Profile
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- About Me:
- I love my family... I love life....I love poetry....I love me.
The beauty of it all is Life. Manifesting on what we don't have or can't do can get you zero in life. I have heard that people don't change and I beg to differ. Yearning for peace of mind will make you change.
We as a whole have to stop judging people by their outside appearances and get to know them in order to give feedback. Love is still love no matter how many times you have been hurt.
Love your brothers and your sisters without restrictions, until you need to restrict him or her.

you are all these things ,
and yet you are a dream
speaking to you beautiful woman,
worshiping you as the barer of life,
i know oh how i know,
history has been unkind to you,
blaming you for all the things,
that mankind do,
mama, mother ,woman ,lady,
lover ,and friend,
you are all these things ,
and yet you are a dream
i am not blinded to the fact,
mothers love is where it's at,
rivers of strength you have cried,
enough tears for all life times,
man only knows pain and hurt ,
how can man measure your worth,
when they can not love,
the treasures of you,
nor respect your truths
mama,mama,mama,
mother earth mother land,
please forgive them,
they don't understand,
mama, mother ,woman ,lady,
lover and friend,
you are all these things ,
and yet you are a dream
wont you take my hand,
for only with you,
will i reach the promise land,
children needs rest in your soul,
only you can show them the way to love,
my lady lover and friend,
on bending knees for time i plead,
to show you i am not like them,
i drink, i bath,i swim ,
i am your river of strength,
that flows from your soul,
for i know we need each other to be whole,
mama, mother ,woman ,lady,
lover and friend,
you are all these things ,
and yet you are a dream
what GOD has joined together,
no man can put asunder,
is a river that flows forever
the Nile and the Euphrates,
all know the meaning of being strong,
for the rivers of love we all must drink from,
a golden thread binds and ties,
i am strongest with you by my side
kneel with me taste the sweetness,
of all knowing the glory we have found,
rivers of strength so long has flow,
deep!deep! from the pit of my soul,
been Thu the worst just to bare the best,
there can be none greater ,
than your loveliness,
speaking to you beautiful woman,
worshiping you as the barer of life,peace wisemanspeeks copyrights@o8wizthom

Be blessed,
