    Author

    Mrs. Ward

    An original Georgia peach I was born and raised in Augusta Georgia. I’ve resided in Atlanta Georgia for the past nine years and have come to make it my home. I’m a wife, mother of two, with two sisters, a sister-in-law, two brothers, three nieces, two nephews, and a host of other relatives. I’ve always had a passion for writing. I started writing poetry at an early age, and have recently decided to do something with it. I hope you can share my passion and support me with my debut collection of poetry.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      I would like to thank my Husband for putting up with me, and my kids Krishawna and Latrell for loving me. Thank you to my mother for raising such a great mind, and my siblings for giving me such a hard time. I would also like to say thanks to my family for their never-ending support. I would like to dedicate this book to all my true friends who encouraged me to be the best. Without all the things that happen in life this book would never have been possible so, Thank you for being a part of my life.

      Finally

      For years I’ve watched you and everyday I wonder;

      I thought about you quietly as my heart loudly pondered.

      You came into my life and changed my whole world.

      I could never imagine us together me being your girl.

      Leaving a loving life I thought I once knew;

      Who knew this path would lead me to you?

      You crept up quietly and changed my whole life.

      I wonder if one day you’ll make me your wife!

      I can never imagine us having an ending,

      And I will never forget our beautiful beginning.

      A world once two now brought together.

      We’ve now made it through our stormy weather.

      Who brought you here for me to have to love to own?

      I don’t know I just need you here to sit on your throne.

      Now that you’ve got me, and you’ve had your way;

      Tell me where to go and that’s where I’ll stay.

      I’m all yours just tell me what to do.

      I know you love me, and I will forever love you.

      Knight

      Dark chocolate just the right fit.

      There’s no other you’d rather be with.

      Cooks and cleans what more can one do?

      There’s no one more perfect for you.

      Loving the love and loving the life.

      Two years ago he made you his wife.

      Is it full of love, or is it full of lies?

      Who knows what lies behind my big brown eyes?

      Everything put together, nothing left undone.

      How sure are you that you’re the only one?

      Is it your love, or is it your tongue?

      How could you be sure in a love so
