Rah Times

Mama must have done something right When she taught me wrong from right. As I faced my life, I realized I appreciate all she has taught me. All I ever wanted was her love. Not the many concerns she had. Nonetheless, I love the person Those lessons produced. For that, Mama, I thank you. Even though I am an adult now I find I still needs my mother’s love. No one can comfort me Like the woman who molded me.

Promise to meet you. Love you for you, Right where you are. Promise to run, in your direction. Place my arms around. Love you for who you are. I'll be there, I promise you, my dear. I think about you always. History I shared with you. As I got to know you, I knew; you were the one for me. No longer will I run. Except in your direction. I will hold on and will go. No matter the distance, I'll be there. In loving you, life will be alright. Wherever you are, I will build my life. I promise, I will run in your direction.

Where did the slender fellow Who laughed lightheartedly go? Faded at sun down along with the jeans he wore. Stores were told of the place he came from. Did not realize, he would soar to great heights. Simply wondered what he did and was pursuing. When I saw him decades later. He was nothing more than a stranger. My heart stopped and started again, that was unchanged. Yet a different image emerged. Unlike the initial one. Time changed things, but not his features. His character was now under scrutiny, His drive, things he placed first in life. Those gave me answer, I no longer needed to wonder, What and who he became and sought after.

Like I’m a gravy bowl My lady love emptied my pockets out. Using me for bread and butter But not treating me like her lover. I did not want to stop her. With all that I have, I wanted her. I maybe all tapped out, Without a doubt She remains, the one, I loved. Would do anything for her All I wanted was to be with her. I would be lost without my firecracker love. As much as she was a stormy lover, Who knocked me over like bad weather. I would always choose her I wanted to live with none other than her. With all that I am, I still wanted her. Many ask why I tolerate her. If I aware, she is a selfish lover, And was only in it for my money? If that was true, I still get to spend time with her. Whatever her reasons, I wanted her.

It was more than a matter of taste. I could not love every man in the human race. Hair and eye color did not mean a thing. Just the guy who made my heart sang. I was pursued by the best of them Had many flings with the handsomest Yet, the one I chose was not the best looking Just the guy who made my heart sang I could not love every man that wanted me. It did not matter what they had or did. I loved the one; I am with best of all, He was the guy who made my heart sang. It was not looks or money, but his appeal I loved the way he made me feel He was the one who gave melody to me He was the guy who made my heart sang.
