I AM SOMEBODY!
Charmaine Betty-Singleton
Don't look at me and judge me
Because I don't look or talk like you
I am an engineer, doctor, lawyer, nurse, hairdresser, preacher.
Yes, I said preacher and right now I am about to teacha.
That I am Somebody!
You see, I am the head and not the tail,
Above and not below,
I an unique, confident, and debonair.
I am so, so cool, it just ain't fair.
I am Somebody!
I am created in Gods image,
I believe just what He says,
That I am a child of the King,
An heir to the throne,
My Daddy's royalty,
You beta leave me alone.
I am Somebody!
I am a David in the making.
I may appear different, timid and small.
Buh step to me the wrong way,
and my God will make you fall.
I am Somebody!
I am a Deborah for suh.
Talented, gifted, and beautiful
an awesome sight to behold.
Just don't get it twisted about
my appearance,
I am a leader with authority,
A woman definitely in control.
I am Somebody!
I am a king, a queen, a ruler, a leader,
Singer, author, an athlete.
Sit down and recognize that I am blessed and highly favored.
With this you can't compete,
I am Somebody!
I am not boasting or bragging, what I say is the honest truth.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made,
and can be used by God just like
Sara, Moses, Joseph, and Ruth.
I am Somebody!
So the next time you want to judge me,
and call me out my name,
Just stop and remember we are related, are connected
by the blood, we are not different, we are the same.
My God is your Daddy, He loves both me and you,
confess, believe, and call on Gods name
And He will bless you too.
And because of Gods love, I can and will declare,
I am Somebody! You are Somebody! We are Somebody!
I am Somebody!
SUCCESS
Author Unknown
Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people’s ways
In doing just the best you can
With every task and every plan
It’s silence when your speech would hurt
Politeness when your neighbor’s curt
It’s deafness when the scandal flows
And Sympathy with the other’s woes
Its loyalty when duty calls
It’s courage when disaster falls
It’s patience when the hours are long
It’s found in laughter and in song
It’s in the silent time of prayer
In happiness and in despair
In all of life and nothing less
We find this thing we call success.
IF YOU THINK …YOU CAN
Kristone
If you think you’re beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t
It’s almost sure that you won’t
If you think your losing, you’ve lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a person’s will
It’s all in the state of the mind
If you think you’re outclassed, you are
You’ve got to think high to rise
You have to stay with it
In order to win the prize
Life’s battles don't always go
To the one with the better plan
For more often than not you will win
If only you think that you can.
One Love
Charmaine Betty-Singleton
One love, is a feeling burning deep down within
That convicts you to care for another….no matter the skin
Even when the world around you is spinning out of control
One love, helps you be the example and to break the mold….
One love, causes you to help the homeless, mentor to children
and answer the call when someone is crying
It allows you to be the advocate when things are not right, and to stand up,
and prevent someone from dying
Yes, one love is powerful, one love is joy
One love is good for both a girl and a boy
So where does one love come from….where does one start
I tell you what…just look and examine your heart
One love is pure, one love is peace…ahhh, to be honest one love is oh so sweet
When we love one another we get closer, we prosper, we build a better community
Because simply speaking…One love, my love, your love equals UNITY.
