Some say that Faith is Blind, I don't believe its true,
For one deliberately portrays, their convictions in all they do
It clearly is intentional, the way you put your trust
And like a piece of metal, if not used, it may rust;

Some say that Hope is blind, i find that to be false,
For one will swim the deepest seas whenever hope makes her call,
Acts of hope are intentional directed to a cause,
Specifically expecting a change, through that hope they give their all;

Some say that Love is blind, yes, many believe this flaw,
But I've found this lie to be, the biggest lie of all  
For Love cannot be forced, True Love freely flows,
And Is impossible to be quenched as long as it has grown

So then, I asked myself "Why do we attribute Blindness to these Virtues"?
Which often times leaves so many of us running in circles?,

Then I Found the answer to the question, IT IS WE WHO ARE BLIND nothing else is.

Back when life was easy, Back when i was a child,
Those days were days of fun and innocence, i couldn't tell a fake smile;
Back when Guilt was foreign and my heart knew no pain,
I lived a life of simplicity, not concerned about riches or fame;

I played with my older brothers and sisters, we would dance and sing,
I was the youngest for a time, so i was borne on eagles wings,
Those days were days of happiness, frustrations were few,
I still remember waking up early to play in the morning dew;

But now I am a Man, no longer the innocent child i was,
And  I have learnt the hard way how people misuse the word called “Love”,
How self pleasing and cruel people can be, without remorse or shame,
Using and abusing the rights of other only for selfish gain;

I sit still in my dorm room at college and something flashed back in my head,
It was the prayer my Mother taught me when i was a baby before I went to bed;
“This night I lay down to sleep, I give the Lord my Soul to Keep,
In My Little Bed I Lie, Heavenly Father, Hear My Cry,
Lord, Protect Me Through This Night, and Keep Me safe Until Morning Light,Amen!”

After I finish reading My Bible And Praying.... As I Lay down.. I Still Pray This Little Prayer That My Mother Taught Me...
Well, I Guess Old Memories Never Die.

The ground crumbles beneath my feet, the shaking of my hands,
My tent was secure, without alarm, but now an avalanche;

My day has turned to an eclipsed sun, my radiance diffused,
my glory has grown wings and flown away, my mind becomes confused;

If this is how you feel, you are not alone, a friend to sorrow, a stranger to friends,
Travelling through a dark valley full of dead mans bones, a journey without an end,

But I found hope, yes even I, who was counted as refuse for the earth,
My glory returned, my wounds healed, I received a second birth;

Within the tranquility of every mans existence, An avalanche will come,
Sudden terror, pain and betrayal, and how will you overcome?

My dear friend, heed my words, you cannot walk alone,
But do as i do, and cry out to God and your avalanche will be gone.

Before you Judge look, analyse what you see,
And ask yourself the question, what would I do if it was me?

Before you negatively criticize, stop and check yourself,
Flee the path that leads to casting stones at someone else;

Flee I say, Yes Flee, away from harsh comments that pain,
For in the destruction of anther there is naught to gain;

And remember to be loving in all you say and do
For the stones you cast on others may one day return to you:

Be straight, thoughtful and Sympathetic to the mistakes you will see,
The things we see sometimes are not what they appear to be;
And be thoughtful of the harsh words that you presume to say,
For the sting of spoken words are so hard to take away;

So then, as you walk each day, fill your heart with Godly love
And avoid the opportunities to negatively judge.

life has been given to many
sometimes we wonder why ,
But for me, I'll make a difference
Before my time to Die;

Life sometimes  doesn't seem right
Filled with pain and fear,
But i have looked beyond the pain
To see what More was there;

And i have found, yes i have,
That Life is very short,
And that we have just a few days here
Before we must depart;

So I live not for my own desires
I live not for myself,
My aim is to live for the welfare of others
to be a light to someone else;

A broken heart, A child in need
A hand to lend, and help to give
To be the change God wants in this word,
  This is the reason why I Live.

When leaves fall, in the season before winter
and the wind is cool and low,
they fall gently and softly  to the ground
Where they stay until they are no more;

When  leaves fall on gentle brooks
they gently swim and sail
they float along like gently swans
until the're consumed by the power of decay;

Under a tree i sat, as the quiet autumn winds blew
reflecting on my past, what had happened to me and you,
The tide of the waves were high, the evening bright but low
My heart as small as a mustard seed, engraved in flakes of snow;

The horrors a man must bear,  as he seeks to love again,
Contemplating if what he had was really love
And if it was, Why didn't she stay?

The hope of finding happiness, so dim and dark and low,
A hope once as read as a crinsom rose
is now as white as show;

So i sit back and breath in,
as the evening dies and night Falls,
Such is the fate of men like me
Each year when the leaves fall.

I thought this was Love but i was wrong,
It was only a mere experience to teach me wisdom
A lesson i will hold on to for long;

Ooh the silly mistakes we make when we think were in love
But people are not transparent as they appear to be,
I was once there, it happened to me;

It was like eternity, i lost track of time in fact time didn't matter,
all that mattered was you and your happiness
A quest i perused until my heart shattered;

I do not blame you, no, i do not, i attribute this fall to my folly,
for i was unwise and reckless in my pursuit
to take hold of what i thought was meant for me;

So now i must turn my back on what i thought
would be the love story of the millennium,
for now i see  that what we had was only Camouflage Love.

If i should die today, let it be in peace,
knowing that i have done all that i can to be a blessing;
Reaching to hearts far and wide, both blacks and whites, from both sides proclaiming hope to souls that need caressing;

May my death not be one experienced in the agony of regret,
May i sigh in relief as i take my last breath;
Knowing that hearts have been fed, souls mended, and lives changed
because i walked selflessly as i took each step;

Tis this my  plea my God to thee, let me not live for me my self and I,
But the earth should groan as it looses one of its own, if today be the day that I die.

It crept into Man's heart and corrupted His soul
And now he runs to death like a racing horse,

It makes him unsatisfied with what he has
He kills and takes without feeling Remorse;

Ah, Oh soul of man, Oh hast thou been dealt a heavy hand
The plagues that fall wherever you turn;
The cries of the innocent, the blood of the slain
Will haunt thee whilst thou one day shall burn;

What could have caused something so gentle, so mild, to become
so deceived, so vile, so crude,
Something infected the pure gentle flower, sending it down the path of doom;

It seizes, it conquers and leaves no survivors, only Grace can save from this stain within,  
Beware oh man of the enemy you face, i implore thee dear soul, beware of  your Sin.
- Lemuel Davy

I thought i was Invisible, but someone saw me;
Years of identity crisis, trying to conform, doing everything to be seen:

It seems as if the more a person tries to fit in, the more lost they become,
and the strange thing is, i thought i was the only one;

But i am not, i am not, i was just one of many lost on a futile quest to find themselves,
then I was sought for by my maker, I was not mistaken for someone else;

God really reached down and pulled dirt out of the dirt, Tought me how to Love and revived my soul,
My soul no longer shattered as broken glass, i'm no longer a stranger to eternal  Hope;

So yes, i was seen, though i though i was invisible, the Invisible God, the one whom many revile and refuse to believe exist, Manifested His Glory;

More to me than just an Hypotheses, A Presence  that Science cannot explain, He changed by direction and rewrote my Life's story;

I have seen the Unseen, experienced the unthinkable, A living Proof that He is the Protos, the Eschatos,

Now i walk in newnwss of Life,

For i am snatched from the very jaws of Nekros and Thanatos.

-Lemuel Davy

No one to hold, no one to have, alone i trod this forsaken land
No where to go, nowhere to stop, I'm tired of crying with all I've got:

But what have i done to anyone? born forsaken,Raised as refuse
rob or be robbed is the order of the day,
Looked upon as garbage, eating the same, vicious as wild dogs who terrorize the brave ;

Life has dealt me a narrow dark hand,  a lifestyle so steep; my soul feels lost;
I would have died of that i am sure had it not been for the man on the cross;

From out of the gutter i rise, no more to cry for comfort
for now i am new and love i now see;

The hated now loved, the Lost now found, the One on the cross has set me free.

-Lemuel Davy

Another year has passed, another year will come
Your love remains the same as at the day I just began;
A wave of trials past, another chapter ends
And soon another journey in my life will begin:

Lord, I thank thee for Love Unfeigned, Pure and true it be
Overlooking all my faults and ministering to my needs,
I have made many mistakes which have left me sad and blue
But even when I failed I could always count on you:

So now I turn another chapter from the end of another year
And I depend on you to heal each hurt and dry each tear,
There is no other God for me, no other help I know
I am held captive by the Love that will not let me go.
