This sinner's prayer

LORD,
I'm just a sinner, please spare my soul

Please help me to go to the place where the streets are gold
And tears no longer flow

Please fill me with all the pleasures your love and grace brings
and rid me of my love for all the worldly things

The Gucci, the Prada, and the Grey Goose Vodka

Take the pearls, my girls
and anything else that makes my head swirl

Talke it all and leave me with only you
Lord I'm asking you to make me brand new

Jesus, I'm sin-sick,
but I know you can heal me
when its you I pick
and dear LORD, its you
I pick.

Love 101--Marriage


I wanna keep you in all my plans
forever you'll be my man
Life seems like a long time
if you're in prison....

but life with you is my mission

I wanna please you
complete you
and forever be by your side
I wanna commit to you
submit to you
Give you all I have inside
be your lady
have your babies
name my oldest son after you
no more maybe's
more yes baby's
I wanna live my life with you
doing all I'm suppose to do
to be the best wife for you
because you deserve
all I have to give to you

No-name brand shoes

The other day I bought my first pair of
No-name brand shoes
That is something I thought I would neva do
They all bright white and brand new
I ain't gonna lie,
I'm happy I got a new pair of shoes
I wore them while I walked with my kids at the park
My dogs sang instead of barked
(I guess they were happy I got rid of those $100 Nike's
I held dear to my heart)
I thought I would be embarrassed
to wear a pair of No-named brand shoes
But instead I was appreciative
to have a pair of shoes that were new
Since I've had kids, new things come
far, few in between
broke parents know what I mean
So every time I put on my No-named brand shoes
I'm not embarrassed I'm appreciative
Because now my feet feel brand new.

I am Superwoman

I am Superwoman because
in a single bound
I can make a smile out of a frown

because....

bad moments roll of my chest
like bullets off a bullet proof vest

because....

I can cook a tasty meal
take care of the kids
and still have energy to
give my husband something he can feel

because....

I can smell bullshit coming
like Ray Charles could hear
a hummingbird humming

because....

I can tear down a person's brick wall
without using my hands at all

because....

I can balance being
a mother, a wife, and a friend
all on one hand

because.....

I know although I'm just one person
I can help God give many blessings

I am Superwoman
because without me
there could not be
a Superman

Obama Mama

A black working mama
that supports Barak Obama
not a traditional voter
But her male image
stands before her
A good man
A just man
A strong man
and she had to change her plans
had to get on a ball
and get involved
Had to stand for something
So that maybe now she could have something
So that her kids can grow up to be something
something she never had a chance to be
So that her dreams can be
tangible
achievable
believable
Obama Mama knows its time for a change
and she feels Barak Obama can do the damn thang!

I am an Obama Mama

Go Barak!!!!!
