Jeanette Matthews Poems

Tell me what does family mean to you
Is it all the little special things one another do
Or is it the bond that one another has
Maybe its the love from one generation to another one it pass
...

I am apart of history
History lies deep down inside of me
I am like Martin Luther King
Just like him I'm going to let freedom ring
...

A single mother working two jobs was you
No one in this world could stand a chance to do what you do
You worked hard to put food on our plate
Showed up to every school game not once were you late
...

Should I wait for you to fall in love with me
Or should I just forget about it and let it be
I don't want to wait for heartbreak
Because you and I both know this is something I can't take
...

I feel stupid for letting you go
And L feel even more stupid for you coming close
I feel as if nothing in the world are promised to someone
And its either fall in love or be stuck dreaming all by your lonesome
...

You left this world and I didn't share a tear
I don't know why I didn't feel pain but I felt fear
I felt as if you belonged where you were
And God arms surrounded by nothing but love and care
...

Committment, how could that word not mean as much to you
Tell me why don't you show it to me as much well like I've shown it to you
No, no don't jump to conclusion because I'm not saying that you don't treat me right
I'm just saying you should have warn me and we would have avoided this whole fight
...

How could you lie to me with a straight face not caring about how I feel
How could you lay there in my arms and tell me that those feeling were so real
And how could you tell me that everything was okay when you know that it never exist
Just tell me baby how could you say that we were in love when all you did was simply resist
...

I waited for your call but the phone didn't ring
I can't believe your definition of the word mean
I cried for two whole night's and you don't care
And a shoulder to lean on is something you don't share
...

I surrender to love with my hands in the air
Because I have found someone who will truly be there
Love I am ready and willing to do as you say
I really don't care about the price I have to pay
...
