MY BOYS

These tears that I cry
are of a heavy heart
my boys are gone
we are now apart
*
They were taken away
in the blink of an eye
now I sit here & wonder
why & I cry
*
I reflect on those days
when they were just little boys
playing together &
sharing their toys
*
With their other brothers & sister
they shared a strong bond
now the circle's been broken
since they've been gone
*
As their mother I'm left
with an ache in my heart
life will never be right
as long as we are apart
*
So I sit & I wonder
I cry & I cry
WHY have my babies been taken?
Oh, Lord, tell me, WHY?

A LETTER TO MY SECRET CRUSH

I don’t want you to think I’m pushing you away,
but I have to go after I say what I came to say.
I need to explain to you how I feel
and I need you to tell me
if what I feel is real.

My love 4 you was a surprise
I felt it deep inside me when I looked into your eyes.
So when you see me I hope you understand
that I’m putting my heart
into your hands.

I am lonely I must admit
but you were there to help me quit
You make me happy when I’m sad
and I’m afraid to lose the best friend I ever had.
Am I expecting too much
to want to be with you
and feel your touch?

I will know the truth just by the look in your eyes.
I’ll take it like a woman and hold my cries.
Always remember I’m only a phone call away,
Regardless of what happens
I respect and love you more than ever
today.

A mother’s broken heart

Opel Hunt

The day she came out of her mother’s womb
The radiant light from her eyes filled the room
She was a God-sent creation from heaven above
God impregnated me with a precious gift of my own to love
I watched her grow until she began to crawl
And then one day she began to walk
I thank God for her every day
Until one day I broke her heart.
God forgive me for breaking my little girl’s heart
Now I see I was just like that
little girl with a broken heart
My mother was in her mother’s womb
When she was born her radiance filled the room
And her mother was born with a broken heart
Please God, can you ever forgive us mothers
For breaking their little girls’ hearts?
Some day, will our little girls forgive us mothers
And give us a chance
To mend their hearts?

Dear God, I thank you for saving my life and cleaning me up
Just to give me another chance
To become a better mother
To mend my child’s heart.

Nivette, Bianca, Jasmine, Sinaia, Nyasia
You all mean the world to me
Please give mommy the chance to mend all of your broken hearts

My mother that I truly love,
Now I see that we were broken from the start
I love you mommy
I love you so much
Let’s allow God’s process to start
Mending our broken hearts
