The Good Old Days

Ahhhhh the good old days

How I miss them

Spending time with

Family and friends

Playing fun games like

Jacks, Hopscotch, Count 4

And many more

Going in the backyard

Playing horseshoes and volleyball

Playing tag and jump rope

Going to the park

Parents telling you to be home

Before it gets dark

Enjoying great movies

On TV and at the drive in

Dawn of the Dead, Karate Kid,Breakin

What fun we had

Dancing the coolest dances

Snakin, Whoppin and DC Walkin

Oh Yes

And we can not forget about the music

Run DMC, Salt &Pepa, Debbie Gibson

Tiffany, Beastie Boys and 3rd Bass

Boys groups

New Edition, New Kids On the Block

And Menudo

Can’t forget about Rock and Roll

Poison, Europe and Cinderella

I will always love heavy metal

The good old days I love them so

Playing video games

Atari and Nintendo

When all real talented women did

Was rap, sing and dance

With their clothes on

Awesome TV shows

Gimme a break, Facts of Life

A-team and Different Strokes

Do you remember the very

First music video ever

I do it was by the Buggles

When MTV really was

Music Television

Because they played

Music videos all day everyday

It was my dream to be a VJ

Rap City and Yo MTV Raps

Maaaannn these memories

Are taking me way back

Those days will live on forever

In my heart and they will never part

Holding them tight always

Here’s to the good old days

 

 

 

 

 

Not Just Another Day

Today is not just another day. It’s a new day to start something new, do something special! Who knows what today could possibly bring? Let’s be open to possibilities so that we don’t miss opportunities. I rather live with regret from failing but not from not trying. Fear has no place with me. Now that I have given a pep talk it’s time to act. Faith without works is dead.

Every Once In Awhile

You cross my mind

Every once in awhile

I wonder how you are

Hoping that all is well

After all this time

The feelings still feel new

There’s no shaking you

It’s no use

Or any substitute

Beside I don’t want to

For it’s what I choose

Like a natural piece

Of uncut diamonds

You are one of a kind

Not a knock off

Or a fake wanna be

You speak your mind freely

Not wanting to be in a relationship

But I would love to

Have the chance to show

You why I feel that

You are worth it

And it has nothing to do with sex

Yeap you crossed my mind

A couple times today

It made me smile

Yeap that happens

Every once in awhile

 

Unlovable

We have all been told

That there were times

Or will be times

In our relationships when

We seem to be unlovable

Completely intolerable

The condition seemed unsolvable

Still true love is unstoppable

Regardless of the problem always

Remember that God is in control

Even on the days

When we want to walk away

Not want to stay

Having to rely solely

On the love between

Us and our mate

To help the relationship to sustain

Holding on extra tight

To help the love

So it will remain

Making sure that nothing changes

We have to weather the storm

Tough times don’t last long

Sunny days will be reborn

We have to stay strong

Cause we already know

We are where we belong

Don’t want the love to be gone

Yes even on the days

When we seem unlovable

It is those days

We are required to love

One another more

This is for sure

It’s not about the easy stuff

It’s about the hard stuff

It makes us tough

Being able to endure much

Looking back on it

Like look at us

We are still together

Even after all the pain

And all the hurt

We did what it took

To make things work

It was so worth it

To be able to spend the rest of our lives

With the person who

God intended

There will be ups and downs

No matter how long

As long as the person

That we love see

How much they mean to us

Even on the days that they

Or we are unlovable

Know Your Worth

Through out the Bible 

There are instructions given

About how women

Are supposed to be treated

Genesis, Proverbs, Ephesians, 1Peter

Could it be made any clearer

It’s time to look in the mirror

And reevaluate

Making sure the same value

That’s placed on yourself

Are very high and it should

Be placed on your daughter

As well as someone else’s too

It’s important for them to know

That they are valuable

Take to time to read God’s plan

It’s the way that it is for a reason

Mostly for protection

Women are like a precious jewel

Or beautiful flowers

And should be treated as such

By ourselves and the ones

Who we choose to love

Let’s be careful

Not to make a mistake

If a man truly cares

He will wait

Make sure that he’s willing

To do what it takes

Because as women

We are great

Understand there’s much at stake

Don’t allow unhappiness

To be the fate

Because we deserve so

Much more

God has wonderful things in store

We must stay focused

Do things according to God’s plan

He knows what He is doing

Understand that God has a man

That He has that’s meant

To be our husband

It’s our God given

Right since birth

It’s already done

Always remember to

Know your worth

 

 

Abstinence

Yes he’s hot and yes she’s pretty but are they willing to wait? Sex is a heavy subject it can be talked about nonstop and it should be talked about and not avoided. Children shouldn’t be told to wait without having an understanding as to why. The Bible talks about it 1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;  plus there’s diseases, unwanted pregnancy etc still there’s so much more.

We are worth more than being a notch in a person’s belt there needs to me an understanding of worthiness by us and the person whose suppose to love us. It feels nice to be loved not lusted after and those two words tend to get mixed up. A lot of it has to do with being in a rush and that’s dangerous.It’s better to wait than to regret a mistake.

Intimacy is beautiful with the right person. Yes it’s for replenishing the planet but it shouldn’t be treated like using the bathroom it’s much more deeper than that.Not trying to get all preachy but isn’t it better to love the person that you are intimate with? It’s two souls coming together to connect in love.

When God tells us something it’s truly for our own good. The same way our parents tells us what’s right it’s for our protection.I would rather wait no matter how long it takes I’m trusting God to send the right one and He will. It will be one the best days of my life. I’m a precious jewel and you are too know your worth.
