SMOOTH IS THE WAY I FLOW

AND EVERYWHERE I GO

THEY KNOW I'M GONNA STOP THE SHOW

WHEN I STEP THROUGH THE DOOR

AND ONTO THE FLOOR

AND WHEN I GIVE GOD THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE

I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE EYEBROWS RAISED

THEY SAY WHO IS THIS SISTA SO BLESSED AND ANOINTED?

WHY HAS SHE BEEN CHOSEN AND APPOINTED

TO DO GREAT THINGS IN HIS NAME?

I'M GONNA TO GIVE HIM THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE

I'M NOT ASHAME

I'M GONNA TO GIVE HIM THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE

THE QUEEN SPEAKS!!!!!


Peace & Blessings to my strong and real Brotha`s and Sista`s I don`t have time for the drama, nor do I believe in bringing drama to anyone else. Tolerance is small these days

Let me start off by saying to my Brotha`s, I give you much love and respect but in turn give us Sista`s the same. Not all of us are trying to get in your pocket and use you. Just because some of us are single mothers doesn`t mean we are looking for an instand daddy either. There are plenty of us who are trying to understand your struggles as a Black Man and want to be your strong arm. We know it`s not easy but you have to allow us to come in and help you. I`ve met some real down to earth Brotha`s thoughout my life that has enlightened me on how it feels to be a Black Man. Helped me to understand the pain, the anger. Now I only hope to enligten some of you who don`t understand a sista`s pain. It is hard loving you but we do it unconditionally.

Sistas, we know that every Brotha is not a dog and we need to learn how to recognize a DAWG when we see him. Let's try not to judge so quickly, yes we have all been hurt (TRUST ME I KNOW) but let's move on and heal our community.
We need to work together, our families are falling apart. Our communities are being shatterd and we are becoming extinct.

FORGIVENESS! 12/16/07 5:36 pm

Forgiveness is a great accomplishment, it is something that we all will have to learn at some point in our lives. Without forgiveness I would not have been able to find the happiness and love that I have in my life today. I am honestly happy to know that the person that has caused so much pain in my life has found happiness and I pray that it is true happiness that started within and not what he felt that another had to bring into his life. Although I never want to see or speak to this peerson again I am glad to know that he has moved on and has found happiness with this person because it was obvious that he and I were never meant to be. I only pray that he will treat her better and give her more respect that he gave me.

My life is so full and I am living it to the fullest without having the feeling of another person wanting to control my every move or word (which would never happen), feeling manipulated or treated as a posession. MY FREEDOM AND PERSONAL SPACE is a thing that I treasure and is important in my life. No longer having to spend my days worrying aboutnot having my friends and family around or just being the woman that I am. That is not love. Everyday since April 2006 I am thankful that he realized that HE WAS NOT READY FOR A WOMAN LIKE ME.

FORGIVENESS

****HOLDING ON**** November 11, 2007

(A MAMA SYL'S CREATION)

I FIND MYSELF HOLDING ON TO HIS ARM WRAPPED AROUND MY WAIST

A MEMORY NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN

AND I'M DREAMING, REMINISCING ABOUT THE TIMES WE LAUGHED

HIS FINGERS TICKLING MY SIDE

TRAVELING THROUGH MY LOCS

HOLDING MY HAND TIGHTLY

AM I WRONG TO WANT TO FEEL HIM CLOSE AGAIN?

WANTING TO STEP OVER THE BOUNDARIES OF FRIENDSHIP?

UNCERTAIN IF THIS SHOULD EVER BE

YET SURE THAT OUR HAPPINESS CAN BE FOUND IN ONE ANOTHER

I REMEMBER HIS PAINS AND FRUSTRATIONS

LEANING HIS HEAD ONTO MY SHOULDER FOR SLEEP

THE FEELING OF CONTENTMENT THAT I WAS ABLE TO OFFER HIM

ALLOWING HIM TO UNLOAD HIS HURT INTO MY HEART

ENGULFING HIS BROKEN, SHATTERED SPIRIT

GIVING HIM ENCOURAGEMENT AND INSPIRATION

I FIND MYSELF REMEMBERING MY FRIEND

THE ONE I'VE GROWN TO CARE FOR IN LOVE

WANTING TO SHARE THE FAMILIAR EMBRACE

IMAGINING THE KISS, NOT YET PLACED ON MY LIPS

INSTEAD ON MY HAND, MY ARM, SOFT

I FIND MYSELF HOLDING ON TO HIS ARM WRAPPED AROUND MY WAIST

HIS FEET KEEPING MINE WARM

HOLDING ON TO POSSIBILITIES
