When you feel life is showing you its bottom tier
and friends and family are being terse and abrupt,
My friend, keep on pushing, keep on fighting and please, never give up.
When the days seem longer than normal and the nights seem shorter,
My friend, please don't look at it as a curse, look at it as Divine Order.
When the words you want to say won't reveal themselves but your
feelings overwhelm you and overflow your cup,
My friend, I say to you, don't falter, don't look back, and by all
means NEVER GIVE UP..
When it seems that every door you approach is like trying to decipher
the combination to a bank vault,
My friend, I am telling you to keep on trying, keep on pushing,
don't cry, don't place blame or
fault.
When circumstances and situations don't seem to be in your favor
and everything you produce seems odd,
My friend, all I can say to you is to NEVER GIVE UP because all
the while you are being carried by God.

Dang, Candy Man He Ain't All That I Lived Beneath The Candy Lady For Years!As a child growing up in Chicago's notorious Cabrini Green I was told that if you go into the bathroom and look into the Mirror and say Bloody Mary 3 times in the Dark with the door shut a scary lady would appear But I could never get passed saying it twice and running out because of primal fear! Now I am supposing that is where the legend of Candy Man somehow emanated from Then they just put a modern day twist to it and placed it in the theaters to frighten some. But damn, Candy Man He Ain’t All That I lived Beneath The Candy Lady For years and she was a trip! As kids we couldn’t step to her with short money and couldn’t loiter in front of her door and give her no lip. The Candy Lady in our building lived on the Fifth Floor and she had bills to pay and mouths to feed. She was a shrewd businesswoman and she also cooked church dinners and was The Finance Committee lead! She sold Fat Albert Candy that came in a box, she sold penny cookies and pickles, she also s... |
