Probably Grief

Now, nearing my own nadir I reflect on

All things never said and seldom done

I have come around to the emptiness

That eats my heart

I have to define it, know it, and name what

This feeling is

Because it is not longing, or lust, or want

It does not spring from an absence of love

It is not surety, or the shame it brings

Or hurt, or regret, honestly

And it is not care for what others think

I lost touch with remorse in the 7^th grade

What I feel, I think, is probably grief

That there is no such thing as a happy ending

No such thing as second chances

No cavalry coming from just beyond the hills

3 LOVE KEYS FROM MOMS

by Lynda Spirit Baptiste

This past Mother’s Day gave me a chance to be so in touch with one simple truth… If you are breathing be thankful. If you have any Mother issues, it just does not matter, be grateful. Because one thing is for certain and two things are for sure; you would not be breathing if you did not first have a Mother. I take nothing away from Fathers. They are equally important, but if God decided and Your Mom labored to give you life, you owe YOU the very best life YOU can live. And I hope you are not second guessing that!

Advice Mothers Gave to the Men in Our Lives…

LOVATIONSHIP GURU’S speak straight from their hearts this Mothers Day to their Mom’s and Caregiver’s with the words of love they do not put in Hallmark Cards.

To NATALIE,

MOM…I want to say to you this Mother’s Day!

Mom I am who I am today because of the way I always saw you had an open minded attitude toward all kinds of different people and different things. And I saw the way that you helped anybody in need without ever worrying about getting paid back or having it reciprocated back to you and because of that I am exactly like you.

To BRENDA,

MOM…I want to say to you this Mother’s Day!

I LOVE YOU Mom FOR SHOWING ME HOW TO BE A FATHER TO MY KIDS AND FOR INSTILLING RESPONSIBILITY IN ME. Now I am responsible to my family. As you know, I am in my kid’s lives 110%. Mom I thank you for always taking care of me even though my Father was not there. You raised me to be a strong, loving Black man BECAUSE OF THE MOTHER YOU ARE.

To MARGARET,

MOM…I want to say to you this Mother’s Day!

I love you Mom, for giving me strength and although my father was not there, I still have the ability to be the Best Man that I can be for my children.  And, in spite of any circumstances that I may have gone through, it was a learning tool for what not to do when it comes to my children.  So…I thank you Mom and I love you for that.
