Special Tribute: Stanley Blackshire




    MY LOVE’S GOSPEL

    Don’t want to be the one
    Who’s lost hope for a happy ending
    And accept a situation and never sing
    I’d rather humble myself to god
    And appreciate the wonders his promise of love can bring.
    I keep my water still and pray that it runs deep
    So on my never-ending journey I won’t go thirsty.
    As I eat the bread of life it keeps me full and satisfied
    Yet wakes me up to more and more
    At times I don’t know if I’m qualified,
    But he said he’ll give me nothing that I can’t bear,
    And I’d smell joy and taste victory in the morning air,
    He brought me through the darkness
    So I’d appreciate the light,
    And When Darkness comes again
    I got my knight light burning bright,
    So live my life with hope and stay faithful to the ONE,
    ‘cause his love is the gospel, and his water is the SON.

    BEAUTIFUL ANGEL
    (In Memory of Evelyn Faye Carradine)

    No matter how much rain may fall
    No matter how dark life may feel
    You always made things brighter
    Your words were so faith filled
    Even though it may not be what you wanted to hear
    It was always true in the end.

    You believed that God would fix any problem
    And it seemed he always did. As I’ve grown older
    I adopted that faith you held inside your heart.
    It’s been proven to me throughout the years
    And you are a testament to that part.

    They say he may not come when you want him
    But he’s always right on time.
    And with what I’ve seen in our family alone, those
    Words never lied.  That faith you’ve shown me through
    The years helped me keep sanity of my mind
    One of the greatest gifts you gave to me is to
    Have faith in the darkest times.

    And with all this love inside my heart
     That’s what I am gonna hold on to
    That beautiful blessing you gave me
    That faith that God will come through,
    After all you went through the past few years
    Your strength is an inspiration.

    That’s why we gone stay strong and keep on movin’ on
    And make you proud of how we maintain
    All the love, laughter, and happiness we share
     Always together and there to pick each other up in times of despair.
    We must show each other the type of love you always showed to us
    You are a beautiful angel now but I know you’re still right here with us.
    I love you Aunt Faye and I love all y’all.

SHE IS WOMAN

What turns me on about a woman is a natural sexiness,
Very few women have it; a blessing not shared by the rest.

Luscious lips that drip intelligence, eyes so deep you fall inside
And get wrapped up in her world by dialogue without disguise.

Morality to be respected on any level in life and a confidence so strong
but without conceit which makes my heart take flight.

The essence of her heart is reality and truth and passion for total
happiness while aiming not to play the fool, isolated from the masses by
the glow of her persona.

A voluptuous body that holds the gifts of womanliness and honor,
Takes inventory of herself physically and mentally too with a genuine
natural sexiness she is woman strong and true!
