Never depend on anyone
Always be true to thyself
Always understand that when it comes down to it
You are the only one
Know that no man will ever always be there
Know that they too are human
Guard you heart & soul
Know that words mean nothing if they come from
someone else
Be strong, independent & regal
Be stoic & sure
Be direct, honest & always fair
Love God first & then thyself
Because God is you & you are God
Always be true
You are the only one
The one that matters, the one that counts
Your Mom was always in front
Now she is behind
Watching you, looking at her work
Make her proud
Be the woman that she is
Never depend on anyone
Always be true to thyself
“Black Power”
The 60’s, oh they where great
They showed my generation how to fight
It’s the 90’s & where are my brothers & sisters of
yester year?
Where are they when my generation is getting
killed ?
Daily, weekly even hourly
Where are they?
Where is the guidance?
The guidance died with the movement
So what are we to do?
Fight on black brother & sister… fight on
“Mystery Man”
He comes to me in my dreams
I don’t know why
He never says what he feels
I don’t know why
He always makes me smile
I don’t know why
Why must his tar black hair, butter pecan colored skin
embrace me without a single touch?
Why must he make my heart flutter with his scent in my
air?
One day he will make his self known
He will not only be in my dreams
He will be in my life
I will feel his touch
The sensation will send my spirits flying
I will know what he wants & feels
He will be mine for always
My smiles will never cease
Because he is in my life
My mystery man will no longer be a mystery
He will be mine
How do you let the pain slip away
Does it ever leave
Does it ever ease
My heart yearns for someone to love
But never someone who feels the same
I look for you, but you never come
I’m looking for someone to love
Why can’t you be here with me now?
When my heart is in so much pain
My life never seems to ease
There is always some form of pain
Pain that never seems to ease
I’m yearning for someone to love
So where are you?
Losing Aunt Dorothy
Dorothy Lumpkin Wier was my only aunt. To me she represented a strong woman who could out think, out wit and overcome any obstacle. Fall of 1994 I was told she had pancreatic cancer and that her chances of survival were not good. In fact I was told that she was not going to survive.
After I recovered from the initial shock I began to imagine life without her. In the beginning I went through a long phase of denial that fooled me into thinking she would overcome. Reality set in however when I visited her in March and saw she had lost over 90 pounds. Dorothy no longer seemed invincible.
Almost three weeks went by before my final visit and she was worse off than I could have imagined. I took a seat beside her bed with my brother as we held her hand and said “I love you”. Her friend told us she wanted to see use before she died. As we were there she breathed a sigh of relief and gratitude and took her final breath.
My first reaction was denial. I did not want to believe she was gone from my life; nor could I understand why God had to take her. After I cried I began to realize that her suffering was over and that she was finally at peace. Her pain and agony was over and she was with her father, brother and mother in heaven.
It was torture watching her dwindle down to an almost skeleton. Dorothy was a big woman over six feet tall her weight was proportionate to her height. When she finally died she weighed less than 110 pounds. The sight of her crushed me completely.
Although there are moments when I am upset with God for taking her before I was ready to let go I know that she is in my heart and I will see her again. Dorothy touched my heart and soul in ways that have not been matched and I will always cherish our time together.

Another One Bites the Dust
Trying to generate a relationship, no matter how small via text messages just do not mix. At least for this girl who hearing a voice and having a LIVE active conversation. So a new guy, who only knew how to communicate via text messages has bit the dust. I guess me not really responding to texts was the down fall. However, if you see I did not respond what is preventing you from using the feature that says "Call Sender"? What!?
