Me

I barely noticed the deep scar on her neck. The chipped crooked teeth that overlapped like giant mountains was nothing more than a fleeting thought in my mind. Her rough, raspy voice… None of it took away from the beauty of those captivating eyes staring… Staring at me with the grace of two Eagles tangoing on Cumulus clouds to the rhythm of light gust, cutting through my tough exterior and bringing warmth to my cold soul. Yesterday, I would have turned my lips up in disgust… Today, I smile. God has made us all beautiful… What changed? Me.

Either you are..or you’re not

No Tears

I’m going to love you while you live
pray for your loved one’s when you say goodbye
drop to my knees and thank God in Heaven for putting you my life,
but I won’t cry…
because there is no need for me to shed tears of sorrow while our love is still alive
no need for me to be consumed by sadness while our souls are still intertwined
no need for me to feel hopeless because God has called you to be by his side…
besides, our separation is only temporary
and I still have our love and the memories of happier times…
of course I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t miss you,
but don’t expect me to cry.

Enough

I’m smart enough to understand the ancient Hieroglyphs on the wall.
I’ve enjoyed enough blessings to know I’m loved.
Seen enough bad times to stay humble when I’m blessed.
Met enough good people to know the world isn’t as bad as they say.
Experienced enough love to know that it’s worth the risk of being hurt.
Fell down enough to be confident in my ability to get up.
Said goodbye to enough family and friends to know living life is not something that can wait.
Foolish enough to believe dreams come true if you stay true to your dreams.
Appreciative enough to embrace waking up yet another day.
Appreciative enough to understand how beautiful you are.
Appreciative enough to be thankful for your presence in my life.
Man enough to tell you I love you.
Man enough to tell you I love you……
