I waited to the last day of Black History Month to recognize these people who made a impact in my life before I knew how to walk. They say we recognize African-Americans who made a difference and a change in our life. Well I believe in my heart that these people did the same for me. I thank the people who made a impact in my life...If it wasn't for a dream, then I wouldn't know the truth. Yeah those people who stood up for our rights. Now the people about to mention did something important to me...they helped mold me. First, God had an idea about them, so he made it happen. Second, they put; knowledge, wisdom, love, courage, respect, honor, and everything you can think of to make...my parents. Yes people I am talking about my grandparents. If it wasn't for God and them I wouldn't be in this world. My grandmother from my mom side, Ermeise. Was the first woman to show me how strong of a woman she was through God. She always stood up for the family and showed love in the way she knew would help my mother become the woman she is today...awesome. School, respect, knowledge, caring, and don't hold your tongue was how she raised her family. It was hard for me to understand how and why she was the way she was...but now j know it was to make us grow into mature people (adults). She is one of my heroes and someone who helped raise me (I called her mommy). Now on my father side there is my grandfather (no matter real or not...he is my grandfather), we called him Fuzzy. This gentleman right here is my male hero and inspiration. Funny, knowledgeable, strong, reliable, and caring. Growing up he looked physically build...didn't look a day old with the muscles he had, aside from the grey hairs. He was a champion in my book. I always wanted spend time with him...sit back listen to his stories, watch sports and what him treat my grandmother (love you too G-Ma) with respect. Yeah that is who I look up too. Didn't see him a lot because we lived state apart but he was and still is my idol. These two people are apart of my life in spirit and they are tattooed on my back. I give respect and love to everyone in my family. Mom, Dad, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and the up above with them, God. And to those we lost in the past, may God bless them too. These two I believe made my motivation much stronger because of they love they had showed me. May they both R.I.P (Rest in Peace). You may be able to see this or not...but your grandson is proud, grateful, and blessed by God to have you two as my grandparents. I will make your legacy go as high as the heavens, where you sit and watch us from up above.
I sit here and think about the past, instead of the future. Where I was, instead of where I can go. I look up at the pale moonlight wondering what you have plan for me. But I can't shake the feeling of how much you've impacted my life, in more than one occasion. When I close my eyes all I can see is you. You always know how to brighten my days with your warm and beautiful smile. I cry when I see your face because of what you've been through for me and everyone else. You always listen when I need to express my feelings. Anytime of the day, night, morning, afternoon, and midnight. I know you'll always be there for me, to make me smile and or laugh when I'm lost. When I speak and or whisper your name, I feel your soul. Like I'm lost in a trance, that I have no issue in following. I know I have strange life and past. But I was and still am that righteous and patience person that my family raised me to become and helped mold me into. I dont ask much from you. But just two major request. And that is...God, please watch over and protect the ones I love and cherish the most with all my heart. And even the ones that are not most precious to me, protect them and watch over them. You are almighty and merciful God. ILY. GB and GN
There are many ways to get to someones Soul. But its never easy to do that. We try and try to get into there Soul by doing different things, saying different things, and showing different things. To me I believe to get into someones Soul without forcing and trying hard. You just simply "Sing". Let me say this again..."Sing". When your singing from the heart, its communicates to another persons Soul. People sing because they know it will reach and be close to your home and heart. To be honest I only sing when I wanna communicate my true feelings, so your Soul knows that this is real. If mine and your voice can sing and it makes you smile and cry, then both our songs can only be called "Soul Music". I may not sing like there artist out there, but when I sing...I know you will smile because my voice and my soul makes you feel warm and fuzzy. So if you wanna get to someones Soul and see how they feel about you, Sing! Now do you see why voices are meant to be heard instead of hiding it. For me, I should say the same thing but I only chose a select few to hear my voice through music because I believe they deserve it and also because I want them to know. The songs I sing, comes from my heart and soul so you know its real. So stop trying to find and or try to get to someones Soul the hard way. Sing to them and all should be clear. Sing to the ones you care about and see if you've have touched there Soul through Music. If that works, then you picked the right Soul to sing too. But also, see if they can do the same back because 2 Souls needs to communicate instead of 1. I hope my singing reached to your Soul instead of your Heart. Now go on world...SING THAT SOUL MUSIC!!!
