Loving Pain

I gave you my whole heart,
But you only returned pain…
You brought me tears,
And left me full of shame…

You never appreciated what I gave,
All you thought about was your game..
I loved you with all my heart,
but you never cared…

But I’m still in love with you,
I’m still willing to take you back…
Because you still own this heart,
This heart you left with cracks!..

My Angel

My sweet beautiful angel.
Sent to me from above.
I am so grateful to have found you,
and I give you all my love.

You must have come from heaven,
because you have pretty little angel eyes.
When you gaze at me with them,
my heart begins to fly.

Your sweet angelic voice,
continuously rings in my ears.
With you by my side,
there is nothing I fear.

Whenever we are together,
You shine with a heavenly glow.
Your beautiful angel face,
raises me up from feeling low.

Yes, heaven is missing an angel,
because you are here with me.
You’re my sweet, beautiful angel,
and I’ll love you for eternity!

My Special Angel

She’s always watching over me,
I feel her presence near,
She’s always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
She’s a very special angel,
One God choose just for me,
She was once my Mom here on earth,
But that wasn’t long to be.
God called her home one night,
My fear and rage did see the,
If He were a loving God,
Why take my Mom from me.
But in time I saw the plan,
He unveiled for me to see,
He had taken my Mom away,
But He gave her back to me.
There was only one thing different,
About this wondrous thing,
She just traded her faded house-dress,
For a halo and snow white wings.

Niece

Will you bring us happiness?
Or will you bring us pain?
Will the skies be baby blue or clouded up with rain?
These are questions we ask ourselves repeatedly
throughout the day
ever since we realized you were on you way.

Choose any day you wish from
the whole month of July,
when you decide your ready
we’ll all be standing by.

So you’ve chosen the month of August,
to us that is just as well,
take all the time you need,
we can’t wait to hear you yell.

Welcome to the world my fine young niece,
our fears and anticipation are gone.
I was convinced you’d bring us happiness,
I’m glad I wasn’t wrong.

She is an angel

An Angel is what she is to me
That’s what she was truly meant to be
As her time on earth has past
Her memory will always last

She was put to the ultimate test
Now it’s time for her to rest
So as she goes
Heaven only knows

That she was more
Than you or me
Because an Angel is what
She was truly meant to be

Slow Tears

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I’ll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you’re always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don’t have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you’ve said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

The Undertaker

The Spirit Of The Undertaker,
Lives Within The Soul Of All The Mankind,
The “Eternal Flame” Of Light,
That Cannot Be Extinguished,
The Origin Of Which Cannot Be Explained,
The Answer Lies In The Everlasting Spirit,
Soon All The Mankind Will Witness,
The Rebirth Of The Undertaker….

When tomorrow starts without me

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked
through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said “This is eternity,
And all I’ve promised you.”
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

Why Angels Have Come

Angels have come to bring with them,
In thought and deed and, also, hymn
The message of God and His wisdom great
His love, His wants for all our fate.
They bring on high their protection strong
To guide us all when things go wrong
To teach us patience when none exists
To help us see what blindness missed
To help us hear what deafness hides
To help us feel what touch denies
To give us peace when fightings ’round
To fill us with love when hates abound
To encourage the feeling of a want to give
A feeling with which we all should live.
So in this season’s darkest night
Within our souls doth shine a light
To warm us with forgiveness and sharing
And with compassion and, also, caring.
All these are sent from heaven divine
For the Angels have brought them,
‘Tis God’s Design.
