At last...

This is the day that the Lord has made...

On the pulse of the morning I see a new dawn
A new new day has finally come on

I am so elated
I can hardly find words
I am crying this moment
I am indeed unnerved
Its a special time
Its a joyous hour
I cannot believe Barack Obama has been given this power
His wife is Michelle Wow she is as black as me
And those sweet little girls Sasha and Malia

I cant believe it. Is it a dream?
Is it real?
I can barely describe the way I feel

It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
But CHANGE is finally here

I see you smiling. Obama, Oh joy!
Your grandmother blessed you when you were a boy
You are so pleasant, so cool, so wise
I see a beautiful future for America in your eyes
You are such an inspiration
Such a melody of peace
A smile so promising
A word so sweet
I am almost breathless
I have been giving an unthinkable wish

I never thought it would happen
Truly I never imagined this

A sweet sweet victory for democrats, for Black people, for America, for the world
The red white and blue of the flag unfurls
For you, For us, For the dream

In DC. Full Capacity. Many smiling faces. In awe. Black&White. Goodness abounds.

I haven't written a poem in a very long time
But today this is the best way to let you know what is in my mind
I am so elated
I am so happy
So surprised
God has orchestrated this day to come at this time
In honor of my grandmother
In honor of the slaves
The sharecroppers
The soldiers
The lives lost
The Katrina victims
The September 11 victims
The fire fighters
The Red Cross
In honor of all the families who have suffered or lost
This one is for you

I am so glad to have you Obama
President Obama
Thank you restoring hope to the hopeless
You are so pleasant, so cool, so wise
I see a beautiful future for America in your eyes

Welcome, Obama family!
This one is for you
This is not a dream...It's a dream come true

Happy New Year!!!

I hope my bad days are all a thing of the past. I hope you and your family come to realize how wonderful you are and appreciate each other everyday. It's Obama Year yall! I know this year we are going to learn so many new and exciting things! Whew! I learned so much in 2008. I learned that before a person can find love from others they must first accept and love their family. I also learned that patience is the key...for real. If you are not patient there is so much you can miss out on. I also realized some things...

*Real Love is not always romantic
*The truth is liberating although costly
*A job cannot be your all and all
*Nothing on earth can make you happy, it comes from within
*God is not playing when he says he will be there for you
*Respect is paramount in a relationship
*Your words can ruin or save you
*People are so different but everyone desires to be loved & accepted
*The simple things in life are more valuable than diamonds
*It is better to smile than cry
*Changing your mind, will change your finances
*Effective Communication is most important
*Emotional stability trumps Financial stability
*You are the most important, nobody else can love you like you can
*Being happy is a necessity not an option
*Everything is possible as long as you BELIEVE

In this new year, 2009, I vow to put Sun first. Here is a message a stranger sent me:
"May in incoming year reflect the brightness of your name.
So powerful in radiance that it over shadows the turbulence of yesterday through the seconds of the morning. Awaken with a smile, knowing you bring a newness of life".

Isn't that amazing?

This year I will also change my wardrobe;

*No more boot cut jeans; (been wearing em' since I was 14..enough is enough)
*Pumps are a must. All colors. solid blk, purple, red, silver, etc.
*Everything I wear will make a statement and be cute in some shape or form

Last but not least, I will "do me" which I have found out from deep analytical research...it means to do what makes me ME. I am unique and I know what I enjoy so no matter how fly or intelligent someone else is, I must have my own thing going on...make myself happy...and to me, that is what being beautiful is all about.

Don't you agree?
