I WANT 2 BE HEARD......... MY THOUGHTS, MY WANTS, MY DESIRES, & MY NEEDS I WANT 2 BE SEEN.... MY PHYSICAL, MY DETERMINATION, MY WORK ETHIC, MY RESPECT 4 ALL THAT I ENCOUNTER, MY TALENT, & LUV 4 MY PEOPLE I WANT 2 BE TOUCHED.... NOT JUST BY THE TENDERNESS OF HER LIPS ON MY CHEEK OR BY THE WARM SOFTNESS OF HER HAND ON MY BACK I WANT 2 BE TOUCHED.... IN MY MIND, MY EMOTIONS, MY SPIRIT, THE DEPTH OF WHERE MY HEART BEGINS I WANT 2 BE WHAT MY CHILDREN NEED; A FATHER THAT WILL IMPART WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE, TEACH THEM THAT IN ORDER 2 HAVE YOU MUST BE WILLING 2 BLESS OTHERS I NEED TO LET MY SON KNOW HOW A WOMAN SHOULD BE TREATED & RESPECTED; ESPECIALLY THE 1 HE INTENDS TO MARRY 1 DAY MY DAUGHTER NEEDS 2 KNOW HOW THAT, "1", MAN SHOULD TREAT HER IF HE IS 2 BE HER FRIEND, PROVIDER, PROTECTOR, & HUSBAND THE 1 WHO WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE, BUT WILL ALWAYS STAY I WANT 2 BLESS MY MOMMA AND DADDY 4 THEIR SACRIFICES, HOW THEY FED ME, CLOTHE ME, SHELTERED ME EVEN WHEN THE MONEY WASN'T LOOKING TOTALLY "GREEN" THEY STILL MADE THINGS WORK, ALLOWING "SHORTCAKE" & ME 2 HAVE BETTER THAN MOST I WANT MY "LADY" 2 KNOW I LUV HER & DEEPLY REGRET THE HEARTACHE I BROUGHT 2 HER WORLD I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHETHER I PLEASE ALL OF WHOM I ENCOUNTER, 4 IT ONLY MATTERS WHEN IT COMES 2 THOSE THAT HAVE THE PIECES OF MY HEART THAT I ALLOWED 2 BE TOUCHED WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES & BREATHE NO MORE, I WANT TO BE AT PEACE WITH MYSELF, MY PEOPLE, MY LORD, & MY SAVIOR HOWEVER MY LIFE MAY BE AT THIS MOMENT; ON THAT DAY THIS IS WHAT.................
