One of the reasons why....

I would like to share one of the reasons why I aspire to be more than what most can see. In this life I am attempting to live and breath far beyond the orthodox. I once heard Oprah say, "I am living to reach and share the best and fullest capacity of myself." So with this in mind and the blessing of being exposed to people who push me to strive for the "ultimate me" I continue to learn and share. I have God and the blessings of His Universe to thank for inspiration and motivation to continue this journey.

One of the reasons why.... Thanks Dr. Spaulding for changing my life...

A Close Second...

I just want to be a close second

I don’t desire to win the race

Or get the big trophy

I don’t care that my name isn’t announced with favor

Because I come real close

That’s good enough for me

Being that shoulder to cry on

As I cry towards the finish line

But that’s fine because nobody pays that much attention to second

And that’s fine because all that attention

I don’t care too much for

Favor first, Cherish first

I’m fine with that pat on the back

Cuz maybe with that touch

You’ll feel my energy

My passion and desire

Because although I’m fine with silver

Who really doesn’t strive for the gold?

So I’ll continue to chill in the cut

Waiting for my next opportunity

Maybe I could come in first this time

And dust the previous champion into oblivion

But until that day

I just want to be your close second…
