I AM

I am a person of wisdom,
I am a person of faith,
I am a person of strength,
I am a person of confidence,

I am a mother,
I am a daughter,
I am a granddaughter,
I am a niece,

I am intelligent,
I am ambitious,
I am sophisticated,
I am humble,

I am thoughtful,
I am caring,
I am humorous,
I am grateful,

I am quiet,
I am warmhearted,
I am hopeful,
I am blessed.
Admire

Positive characteristics that stand out effortlessly

Admire is to wonder
Qualities about you stay in my mind...

I applaud you when you stand up for yourself.
I idolize you for showing true strength.
I praise you as you have a way of helping and giving to others.
I commend your efforts when things don't always go your way.
I appreciate your kind, encouraging words.
I hold dearly the moments when you made me feel good about myself.
I adore your funny personality.
I respect you for being original, just for being yourself.
Beautiful

Beauty is defined from within.

Sights pleasing to the eyes, exquisite, suave, and simple

Scents that may bring fond memories and relaxing thoughts

Spoken words of compassion, kindness in compliments

Listening to a delightful voice singing to mellow music

Touches that are soft, gentle, soothing to the fingertips
Blessing
(Haiku)
A precious unexpected gift received

godsend from above
embraced by an open heart
a miracles touch
Charisma
(Haiku)
Personal attributes in one that inspire others

new and exciting
a captivating presence
that speaks for itself
How Could You Do This?

What were you thinking?
To try and keep a secret from me,
And to think I wouldn't find out
Then say it's no big deal...

You have lied to me and our son
Saying you would never hurt me
That you would be there for me
But I had to find out your secret...

You said I was the only woman you loved...
So who is this other woman?
That claims she's your wife,
How could you be selfish and leave her?

This starts so many questions,
Yet not enough answers
Too many emotions being felt at once:
Anger, hurt, betrayal, feeling confusion...

I feel stupid and embarrassed,
To learn of your wife by my own mother
Not listening to others who warned me
And your son who's too young to understand

Knowing now there is no us
I need to move on, be on my own
I will have love for you always but not
The love I had before you broke my heart.
INSPIRATION CAN BE...

A collection of thoughts
Thoughts interpreted into
actions
Actions being seen through
words
Words that show different
emotions
Emotions that can show
feelings
Feelings we have felt and
shared
Shared with loved ones and
those who have touched us
Touched us in some way, good
or bad inside our hearts
Hearts in good spirits or that
have been torn and repaired
Repaired by words of creative
thoughtfulness
Thoughtfulness that comes
from deep within
Within the body, mind, and soul
Ambition
(Haiku)
An essential key to achieving your goals

Eagerness drives you
Desires feed energy
Powered by passions
Honorable
(Haiku)
An outstanding individual

The good work of one
By marks of recognition
Influence others
What Does Black History Mean To Me?

I couldn't imagine living during a time when rules were so strict
And the color of your skin created such controversy and conflict

If you were dark you were treated differently and unfair
By those who had no heart simply because they didn't care

We may have been called stupid or ignorant if we had no education
Times we tried to do something positive with ourselves we faced complication

Our ancestors have been through pain and suffering for so long
It amazes me what they've gone through- to me they were strong

Then came along the black brothers and sisters who paved the way
The inventors, creators, those who made their mark for us to stay

They didn't care what anybody said about the color of their skin
Moving forward they had hope, strength, motivation, and self-discipline

There are people who ask,"Is it really necessary to have a month to celebrate?"
Why not acknowledge African Americans who's contributions were more than great

In the present and even the future, what they did for society in the past
Will leave a mark for generations to come that will forever last

So if you have to ask, "What does black history mean to me?"
Well I can say that I have a better idea of what it means to be free!
                        Peace

               The word speaks for itself.

Patience during hardships can be difficult to achieve

Eliminate stress, anxiety, and negativity

Alleviate a lost or broken spirit

Composure of the mind puts you in a natural state

Equability in hopes and dreams of a better future
Justice
(Haiku)

Stand up for what you believe in.

We come together
in support of a good cause
to fight for what's right
                  Encourage

To give support when it's needed at the most.


Enlighten the heart with confidence

Nourish a spirit with good words

Contribute thoughts that will inspire

Ongoing support to keep you moving

Understanding struggles that arise

Restore hope to those who don't believe

Assure them that things will be okay

Guidance that will watch over you

Emphasis on efforts put in   
Kindhearted

Kindness when unexpected, leaves a lasting
impression.

Having compassion for those
less fortunate
A generous heart
lending a helping hand
To be understanding
and caring
In a time of need,
gentle and merciful of others
A good deed
that has been done
for one, will not be
forgotten by others
Thoughtfulness in giving
either a good word
Or a special gift
is always remembered
