A person free of hypocrisy or pretense
Sincere,honest
Describes my Grandmother Liz
I value her sweetness and wisdom
She's the grandmother every body needs
I salute you and applaud you for your service
As a great Grandmother to me
You are grand in ever sense of the word
Age and doctors have slowed you down
But remember this we still need you around
Our God is strong enough to pick you up
And place you on your feet again
And give you back what was stolen
When sickness came in
I pray your strength returns
And you voice be heard again

HE ANSWERED MY TEARS

The wind blows
The Most High's Presence
Over the land
You can feel Him in the wind
The trees wave and praise
The wind whistles
Calling Him back
To pass over again

Just across the creek
I could see a glimpse of hope
As I stared at my reflection in the water
The air was fresher
The grass was greener
the flowers colors were so vivid
They appeared to dance
Just across the creek
In the air sparkled healing
You just needed to reach up
And wholeness and other good things were in the trees
Just across the creek
I pondered on the thought of going over
Although it was wider than I could jump
My feet would have to get wet
If I wanted to experience abundant health
I stepped in the water
It refreshed
When my feet touched the bank
I began to rejoice
Leaping and prancing my way through a wonderland
Of just what I needed
As I reached up and out
that which held me captive set me free
Now I'm no longer bound
No more chains holding me back
Because I ignored my carnal mind
And gave way to the supernatural
Just across the creek

I hear the whispers of the dead
Crying because their end had come too soon
People who had no regard  took from them life
I hear the voices of the dead talking
About those who had dealt with them
In a way that did not please their maker
Killing them
Hanging them
****** them
Taking away their children
Forcing them to build up their wealth
And destroying their self worth
I hear groans of agony
Pains of what was
And what is to come
The dead knows
They hurt even still
Wishing they could help
Do something that would change things
Say something that would heal up the wounds
The dead know its all in vain
What must be
Must be
Their soul cries
For the living
Who are dead
But not yet buried
Their soul cries

Be careful who you hook up with
There is no such thing as a one night stand
That person lingers around
Their in your thoughts
You can never forget them
Good or bad
Their there    
Whether you want them to be
Or not
May have even picked up some feelings
That aren't your own
Perhaps some habits
That are unfamiliar
This is a warning
Be very very careful
You can get up and leave
But what you laid down with
Sits down
And makes itself at home

I wasn't quite sure
How to approach the matter
Even though we shared the same philosophy
Or so I thought
I went all in
Speaking my mind
Saying exactly what I thought
Putting it all on the line
The look on her face
Let me know
I needed to shut up
Close my mouth
And walk away
For I had crossed a line
That I couldn't see clearly before
