THIS IS THE REAL ME

Would you like to know the REAL me

This is my own description of who I really am

I am someone’s daughter, an aunt

A cousin, granddaughter, and someone’s sister

This is the real me.

When people make fun of me, they make sad

If people don’t have a kind word to say, I don’t listen

I am blessed and proud to be myself

And I don’t have to be anyone else

This is the real me.

I am so much happier than I’ve ever been in my life

No one can make me do what I don’t want to do

When I greet people, I always give them hugs

I don’t make or poke of fun of them because they don’t deserve it

This is the real me.

I am a kind person with a kind heart

I laugh when I’m happy, and I cry when I’m sad

I’m a very happy person because God created me

I am just a person, nothing more, nothing less

This is the real me.

MY LOVER AND MY FRIEND

My dearest friend

You are my life, my heart, and my soul mate

When I needed someone to comfort me, you were there

For me

When I prayed to God for someone special, you were the answer to my prayers

My dearest friend

When my heart was broken, you came along to put it back together

No one can make me laugh or smile the way that you do

You stood by me throughout my ups and downs, and my triumphs and disappointments

No matter where I go or what I do, you’re always there with me

My loving and dearest friend

Thank you for showing me love, friendship, and compassion

My heart is full and my life is now complete

I can smile and I can love again because of you

And because of you, you are my lover and my friend.

BEST FRIENDS TO HAVE

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers

Aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and grandparents and grandchildren

They all have one thing in common

They can all be best of friends

Husbands, wives, girlfriends, and boyfriends

They can also be best friends

Just like having a family pet as a best friend

Sons and daughters can also be the best of friends

Having a best friend is a blessing and a gift

Your best friend can be with you no matter what

If you don’t have anyone to lean on, you can always depend on your best friend

Because having friends in your life are the best friends to have.

A MOTHER’S DAY POEM

This poem is especially dedicated to all the mothers of the world

Mother’s Day is all about our mothers

From the moment we were first born, we were their child

Our mothers are a gift from God to help our fathers

But to us, we are their gift and their blessing.

Mothers are mentors, teachers, and guardian angels

As well as your best friend

When a child needs someone to talk to or to lean on,

They can lean on their mothers and their fathers

Fathers, as well as mothers, can be their child’s best friend no matter what happens

Because their children need a mother and a father to lean on

So let us rejoice and be happy to have our mothers in our lives

No matter where we go or what we do, our mothers are there to help us on our journey life

God gave us one mother and one father to love and adore

On Mother’s Day, let us say thank you to our mothers and our fathers for being in our lives.

I AM GRATEFUL TO YOU

I am grateful to you for everything that’s been going good in my life

I am grateful for the many blessings that you have lovingly and graciously given to me

If it wasn’t for your love, your wisdom and your courage and your kindness

There would never be a brighter, more beautiful vision for me to see.

You’re my guardian angel and my guiding light that shines brightly in the sky

You are the
