The Raine~

She said she is RAIN,
she falls hard and steady-
But can also( just) mist the air with her presence AND in my case mess up my hair!

She is the kind of rain that does unsuspecting damage.
She never understood WHY people take cover from her,
And YET, she's left ALONE~

She bares the harsh cold statement and words others use to describe her Destructive"NESS"
"I lost my beach house"
"My car flooded"
"My basement is a pool"
"My house floated away"
" I..HATE..RAIN.."

Not looking for love, because it seeped through the cracks on more than one occasion.
Just looking for acceptance as GOD has already proved-

When she swept through and broke the levees of New Orleans, it was not done purposely...
She did not want to take all those lives But
Hers had been taken and misused so many times..
So, she took what others have taken from her at such a young age..
In return, all she's ever wanted was someone to care about HERS~......

When she falls from the sky
~Plants are fed
~Lawns are watered
~Droughts no longer so,
~Souls grow
~Children jump in her puddles

BUT..What...About..HER?

SHE is RAINE....
A beautiful girl,
Given the raw stick in life.

She is RAINE....
In search of someone to Love her, hold her and care for her,
Someone to bring her in-

She is RAINE....
The story of so many young girls left out to dry..
Left to survive on the streets of America...

She is RAINE...
Hear her voice,
Love Her,
Support her,
It could change her life and Yours...

She is RAINE...

" A personal experience, shaped this piece... Growing up, I didn't realize how fortunate I was until I met Raine..."

Smiling~

My smile is contagious..I smile when I'm down, Happy, low and sad..

Have you ever wondered why people can walk around with a frown? What in their life could be so bad that won't allow them to smile? There were points in my life when I didn't smile freely, but I knew how to display something FAKE... I've learned that in order to really appreciate a real true smile it has to come from within...

Your soul is the truest expression of you as a person...And when you learn how to love on self 1st, you can smile and love on others equally!

Today, my smile represents me!! My smile reaches to the bottom of my soul, finds my good place and it displays across my face..
In my smile you can see Confidence, you can see my Grace.
I want my feelings and I want my Smile to bounce off me and onto others~

Smile, it makes you feel better
Smile, it makes you seem approachable
Smile, Love is Love~

The Strength and Beauty of A Man

He walks with strength and courage as a lion over the jungle,
Strong, Straight back- a loud raor from the pit of his belly to warn off all unsuspecting prey.
A Protector, A Lover, Passionate Kisser, No mess taker.
He provides for his family,
But yet soft enough for the woman who equally compliments him.
The epitomes of a real man.
His strength, Presence and willingness to become better, inspires his counterpart to Love on him and All of him harder
She will provide comfort that will satisfy every part of him, from a place where only he has a key.
His back is strong enough to Carry any load, yet comforting enough- so that his woman feels safe to rest her head upon it!
The Strength and Beauty of A Real Man
Will always allow him to be true to God, himself and His Love.
No room for cowardice because everything he feels is expressed through his actions!
The qualities he posses stand out- his walk, his voice, his Ego are all what makes him Beautiful.
Strong enough to take a stand
While strong enough to shed a tear and allow his woman to dry his eyes.
He's accountable for his actions,
Yet in every sense of the word, his family can depoend on him.
His wife will Love him,
His daughters will adore him,
His sons will aspire to be replicas of dad.
Saluting the man- Who is strong
Acknowledging him for who he is,
Proudly and with honor,
I will bow under submission to The strength and Beauty of A Real Man
