Our Bond
She was special to me even before I knew whether she would be a little brother or little sister. My Mother told me about her on my tenth birthday. You'd think that I would have been filled with joy. The to of a little brother or little sister to drove me batshit crazy!!!!…

I Know Who I Want To Take Me Home
I've seen so many cuties and I like most of them. Spending so much of life chasing bootie. Never satisfied with just being happy. Always looking for that just right cutie.There's got to be more to it. Another cutie with a bootie.. not gonna do it. Look there's one there. Still chasing that bootie. From one to another. I can't stop. Trying to find Ms. Right, not happening tonight. I'm getting older, things are moving slower. Still chasing bootie? Gotta watch out. Now far too much to lose. Spending all my life chasing bootie. Finally got that home and I've spent so long alone. Maybe I won't find her but Lord I'm glad I've got you in my life. I know who I want to take me home.Titled I Know Who I Want To Take Me HomeBy Edwin Brown8/8/14…

Communicate
Trying to figure out what's been said is not always easy. Words have multiple meanings, sometimes pronounced differently depending on the speaker. It's amazing we are to connect to each other at all. Let's add the barriers of culture and accents, ebonics and ignorance, deafness and resistance.So many obstacles for us to overcome. If we try hard enough, there's nothing we can't do. So why can't we understand each other. Sometimes, with no words spoken, so much can be communicated. Sometimes, with just a simple nod of the head, a look or a smile, so much can be said. We keep ourselves distant when we don't try to understand the other guy.Titled CommunicateBy Edwin Brown8/7/14…
Who Is Rushing You
Why am I in such a hurry? Well, I've learned that time will not stand still. Once the minute is gone, it's gone. Yes, I might get another, but I've let so many go wasted. I remind myself daily that my time has a limit. That when I find out time has been called, there may be no more time because my life will have ended. I don't want it said, "He wasted his whole life, what a pity he's dead". I'm living each day as if it were my last. Trying hard to complete my most difficult tasks. If I find myself stuck, I turn around or back up, because I'm wasting my my life staying in that rut. Titled Who Is Rushing You By Edwin Brown 8/7/14…
I Found Jesus
When I found Jesus... it was me who was lost. He knew where I was, It was me who was lost He showed me the way home and still I got lost trying to do it on my own. He picked me up and carried me oh so many times, when I decided I was to live life on my own. Now I'm looking for Jesus... Well, you see, He is not lost. If I had only stayed with Him, I would not now need to be found. Titled I Found Jesus By Edwin Brown 8/7/14…
When A Lie Becomes Truth
The day a Lie changes and becomes Truth, that day will die because it is a Lie too. The tellers of Lie will try to convince you that what they say is true. They'll put it on anything. The Bible they won't spare. Ask them again and you'll be a Lie too. You try to believe, knowing in your heart you can't trust. Thinking maybe this time, the truth will come thru. If you swallow the Lie, they'll feed you more shit. Thinking either you just don't care, or they've finally found a believer. When you point to the truth, they tell everyone you're trouble. So remember to listen, especially when it's said, "I'll tell you the truth". Don't spend your life waiting on a Lie to become truth. Titled When A Lie Becomes Truth By Edwin Brown 8/7/14…
