Another year

two oooh
two decades
more life

challenge each day
smile at success
cry tears of pain

cant fall down
permanently.
Must get back up

time flies
pass me by
pick up
where we left off
must go on

live and learn
a blessing in disguise
thank you
for another year

more learning
more living
more tears
more smiles

all part of another year to come

Latina

My bones
My sway
My talk
Latina

My heritage
My family
My blood
Latina

Doesn't matter the shade
Of your skin
Of your eyes
Of your hair

Doesn't matter the way
You live
Or where you live
With who you live

Heart of hearts
Latina
To the core

Celebrate that heritage
Embrace that culture

Latina
No matter what

For the sway of my hips
The fire in my eyes

Latina
From birth to death
Womb to grave

Even in death
With that belief

Latina
Loud and proud
She stands in the crowd
With that sway
With that attitude
Only the latina could have

Latina
Proud to be
Celebrate your culture
Celebrate your heritage

Latina
Through and through
No matter what they say

Latina

Soy Latina

Orgullosa de ser Latina

Love come a knocking

Love come a knocking 

Loves got me stopping

Knocking real loud

Breaking down my door

A knocking comes love

Love comes a knocking

Kisses showering

Cleansing my soul

Shower me with love

Escaping my prison

Love come a knocking

A knocking love comes

True identity

Flourished hope

Fluttering hearts

Conducting fire

A knocking love comes

Love comes a knocking

Open the door

Bullet proof door

Knock it down

Turn the door knob

Love comes a knocking

A knocking comes love

Unexpectedly

Unannounced 

Love come a knocking 

On my door

Someday

One day

A knocking on your door

Beauty

Beauty all around me
in the kinks of your hair
and the smell of your hair

lavender, vanilla, coco

eye of the beholder
takes in whats all over
beauty that is sober
not plastered all over

those eyes that smile
those eyes that reveal
that true beauty within
its been all around me

my growth
your growth
our growth
brings beauty into bloom

blossoms
summer time fine
full fall fashion
bling blang blow
go with the flow
your are beauty

don't ever forget
that beauty thats around you
i lost it
i found it
i enjoy it even from afar
that look in your eye
its a sight
the wonder
the joy
its all just a start

beauty comes
from within
from around
beauty is part of our souls
eye of the beholder
hold on to that beauty

hold on tight
before you lose that beauty
and those eyes can no longer behold
