THE HONEY WELL BABY GIRL
Baby girl, baby girl, you‘re born into a world in which you are a pearl. You’re precious, you’re pure, you’re lovely to behold, yet you’re ignorant to the world of troubles that shadow you.
If you are not protected, you will be used, abused, stolen and misused, maybe your life taken to render you voiceless. For you, baby girl, are born with something more precious than the golden sweet honey made by the honey bees.
Kings have abdicated, battles have been fought once eyes have set upon your beauty and man has tasted of your honey. Some men will not wait to be worthy, some men will seize what is yours by right of birth.
You can choose, baby girl, you can decide—you have a will, you have a voice, let no one take it from you.
Baby girl, baby girl, grow in mind, grow in body, grow in spirit, and nurture your soul. Protect yourself, respect yourself, and know that only you can lose yourself.
PROMISES TO KEEP When in the arms of death a loved one departs, the flood of tears that are mournfully shed will never wash the pain from our hearts. The precious memories that remain in our heads are ours until the day from this life we all part.
WEEPING WILLOWS DANCE The seasons of our lives are ever changing and ever blooming. As one life ends, another life begins. Throughout our lives, at any given age, we know with spring comes rebirth and another chance to go after what we want most. We set our sights and sway like the weeping willow tree on a breezy day, standing our ground against all obstacles that come our way, always proving that we’re strong and will let nothing or no one keep us from our goal. The Lord never promised us an easy life, he only promised us life. What we do with it, is on us.
SHADES OF JADE The heart doesn’t lie. It feels what it feels, it loves who it loves. |
