I AM STILL THAT WOMAN

I dont mean to brag
but i have been close enough
to know who you are
i have been there every night
watching you fall asleep
i have known what it means
to be loved by you

it was a beautiful experience
its in my heart......





 I am still that woman
you want to walk down the aisle
still that woman
you want to spend your life with
better still
the mother to your children










 i feel honoured......




 I am stiil that woman
who keeps reminding you
that she loves you deeply
am still that woman
who can stand you
in all of your seasons
i am that woman who knows you
and still sticks by

 and you know what that means....





I am still that woman
who smiles even at her worst
still that woman
who says all will be fine soon
i am still that woman
that keeps your mind busy
better still the one in your dreams

 i am still that woman....





I will remind you each day
that love has no speed limits
it knows no time bound
and when it is true
it barely fades down
it gets stronger with every
challenge










i am still that woman.....

NO HOPE IN TOWN

by Desma Winnie Wood on Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 6:04pm ·

This street was my everyday way
it kept me conscious of my day
that everyday something happens
to ignite a fallen spirit in me
was it the little child crying?










 Or the teenage mother trying?
I couldnt tell where my heart lay
but i knew that in both of them
there was no hope

this restaurant,my everyday eatery
it kept my teeth busy when jittery
that evryday we should strive to share
even if its the last of what we have
was it the shrugged boy with atin?








 Or the old dirty man in the bin?
I couldnt tell who needed me more
all i could understand is that
they had no hope

this house where i lived all seasons
autumn,summer,winter,spring for a reason
but my mind wasnt at peace at all
because i wasnt calm at all
was it the shanties i saw everyday home?







Or the homeless people so alone?
I couldnt tell who suffered more
but it was all in their eyes
there was no hope

in this town i lived all my life
many think it gives solutions to all strife
but i would beg to differ
i dont know what brings multitudes to town
is it the tall buildings,clean streets,parks?






Or the unexisted jobs,or just aname?
I dont know,maybe poverty is a new lifestyle
attracts less but finds many
because in town...
There is no hope
