’s why I will always treasure you until my dying day.

Thoughts of anguish and despair
Feeling like no one cares.
Suicide, resentment, and hatred is what I feel.
But I know it’s not real.
...

Thoughts of you; simple, pure and true.
Teaching me in the face of adversary not to come unglued.
The good friend the Master put in my plan.
Thank you for holding my hand.
