MY LOVE STORY

At the time you entered my life

I was dealing with so much strife

I was in so much pain

I didn’t even think I could sustain

At the time we met I wasn’t even ready

To deal with something more steady

We had to take things real slow

If we had any chance for this to grow

You didn’t fuss or put up a fight

You just wanted to make sure I was alright

In time our friendship grew

We had a chance to start anew

I really did not have a clue

That at the time I was so in love with you

I was so afraid to take a chance

To explore our budding romance

So I decided to give you my heart

And you told me that you would never part

You said you wanted to share your life

So you asked me to be your wife

After 14 years of being together

We are headed to making our love last forever

A FAMILY

A family provides a shoulder to lean on.

It is much stronger than krypton.

A family provides the rainbow on a sunny day.

It is the road map to help us find the way.

A family provides us with strongholds and high towers.

It is how we gain so much power.

A family keeps us in perfect peace.

It is something we never want to cease.

A family provides constant prayer from above.

It is how they show their love.

A family provides refuge during the storm.

It is how they usually perform.

A family teaches us dignity and pride.

It is how we learn to abide.

A family teaches us with their support we can’t go wrong.

It is helps us grow up to become big and strong.

Despite the distance set between us,

Despite our good and bad days,

Despite the various textures of our hair,

Despite the different colors of our skin,

Despite the hurtful things we sometime say.

I am, you are, we are …… A FAMILY.
