You don't know like I know

About Me

Facebook me!Eddie asked me to marry him on Friday morning August 6, 2005. We live in San Diego, CA both attending school and working. I enjoy spending time with him, going to my church, the beach, and hanging out with all of our extended family. I try not to take life for granted because we all know that tomorrow is not promissed...the rest of the day isn't either. I am grateful for all of my blessings and If I had a million tongues I still couldn't thank my God enough...I know ya'll feel me on that one.Psalm 66:12 We went through fire and through water but YOU brought us out to rich fulfillment.

My Interests

Maya Angelou

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame - I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain - I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear - I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear - I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.


I'd like to meet:

Nelson Mandela, Correta Scott King, Oprah, Maya Angelou, Tracie Mcgrady (sorry Bubba)
