she has eyes like an egyptian goddess, they always draw u n
she has eyes
that see right thru me
she has eyes
that talk silently 2 me
she has eyes that pray 4 me
she has eyes like a ride or die chick u see
she has eyes that pierce my soul
she has eyes like the starlets of old, so powerful, so bold
like sophia lauren, big and bright, wanting 2 b my friend
like lauren bacall, medium n tight, ready 2 brawl
like jackie o, eyes of class n style, eyes that always make me smile
she has eyes, like I want n my child
she has eyes that I want 2 wake up 2
she has eyes that I want 2 make up 2
she has eyes that turn me on
she has eyes that tell me I am the one
her eyes r sometime sad, but most times full of fun
her eyes always lift me up n tell me I can
her eyes make me feel like I am the man
her eyes, r a prize
2 b treasured
2 b loved
her eyes r a gift of God, not of man
I've seen her eyes and can't settle 4 less
so ill just b patient n wait 4 God 2 bless...
me with, her eyes

where are the michelle obamas?
i am watching these democratic national convention proceedings (note: i was supposed 2 b there 2morrow with friends n celebration of such a historic occassion but im home debating goin 2 the ER 2nite) 4 reasons other than choosing a candidate 2 vote 4. i am observing these goings on 2 take note of the human condition and importance and influence of interpersonal relationships, both good and bad.
let me say this up front, i am simply enamored with michelle obama and her very public, visible and without shame or fear, reverence, respect and deep love 4 her husband barack. her public displays of affection. it is simply enthralling 2 watch her eyes light up and her smile widen and beam like a ray of sunshine after a short light rain that clears the air, when he enters the room, or n this case, pepsi field.
as i watched her response and reaction 2 him, i sat n envy and n wonton desire 2 have such a woman who would act n such a way 2 me. she alone, n a crowd of thousands, was his biggest cheerleader and most ardent fan. nobody smiled wider, nobody clapped harder, nobody cheered louder, nobody was up on their feet quicker, nobody looked prouder than michelle obama. i bet when barack entered 2nite at the end of bidens speech, if she could have jumped the rafters and bolted down 2 the stage 2 engulf her man with a full body hug and congratulatory kiss, she would have. the power of non verbal communication is incalcuable and priceless.
now catch this, she is accomplished n her own right. all by herself. intelligent. articulate. stylish. charismatic. confident. harvard trained, yet she still deferes 2 her man. she still looks @ him like he is the next best thing since sliced bread. she still touches him like they r teenagers n puppy love. she still smiles, looks him n the eye and listens when he speaks.
all women should take note and keep reference. i believe @ least half of the reason mr barack is where he is 2day, if not more, is because of the 'backing' of mrs michelle, not the berating. 2 many women tear their men down n private, disrespect their men n public and wontoningly carry on about their men 2 his face on a daily basis and wonder why he is the way he is, and things r the way they r. if u want 2 get there n life, wherever there is 4 u, get urself 2gether, find ur place and do ur man right!... u just might end up being 'first lady.'
women, u must understand that u have miraculous powers. u can either build a man up or tear a man down. u can either raise a man 2 heights he has never known or drown a man 2 depths he has never seen, simply by ur support or non-support, both verbal and nonverbal. most macho men will never admit this without being threatened but... a woman has the power 2 lift a man or let him fall. a woman has the power 2 push a man forward or drag a man backward.
even the Bible says n Proverbs (21:9) that it is better 2 live on a corner of the roof than 2 share a house with a quarreling woman!
her actions and words r the catalyst 4 us 2 compete, the encouragement 4 us 2 engage, the power 4 us 2 perform and the will 4 us 2 war! so often we get and gain our inner strength, speaking humanly now, from the woman who believes n us, despite us. she knows us yet she has faith n us. if she says we can, we believe we can and most times we do. there r fewer sweeter words than 'honey, i believe n u!' the lights can be cut off, the car can repossessed and the house can be foreclosed on, but if she says everything is alright, i know ur doing ur best and things will get better, i am with u to the end, we will do our d****st to make it happen! the old tried and worn phrase is true, behind or besides, whichever is ur fancy, every good man is a better woman! ha! gotcha on that one! but a formidable truism nonetheless.
as the young urban crooner ne-yo sung 'im a movement by myself, but im a force when we're 2gether. u make me better.'
i want my michelle obama!

Tears
I cried tonight. It was a full and painful yet cleansing cry. I get the picture, I have learned my lesson.
I am closing my eyes now to await the awakening of a new day. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Heal me Lord. 2 Kings 20:5
I love you Lord. You are interested in me. You talk to me. You convict, cover and console me. You encourage me. You are there for me. You love me. I love you.

A 'Lil Something Extra!
God's blessings are myriad and varied. No two are alike and they are too numerous to count. We used to sing in Sunday School general assembly while growing up at Mount Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, with Sis. Pollard on the piano playing for the congregation, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one. Count your many blessings, see what the Lord has done."
Well, actually, His blessings in our lives are inumerable. They are like the stars in the sky and the sand on the beach. There is just no way possible to quantify the blessings of God in our lives. Suffice it to say, everytime I turn around, He's making a way! Every day is a new blessing, a new revelation of His presence in my life. A new comprehension of just how blessed I really am.
However, what is most amazing is that everynow and then, above and beyond ALL God does on a daily, moment by moment basis in our lives, He gives us a 'lil something 'extra!' Well, it is a 'leap year.' A time, every four years, as counted by the calendar, we are granted an 'extra' day.
My question to you today is, what have you done with this 'today,' this 'extra' that God has given you? Think about it, today God gave you an 'extra' 24 hrs! Time is one of the most precious things we have. When it is gone, you can never get it back, but today God has given us some 'extra' time! Did you use this time wisely? Did you use it to your advantage? Did you use it for the glory of God? Did you use it to encourage somebody, to pour into and invest in someone else's life? Did you tell someone you love them today? Did you put love in action today toward someone? Did you share the love of Christ today?...
What did you do with your 'extra' 24? ... I did this today, told someone I loved them and missed them and guess what kind of response I recieved. I recieved a shortened form of the word thanks, "thnx" in a text. Isn't that the way we do God far too many times? He gives us His best, His 'extra' and we respond as if it is little to nothing, if we respond at all. Might I suggest that we don't do God like we do others so many times and more often than not. Do God right, for He has been amazingly gracious to you. How do we do God right? We do God right by how we treat others in our lives. Remember, 'as we do it unto the least of these, we have done it unto Him.'
The good news is, whatever you did that did not measure up, you can redeem the time! Guess what, tomorrow will be another day! Another chance to get it right! Another chance to tell someone you love them! Another chance to show someone you love them! Another chance to forgive someone! Another chance to forigve yourself! Another chance to give to someone, without thought of anything in return! Another chance to pour into and invest in someone's life, something positive, even if it's simply a word, a kiss, a hug or even just a simple genuine smile.
Whatever you do when you awake in the morning, be sure to thank God for the 'extra' in your life! Remember, we do not deserve it and have not earned it, He just gave it! What a supernatural example of dealing with people in our lives. They do not deserve it, and have not earned it, but we can still give it! We do not deserve it, and cannot earn it, but somebody gave it to us! Show God's kindness, love and forgiveness to someone today and watch it come back to you, in love! Give a 'lil 'extra' to somebody today for God gave you something 'extra' yesterday.
