Incomplete Without You

I am in control

That is what I would tell myself

But is that temporary high

Worth the damnation of my soul

If I was to drink myself to death

All of my good deeds, to get into heaven

Could not pay the toll

Not even to myself could I admit

That my need to drink

Is no better than a “crack head”

In search for a fix

It is so easy

To identify a drug addicts’ habits

But the way we are unable to see our addictions as clearly

Is a trip

In efforts to ease some deep rooted pain

My troubles, alcohol was used to help me briefly forget

And for a short period of actually feeling sane

But for it, my salvation I will not forfeit

How patient Our Father must be

To allow me the time to wake up and see

That I can only serve one God

And that one God is He

No matter what mistakes I have made

In my life’s journey

You still see my soul fit to be saved

Thank you Lord, for being my raft

So that I wouldn’t sink

Of what others will think

I am no longer paranoid

Because now I know

Only You can fill my void

Royalty

My child who is developing into a young lady

Know that you are beautiful and intelligent

How one can long for approval by man disturbs me

One thing that you should never lack

Is confidence

I know

From experience

Naturally we give openly

But to whom we should be giving

To most seems to be a mystery

So, easily we can lose sight

Become lost in things of the world

And make decisions that will guide us away from the light

We are God’s children

Although compliments are nice to hear

In order to feel worthy, man should not have to mention

Know your self worth

Carry yourself as you should

And the fact that you deserve and demand respect

 Will never be misunderstood

So take your place and kneel down before the thrown

And rejoice

To you, it is now known

Just why you should walk with your head held high

All of the tools to serve your life’s purpose, you possess

Your desires will not be denied

At birth He has placed a crown on your head

That made you more than His daughter

Remember to keep your soul fed

You can ensure your spot in His kingdom

As long as words of your faith and need for Him, out of your mouth, are said

Priceless, you are

And must realize

To our Father, our everything, and our all-in-all in the sky

Your true identity

Can not be denied

Lift your voice and sing

And never allow any man to treat you as less

By Our King

You were made a princess.

Dance My Child

Dance my child
Big or small
It doesn't matter, you can do it all
Moving and grooving, kicking and turning
The list doesn't stop to want these girls are learning

Dance my child
Swing your arms and move your hips
Your dancing can be as powerful as any words from your lips
Having pride and discipline in your art
Will teach you to focus in school, because you are smart
The way you move with such elegance and grace
I know you can over come any obstacle you face

Dance my child
Your rhythm is innate
Express yourself and know you are destined to be great
Let the joy of your heart
Flow through every body part
From the top of your head, to the point of your toes
From the curve in your back, to the sweat on your nose

Dance my child
With the passion of our ancestors
This trait of movements with song comes naturally, so you will only get better
From generation to generation
Set goals until you have reached your destination

There are no limits to what you can be
And rejoice
Because you have already begun
Living your dreams

DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN

I will no longer be afraid to dream
For so long, the simple thought
Of stepping out on faith frightened me
For my dreams to come true...
Impossible, it seemed
I had to realize that bracing to fall
Only hindered me

If I shut my eyes tight
Every time I decided to step forward
And take a chance
Trip or fumble, I just might
I can't waste any more time being afraid
Because life can end in just a glance
So an executive decision had to be made
And I had to have an epiphany

I am worth the shot
Of making all of my dreams come true
But I must put forth all the effort I got
And all of my ambitious thoughts, I must do

If I desire for any of my aspirations to become a reality
And if I hope to achieve my goals and have any luck
I can not leap towards my destiny
With my eyes being shut.
