Taken 4 Granted 2

My shoulder is always here for you to shed a tear on;
ears & arms are always open for you; backbone strong & upright if yours fails,

my lungs, heart & breath are the readied life support to give you life, if the need should arise…

I am supportive of your aspirations & dreams; yet your actions belie truths that your lips refuse to utter…

I’m everything that no one else ever managed to be 4 you b4.

I’m here for you but did it ever occur to you that maybe you should be the same for me??

Find your way back

GM! Thank U Father 4 this day! Often we get so caught up in life & everything else that we neglect the needs of our loved ones.

We take for granted that love will keep them by our side. Love alone isn’t enough to keep a relationship thriving.

Respect, friendship, compassion among other things are required as well.

Recognize & appreciate their worth before someone else does…

Make time for what & those that matter most. The things you take for granted, someone else will treasure.

Find your way back to the true essence of love. Find that beacon that will guide you back to where you truly belong.

Appreciate what you have before it becomes something you had.

Adieu

As the 1st tear ran down my cheek; I reflect on the sleepless nights its now been a week;
Wondering how this all went so wrong; how I’m reduced to Tears, I’m not too strong…

Confused by why I can’t let you go; though in my heart of hearts I somehow know; that we were never meant to be; a different path, a different destiny…

Tender thoughts we once confessed; Callous Words we now profess; how it all faded away; Pregnant silences nothing left to say…

Quell the Storm & raging sea; Calm the hurt that brews within me; Hide the Sun & send the rain; so that I may release this pain…

Turn this unrest into Peace;
Cause it all to abruptly cease;
Feeling so bereft & forlorn;
All because the love is gone…

Emotionally bankrupt; this was so very abrupt; I never thought I’d be here again, experiencing all this frustration & pain…

It took little faith to
Decide; How and when our Worlds would collide; Love should never know any boundaries; whether we’re separated by States or Countries…

Hearts now strewn in the distance; all because of a lack of patience; the time has come to bid you adieu; I’ve nothing left to say to you…

Be Blessed, Che’ xoxo

Make Time

GM All! Often we are unable to slow down long enough to enjoy life; the simple things that actually make it worth living.

We are so focused on everything but what really matters.

Money cannot buy happiness.
Sure it can provide us with the necessities & luxuries that one would associate with happiness.

At the end of the day when life gets to you can your money give you a reassuring hug and tell you that its going to be okay?

Can it comfort you when it seems as if nothing is going right, no matter how hard you try?

Can it tell you that you are amazing, appreciated, respected and loved beyond measure?

I’d say no. Now if your money can do all of that & then some, then you’re onto something truly special.

Make time for those that truly matter. It can be hard but think of what your life would be like without that special someone to love, respect,support, comfort & appreciate you, especially when you need it the most.

Don’t take for granted that they’ll continuously take a back seat to everything you have going on.

The same desires you have they have as well. No one wants to be viewed as a convenience, only to be “used” when necessary.

The same love and respect & appreciation you desire; they do as well.

Appreciate what you have while you still have it.

Make time for those that matter most!

Tomorrow is not promised; make a difference while you still have a chance.

The Clock is ticking!

Be Blessed, Che’ xoxo

I Salute You Reblogged! (via The Bipolar Experience)

In case you missed it the 1st time.

I think it is a Complete & utter insult 2 tell a Mother Happy Father's Day when the Father is clearly handling his business! Some females are not as fortunate as others to have a real man who handles his responsibilities & are forced to be both mother & father to their children. For some its easy to just walk away and shirk any responsibility, so at times the mother is left holding the bag so to speak, but lately, I have been seeing i … Read More

The Past

The Past…
There are reasons why you’re in the past,
So many reasons why we didn’t last,
while some things are better left unsaid,
I remember all that you did.

Though in my heart there’s no hate,
I pity the next one that you’ll date,
I’m hopeful that you’ve grown,
Cuz more maturity needs to be shown.

I only wish the best for you,
Hoping that one day you’ll be true,
Multiple Signs Why it wasn’t meant to be, I opened my eyes so I could see.

I’m not hurt just disappointed,
About all of the time that was wasted,
The experience taught me how to deal,
Time has taught me how to heal.

So I no longer think of the pain,
Just my future & all I have to gain,
Of my many goals to achieve,
and every blessing I’m yet to receive.

My future is so very bright,
nothing but success is in my sight,
I refuse to hold on to the past, wondering about why it didn’t last.

Peace & love to you my friend,
We’ve come to see this is the end,
Life is about what you make it,
Not about how well we faked it!
Che’ xoxo

Thank you for loving us unconditionally,
Being understanding when we mess up and do something stupid, for never judging our inability to make the right decisions.

Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on in times of heartache & sorrow, for giving us startling, albeit unsolicited reality checks, for bruising our egos when necessary and keeping us grounded.

But most of all, thank you for sacrificing your Figure; Youth, Uterus and Lifestyle so that we could be born.

To the Moms that have passed on during child birth, you are resting with the Angels, that was the most selfless act of love imaginable. Thank you, we have our own Personal Angel, looking down on us.

RIP to all the moms that are no longer with us!

To Moms doing dual duty, thanks 4 not neglecting your babies, just because he chose to 4 whatever reason & to the moms that are supporting kids that aren’t theirs; gr8 job!

To the Men that have had to step up & be both Mom & Dad, thank you!

Special Shout out to my Dad for recognizing the Special Characteristics in my mom &loving; marrying & starting a family with her!

Last but not least to special s/o to my mom Anna Telica Hernandez, thanx 4 giving birth to my siblings Dion, Rochelle , Joel & I.

In closing I’ll leave you with this:

We shouldn’t wait for 1 particular day to celebrate the love we have for our loved ones, nothing is promised, so celebrate your love and appreciation every chance you get!
