Great Is He! A Great Father… A Great Man!

Great is he who is working hard to be a great father, a great man
Building a reputation as a good person always offering a helping hand
Loving his wife and treating her like the queen she truly is
Being there as a role mode and active in the life of his kids

Great is he who gets up and makes it happen day after day

And still manages to smile thru the storms life throws his way
Being the head, the provider, and the protector of his house
A family-oriented man who is a loyal, dedicated spouse

Great is he who admit he’s not perfect and makes mistakes
But always gives 100% some times more if that’s what it takes
Standing up and being the man God called him to be
While letting his light shine brightly for the world to see

Great is he who does his job quietly while seeking no fame

Wanting only good things to be associated with his name
He’s had many happy moments and some that made him sad
But one of his greatest accomplishments is being called a great dad

Great is He! A Great Father… A Great Man!

My True Essence

Don't Come For Me...

So I hear you are talking about me all over town

Girl, don’t mess around and get your ass beat down

You don’t even know me so why are you saying my name

Just spreading lie after lie about me with no shame

Telling folks you stole my man because I didn’t treat him right

That I’m a crazy chick, stuck up and uptight

Well for the record he was FWB never my man

I let him go because he wasn’t a part of my  plan

So keep my name out of your mouth and do what you do

Next time, don’t come for me unless I send for you

Changing Your Filter

 

Changing the oil filter in our car every few months keeps it running nice and smooth. Just like our car needs maintenance, we (our hearts, our bodies, our minds) need maintenance. We need to filter out all of the negative things and people causing us unnecessary stress and drama. We need to add a new filter of positive people and things that inspire, uplift and support us. Have you changed your filter lately...

Loves Ball and Chain

When did love become like an old ball and chain

Why is it considered the main cause of so much pain

Is it because we don’t love the people we should

Or is it because we love the people who mean us no good

How can you give love when your heart is nailed to the ground

Or how can receive love when your heart is nowhere to be found

Love shouldn’t have you feeling heavy hearted or weighed down

It shouldn’t have you feeling like you are drifting at sea about to drown

If you want to experience true love, start by unlocking the chain

Throwing away the heavy ball causing your heart so much pain

Opening yourself up to giving and receiving all that love throws your way

Experience a love that goes stronger and gets better every day

My True Essence

Thank You for My Mother

Lord, I thank you for my amazing and loving mother
The love I have for her can’t be measured because it’s like no other
It’s the unconditional kind of love that lives deep down in my heart
It’s a bond, a connection nothing can destroy it or tear it apart

My mother has always been very supportive of me
She encouraged me to do well and to be all I could be
She gave me guidance and advice while still allowing me to grow
When I didn’t listen and made mistakes, she didn’t say  “I told you so”

One of my fondest memories of her goes back to when I was a child
Of her looking at me with those big dimples and beautiful smile
She was always pleasant and smiling no matter what she was going thru
She worked hard to take care of her family as all good mothers do

I also remember her standing at the stove cooking my favorite meal
She’d cook and I’d set the table that was our little deal
Her famous chicken and rice was and still is her specialty dish
To be able to cook like her was always my wish

When I started playing sports, she’d come to my games to see me play
When my first love broke my heart, she hugged me and told me it would be ok
When I was teased because of my bad skin, she told me I was beautiful every day
And when I started smelling myself and acting grown, she still loved me anyway

She has always been there for all the important events in my life

My prom, graduations, the day my husband took me his wife

The birth of my child where I almost didn’t make it and died

And when I first held my baby in my arms and cried

She has taught me so much thru the years
To be strong and independent, not afraid to face my fears
To thank God for everything and to count my many blessings
She was there to help me thru all of my life lessons

Even at 62 years old, she is still in good health and looking good
If I could give her anything she has ever dreamed of, I would
But no matter how hard I try, I can never thank her for all she has done
Lord, I just thank you for giving me the prefect one
