I Choose You



Gone are the days of holiday longing and despair
No emptiness
No sadness
No discontent
All I could ever want for Christmas
I choose you
Personifying the fruits of the spirit
You are
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
faithfulness
gentleness
goodness
self control
I choose you
All I have prayed for
Placing family above all
Honoring mother and father
voice of reason
pillar to the weary
Friend until the end
I choose you
The kink of your hair
Fire glowing beneath bronze skin
Eyes weaving intricate tales which draw one near
Easy laughter tumbling from kissable lips
Intoxicating
Adorable
Sensual
Loveable
I choose you
Intelligent
Witty
Worldy
Accomplished
The world is your oyster
Your character the pearl
Gifted beyond measure
Many would stand in your place and
Condescend
Marginalize
Ostracize
Yet you remain
Grounded
Earthy
Compassionate
Advocating for those who cannot for themselves
Trading prestige for empowerment
An idol rising
I choose you
Personfying the fruits of the spirit
You are
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
faithfulness
gentleness
goodness
self control
A Goddess indeed
I Choose You

Beautifull my Sister!
In the words of Jill Scott:
Uno es todo
Comprende...
...So many times I define my pride
through somebody else's eyes
Then I looked inside and found my own stride,
I found the lasting love for me
If I'm searching for my spirituality
Passionately I must begin with me

There's just me...
One is the magic number
