What does "disability" mean?

It means what you have not gone through...

But, it all takes time and you're going to achieve it.

Keep your head high -- to the sky

And say, "this is who I am and I'm proud of it!"

See, it is nothing to be shameful of. So, get out and show your best.

 DEPRESSION

 "Is depression really me?" you might ask; It is not you...

Perceive the possible --

Don't let anyone get you down.

love lost

i see him in his chair , with thoughts in my head

i decided to write , and to my delight . he writes.

a soft spoken man , full of life .

he says he is disabled , but how can i, being abled .

do i keep the conversation going . or do i run not caring.

what the hell i will try . worst comes to worst , friends at the most.

month has past, happy and go lucky we are . more then friends

here we are.

 things have been spoken  and thoughts heard . how can this be.

a true love can it be ?

i no longer see his chair his vent nor do i care.

we shared a a special  day cuddling and holding till dark.

till i had to part .

i have lost in love and love has lost me .

but this man so loving and kind . he  showed love will find . 

a true sense of heart, hope love will never part.

he can't walk nor can he dance . but he hold me a in a trance.

his touch is gentle and his words are meaningful .he caresses my face and kisses my lips

my heart is his as we melt into each others grips.

for the first time love has found us both. can this be the love lost.

Just Me

I may not be brilliant

Or have a degree

But I know who I am

And I like what I see

I may not be stunning

In most people's eyes

With a bountiful body

And thunderous Thighs

I don't like the things

That most women like

Don't hang around men

Guess that makes me a dyke

I may not be perfect

With only one leg

But at least I don't sit

On the sidewalks and beg

My sight isn't perfect

But that's ok too

I still do the things

That I like to do

I don't have much money

A house or a car

But the things that I have

A more precious by far

What is the proper distance to watch a flower grow, what is the right distance,

What is the rightest distance, that's what I long to know?

How far away, how far away, yet close enough to see,

The growing blooming flower you are, and are to be?

Always far enough away to never, never block the light,

To never block or hinder suns pure tender loving sight.

Also the light you give to the universe beyond,

Ever boundless, ever growing, never shadowed, never bound.

Yet how close, how close is right to rightly nurture and support,

How close dare I to ask to rightly nurture and surround?

More fully loved, yet never drained or smothered,

Ever blooming, never bound.

 Just to watch the timeless unfolding and play whatever part I play,

To see the blooming and unfolding of each step along the way.

To see each successive petal open to its inner most within,

To reveal the fullest love and beauty that is there since time began.

Indeed, to see this and to know it with certain certainty,

How close, how close, how close...how close need I to be?

The question answered, yet unanswered, is it clear enough to see.

Is it clear enough to be? Close enough to know my fullest love,

Through all eternity.

I don't believe in love..I don't believe in fairy tales, and that is how it is.I dont believe in hope anymore.. I dont't believe in You. I will be wishing on a shooting star at the bottom of a wishing well. Out there beyond the rainbow there is a place for me for You.  A place for all to love and care for one another. I dont believe in  love. I dont believe in fairy tales. and that is how it is. I dont believe in hope anymore.. But now i believe in You, out there beyond the rainbow there is  a  place for me. Just believe in me as I believe in You. my dreams will come true somewhere beyond that rainbow.. Please save a place for me.For i will wish upon that star in a wishing well of dreams and hopes for a better life...

My mom has a disability

This I know is true

But her actions are as normal

As let's say me and you

She takes me to the mall

Watches me roller skate

I can't wait to see what she does

When I go on my first date!

My grades are really important to her

She wants me to do good

I want to go to college

And she knows that I could

My mom is great,

regardless of the things she does for me

Most of the time, I don't even see

Her disability

For she can laugh

And she can love

Right from her wheelchair

She can do anything a mom can do

She just can't take the stairs!

2 BONES

One is big and meaty.The other is juicy and small. One i can live in. One i can gnaw.One is too big to carry. The next i can take or barry. Which do i choose? neither one, said the Dog ! my Master buys for me, only the best dog food...By Akifah

 The Most Whole..The Most Holy

 The most whole...some may say an unusual phrase, but what is wholeness?

What are some of the qualities that make a person complete and whole?

Intelligence-The ability to absorb great amounts of information, then interrelate them.

Connect many bits of information, so that they are drawn together and make a more consistent coherent whole. There is that word again. More than absorb and connect, the next step is to access. The further ability to access information instantly, on command. Intelligence is absorb, connect, and then instantly access!

Next, Attitude-A benevolent outlook on the world. Indeed, a benevolence that is so ever present, it is almost unappreciated. A quality so shiningly radiant that it may out shine intelligence for the many who are usually blinded by its brilliance.

Then, Competence-The sheer ability to do doing, well. Indeed, more than just well, but doing the doing easily, so easy in fact, that the sheer ease often almost totally obscures the intense focused effort.

How much cooperation from the body is necessary for intelligence, attitude, and doing to form a Trinity of Wholeness? Indeed, how can this trinity of wholeness manifest so brilliantly, often with the most minimal cooperation from the physical form?

Upon further reflection, perhaps the answer is easy.

The Vibrating Invisible of You! The nurtured invisible connection to the wholeness of the universe. The natural connection is ever present..., is supplemented and perfectly complimented by your trinity of wholeness. This creates a wholeness that transcends wholeness. This transcendent wholeness is Holy!  The Holiness of You. The gifts of your Trinity of Wholeness, combined with your consciousness, form a genuine holiness.

This combination has formed a holiness that it is my honor to behold. It is a holiness that is usually unacknowledged and unappreciated. It is my honor to fully acknowledge and radiantly appreciate both the wholeness and holiness of you, and your vibrant life! May you see and experience and know your ever expanding wholeness and holiness through me.

No Name

She's walking slowly down a long lonely road

Where she's headed not even she knows

Memories flood her head

They pass by and by

Memories of him

That make her cry and cry

The days were special when he was there

Like the day they first met

On that warm sunny night at the fair

He caught her eye and she gave him a smile

And five years later he gave her a child

She is happy and yet still sad and even torn

For the one she loved

Will never see their unborn

Walking even slower now

She stops and wonders

Why did this happen? Why oh why now?

Their love was strong, like no other

He'll always be in her heart

He said he'd love her forever

She closes her eyes and sees his face

The tears continue to come

As if this was a race

Not in a hurry to go back home

Where they shared their love

And from where they hardly did roam

Why did you have go now? she wondered aloud

I never got to say goodbye to you

As she looked into the clouds

Still looking into the cloud scattered sky

She says I know you loved me

You showed me in so many ways

My heart will always hold our love

For as long as I'm here, day after day

One day I'll join you up there

My heart will be racing

To again be with you and share

The love that was meant to be

Between you and me

I say farewell for now my sweet

It's a kiss I'm sending to you

Along with these three words

I Love You

Pain
My pain is the illness I have swelling in side
my nephews pain is the loss of his 8 year old, going down in water, then in hospital
my mums pain is the age she feels
my friends pain is the hospital where he lies, cut up and veins resized
my brother pain is the daughter about to fly off to America in the sky's
my sisters pain, is the morning after
my dads feels no pain, buried deep in the ground
my families pain is shared around, it not just one but affects everyone

Rocky Mountain Therapy

 I wake to the music of songbirds in the pines.

Sitting up, I stretch the pain from atrophied legs.

The playing field waits outside my window.

I gather my battle gear.

The donning of metal and plastic is automatic.

I check fitting and straps.

All in place I rise.

Cold legs are taut.

I find my rhythm and walk another mile.

 Judy runs on batteries.

    God is her only boyfriend

    and she doesn't know him.

    He touches her heart,

    but she can't see him look

    into her blue eyes

    and she doesn't hear Him say,

    you're beautiful.

Judy runs on batteries.

    She trembles

    at the thought of sex

    and moans for want.

    Every man's hello

    is a fantasy,

    but they just look

    never touch

    never come close.

Judy runs on batteries.

    She's sent to school

    with matted hair,

    and flaky scalp.

    She can't hold a mirror

    to see it.

    It's difficult enough

    holding her book

    on parental love.

Judy runs on batteries.

Love Is

Is love laying under the stars

Is love making out in the backseat of cars

Is love holding hands

Is love making big plan's

Is love the thing that makes our hearts beat

Is love far away or just across the street

Is love laying in bed with you all week

Is love the thing that makes your knees go weak

Is love the thing that pulls two souls togeather

Is love strong enough to last forever

Is love the thing that makes you cry

Is love the last thing you think of before you die

If this is what love means to you then pass it on

                                     and let your dreams come true ''.

My Simple Prayer of Love

I pray to you heavenly father above

To answer this simple prayer of love

Please spare this one I love so true

Yet I don't have much to offer you

Though I asked a prayer earlier before

For you to a let me to walk once more

I ask of you to take this prayer in its place

For in my heart it would be no waste

Please help this one I hold in my heart

Cause without her I would crumble apart

To her I would give my own life

That too if it may be the price

This prayer I ask comes deep from the soul

Father God she's what makes me whole

I hope you hear this prayer which I cry

To please spare the love of my life

True Love

True love is so sweet true love is so kind

True love is what keeps our hearts in twined

Through distance apart and miles between

My love for you is strong at the seams

I dream of your kiss and imagine your taste

To caress my hand down the cheek of your face

To take your hand to hold in mine

To get lost in your eyes would be so divine

I give you all of my love with open arms

And protect you with my whole life, to never show you harm

With thanks to our father in heaven above

For allowing me to share with you what they call true love

No Name

I was so happy to find the best girl I have ever talked to on D4D.

I thought to myself can a woman like this truly exist, and why would she even talk to me?

I let my insecurities get to me, and before it was too late my true feelings I just couldn't see.

Why is it when something starts going good for me I always seem to wreck it?

If I have wrecked my chances with this girl, in my face I deserve a swift kick.

I was so happy because I felt truly found my queen.

Now I'm disappointed again, just like when you wake too early from a fantastic dream.

I was hoping this was the girl with which I would forever be.

However I lost that chance when she saw me for me.

LOVE THY NEIGHBOR                         

What is God calling me to do? 

As I sit by the window and wonder.

What dose the bible say I should do?

As I sit by the window watching woman drop her briefcase.

Jesus healed the sick and raise the dead I never did that!

As I watch someone walk there dog outside the window.  

Jesus said i have come so you can have life more abundantly

How do I live life more abundantly?

Watching an old man pick up his bags!

As I wonder about Jesus died for my sins!

As a servant making my life clean!

What do I do with that?

As I watch a dog run away!

What can I give Christ in faith?

The greatest of us was a perfect servant!

How do I loves others like Jesus?

A neighbor knocks I open the door!!

He says: We need to help find the neighbor's Dog!

Thank you God you answered my prayer

THIS JOURNEY BEGINS

This journey begins with a glance, a smile,

A meeting of eyes ‘cross a crowded room.

They come together and stroll outside,

They gaze at the stars, breathe the scented air.

She shivers a little in the evening breeze,

His arm caresses and holds her tight.

She tilts her head, he bends down to hers

And places a kiss on her upturned lips.

They return to the room not saying a word.

No-one will know what happened out there.

Fading Picture

As I look into my grandma eyes I see that a light that was once so bright is now very dim.
She suffers from Alzheimer’s.  It is as if the picture that is her memories is fading away.
Just yesterday when I went to see her she looked at me as if I was a stranger.  This broke my heart.  For how could the woman who I’m named after not know me.  I’m her little bumble bee.  She calls me that because when I was young I could never sit down.  I was always buzzing around.  I still love my grandma even if because of Alzheimer’s her memory of me is fading away.  Because all pictures fade but the moments that those pictures remind you of have their own place in time.

A Withered Black Rose

This one is for you

For you and every thing you are

A memory to remind me of your grace

I will be forever sorry

Forever sorry

A never written song is what I was

My fears become what I am

Believe in faith

Believe in love

But never believe in something like me

A misery

A lonely soul, crying for one to love

And never to kill you again

So many tears are falling

Without looking back

This poetry

Me , never u

Forever in despair

The last cut I made in your mind will last in mine forever

Dream of me at night

Remember me of what I wanted to be

Never think of what I was

‘Cause I don't want make you cry again

My scars are too deep to heal

But in the end of this dream

What matters, nothing else other than your love

So many love songs

But only a forgiveness is what I beg

However my prayers have never been worth tear

No words left in me

Maybe I am here no more

All I was

7 verses of loneliness

Forever sorry for saying this

But I love you…

By, Night Moon

She Loves Me

She loves me, she loves me

More than anyone I’ve ever known

It’s time at last, to put away the past

This lonely heart has found a home

She needs me, she needs me

To help her thru the good times and bad

I’ll do my best to rise above the rest

And be the man that she’s never had

She wants me, I know she wants me

To wake up by her side everyday

She loves me, she really loves me

And she knows I feel the same way
