Epic Musical

Image
If our life was a movie It would be an epic musical Full of adventure With love so movable I met a soldier and was carried away You sang ‘The way you make me feel’ Then the record continued to play I met “The Producers” Without the alluring But we were from two different worlds Like “Westside Story” Despite our differences We had a lot in common And knew it was worth investing time in So we began fusing Singing our song To “The Sound of Music” Then “The King and I” Became one To him “My Fair Lady” But our song wasn’t done We journeyed to forever after Creating more music Full of love and laughter We were “Singing in the Rain” And “All that Jazz” All the while running toward “Fame” My love, you are “The Music Man” And we a duet Serafin A “Little Night Music” With strings and horns “Meet Me in St. Louis” Because a “Star is Born” “A Chorus Line” continues Taking “Cinderella” to New York But no “Bye Bye Birdie” Th...

My Blessing

Image
My Blessing For eight years I prayed. I sauntered in faith. Though I became weary, I continued to run the race. For eight years I cried. Not willing to forgive my past. Unconsciously condemning myself; Forcing the storms to last. For eight years you heard me. You inclined your ears to my cry; Giving me completion; With new beginnings, I sighed. At the end of my eight years, Blessing began to fall at my feet. God opened the floodgates of Heaven; Now my mustard was larger than a seed.

Bottle of Dreams

Brandy sat on the shelf waiting for the time it accompanied a dream being aloof to man's crime unnerving the innermost expressions whether he'd be Banner or the Hulk to be kissed by cruel affections It sits there dangling an escape a maze through a magical door with so many memories to erase or rather to eradicate and make it a just reality not afraid to side-step fate But Brandy is not a device a sinful bottle of schemes a method to make foolish right while yesterday's tainted with slurred lines and a foreseeable dank end

Hello

Hello world, This is my encore re-entrance into life I am no longer a princess, I had my Bar Mitzvah and now am a queen I have taken my right My throne, my castle, my kingdom, Realizing it is all worth my fight Accepting my power, my strength And moving from beneath the wings into the light

A New Dawn

"A New Dawn" by Stephinie R. Johnson Yesterday I was afraid of love Afraid of life I did not believe in myself Or the journey that was given to me I allowed heartache and strife To take anchor And devour me Today, I chose to view my life differently and say The heck with that No more running from the mirror No more saying I can’t No more thinking I’m old No more denying what He grants I learned to love me Learned to be me Learner to accept me Learned to be free I am enjoying this life And loving me better than anyone else can Choosing to be the best me Choosing to believe in me Along with accepting all the attention My life is not perfect But I am perfect in His eyes I am moving forward Though I may stumble Trip and fall I am happily me And that’s no lie. Theme Song: Feeling Good by Nina Simone

Happy Birthday Steve Harvey

"I decided to write a poem to celebrate one of my favorite comedians, tv stars, and show hosts: Steve Harvey. I am posting this early to ensure he has a chance to read it and start off his celebration for the entire month of January right. Mr. Harvey, much love for all you do!!!" Dear Steve Harvey, You’ve reached another milestone, With a life so full of ups and downs, Fighting to make a name for yourself, When only your car was your throne, And your passion was your crown. Giving all that you had to make it, Pushing not to quit, Doing what was needed in times of struggle, Stepping up to the plate in this war of toggle. People see you now, but with only a half look, They chose to only read the last chapter, Not knowing this is just the beginning of your book. You have inspired many and encouraged others, Teaching women to seek more, While also lifting our brothers. Entrepreneur, comedian, and host, Just a few hats you wear, A...
