Let me cook, iron and clean
Let me explore, let me dream
Let me kiss and comfort you
Let me do just what I do

Today I saw an owl
Or did he see me?
For I looked outside the window
And saw him sitting in a tree

How much in our life do we copy/paste and what is the effect of it?
You can copy/paste pictures, my energy, my attitude, my emotions, my spiritual growth… but what is it about copying?
You have the choice in life what you choose to copy and paste if any.

I've heard people say they "Found God"
You didn't find God, because God was never lost
You say, you lost your wallet, or you lost your keys…
You didn't lose your keys, you misplaced your keys
...

Relationships start off like oh so right
Making love damn near every single night
Dancing, the movies, going out bowling
Cracking so many jokes, I'm on the floor rolling
...

Yes I said it - The Dressless, cause what are they really wearing?
It's practically nothing. Should it be called "Clothes for Hoez? "
But why do they dress less? Is it for attention, is it insecurity, is it they lack confidence, is it cute, is it tacky, is it sexy, is it to "fit in, " is it misleading, is it enticing…?

Welcome to December. A joyful, jolly month. A month of happiness, beautiful lights, decorations, positive vibes, excitement, gift giving, peace on earth and love. Yes, this is the right time and this is the right season. A season of endings, out with the old and beginnings, in with the new. End the year strong and begin the new year even stronger.

I have decided the gift to myself this Christmas is to start doing right, not just in some areas, but in every area of my life. And how I will do that is to maintain a right attitude, stay on the right path with the right frame of mind, right my wrongs, have the right perspective and outlook on life, live right, eat right and do what is right by God.

The caterpillar she crawls around and around
Wondering when he'll come home to lay his head down
She cooked and cleaned and is awaiting for he
But there with his caterpillar, he'd rather not be
...

The strength of a woman should not be taken for granted
Nor should it be misunderstood
It is not that she can't, for she has proven she could
...

Why should you miss me?
When I was there were you aware?
Aware that I exist or was I someone you chose to dis?
Dismiss from your sight and out of your space
...

Yes, the government was unprepared
Brushed it off and didn't care
Dropped the ball, was slow to act
They knew ahead and that's a fact
...

Alright listen, when it comes to relationships and marriages
There are NO rules and do's
There is a way to win, yet you choose the way to lose
...

You careless, reckless, inconsiderate person
You show no regard for human life, for another life, for even your life.

What's going on in your mind, peace is hard to find
...

How much more can we stand
To witness the killing of "Another Black Man? "
Walking with a friend, these two meet
Words were spoken, get the "F" out the street
...

Black Man, Black Man - Why do you kill yo Brother Man?
I don't want us known or considered as "Less Than"
Black Man I'm asking you, please don't kill your Brother
Don't you know that when you kill there will never be another?
...

With or without a screen, everything I need is in between.
Beaten with rainwater and filled with air bubbles is my door.
A home filled with peace will never bring trouble.

This morning when I awoke and before I got dressed
I decided to myself to simply just wear less.

There are times when many of us overdress and others wonder why we are all stuffy and stank with our mood and attitude. It is because on those days you wore worry, anger, insecurity and could it be bitterness, stress, confusion, doubtfulness and uncertainty?
...

A child with no praise causes these kind of days

Your words are often micromanaged
Yet your rants and raves are never challenged
...

Is vision without seeing
Is hearing without talking
Is feeling without touching
Is longing without lusting
...

How do I love after the hurt
When my heart was shattered into pieces in the dirt
How do I begin to move out of my past
And love someone else thinking this too shall last
