My Destiny

My life has been filled with mistakes
Going full speed when I should have hit the breaks
Other times running forward for other's sake
Each mishap forcing me to swim in the life of dread's lakes

My destiny has presented itself time and time again
But I always deny it and chose a way I know I can not win
You would think my chances would just end
Yet here I sit, back at that same destiny's bend

Just as the times before the signs point me to a land far away
Only this time there is you and I feel everything will be okay
You stand firm when fear starts to creep in and my thoughts turn to disarray
I am completely soothed by the loving things you say

Destiny saw fit to come back around
Determined to transplant me to new ground
With a security and love in you I've found
Yes I am finally Ghana bound

You encourage me to be bold
Together we will grow old
Forever each other we will hold
"Us" to me you have completely sold

My destiny will come to pass
Whether it happens slow or fast
My future has been cast
And with it a love that will forever last!

A Heart Renewed

For so long I have lived in a world of black and white
Never saw a change to this in sight
Just excepted it as my life's plight
Understanding that love would never again make it bright

I had come to terms to the daily grind of a mundane life
Never would I be someones lovely wife
It may be lonely but at least it created no strife
My heart would never again be cut into pieces by love's knife

I thought I would forever be blue
And then I was blessed with you
How deep my heart would open I had no clue
I found myself hanging on every thing you say and do

Suddenly my life was filled with color right before my eyes
Life's outlook from me began to rise
Soaring on cloud nine I began to fly
And my love for you I could not deny

The thought of you causes my heart to race
When I close my eyes your image my mind begins to trace
Your voice puts a smile on my face
While in my dreams I feel your sweet embrace

My feelings I can not hide
I love you so much it can't be contained inside
In my world I need you to always abide
I don't ever want off of this love ride

Because of you my life began to rumble and shake
I finally feel alive for goodness sake
If this is a dream I pray to never wake
Without you in my life my heart would surely break

A love like ours is so rare
I need you like a breath needs air
I can not express how much I care
Baby I promise for you I will always be there!

A Twist in Fate

I was struggling with life
Trying to muddle through the strife
Problems seemed to be tumbling down
Was so sure nothing could turn it around
I wore a smile that hid my pain
While at night the tears poured like a summer rain
This seemed to be the life I was destined to lead
It would never matter what I need...

Then one day a message popped up on my screen
I had no idea what it would come to mean
He was so gentle and kind
Suddenly he was always on my mind
I began to seek him out
While my broken mind he began to re-route
Still not sure when the love began to start
Or how this amazing man took control of my heart

He has become my best friend
And the shattered parts of me he has begun to mend
My heart he has claimed
And my life will never be the same
I can now smile through the tears
Knowing he is always near
In him I have found my missing soulmate
Brought together by an awesome twist of fate

My days are looking bright
And my burdens seem lite
His love has lifted me to a new high
And put a sparkle in my eye
He held the key
to make me happier than I ever  thought I could be
This man is one of a kind
And I am so happy to call him mine!
