Soul Food Kitchen

If I could cook any mean for my family it would have to be our all time favorites in the soul food categories. Those items would have to be greens, corn bread, chicken, ribs, mash potatoes, yams, stuffing, potato salad, smothered pork chops, etc. I picked soul food, because every other Sunday some of the family sometimes get together on special events and go out to eat or have a cook out. We usually cook soul food items yuuuumm I'm hungry just thinking about it. I would try my best too cook every ones favorite meals.  Even though I don't cook as much and when I do its for me, its the thought that counts that I wanted to prepare a family meal. I would reserve a family outing at a nice local park, and have the nice cooked meal laid out on the table. I know everybody would truly be happy if I actually did that, because my family is not as close I just made it seem like we are. So, while writing this prompt it was kind of hard to think about something that had to do with family, so I just based it off of a dream of mine. That's probably one of the best dreams that I can have come true.

Shout out to the fam bamI love ya'll maybe one day we can make this happen :*

The day I was brave

I had multiple visits to the doctor.  A couple of months ago, I found a lump in my breast while taking a shower. I was so terrified, I mean who wouldn't be? I froze and stood there in fear and just prayed that I wasn't the next breast CANCER victim! I quickly called my mommy to the bathroom and she came running. I had told her the bad news that I just noticed. My mom just stood there in shock also, I could tell she was scared for me, because a tear fell from her eyes and her voice changed its tone. The next day which was day one we went to the doctor and explained to them my situation. My doctor quickly examined me, but it took longer then expected, because I don't like exposing my body to the doctors and I don't really care for my blood to be taken. I finally got threw the process and I went home wondering about the test results. They called me a couple of days later, which was now day 2. They explained to me that I had to have more test, because they new something was there but they really couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was.  I went threw some more blood work that day, light headed, hungry and weak. I went home AGAIN,  but I knew I was going to be back. Was I right? yes indeed, day 3, so I went again and this time they did more test, but more painful. I then laid on this cold table and the doctor put a needle in my breast to see if fluid would come out and it didn't. They took a bigger needle and they did the same thing and once again no fluid, so they finally figured out it was "trauma" to the breast, (its another word for it but I can't remember). I forgot to mention I did cry during the whole process including my parents thinking about the pain I was going through. My grandmother was there but she didn't cry, because she knew I was going to be OK, because she prayed and I was in GODS hands : ). They but a plate in my breast that I have in me till this day to mark the spot, if it comes back they know what spot to go to right away. I believe I was brave, because that was a scary feeling for ME and I dont want to ever go threw it again.

Hundred Dollars

I have a hundred dollars, not much but hey its money right? I have too choose between giving the money to a charity or a person. Honestly, I want to keep the money for myself.  I mean who wouldn't want to? money is money we in a recession right now we need all the money we can get. Not trying to sound selfish, but since I have to give the money to either one I'd choose a charity. Its really kind of hard to choose, because if I wanted to give it to the homeless man lets say, and I want him to buy him some nice clothes and by some food so, that he can go on interviews for maybe a job. He may or may not do the right thing that I want him to do with the money. If I give it to the charity I'll be doing a good thing by donating money, hoping it will be used for a good cause. I've made my decision I believe the money should go to a nice legit charity. I would like for them to use the money wise and for a good cause. I would want them to provide books for the kids who need them, nice fitting clothes, food, etc.

Do you remember?

Remember when I looked you straight in the eyes and said;
I'm going to always be by your side?
I was there to ride, through the bumpy times.
I was there to listen to all the lies that were told,
I never believed not one.
Do you remember when we first met?
the times that we've shared and spent?
Do you remember? well I do.
I remember when we first laid our eyes on another
that's when you truly made me believe in love at first sight.
I never wanted us to look away from another.
I remember when you were mouth when I couldn't find the words to say.
I wish we could go back and re-do things
Now I don't no what to do
Do I just forget about you?
but how could I when the plan was too follow my heart
I did but did you play your part?
Just remember I was the one who truly loved you and I still do.

the first thing i want in the morning

No cock a doodle doo to wake me up
I don't live on  a farm
but i do have my very own alarm

It starts with a tap on my shoulder
a spin on my head
The voice says its time to get out of your cozy bed
Its a beautiful day
Open the blinds let the sun come in and shine

I stretch my arms long and wide
getting out of bed
Wondering why?

Somethings not right
I make my way to the kitchen to
eat some delicious breakfast
I look to the right and see clothes stacked up so high

It took me a while but i finally figured it out
OH no.
Today is Saturday
Its laundry day
I  knew something wasn't right

So I quickly hurried back to my bed
It was a little to late
The first thing i want in the morning is for no one to wake me up.

there something about

There was something about the way he looked her in her eyes.
She can tell he was all about integrity and not lies.
Something about the way he told her he loved her.
She really thought they were meant to be.
but soon enough everything turned out to be all a lie.
She wanted to talk today you didnt want to you told her to go away.
But how can she?
When her heart was telling her too stay.
She thinks of  you everyday
at school and at home hoping you will answer but you left her all alone
her heart is in two places because when she looks at you she sees two places;
at times you're unrecognizable
So now she's gone in denial
she does'nt want to live without you.
yet she was not satified with you near
but now that your gone
all she see's in the mirror are tears
dripping into the puddle
hoping you'll slip in it and fall right on your face
The face that she can't see.
There was something about the way he looked in her eyes.

When we said our goodbyes

When he got out the car that was the last time i had seen him.
Its crazy that love ones seem to change like the seasons.
Its sad that sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with a GOODBYE.
But the tears that I cry seemed to never dry.
After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and falling in love.
When you held me i never wanted you to let go.
You begin to learn that kisses dont always mean something and promises can be broken just as they are told.
I just want to say thank you for what you put me threw.
I wish this sign had came to me long ago.
Because i done been threw this to many times before.
So sometimes GOODBYES really are forever.
