You let your guard down,
And I see in your smile,
A glimpse of the softness deep within,
That you try so hard to hide.
You pretend to be tough,
I suppose it’s the macho thing to do,
But deep inside your yearn for love,
For someone to accept you.
You try to mask your gentle side,
You pretend you don’t need anyone,
But if the truth be known,
You hunger for love just like anyone.
It is okay to care you know,
It is okay to show your emotions’
It is okay because it shows that you are human.

Can I?
Rain drops pitter, patter on the roof,
As I look into your eyes,
The touch of your gentle caress,
Makes me want so much to forget,
The crazy world outside.
When you say that you love me,
Do you really mean it,
Or is it just another lie?
Is this love reunion,
Or another betrayal?
Can I trust you to be true?
If I give you my heart,
Will you protect it?
Or will you just tear it apart,
And leave me standing in the dark?
My heart wants to receive you,
I want so much to believe in you,
Can I?

For the Love of Money
She plays the dutiful wife,
she pretends that everything is all right,
But alone in her bed at night,
she wonders who she is fooling.
He doesn’t love her,
He doesn’t really care.
The big house, the expensive car,
the money in the bank,
Does nothing to ease her loneliness,
or to make up for the fact,
She has lost him to someone else
and she cannot win him back.

The big house, the expensive car,
the money in the bank,
Does nothing to ease her loneliness,
or to make up for the fact,
She has lost him to someone else
and she cannot win him back.
She cries herself to sleep at night,
And wonder what she is doing wrong,
why she lies alone each night,
while another woman has her man.
Sometime she wants to leave him,
but it is really hard to do,
She has become too accustomed to living,
this life of luxury.
It would be easy to leave him,
but not the money, the big house or the car,
So she suffers silently
and tells herself,
You just can’t have it all!

Believe in Yourself
My post for today is a re-post of the poem believe in yourself.
Believe in yourself,
And what you can be,
And not what others,
Think that you are,
Believe in your dreams,
And what you can achieve,
If you work towards your goal,
Believe in tomorrow,
And the hope that it brings,
With the dawn of each new day,
Believe in love,
And the one that you love,
The person you know him to be,
But the most important of all of these,
Is that you believe in you.
I thought I would re-post this poem after reading an article a few days ago where a twenty-three year old nurse from Guyana committed suicide by drinking poison after having some love issues with her partner. I couldn’t help think, what a waste of a young life! The message to all of this is, put no one above you. Love yourself! Reach for the stars and maybe you can’t touch them but at least take the time to see all the things that are positive around you. Life is precious don’t let it go to waste!
Live Life To The Fullest {By Shirley M Powell}
One never knows what tomorrow will bring,
So live life to the fullest today.
Enjoy the treasures that God has given
And never give into dismay.
Don’t let dark clouds get you down,
Be happy and carefree in mind.
Each cloud has a silver lining
That you must search for and find.
Always look for the good in others
And life will be happier for you.
Goodness and love will always make
Dark skies seem brighter and blue.
Love each other as God has loved you
And peace will be yours to share.
Know that whatever tomorrow brings
Will find you safe in God’s care.
Thought For Today
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the Godly. He protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked. {Psalm 146 V 8&9}
My Child I Made You Different
Oh Lord I am so thankful
Each and every day
For loving me the way I am
Enough to gentle say
“My child I made you different
Than anyone else on earth,
So don’t compare your talents
With others to find worth.
“And when you fail or make mistakes,
I’m here to hold your hand,
To dust you off and dry your tears
And give you strength to stand.
“I have a plan and purpose
Designed for you alone.
My word will lead and guide you
Until I call you home.
“So do not be discouraged,
Have faith and trust in Me.
Abiding in My counsel,
I’ll meet you every need.”
