Hello Blackplanet and welcome to my little space on this here planet. My time on BP has been of mixed feelings. The information highway has changed alot of people and their characters, many for the good but others, what can i say. I have met some great people over the years (some I don't keep in touch with as much as I would like to) and I met some folks and had to ask myself "why?". But I pick up the pieces and move forward. There are some that have special place in my heart and you know who u are(before the blackplanet days)

I have been through many trials and tribulations and yet I still STAND, to give Thanks to my CREATOR above. I am a positive, easy-going, strong black sista, that knows what she wants and knows what it take to get it.

I have three beautiful children and they are my joy when there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel and are the reason I breathe.

Welcome to my Poetry Corner. Here you will find some poems that touch me in some way or another that I wanted to share with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


Sometimes I Cry



Sometimes when I`m alone I Cry

Cause I am on my own

The tears I Cry are bitter and warm

They flow with life but take no form

I Cry because my heart is torn

I find it difficult to carry on

If I had an ear to confide in

I would Cry among my treasured friend

But who do you know that stops that long

To help another carry on

The world moves fast and it would rather pass you by

Then to stop and see what makes one cry

So painful and sad it can be

And sometimes.....

I Cry

And no one cares about why.

Forget me Not



If you knew how much I hold you in my heart

You would understand I can`t stand that we are apart

I hold this light to pass to you

In hopes you`ll never forget my friendship is true

I stand here as I await the end of my journey

Making wishes that you`ll never forget me

I don`t know how long it`s been,

I don`t know how long it`ll be

I just want you to know that if you are ever in need

Just pick up the phone and call on me

I`ll never forget the times weshared...

Most of all never forget that I really do care

Don`t know how long, don`t know where to

Let`s just let this laughter continue....

A Mother`s Prayer



O God, I was so cross to the children today!

Forgive me. I was discouraged and tired---

and I took it out on them.

Forgive my bad temper, my impatience and most of all, my yelling, I am so ashamed as I think of it.

I want to kneel down by each of their beds, wake them up and ask them to forgive me.

They wouldn`t understand. I must go on living with the memory of this awful day, my unjust tirades.

Hours later, I can see the fear in thier eyes as they scurried around, trying to appease me---

thinking my anger and maniacal raving was their fault.

O God, the pathetic helplessness of children.

Their innocence before the awful monster---

the enraged adult.

And how forgiving they are---

hugging me so fervently at bedtime, kissing me goodnight.

All I can do is straighten a cover, touch a small head burrowed in a pillow and hope with all my heart that they will forgive me.

Lord, in failing these little ones whom you have put in my keeping. I am failing you.

Please let your infinite patience and goodness replenish me for tomorrow.
