A REAL WOMAN
I am a woman of substance. I walk with pride.
I have a style of my own. My elegance comes from inside.
I hold my head high; not ashamed of my past.
I am a real woman; a real woman at last.
No one knows the pain I've been through.
No one knows how I've suffered too.
I am a real woman. I can survive this race.
I can keep it together, and keep a smile on my face.
A real woman; strong and wise.
I ignore the jealousy; I ignore the lies.
I'm real, and very true from the heart.
I'll let you know this from the start.
Surviving the worst, and taking care of my needs.
I am a real woman; a real woman indeed.
SINCE GOD CALLED YOU HOME
Things haven't been the same,
since God called you home.
My life is empty without you.
Sometimes I feel all alone.
In an instance, you were gone.
Your presence was erased.
No one can ever fill your shoes.
You can never be replaced.
It's different; very different,
not having you here.
I often think of you.
I often shed a tear.
It hasn't been too long,
since God took you away.
I just want you to know,
that I miss you more each day.
It's not easy letting go.
It's so hard saying good-bye.
But everyone must leave this world;
for each of us must die.
So, I'm not angry. I'm not upset;
because this too shall pass.
I will see you again some day;
when my time is up at last.
I'll cherish the moments we shared.
I will always remember you.
I'll keep you alive in my heart;
and in everything I do.
WHERE IS THE LIGHT?
Walking in darkness, I can't see the light.
Walking in fear, nothing seems right.
Overwhelmed with pity, and drowning in shame.
Looking around for someone to blame.
Why me? Why am I suffering so much?
Why am I, so out of touch?
Walking in darkness, I can't see the way.
Tempted by Satan, day after day.
Running from the pain inside.
Looking for a place to hide.
Searching for my identity.
Forced to face reality.
Walking in darkness, I can't see the end.
Walking in circels, again and again.
Praying for some inner peace.
Hoping for my problems to cease.
When will I, see the light?
When will I, be alright?
