Poetry Personified

I often wonder what life would be like if I had a relationship with my father.

Would it make things easier or would it be even harder?

Well I am a grown man now so some would say that it hasn't happened because I don't want to.

But would being rejected again be a bad enough nightmare to haunt you?

Yet it is something that has to happen because I need closure.

So my son won't have to be subjected to negative exposure.

See I'll be present at his first day of school and his first time riding a bike.

But I'm petrified because of the potential for the question, "so what was your experience with grandpa like?"

Now don't think that I am discrediting the fact that my mom has been there since day one.

But if a mother is true to herself she'll admit that it takes a father to raise a son.

When it happens I will be ready to accept him because holding grudges blocks blessings from entering into my life.

And I will give all the credit to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

When TJ was born I dedicated him back to the Lord and vowed that I would be there regardless of what he lives through.

And I look forward to initiating the healing process with my father by saying...I Forgive You.

Til the End of Time

I was just getting on your nerves the other day; now we're cuddling up watching our favorite movie letting the time pass away.

I need to do more around the house and help you out with the baby; So I cooked and gave him a bath to show you that I love my lady.

I tell you that you need to dress sexier for me and flirt more often; So you used that gift card to Victory Secrets and those teddies you went and bought them.

I get tired of you pointing out my faults and reminding me of my mistakes; Then we kissed and made up because true love is give and take.

You want me to control my emotions and not wear them on my sleeve; Yet I love that when no one sees the vision I have for our future you still believe.

I want you to talk more and tell me what's on your heart; You smile and say if I would've been paying attention you've been showing me from the start.

I appreciate how you loved me in spite of when I was pinching pennies to make a dime; So I'll be loving you Til the End of Time.

Happy Valentine's Day fans!!!

When you love me in spite of the butt hole I am.

When you pretend you can't stand me like Martin did Pam.

I understand you will always be your father's little girl.

But even if I lived amongst superheroes you'd be the center of my world.
