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.

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

Real Love

The truest love comes

From Our Heavenly Father

Straight from above

Love here on earth comes

When one isn’t looking for

Nor expecting it

When it is found

There’s still work to be done

To keep it

Real love needs to be nurtured

Like a flower

Yet not smothered

True love will grow

If one allows it

A heart filled with love

Looks forward to tomorrow

Where there’s

Hope and happiness

When God is in it

It’s meant

When the right person

Comes along they will perfect

You won’t look for flaws

Because not one thing

Will be off

Real love matches

Publicly what’s done privately

Real love does not play games

With a person’s heart

Love mends where a heart

Has been ripped apart

It brings the strongest walls down

Makes past hurts drown

True love waits around

Real love stays faithful

It stays true no matter what

Someone else tells you

Real love shows maturity and strength

Nothing can penetrate it

Especially not any enemies

Nothing can break it

Because the people whose it’s

Between is fate

It can’t be persuaded

By a handsome or pretty face

Only place there to shout

About a mates mistakes

Real love is real

There’s no room for fake

No room to be confused

Real love is true

It embraces you

And doesn’t use you

You will recognize love

Because you will feel it

It’s a beautiful thing

When it’s true

Everyone deserves to have it

In time we all will have it too

So there’s no need to rush it

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pep Talk 101

Good Morning! Good Morning! Every day that you open your eyes give yourself a pep talk to boost the day like coffee. You don’t have to give a presidential speech just generate enough positive words can produce a tidal wave. Give yourself a pat on the back and yes it’s okay to toot your own horn. Besides God you and only you know about you. Yes in your life you have encountered bad things but do not stress too much about it because there have been positive things too. So don’t wait until your birthday to celebrate you give yourself that treatment everyday. You may not believe this but it’s so true one life touches another and that includes you! You are valuable.
