I long to have u near me
Needing to feel your touch.
I know u are in the distance
Holding back not giving me to much
U come to me often...in my thoughts
and in my dreams...
But never are u with me so it seems.
Sometimes I wonder why u chose me
for your muse and for your spell.
Strong
Sexy
Captivating
and
Mysterious.
U take me.
U own me.
U keep making me want more.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size.
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's the reach of my arms.
The span of my hips.
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please.
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth.
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman.
Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman.
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see me.
I say,
It's the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman.
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand.
The need for my care
"cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
That's me.
~Maya Angelou~
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,
it is about learning to dance in the rain.
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
Be grateful to people who make us happy, who make
our soul blossom.
In life all we have is NOW.
So smile
A Black Man
Why is it that a Black Man can create a tiny piece
called a filament (electric light - Lewis Latimer)
that allows people to see in the dark?
But can't be seen fit to lead a country to the true light.
Why is it that a Black Man can create an instrument
(clock - Benjamin Banneker) that all people use to
tell time?
But people don't think it is time for him to run a country.
Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for
the high authorities to meet in & a place for the
president to live in (The Capital & the White House
Phillip Reid (a slave) & Pierre L'Enfant)?
But not good enough to lead these meetings or live
in himself.
Why is it that a Black Man was brilliant enough to
do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale
Williams) and show the world how to get and preserve
plasma (Dr. Charles Drew)?
But not good enough to put a p rogram in place where
everyone can afford this surgery.
Why is it that a Black Man was creative enough to
design an instrument (traffic light - Garrett
Morgan) to bring multiple people (traffic) to a
halt?
But not seen creative enough to design a plan to
bring all this unnecessary and worthless fighting
between countries to a halt.
Why is it that a Black Man could create the soles
(shoes - Jan Matzeliger) that people walk on
everyday?
But not seen good enough to fill the shoes of the worst
president in history.
Why is it that a Black Man was smart enough & brave
enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas &Thomas
Fuller - both slaves) and others how to read, write
and/or calculate math?
But not seen smart enough and bold enough to
calculate a platform to be President to a country
that sure needs another first by us.
So you see my Brothers and Sisters what I am saying
is let us not forgot our past, which led us to our
present and can definitely be the backbone to our
future.
We were good enough, smart enough, creative
enough, and bold enough then, so lets all give Obama
the chance to show that we are still these things
and more.
We all are as strong as our weakest link,
so don't be that weak link that denies our people
that chance to show we still can
OVERCOME & BE THE FIRST!
