Voices of extraordinary
Contributions past
Their actions in determination and preparation
Wisdom and knowledge
Their honor in privilege
Leverage Mind
Standing up and challenging
Overcoming principles that bind
Turning foe into woe
Swimming to the surface of creations without drowning
Knowing what they know in how to use it
Overlooking although
Believing, Can and Shall
Legacy has spoken
Their words are far more than a token
Each letter in encouraging vibes spoken
Soulful status
They are all distinguished
Legacy stands
Their sunrise to think and our sunset in continuation
They left their mark in sensation
Follow their footsteps in direction
Through patience and time
Society won’t be kind
Legacy says we are all genuine.

Brooklyn, NY Brownstone
Artificial Christmas Tree
Glitter in ornaments and décor
Christmas Cards were hung all through the house
The thought of living to Christmas among
All that happened when I was young
My Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Silver would be circling the Christmas Tree
That was the Christmas for me
It was everything it was supposed to be
The Brownstone Christmas had detail with family and friends
There was no pretend
During those years, I didn’t want Christmas to end
Christmas being the center of the heart core
Sheer galore
Brooklyn, NY Christmas will always be remembered
Joy full of everlasting in my heart
Bethlehem Star has carried me far
Merry to experience and Joy to embrace.

Feeling impacted
Nowhere to turn
Walls that extract
Cries upon cries
Tears of No
Understanding the situation
Wonders through wisdom
Mind on Theory
Determination in overcoming
Binding feel
Circumstance being real
Walls like a Mountain
Challenger and Conquer fears
Walls that center
Forced to enter
Victory in maneuver
The Breakthrough

Friendly breezes
Stars shine bright
Twinkle in dazzle
A certain sizzle
Winter wind
Hot Chocolate mix
Fireplace warmth
Love Endure
Christmas Tree lit
Gifts wrapped
Time to nestle down
Sleep until Christmas morning
Arise then
Christmas delight
Observe the Christmas skies sight
Oh what a Christmas Night

A star is born
A Young Man auditioned for a Theatrical show
He thought it might not be an accepted go
He remembered the advice his Grandfather would say
“Go out and do your best, and let your confidence shine through.
Before you know it, your expectations will pay off”
The Theatrical show was a Drama, the Director was looking for a Star Role in being the lead of “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”
It was a play about knowing who a person is and finding their place in life
Seems fitting as the Young Man’s life falls into the category
On with the story
The Young Man was nervous yet confident
He had no idea in how the Director will respond to his audition
The Young Man had no theatrical experience
Only encouragement being his Grandfather’s influence
He read the script with Drama, Emotion and the Director felt his feeling
Later, the Director asked the Young Man did he act before, and he replied No that he was a natural
The Director then stated, Congratulations
You got the Lead Role
Thanks to the encouragement over the years from his Grandfather
Words from the wise

Alone and Separated
Far from a Child’s touch
Divided in much
A bus with square wheels and not round
A Passenger train with no steam engine pull
A flying Eel
A rewrite Reel
All the above are Misfit toys
Needing the joy from every Girl and Boy
They are stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere
It’s up to Santa to bring the care
The Misfit Toys have nowhere to go
A change needs to be a flow
Misfit Toys cry out to the world they deserve a home
A place where a Child and Misfits can roam
Misfit toys must be seen from a different angle
It’s up to the child
Being enjoyment while
Misfit Toys for Christmas and any season
Imagine, a Misfit Toy hand held by a loving child
That is the true meaning of giving.

A little babe on the edge of Death
Doctor’s version of not much time left
In fact, Doctors stated boldly to prepare for a Funeral
No Funnel through uncertainty like a dark tunnel
A Grandmother with strong Faith prayed and asked the Lord about her Grandson in what the Doctor’s mentioned
The Lord responded that her Grandson will live, and be an inspiration to all for years to come
Your Grandson will bring joy and comfort in your later years
He will be one who will always persevere
That little Babe was me the Poet who wrote
I am standing and will continue
Faith and Assurance made it all possible
The Lord I stand
Life I commit
My testimony expressed throughout the land.
