I watched you grasp for air
You fought and fought hard
I felt helpless
I wanted to help but didn’t know how
Your hospital monitors were going crazy
I wanted to cry but couldn’t
It was like voices in my head saying shouldn’t
Witnessed your agony and pain
Tears wanted to fall
I held back
Your eyes and body went into a seizure
I knew from within
You would be leaving this Earth
Suddenly your body went lump
I felt your leg and it was cold
Your eyes were closed and then totally breathless
You got your heavenly wings
I cried uncontrollable
Into the skies your soul soared
You roam now in the ever after.

A Greyhound Bus
Scheduled #102 to depart from Jackson, Mississippi
With destination signage for Memphis, Tennessee
The Greyhound Bus Driver was given the signal to depart
Every seat was accounted for and the bus was full
The bus was heading for the highway
Through the downtown Streets of Jackson leading to the journey that would begin
It was night and weather uncertain
Light rain began to fall
Suddenly, a strong wind began to blow
The wind got stronger and stronger
Without warning the bus was caught in a Tornado
Homes and structures were blown away
Even farm animals were also taken into flight
Cars and trucks thrown everywhere
The Greyhound Bus itself was lifted up swirling through the Tornado
What was amazing that the bus stayed intact during their ordeal
The spin and turn
Passengers were in panic
Their thought was this was their death
Without warning, the bus was descended downward, and gently placed on the ground back to the highway where journey started
Everyone was alive and survived
Only minor bruises
It was as if God said, “I spared you all”
Go and tell your testimony about the high and mighty
The Greyhound bus was able to continue their journey
It wasn’t their time to go home to Heaven
That day will always be remembered
Miraculous to tell their tail
The bus arrived into Memphis late
It didn’t matter, the Driver and passenger were alive to see another day
Faith was designated throughout the passengers
Miraculous

One after the other
From Hospital rooms and where ever else
Heaven’s call
Come up
Far beyond the skies
Everlasting Rejoice
Human skies can’t see
Far from Earth
The creation
The sensation
Souls took up their crosses and journeyed to the Pearly Gates
The enter
The welcome
Angels orchestrated
No more pain nor sorrow
Better continuous tomorrows
Souls soared into their new frontier
Horizon blessing
Sorrow no more
Don’t mourn
Until the next time meet
I am in Heaven in God’s retreat
Until

Sitting on a Greyhound awaiting to depart
Memphis being the start
My Greyhound bus ticket has no specific destination with only “Anywhere Bound”
The feeling is where to find the possibilities in where to settle
Journey into a new life
No fiddle faddle
Reclining in my seat, and just imagine my life through the off ramp in discovering my destiny
Miles upon miles will give me plenty time thinking while
Observing the various trucks, cars and other bus coaches as I view through the bus picture windows
Destinations in so many directions, North, South, East and West
Remembering an old slogan, “GO WEST YOUNG MAN”
There’s much to chose, but don’t dwell on confused
As the Greyhound bus wheels roll while kicking up dust and acceleration
My journey is the turning point in what is to come
Goals centered in my head in how to follow through
Destiny in control
Perhaps a town or major city being my objective
I am very subjective
Sense of commitment
Courage to move on
Through the days and nights
What settlement is in sight
Greyhound bus, show me the way
My journey in the horizon
People and places
Any place for me to be
Just relax and wait and see
Mysteries of my journey to anticipate
A place I can call home and appreciate
Greyhound bus stops here and there
A journey I experience that I can only share
Memphis was my start
I might be San Antonio where I might disembark
Texas wind and a Horse ride
Adventure that is what the state will provide
Fulfillment I see in my face
Achievement to follow
San Antonio is the place
Just for me
A place to see
Dwell and acquaint
San Antonio is my take away
New life and friendship
I have arrived
Destiny control
That Greyhound bus helped me to be bold
Behold

Through the academic years
The feeling of uncertain and fear
Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver
The studies were hard and long
I wondered is higher learning where I belong
There were numerous exams
Research papers imaginable
I got through it all
The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts
It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete
I listened because they will put value in what I will become in my endeavors in life
The Cap and Gown is ready
My move forward in stepping across the stage being presented my degree
My sacrifice for the hard work that paid off
Today is that day to embrace being honored as a graduate
Holding my head up high being the reason why in accomplishment
Being committed in the establishment
The handshake from the Institution President and the kodak moment
Thanks to your friends and family for the encouragement in helping you to believe in yourself like they believe in you
As you walk through those academic doors after graduation, your education is now complete, but always venture back in reflect on your success, and how the institution help you embark on the journey
Remember these words that shall follow you, “FULFILL AND CONQUER”
Courage in ability
Determination status
Walk confident and proud
This is your time allowed
Throw your graduation cap in the air
Now go out and preserver.

A man went from Prince to King
Inherited his father’s throne and crown
Living in a castle in wide open spaces through the colony
Excellence and Elegance style
Beauty of sparkling sequence of the Red and White robe
Razzle and Dazzle
Sense of power
Fortune of Wealth
Leverage of honor
Total privilege
Throughout the castle Soldiers and the help standing at attention
Bowing and curtsy
Sword within the honor of avion
The aroma of goodness
Royal Robe of quality and Dignity.

The thought of Biblical Revelation
Voice of Prophecy
One twinkle
Time ever accelerating in revolving
Be ready ever so ready
Observe the signs
Watch as the clouds surround in formation
Pay close attention
The anticipation
Strong indication
The world’s fate
Kneel and pray before it is too late
Fulfillment on target
Brightness turns to darkness
The Thunder roars
Lightning flashes
The Almighty speaks
Tomorrow’s settlement
Buckle up for the journey
Moment of soon
The sun declines with no shine
Keep that in mine
Doom on the horizon
The stop watch carefully capturing the hours and seconds
Clocks will stop
Tick tack no more
Moment of truth
Steady at ready
Ready or Not
Sooner than you think.
