Today I am a mother
today I am a mother
what a precious little soul
10 little fingers
and 10 little toes
today i am so happy
nothing ever could
be better than this
I pull away the blanket
of warmth
and on its tiny little head
I give a kiss
not just any kiss
a kiss of pride and love
I love my little bundle of joy
and I than my God above
I thank him for this
priceless life
I truly hold most dear
as I cuddle my little bundle tightly
and caress its little ear
today I am a mother
and boy I'm truly proud
whatever could be more
exciting than this
I just want to scream out loud
today is like a new day
my life has changed forever
I pray that God watch over us
and help us pray together
so many mothers stray
from their children
because they don't have time
I promise that
no matter how busy I am
I'll always make time for mine
when I go to sleep tonight
I'll say a special prayer of thanks
as I hold my little bundle tight
I love my little bundle
as you can truly see
I am a proud mama
and I praise God
for what he has given me

| Oh how I love my mamma so
oh how I love my mamma so
thoughts of home cookin'
you just don't know
corn bread, greens
chicken and rice
mama always has
that special way
to make everything
so nice
oh how I love my mama so
memories form the past
of solong ago
she would read us a story
and tuck us in bed
fluff up or pillows
and kiss our little heads
help us say our prayers
and hug us good night
wish us blessed dreams
to help us sleep tight
oh how I love my mamma so
so far away and so far to go
although we are so far apart
you'll always
have a special place
deep within my heart

| Do you feel it, The love I have for you
do you hear it
the sound of my heart
embracing the warmth from your smile
do you see it
the love in my eyes
that I have for you
when you look back
at me
do you feel it
the zealous nature
of my caress
as I attempt to
embrace you
that's love
my dearest
that's the love
that I have for you
and I am simply rejoicing
that I have you
to share my life with.

BLACK BALLERINA
I wait again today
I wait my turn to dance
always second on the list
never first, and sometimes last
this does not offend me
or hold me from my plan
to be the very best you see
and strongly make a stand
i am patiently awaiting my
precious moment in time
knowing thatnever will I escape
the prejudice and envy of my brother
mankind
although they do not realize
we are all Gods children in his grace
they recognize me
by the color of my skin
and not the dance of liberation
for all of us
that I create!!!!!

THE COST, THE COST
the cost the cost
nothing gained
yet so much lost
my youth is stolen in time
I have robbed myself
of such an inner wealth
of wisdom and a prosperous mind
I shall never see the reality
of something so simple
as a walk through the park
All I'll ever see
is sympathy, coldness
and anger
a defensive nature
and a dreary cell
within the dark
at night I cry
a tear falls from my eye
and I wish that I could go
back in time
I would lie to rest the best
that reasoned
my conscious mind
to cease
and commit
such a heinous crime
now I shall fold
in the dark
I shall grow old
years ahead
of solitude and regret
but I can make a change
I can begin to rearrange
and find God
for my soul
is not life-less
yet!!!!!
