Mama did something right

Mama did something right.
She taught me to be polite.
Even with all I've battled in life,
I never strayed from her advice.
I needed her love more than dad’s.
Not the many concerns she had,
Still, I loved the woman, I've become.
I was the daughter who was unlike her sons.
Mama did something right.
She taught me to be polite.
Even with all I've battled in life,
I never strayed from her advice.
As an adult when I was away from home.
I would speak to her daily on the phone.
Not that I was looking for her approval.
I did so at times when I needed to refuel.
Her children were very unkind to me.
Though their behavior no one could see.
It caused me unnecessary grief.
But she knew that they were being untrue.
Mama did something right.
She taught me to be polite.
Even with all I've battled in life,
I never strayed from her advice.

My Desire was Unreal

Loved you as if you cared. Lost you as if you were ever mine. Thinking one day you'll surely, Love and want me a fter I'm gone. Your love's obscure, like an object on the ocean floor,  Til the tide brings it ashore, it's existence obscure invisible 'til it's touch is real. XOXO 💖 A heart throb song Your smile made me want to send you flowers.

It is not you but me.

Never thought I’d ever grasp The “it is not you but me,” concept, with time I got it. It was not that I was not good enough. It was that he messed up. Could not appreciate, recognize value. No matter how intelligent he was. Didn't matter that he had my love, was applauded and respected by all around, had many accomplishments. When it came to appreciating fine women he was lacking. Wished only the best for him and whoever falls ‘n becomes my replacement. My advice would be to lower expectations, don't achieve more or exercise great moral, or she would also will comprehend, The “it is not you but me” phrase.

Feeling Greatful/Behind the Lyric

Two days before hurricane Harvey I got a report from my neurologist saying I had two benign brain tumors. It took me a few days to process her message and by then hurricane Harvey hit. My house got 6 inches of water in it. A week after the storm a remediation company came and they cut 24 inches of wall throughout my home and cleaned up all the mud that covered the floors. I did my usual wining to my trusted friends, then after that I sent my medical information unto a relative who reviewed the findings. Like real estate in where a tumor is located determines value, location determines the need for swift action. Mine was in the retina canal, millimeters behind the optic nerve. Even noncancerous legions grow and that was the danger I was faced. I got to the Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnesota Wednesday night two weeks ago. On monday last week the tumor was removed. I spent the rest of last week in recovery and the step down unit. Today, I am home and the sheet rock people are her
