I Can’t Walk For You

Posted on September 12, 2012 | 1 Comment

 
I can’t walk for you although I would
Even so, sometimes I wish that I could
I wish I could put my feet on yours to lead the way
Walk for you each and every day
But you wouldn’t be walking your path you’d be walking mine
Your journey would probably take a longer time
The Bible says train up a child in the way he should go
But it doesn’t say that he won’t walk to and fro
You have to walk your path and stand upright
Let’s just hope that your soul won’t be taken before it gets right
You have to lead where your children will ultimately follow
Let’s just hope for you, you’ll change your tomorrow

Dropping Something In Your Spirit

Posted on April 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

I want to drop something in your spirit
Will you listen? Will you hear it?
I want to tell you about where you’re going
Don’t get confused by what the journey is showing
Know that you come from royal blood
Although right now you’re just a bud
But as the sunlight and the rain makes you grow
Consider the Lilies in the field as the seeds that you sow
Know that your destiny is far greater than you can see
So don’t move forward in uncertainty
Let your feet be sure in the steps that you take
Let your spirit guide the decisions that you make
Look back for only a moment from whence you came
 Use it as a GPS to direct you away from the heartache and pain
Dare to have courage in all that you do
And let your dreams be the thing that you always pursue
I want to drop something in your spirit
Will you listen? Will you hear it?

Thirty Day (Review)

Posted on August 12, 2011 | Leave a comment

What a good and thought-provoking story. I found that I was questioning myself throughout the book: Am I living a lie? Am I living the life that I think I should? I love books that spark something in me causing me to dig deep. Like you, I too believe that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. A lesson is a lesson is a lesson. It’s all about what one does w/that lesson that matters. Kori just needed to sit herself still and be by her dang on self for a minute. & stop falling for them damn red bones…(I’m not bitter, really. I love being brown…LOL).
After reading that, the nuggets I’m walking away with are: be grateful, be thankful, my situation may not be as bad as someone else’s, but it’s mine, confront your issues head-on – no matter how painful, trust yourself and have faith because GOD has a plan for you and it will manifest itself when you allow him to do so.
Kudos to you my friend!

Power To Change Your Path

Posted on July 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

Your path is a result of the foundation once laid
It is the journey from which the bed that you’ve made
A boy not ready to take steps to becoming a man
A wandering soul without a conscious plan
A dampened spirit effected from actions caused
The rules were broken as well as many different laws
Your actions speaks volumes to the uncertainty of what you’re worth
Somehow your crown got switched shortly after birth
Misconceived thoughts of what to do to maintain
One would think it is an unreadiness to be prepared when seasons change
It becomes the new once again wishing for the old
That type of wishful thinking can lead you out into the cold
It is the opposite to a Mother’s ritualistic prayers
Spiritual words spoken because she genuinely cares
Longing for your path to take on a new direction
Seeking guidance from a higher Power asking for your protection
Waiting for a sense of peace from knowing what is to come
Your self-inflicted struggles gave her the invitation to feeling numb
She decides to hand you over to a Power higher than all
That Power will be there to catch you when you fall
It is that same Power to help you change your path
She looks forward to the day she no longer cries but laughs

>No Longer Defined By The Past

Shall we be defined by the path that we no longer take
When we turn back from our previous journey is man allowed to judge our past mistakes
Shall we be charged today with contempt from the ruling of our peers
Why? When our prayers to a higher power they are not worthy to hear
Shall we continuously be judged from one year to the next
For experiences so old they truly have lost their effect
Surely for who we are now we will not be slain
Not given in to slander nor responded to with pain
When will the time come to uplift and lend our support
Rather than responding by giving a negative report
When will we learn to stay in our own lane
And try not to assassinate each other’s character by trying to defame
Life is not about who has done the most dirt
Or to see how many lives can be torn down and hurt
But about each of us individually growing to a higher level
Not spitting venom on one another and acting like the devil
We have got to learn how to take another approach
Learn how to forgive and do away with our reproach
For it is not us, who others must answer to in the end
For it is the Creator in whom their lives they must commend
