I Got Flowers Today

(Dedicated to all Battered Women)
I got flowers today!
It wasn't my birthday or any other special day;
We had our first argument last night;
And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt;
I know that he is sorry and didn't mean to say the things he said;
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today!
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day;
Last night he threw me into a wall and then started choking me;
It seemed unreal, a nightmare, but you wake up from nightmares;
And I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over — but I know he is sorry;
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today!
And it wasn't Valentines Day or any other special day;
Last night he beat me and threatened to kill me;
Make-up and long sleeves didn't hide the cuts and bruises this time;
I couldn't go to work today because I didn't want anyone to know — but I know he's sorry;
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today!
And it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day;
Last night he beat me again, and it was worse than all of the other times;
If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of the kids? What about money?
I'm afraid of him, but I'm too scared and dependent to leave him! But he must be sorry;
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today….
Today was a special day — it was the day of my funeral;
Last night he killed me;
If only I would have gathered the courage and strength to leave him;
I could have received help from the Women's Shelter, but I didn't ask for their help;
So I got flowers today — for the last time.

A Tribute to ME

I AM SPECIAL. I AM BLESSED.
There is nobody on this earth who looks exactly like me. I have UNIQUE talents and personality.
I was born to fulfill a purpose that nobody else can. God has designated me with that responsibility because only I am equipped to do so. I am queen in my own right. I need no permission to be me. I am good just the way I am. All that God created is wonderful, and I am SUPER WONDERFUL!

I am DIVINITY, I am linked to the supreme core and I have a role to play in this world drama. I have all that I require and most of it comes from within. There is no need to impress anyone. I was BORN inherently IMPRESSIVE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ME!

I Am Strong and Blessed

Sometimes I find myself in situations that my not necessarily be right or divinely designed for me, and I am convinced that when I am where I'm supposed to be even though there may be some challenges along the way, I will by extension be happy, I see happiness as a symbolic expression or an attempt to express the radiance of the divine shining through me.

We all know when we are being celebrated or just simply being tolerated, I think of those experiences, situations and people who brought happiness to my life and then there were those areas of time when I know in my inner deep place of knowing that I were being tolerated. Then I find myself in the valley of indecision, I feel that I have no option or way out, but the challenge is always what choice to make, do I make the choice myself or do I wait for someone else to make the choice for me? The choice which will affect my life. Well frankly this is as good as it gets even though I am as miserable as I can ever be.

Heaven and hell isn't somewhere or some place out of this world it's here and now but who says things can't get better or that I do not deserve better who says that I DO NOT because I am woman, I am strong and blessed. Blessed.

I Am Woman A Motivational Poem From The Heart And Soul

I come in many shapes and colors

. I am soft and delicate, but nothing to play with.  I stand on my own two feet, I depend on one.

I am Woman, I am strong, beautiful, unique, a fighter and survivor. I am Woman, irresistible, seductive, sexy, and voluptuous. Yes I am

I play many roles, Mother, Aunt, Sister and Grandmother. I’m bad and loving it. Looking good like a woman should, I stand out like a skyscraper and stand strong like a house build with bricks.

I get a kick out of challenges, nothing holds me down.  I’m always ready for the next round. I do need love from a good man, a man that’s not afraid to really be what a man should.

I am Woman seducing you with the swing of my hips, temptation at its best.  My soft curves and my beautiful tresses are longing for your soft caress. I am defined by my mind not my beauty. One look in my eyes and you are mesmerize by my strength, my dedication and strive to survive.

I’m a proud lover and achiever letting no one astray me from my ambition. I’m more sensitive then the opposite sex, but I fight my battles and have won many wars. I hold it down like no other, protecting my children from life’s evil. Molding them into their best physically and morally and I must say I look pretty good doing it.

Woman to Woman we go through a lot struggling to be to be treated as equal in society and in relationships. We love hard with disregard of how we are sometimes treated. We deserve the best and never the less we will always be Queens of our throne.

I am proud of my womanhood, I am proud of who I am. Independent, strong willed, provider, nurturing and flamboyant of my style. I love driving men wild.

Loving who I am every part of me, I’m not perfected but I am a site to see.
I am Woman
