Not so Odd

Not often do I write on the subject, though I love it dearly,
Everyone has their opinion, so I won't be mad if you don’t hear me,
To be a Father is an honor, and not to be taken likely,
Men, I'll tell you the truth, and I don’t care if you like me,
I’ll never look for pats on the back for this position given,
Blessing if understood, for this world that we live in,
Yet men and women congratulate me, on the things I’m doing,
I not sure why, because isn't this what I’m supposed to be doing?
It seems the reason is, Men have fallen off the map,
They know how to have sex, but not behave after the act,
And Ladies I can’t even be mad at you, well I take that back,
You knew what you were getting, before you jumped into the sack,
But never the less after the deed is done,
You’re usually the first to mature, after producing a daughter or son,
While men hideaway, waiting for someone to make them do right,
You lay with her, now it’s your responsibility to take care of that life,
And shame on you if you’re not taking care of your seed,
Leaving your child lacking for the things that they need,
Just because you pay child support doesn’t mean that’s child support,
To build relationship, show love in life, is your job and that’s no joke,
Women say you’re not needed and your presence has no worth,
Well if that were the case, Why God put you here first,
Your absence is notice by those who can truly see,
Women can do a lot, but they can’t be all they need,
And thank you to women who don’t give good men issues,
Just because we couldn’t love you, doesn't mean we can’t love your tissue.
So for now I’ll take the accolades, just for doing my job,
But I pray in the future, it seems a little less odd.

When Forever Ends

Don’t make me wait Forever,
I’ll believe you if you say it’s worth it,
I won’t rely off what I see,
But can’t remove the need I perceive,
Loving someone just feels right,
Reframing from thinking on it, just for tonight,
Days like this, I find myself dreaming,
Comforting touches just by holding hands,
Love blackmails, for my heart it demands,
Concealing my emotions, of that I’m aware,
While searching for opportunity, where Love’s shared,
My heart fills up quickly, it can’t be contained,
Creating petitions, no one's ever alone again,
Forfeiting risk of failure and broken hearts,
Right now seems the perfect time to start,
Recovered, but scared memories still remain,
Treasure chest buried deep, assuring I’ll never be the same,
Fear to blame, if I never reach my goal,
And Love unlimited, to see life's joy unfold.
But I can’t remove the need, I feel I perceive,
And won’t rely off the things, I wish and hope to see,
I believed when you said what Love was truly worth,
So please don’t make me wait...Forever.

Undisputed

If I were asked, I’ll say LOVE's the heaviest of emotions,
How despite what’s done or said, it still garners our devotion,
And once it’s locked, it’s hard to break without a key,
Which is never made, because we never see the need,
To be in LOVE, we feel pain and it doesn't seem to matter,
That may explain when it’s gone, we run and seek after,
And those who say they really could careless,
Usually change their story, after finding one over the rest,
I’ll never say it’s just an emotion or I don’t want to deal,
Let’s just say at this time, I’m not ready to feel,
For I know what LOVE, is truly able to do,
When you’re not prepare, it’ll wash over you,
Drowning best of swimmers, no longer found,
Washed up on Life’s shore, no one’s around,
Not feeling LOVE, might be the greatest felony ever,
Except for letting it go, like when wind meets a feather,
Not knowing LOVE, couldn't be the greatest crime,
Only one supersedes it....
Knowing when it’s lost, you’re no longer mine,

A Christmas Prayer

Father please look upon us on this very day,
And be pleased with the things we do and say,
Since your name is Majestic we remember you first,
And give You thanks for sending Your son and His birth,
A world lost in darkness, You sent us the light,
That our sins could be forgiven and we see your sight,
We thank You Father, for those who can receive,
And pray through our actions it’s You they believe,
For born in a manger, you sent the ruler of the world,
To save every man, woman, boy and girl,
Forgive us Lord, if we should ever lose track,
Of the gift You gave, to bring mankind back,
We value each moment and hour we live in,
Since nothing is promised, gifted is the time we’re given,
We Bless you Father, for gift’s price you’ve paid,
And say Merry Christmas all, to remember this day,
