Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT ME!

    I Am the Future

    I am the future and the fate of this world is in my hands

    I believe in myself and my abilities
    To be the very best person that I can be

    I am the future and the fate of this world is in my hands

    Through loving myself I can love others too,
    When I respect myself, it's my will to respect you

    I am the future and the fate of this world is in my hands

    I am going for the Gold Medal in everything I do
    I will to achieve because what I know is true
    I am the future and the fate of this world is in my hands

    I am the future and the fate of this world is in my hands


I Am

I Am strong
I Am rich
I Am powerful
I Am whole
I Am free

This will always be the truth of who I AM
Whether I AM is alone with you or present with me


What I Can't Do

Don't tell me what I can't do
What's hard for you is hard for you
Even nothing is not impossible procrastinators call it rest
Lazy people without any effort in my book do nothing best
I prefer to see possible in front of abilities
Although if it were in back I could still work with ease
Just don't tell me what I can't
What's hard for you is hard for you
Listen to limits being put on me
I confess one thing to be true
I will not receive it in my spirit
For there's no thing that I can't do
I can do anything I tell myself
I can be who I am and what I choose to be
I am poor, I am rich,
I am bound or I am happy and free
So don't tell me what I can't do
Because what's hard for you
Is just hard for you

CHAPTER 2

ME MYSELF AND I

Me Myself and I

I was talking to myself this morning
Trying to figure out what is best for Me
"Leave Me alone", I said I will be alright
I just want to be alone with Myself
But don't ask Me why
I get protective and withdraw sometimes
Because I don't want anybody bothering Me
Sometimes, being with Me is really good
It's just being alone with Myself that
usually disturbs Me
Sometimes it is not easy loving Me
But I do love Me and I love myself
But who loves I
I always ask
As for Me Myself and I
I really don't know what to think
If I don't love Myself
Who will love Me
I worry about this a lot
I really need to spend some time with Myself
To think about all that has been said to Me
Especially the good
But sometimes it feels like maybe I have been spending
too much time with Me
And not enough time with Myself
What do you think?


It's Just Me

Look at me I am a unique one of a kind
I am complete and equipped with a powerfully strong mind
I can think the unthinkable then write it all down
When I do what I wrote I turn the whole world around
I have talent untapped! There's no thing I can't do
I'm so phenomenal at being me I have no desire to do you
My destiny is way past greatness my colors are purple and gold
I am royalty I got skills and I got game that can't be bought or sold
There's more to me than you can phantom
Or with your limited vision see
No box can contain my uniqueness
Because unique is not what I do
It's just me Being me


To You Baby

Life was almost impossible and then you came in
There was nothing for me to live for and I wanted it all to end
I never even wanted you for the cost of living was too high
But I knew if I didn't keep you I would die from wondering why
Now that I have you I know how beautiful it feels
To have someone to really love and know the importance to give
You are so beautiful and so loving in every kind of way
Oh how happy you have made me since your very first day
Honey, mommy loves you and she always will
You are so precious you make me want to live
I hope when you are older you will understand
Daddy isn't with us because he wouldn't be a man
Please continue to love him more as days go by
Now I know this must sound complicating
But you will soon understand why
We are going to make it baby with or without you know who
and you will see in time enough that mommy will pull us through
Maybe someday, God will give you a new dad
He will see to it personally that he is better than the one you had
He will make sure you aren't unhappy in any kind of way
And he will make sure your new dad loves you in a special way

So lie here in your cradle and dream the sweetest dreams
Of how mommy is going to make her baby a darling little queen

Again I am going to tell you I love you with all my heart

I hope I live to see the new life you will someday start

I'm glad you are my angel you precious little dear

If ever you should need me I will always be right here
Well my dear that's enough of all of that
We are going to make it to the top
But we still have a long ways yet


My spirit

God breathed into me the breath of life
I became a living soul ... I Am the breath of God
What is my life?
It is but a vapor here today gone tomorrow
You can get a glimpse of my life on a cold winter's day
When I breathe into the air the Life vapor rises
And disappears with your eyes I am no longer seen
Yet I am present in your presence
In your spirit you shall greet me
My spirit is who I am
I Am is not the face or body that you see
I am spirit come o' beautiful spirit
Come, come away with me


I Am Spirit

You can't see me but I am always here
Nice and lovely inside of you
I cause you to be able to move
Wave your hand. Walk across the room
Smile. Say something, do anything that is me
I am your Spirit
Without me you could not move
Every "body" has a spirit
When you meditate or look inside yourself
You will find me and every answer to
Every question you will ever have in life
If you trust your spirit and believe in me
You will always do what is best for you
Your spirit never lies to you
You are awesome!


The Most Wonderful Person

I Am the Most Wonderful Person That I Have Ever Met

I am the most wonderful person that I have ever met

People talk about me but they don't know
That I know what they say it just isn't so because

I am the most wonderful person that I have ever met

I will not fight or argue for this I know is wrong,
I am intelligent, black, proud and mentally strong

I am the most wonderful person that I have ever met

I am going to be a great leader just you wait and see
People from every part of the world are going to want to follow me
because

I am the most wonderful person that I have ever met

I am the most wonderful person that I have ever met

And I love me!


Be Careful

Be careful how you treat me
You don't know how we might be
Related, connected or tied together
I might not be just passing by
I could be permanent
It could be that I am important
To your journey through life
I could be the necessary part of you
I may hav
