Elevate(her)

Elevate(her)

I look across my path and see her standing there

She’s got this look right on her face

I can tell somethings not right, so I asked myself

Do I mind my business and keep it movin

Or maybe walk up and do what I’m feeling, elevate her

I pick the latter and make my move

She looks up at me as I approach as if she knows what I’m here for

I asked her “how are you, are you ok?”

She gave me a slight smile and said yes she was fine thanks

Being my concerned self I asked, “are you sure?”

Of course she said no this time, but then surprised me

I witnessed her begin to break down in tears and I knew something was up

She confided in me and told me what was wrong

So I did my duty and treated her right

I don’t need to tell you all what was hurting her

You can come up with your own thoughts on that

Just know that I was there to elevate her

Make her feel higher than ever before

On a pedestal she had never known

We got back her confidence, made it her own

Sometimes I come right back to this place

Because I know that’s where she’ll be

If ever in need of me to be available

I’ll elevate her right back to where she needs to be

I'll Keep My Thoughts

I’ll Keep My Thoughts

There are those days where you just can’t stand

When things at work aren’t working, you’re family is acting up

The stress built up in you has just consumed you baby

And you’re just about ready to give it all up

I’m sitting on the couch and just listening to it all

You yell and then you yell some more, things sound bad

But wait…I have my family issues too, and school aint easy either

So how about I tell you all of my troubles and concerns

And we’ll find out just how much you’ll be there for me

I wonder if you will wrap your arms around me, tell me it’s ok

Massage my temples; make my favorite for dinner

Or maybe you will just fake

And I’ll regret that I even told you anything, what are you good for

But no, I won’t do that to you sweetie

I know things are hard for you right now, and that’s fine

I’m going to be here for you now and forever, because that’s just who I am

I love you, and I want you to be happy, so where were you again..
