This is to Regina over at "Regina's Family Season,"
and for anyone else who now has had so many burdens and trials to overcome. I
have overcome so many things in my life and GOD will always be my passage.
So big (((HUG))) to anyone out there who needs it today.
I am still gonna rise
You may write me down in history
with your bitter, twisted lies,
you may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
with your bitter, twisted lies,
you may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my confidence in life upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But Get thee behind me obstacles
because , like air, I’ll still rise.

BRAVISSIMO, BRAVISSIMO, BRAVISSIMO!!
You my dear, are such an inspiration to me and countless others! Thank you for the dedication to me and for the inspirational words in your comment on my blog, but most of all thank you for allowing God to use you! What a blessing you are! Like I always tell my kids, "without a trial there can be no testimony"! What we go through and come out of can be used to help someone else get through something!
Love you Lady!
Aawwwww. Why do I have that poem still memorized.
My hands go out, and my prayer goes up for Regina.
Great post!
Hey,
I was thinking about you the other day and realized that we had become disconnected. I hope all is well with you.
