Blue Ivy Carter

The world welcomed the prodigy child of Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) and Beyonce`Knowles Carter on January 7, 2012. Blue Ivy has beome a legend in her own right just by the mere existence of her parents. Blue is already famous and she is only a month and few days old. Most are already speculating what her life will entale within the legacy that her parents have made for their family. JayZ and Beyonce are now noted as one of the Power Couples in the entertainment industry. Their creative juices and brilliant business planning have allowed them to rise to the top.

Blue's name is already wanted by most! On January 26th blue's parents had to file an application to trademark her name.The Carter’s trademark comes quick as a number of other individuals have already tried to trademark their daughter’s name. On Jan. 11, just four days after Blue’s birth, Joseph Mbeh sent in an application to trademark “Blue Ivy Carter NYC” and on Jan. 20, another applicant tried to trademark the name “Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV.” However, the trademark office struck down both applications, citing the fact that name belonged to a “very famous infant” and that customers would falsely assume that any products bearing the name were approved by Blue’s parents. Though, Mbeh did later claim that he intended to include Jay and Bey in his business plans.

As destiny would have i,t this little girl named Blue is already in the running for competive bids within the fashion industry. Her parents plan to have a line of baby cosmetics, baby carriages, diaper bags etc. dedicated to little Blue Ivy's name. There is no doubt about it, this child has made history in 2012. Oprah Winfrey has been named her Godmother and that within itself is a historic moment. I pray that little Blue is protected and respected as she deserves to be. For the family who has everything and money is no object I pray they are able to shower their daughter with love and a memorable upbringing that is not overtaken by media and naysayers.

Photos of Baby Blue have now been released by Jay Z and Bey after they were offered millions of dollars to sell their daughter's photos to the highest bidder. Instead they remained diginified and released the pictures on their own terms. I believe this family has now become one of America's own Royal Families. Peace and Blessings to the Carter's and Baby Blue Ivy!!

A Love Poem

The moment I laid eyes on you I knew
There was something about you
Didn't really know what was in store for me

Embraced your masculine physique
Brownskin, luscious lips, almond eyes
Your tone of voice soothed my mind

Never thought that embracing you would bring an epiphany
One that would tell a tale of you and me
You weren't my average pick

Yet I was drawn to you beyond me..
The way you moved, your swagger, your verbal skills
Little did I know the conversation would be tantalizing

You had me hanging on to every word
Every verse sent waves to my cerebrum
I captured the visual of your stanzas

My heart warmed & my soul ignited
There has never been another to do this to me
Fo real, your essence has kept me

The LOVE you give is unconditional
Yet it seems unbelievable & intangible
Never thought that this would be afforded to me

Yet I stand in awe THANKFUL
Unto YHWH for what had been given to me
You, My Husband, homie, lover, friend

In the end we all WIN
I'm Blessed with You
And You blessed with me

TRUE LOVE FINALLY

Dedicated to my beauski!! I love you!!!
