APOLOGY UNACKNOWLEDGED

When you ask a person who at one point said they really cared about you for forgiveness and they choose to ignore your apology, it is because they have forgotten they too have needed to ask for forgiveness at one point or another. That fact combined with the reality that they may have never cared for you in the first place actually makes their unwillingness to forgive you almost predictable................Perhaps that person has an insatiable desire to have someone beg for their forgiveness. The truth is, I have a better chance of winning Lotto twice on one drawing!!!....... Yeah, I know. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!

When My Mother Died

                                    When My Mother Died

I cried inside when my mother died

I thought she’d always be with me but to myself I lied

I now know I was wrong for my mother has passed on

Now there are just plenty of wishes as I reminisce about times that are forever gone

I can remember the sincerity in her face

As she told me I was her saving grace

She told me to always search for happiness and to be sure to protect it

She taught me the definition of unconditional love and to always respect it

I’d give anything to have her wake me singing rise & shine again

Or to have her warn me about people I thought were my friends

As she demonstrated a strong belief in faith and she was always courageous

Since I now try to emulate some of her ways, I’d say it was contagious

Although I thank God for the memories, I wish we could create more

Am I needy or just greedy? I am not really sure

Am I needy because I feel lost without mom’s guiding hand?

Or am I greedy because I want her to continue teaching me to be a good man?

I always considered a conversation with mom to be somewhat of lesson

That is why I feel that when I was born to my mother that it was truly my first blessing

These are just a few reasons why

I cried inside when my mother died.

Argument At The Chinese Restaurant

Argument At The

 Chinese Restaurant

Just the other day I was walking past a Chinese restaurant. You know the take-out place, which seems to find a home in every urban neighborhood throughout America. I was hungry after a hard days work so I decided to buy dinner rather than cook.

As I waited in line to place my order, I heard the man in front of me try to place his order. When the lady behind the counter couldn’t understand what the man wanted to order, he became very hostile towards the woman. He actually cursed her out. Although I have witnessed plenty of arguments, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. I mean he repeatedly told the lady how stupid he thought she was and continued to curse at her even after he paid for and received the food he ordered.

After I placed my order I remember thinking this guy continued to question the intelligence by calling her stupid simply because she didn’t speak or understand English as well as he thought she should. The fact of the matter is he really doesn’t have a great command of the English language either. That would explain his inability to express himself without the use of profanity.

I also think the fact that he chose to verbally abuse a lady by calling her stupid when she is about to prepare food for him really shows who is stupid. It is not only stupid, it is down right dangerous.

Parades

PARADES

If I were to take the day off because my favorite contestant won the biggest prize on the most popular game show, wouldn’t the average person consider me crazy? I agree. So with that in mind, I guess it would be easy to understand why I think it is absolutely insane to take a day off to celebrate a hometown sports team winning a championship. Particularly when 99% of the team are multi-millionaires. I think the team and its owners should throw a parade in our honor for being such loyal fans. Saturday or Sunday would be a good day.

It's Hard To Take You Seriously

IT'S HARD TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY



It's hard to take you seriously when I know you treat life as if its a joke
It's hard to take you seriously when you can't even remember the promises you broke
It's hard to take you seriously when you say you could do something but never bother to prove it
It's hard to take you seriously when you say you know how I feel about something and you never even been through it
It's hard to take you seriously when you say you really, really care for me

It's hard to take you seriously when you have never shown you'd be there for me
It's hard to take you seriously when towards me you continually show neglect
It's hard to take you seriously when in my faith in God, you simply have no repsect.

The Key To Happiness

The Key To Happiness

In order for us to unlock our own happiness, we must all realize that we hold the key

That’s why I can’t deny that I can now confide that the joy I search for is within me

No longer will I wait for others to accept and appreciate me for I am

I consider it their lost if they can’t understand that I am a damn good man

A man who encourages others to forgive and at times even to forget

To live their lives in a way so that towards the end of the day, it is not filled with regret

Writing words that are enlightening when they are heard truly makes me happy

I am so glad I found the key within me; now I can show it for the world to see.

The Man That I Am

The Man That I Am

Being the man that I am in this great land
I know that my existence is part of God’s plan
So when I can help others through writing, I do it because I can
In the dark my words provide lighting, so all may see to understand
That we are all here for a moment, seems like a short life span
We should spend our time encouraging and uplifting our fellow man.

Do well and be well my Brothers and Sisters
