MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER

My beautiful daughter
You cannot know
How much my heart breaks
As I watch you grow
In time you’ll become
Independent and free
Always my daughter
And special to me
As you grow older
You will see
Through the eyes of a mother
Reflections of me
Past, present and future
All intertwined
My mother, your mother
All daughters you’ll find
Our reflections, not vanity
Mirrored lives we share
Always a daughter
Your mother, who cares.

YOUR NEW JOURNEY BEGINS

Therefore, the journey ends here,

With no fanfare, and no parade

Just a good by and good luck.

I did my job,

More like a labor of love

And now its time to let you go

If the life I gave, you did not suite your needs

Then I am sorry.

I gave all I had and more

It was a choice not a sacrifice

To give you the best life I could

I loved you from the moment I fount out about you

And will continue to love you after I am gone

You are my heart and soul

I could not be prouder of who you are

When times were a struggle I never felt poor

My life was enriched because of you

Threw the hard times and good times

Threw the laughter and tears

I would not change a moment

It is what has made you the strong, wonderful

Caring and loving person you are today.

So with that said

I say, goodbye my baby…

You have turned out to be a great MAN.

YOUR NEW JOURNEY BEGINS.

ALL DEBTS MUST BE PAID

When my white wings turned to black,

The realization was clear,

I've fallen out of favor,

When the light abandoned me,

As the darkness crept in all around me,

It lashed out and bound me in chains,

The predator sunk it's venom into it's prey,

Despair was it's poison.



When the happiness in my life was sapped,

And the sorrow flooded in,

I knew my life had been rendered a sin,

Even though I have been abandoned in darkness,

I still seek out the light.



My shackles and chains never were the type to shine,

They are in the mind and even though I can move,

I am as helpless as a child without it's mother,

Merely a prisoner without a warden,

Left in this jail to roam without an exit,

As the light in my soul fades to black,

So does the sparkle in my eye,

A fate accepted, a promise made,

In the end, all debts must be paid.

A WOMENS WORTH

You ask me what you’re worth –
I tell you -
“Look upon my hands.”
For scars that are there say more than words ever can.
You ask me what you’re worth –
I tell you –
“Look upon my head.”
For wounds that speak “I love you” is all that need be said.
You ask me what you’re worth –
I tell you –
“Look upon my side.”
For a sword was thrust, blood and water flowed so in me you could confide
You ask me what you’re worth –
I tell you –
“Look into my eyes.”
For all the love I feel for you I admit I can’t deny
You see- before the world was framed I knew you
I smiled when I looked upon your face
A beautiful little girl with eyes like mine, so full of love and grace
A smile that lit a dreary room – tears to reveal a tender heart
I knew I would pay any price so we would never be apart
I knew I could not live without you so I sought a way to you
And believe me daughter to win your heart there is nothing I did not do
Why do all this you ask me – why suffer so much pain?
Don’t you know you are worth more to me than any riches I attain?
You are of great value, for I created you and formed you with my hand
And then I placed in you a desire to know me and seek my wondrous plan
You have great worth my daughter, a high price was paid for you
For the enemy came looking and asked what I would do
How much would you pay?  What is she worth? The enemy at last did cry.
This is how much, how much she is worth-
I stretched out my arms and died.
