"Aubrey Jade"


"Aubrey Jade"

Hey baby girl, it's Uncle B
And you were on my mind,
So I wrote you a little something (just for you)
Because you are truly one of a kind.
I only got to meet you once
Before I went away
But your mommy keeps me updated
And you're top of the list when I pray.
You came into this world fighting
And you'll win I have no doubt
Because you come from a long line of strong women
Who show up, show off, and show out!
I cannot wait to buy you stuff
Cute clothes, jewelry and toys
And at some point, when you're old enough
I'll help your daddy chase away the boys.
You're the baby in a family
That had so much love to give.
We laugh and joke, and sing real loud
And eat well, because that's just how we live!
You have a beautiful big sister, 
And a cool big brother, too.
And a basketball team full of cousins
Who are all madly in love with you!
And you even have me, your Uncle B
To remind you that you're wonderfully made.
Because God knew we all needed something special, 
So He sent us you, Miss Aubrey Jade.

My degree proudly hangs in my aunt's house and I have a copy in my room to remind me of what I've done. It was one of my proudest moments even though I didn't get to attend my own graduation (another story). I'm proud of how I'm dealing with my mental issues. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and it's been a struggle to cope with the ways my emotions and my mood changes. For the past year or two I've done well though. It's not an easy fight but I'm committed to beating this thing and not allowing it to ruin my life or my relationships. I'm proud of myself for starting a fledgling business. It's only a resume writing business but it's somethi...

I Miss

I miss falling asleep with his locs in my face And my hand rubbing across his belly I miss white seedless grapes, and Welch's Fruit Snacks And my favorite, peanut butter and jelly I miss all my music, Jill Scott and Badu Tupac, Outkast and Queen Bey I miss having windows, seeing the trees For real I must miss being free I miss Uncle Wendell, may he rest in peace I miss my girlfriends and my crew I miss Aunt Bert's breakfast, bacon, eggs and toast I miss looking up and seeing the sky is blue I miss all my clothes, my closet and my room I miss all my books and my art I miss seeing frames with pics of my family Even though they are etched in my heart I miss being able to walk to the store Or to the field to watch the boys and girls play I miss all the familiar slang and speech Like "jamk", "lightning bugs" and "Out the way" I miss everything and almost everyone My dreams remind me of it every night But soon enoug...
