This is a place for my random thoughts and musings. Enjoy..
The Other Rule
Some people say live by the Golden Rule (treat others like you want to be treated). Others stand by the Platinum Rule (treat others like they want to be treated). Me, I’m trying to live in the light of God which means do your best to treat everyone as a child of God regardless of how I want to be treated, how they want to be treated, or how they’ve treated me.
Love Is Always The Answer
Like a Lady
Beauty is all around us,
but because beauty carries herself like a lady
she often gets overlooked.
Maybe if she was
self centered
arrogant
always sought attention, or
constantly did outrageous things
to be noticed
we would acknowledge her presence.
But then again,
if she did those things
she wouldn’t be beautiful,
now would she?
Work in Progress
When all is said and done,
I can only hope that my light outshines my darkness
that my heart is more revered and respected than my poetry
that the stage and the mic didn’t impede my ability to speak to your soul
that my words were delivered at just the right time to save you
that my humility was greater than my arrogance
that my humanity was greater than my selfishness
that my willingness to give was greater than my greed
that my actions showed you how to see love even in the darkest moments
that I was able to demonstrate to you just how worthless self pity is and how powerful you are,
and that my truth was actually truthful…
When all is said and done,
I can only hope that my three boys know that success to me
is being there for them as a father
is being the husband my wife deserves
is being the friend that supports my friends dreams
and fights by their side when they’re fighting against the devil
and his hell…
When all is said and done,
I can only hope that I became everything God intended me to be
when he created me in his image…
