UNCENSORED LOVE

Who says a black boy from the "South Coast",
Cannot tango with a white girl from the West Coast, (no pun intended!),
Who says a light-skinned brother from the South side,
Cannot marry a chocolate-skinned sister from the West side,
Who says,
Baby, they said we could never make it together,
People said we were not meant for each other,
They never gave us a chance to show our love,
Even when it was clear that love was from above,
But I've got news for everyone out there,
It's a new year, and I'm taking this love to another level, yeah,
Okay, I don't mean sex! No! Remember the vow we made,
To remain chaste till we are married, yeah, that's what we said,
Girl, all I'm saying is, this year, I'm prepared to give you Love Uncensored,
Love Uninhibited, and Love Unrestricted, that's what I seek,
We are done playing hide and seek,
It's time to let the love out!
And live the love out!

Who says a poor boy from Mississippi cannot date a rich girl from California,
Who says a black girl from New York cannot be with a white boy from Florida,
Who says,
Honey, they said we were incompatible,
They said our lives together would be double trouble,
They never gave us a chance to be together,
Even when it was clear we are destined for each other,
But, baby, it's a new year, and I hate to burst their bubbles,
I'm going to cut to the chase and put an end to the juggles,
I've got news for everyone out there,
We are taking this relationship to another level, yeah,
And again, I don't mean sex! Remember the vow, we made,
To respect each other till marriage, that's what we said,
All I'm saying sweet heart, is, I'm ready to give you an Uncensored love,
I'm prepared to give you an Unrestricted Love, I've decided to give you an Uninhibited Love, that's what I seek,
'Cos we are done playing hide and seek,
It's time to let the love out!
And live the love out!

MAKE THAT CHANGE!

Okay, so it's a new year,
And you made it thus far. Congratulations, yeah,
There is still a lot of excitement in the air,
That's good,
But let's take off any hood,
That may keep us from putting the year in perspective,
And doing the things which would bring to fruition, the dreams which in our lives are prospective,
Truth is, while so many will continue their same old ways, afraid to rearrange,
If you want to turn your situations around, you must be prepared to make that change!

I believe your life is ready for something new,
And there's a feeling in my spirit the universe is waiting for a change by you,
I don't know what changes you have to make,
Or what choices you have to take,
But here is what I know-this year, the right decision,
Will put your life in the right direction,
Please, take this seriously, and make that change,
And do what it takes to rearrange,
Put your life on the right path, and take in an air of fresh breath,

Honestly, this year, there would be some discouragements along the way,
But you have to brace yourself, stick it out and hold on, all the way,
This can be your best year ever, or your worst year ever- it all depends on you,
Concerning your dreams, visions and goals, you can't afford to give up! Stay true,
To your resolutions, stay true to your commitments-lose that weight, quit that bad habit,
Quit that relationship that is threatening your peace of mind, stop it,
Whatever changes you have to make, go on ahead with it,
You can write that book, you can start and finish that project, yes! You can!
I don't mean to be cliche' with that last phrase, but truth is, whatever your mind can conceive, this year if you believe, you can achieve, yes! You can!

STRONGER WITH YOU!

Sorrowful nights, painful plights and darkened lights,
Hopes dashed, visions dissolved and dreams ailing,
Love tested, trust wavered, baby, through the fights,
Through the hardships, when our foundations began failing,
And the world predicted we wouldn't last long,
We stayed together, never stopped singing our love song,
Baby, we made it through, 'cos you were by my side,
I am stronger and better with you by my side,

I almost gave up, when the rains of sorrows came pouring down,
The thorns of disappointments pierced my soul, and my heart left broken,
Truly, my assets were destroyed and my world came crumbling down,
My patience was tried, my perseverance evaluated and my faith-shaken,
I thought I was going to lose my mind,
But I am grateful to God for you, you could have moved on and left me behind,
But honey you stayed, you stood bye me,
And together we made it, you and me,
Darling, I am stronger and better with you by my side,

Friends deserted, folks parted, and even family abandoned,
But baby, you stayed,
Stronger and better, I am, with you by my side,
Loved ones departed, brethren varnished and fellows disappointed,
But baby, you remained,
Stronger and better, I am, with your love on my inside,
The wealth was blown away by the winds and the glamor by the waters was washed away,
But baby, you continued, always by me, making me stronger, day by day,
Thanks for loving me! Thank you!

BECAUSE GOD'S ON THE THRONE...

It's a brand new year,
I'm so grateful to be alive,
My eye just let out a tear,
But as I reminisce on the events of the year past,
And upon my gains and losses, a thought of stock-taking cast,
I can't help but meditate on the prospect of the new year,
I can't help but cogitate on how the lord has brought me thus far, here,

So, as the new year rolls out,
There are so many things I'm thinking about,
There are some things I'm unsure of,
And yes, some things that I'm afraid of,
But as these thoughts run through my mind,
And these feelings I can't leave behind,
I am reminded by The Spirit to look to the hills,
From whence my help will come, no matter how I feel,
For because God's on His throne, it is well,
I (you) will succeed through this year, and excel,

I may not be sure of how to pay the mortgage,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A single uncoupled sister, I'm not sure if I'll get engaged,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A single brother, I'm not sure if I'll find that special sister,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
A working class mother,
I'm not sure how to juggle the kids, work and my husband,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure I will,
An ordained minister, I'm not sure how to cater effectively for the flock of God, this year,
But because God's on the throne,
I know it is well,
And I'm sure it will,
An up and coming artist, I'm not sure if my big break will come this year,
But because God's on the throne,
It is well,
And I'm sure I will,
Time and space will fail me to touch every aspect,
But I hope you get the idea and see the prospect,
The list continues but whatever it is,
This shall be your year of CONGRATULATIONS,
And come what may, you'll make it with stars,
Because God's on the throne!
Happy Prosperous New Year!
Congratulations! You made it!
