I remember living in a Log Cabin nestled among the Forest and Mountains
It wasn’t the North nor West
It wasn’t even the East
It was the deep south
Grandma would be singing spiritual songs and praying throughout the cabin day and night
Confusion and not understandable for a young boy being raised in the middle of nowhere
Grandma would always say, “God is able, and always follow his spirit that sheds light being your guide where he wants you to be”
Questions after questions
Grandma would often offer suggestions being encouragement
She always told of her Folk tail about her past life
As I listened, I felt it was like advice
Son, I was a slave from way back
I was beaten until I almost had no flesh
I didn’t let that stop me from thinking Freedom, but I knew it would be the Lord’s wisdom showing me understanding
Grandma prayed Morning, Noon and Night
All that while she was going through her plight
One day, Grandma woke up at 2:00 am determined to be free
She gathered the other slaves and she told them come and follow me
God will show us the way
By the time the sun had risen high, the plantation owners would be searching for what they thought was theirs
In the aftermath, the slaves were never found because they became free
Their new life was fulfilled being God’s will
Wisdom spoke
Son, “Never wonder, but always seek”
Be strong, but never weak
Always be hungry to defeat
Turn wrong into doing right
Have courage and never fright
Grandma has seen and conquered
My years have caught up
My eyes see glory
Soon I will depart for my Heavenly home
It’s where my Soul will roam
Earth is not my restful place
It’s my everlasting being the trace
Heaven United
That is where you will find me
I will be waiting every day at the Pearly Gates
Don’t be late
Heaven’s sake
Wisdom only knows
But now you know
My tomorrow is now
Grandma eyes closed
Grandma lover
The Dove is now flying above.

My Roots
Countryside
A place where I reside
Prudence Trail
Wide with High Mountains
Railroad tracks run the entire mile stretch
I often lurk among the wooden trees as the Memphis Marvel passes by
There are times I even cry
I think on the many journeys with being a passenger aboard
Farm life is a bore
I want to travel to destinations with possibilities
Hope I waited for far too long
I am stuck on a farm doing chores after chores
No town folks to talk too
Always farm work to pursue
The hot sun from morning to dawn
The moments of a quick yond
Endless work within the fields
Desperations being no contest
Memphis Marvel is more than a train name
It’s travel to a new world
Places I don’t see
Yet places I wish I could be
There will be a time when I will leave among my roots
It will sound like melody in musical *****
Enough talking
Back to work
No perk
My hour is not yet done
One day I will be on the Memphis Marvel
Journey to anywhere
Beyond compare
Beyond my roots
I can dream
Tomorrow being like a moving picture
My adventure being obvious
No look back
Staying on track
Memphis Marvel, please take me away.

More than ***
Starts with a kiss
Holding hands
Romance builds
Love becomes a thrill
Moon sparkles
The heart will beat approved
The sensation becomes soothe
Night among the stars
The thought of a carriage ride
Glazing at the night sky
Love on relish being wise
Eye to Eye
Heart to Heart
Moment into moment
Affection
Appreciation
Endless love
Endless kiss
Breathless
Love being internal and external
The kiss always being a reminder
Being loved and staying in love
The heart always welcomes enter
Front and center
Love until
Enduring forever
Heartfelt

It felt like a race during time
Every hour the clock would sound
But human mechanics wasn’t getting anywhere bound
The long hand looked like it was moving fast
The short hand actually remaining still
Foot maneuvering steps felt like it had no will
Time was definitely moving
Breathless became no sooth
But there was something humans had to prove
It was a matter of time
Electronics moved organized than human power
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
How does one beat time?
Unless one is the Marvel Flesh
One who could dash
Challenge being a struggle
Human speed being its own pace
There is time for a soft drink
Not waiting to think
If time has its way
We can all go astray
The time is mine
Maybe being too kind
The time schedule is just fine
Time and time again
Time out.

The thought of yesterday
Tomorrow unknown
The Soul awoke
The spirit shaken
Hatred of past times
Racial tension still reigns supreme today
The world that didn’t treat me kind
I was acting genuine
Names called not being my name
Lies told
A racial community being bold
This is my story told
My life had promise
My Mother raised me giving me advice
Through it all, I had to face opposition that wasn’t nice
Being Black wasn’t an easy road
Yet rocky and dangerous
My years made that obvious
I was tormented until Death
My life had no meaning
My color was a curse
If I had the chance, I would have battled in a reverse
My Soul survived
My flesh is no more
Civil Rights still a fight
Don’t settle nor take it light
There is a sunrise
I know you are hot and angry
Let justice make you hungry
Tears on a shameless world
God continues to surface all around
Change doubt as you are moving about
Let your voice be strength
Let my Death be a awake up call
I saw and experienced
Again, I know you are furious
My time passed
Harmony only associated with an orchestra
Demand and command your rights
Break the chains being a strategy
This is Emmett Till
Don’t be quite it and still
Keep the inspiration being your will
I have risen beyond the world’s eyes
I am only giving that purpose of realize
I am the example of understanding and wise
This I had to emphasize
Your worthy and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Chosen and undefeated
The battle is not won until complete
Don’t hold back being defeat
Don’t give up nor give in
This is only a begin
My life came to an end
But this is where the world should step in
Emmett Till knows all too well
This is my story and the world I tell.
Emmett Till

Poets who say it right
Words coming out like dynamite
Poets who write Day and Night
They don’t take their words light
Poets share their experiences from plight
Determined with desire
Their own encouragement to inspire
Poets tell what they are thinking
Word connections
Own expectations
Poets alone
Words letting it be known
Poets into their crafts
Talent within
Beginning until the end
Poets are like Librarians full of word organization
The idea being appreciation
Impressing the reader with sensations
What the Poet says must be taken within
This is how writing begins
Poets write to explore
Their words are the open and close door
What you heard the Poet added think
It is always written in ink
The theory
The mystery
All for the reader to see
Poets who you don’t even know
Words are presented being show
True Poets in plain sight
What are you writing tonight?

Bold and Beautiful
Vintage still youthful
Distinct from Front to Back
Specifications to detail giving the facts
It’s move and maneuver
Nothing particular
Simply a bus
A People Moving time machine
Past to present
Representation
One can always remember
Step aboard and enter
Through the many dreams as one slumbers
The thought of the mighty bus
Its enriched history being a must
It’s the bus in all of us
Fascination adding to the plus
Turning on the engine
The power of the exhaust
The transmissions being the force
The manufacturer approved of course of course
The bus like no other
Many will follow being another
Buses to always remember
History will always be on the move
Buses are simply smooth
Vintage is the evidence of prove
The bus has become the forget me not
Don’t be surprised if it passes your block.

Heavenly heavy heart bleeds
He is now seen as hope
The world prefers to their own understanding in cope
Refuses to recognize
He is the power and energize
Mighty and a world that loses sight
Throughout Earth being light
Mirror of our own Lord’s creation
Miraculous, Excellence and Golden
We must be withholden
The Lord prays for the world in tears
He is not welcomed near
A world prefers to live in fear
Lord Host
He is someone to boost
Navigator and Creator
Lord cry
A world who won’t give the Lord a try
He doesn’t want to see the world perish
He is love and distinguished
Rise
The Lord is guidance and advise
Biblical tools and commandments
Turning away and astray
The Lord sheds tears for the world that is not ok
Hold onto the Lord’s threshold and take whole
Believe in him and not in self
Not like everybody else
True, Honest and serves a purpose
Make that your spirit being obvious
Let the Lord weep no more
Don’t ignore
He the rising King in guidance for sure
Clouds maneuver
The rains came
You have been cleansed
Redeem and come clean
The Lord welcomes you being his esteem

I wear it well
The world can tell
A name given to me by the Greyhound Bus Company
I am the arrive with no depart
The Greyhound eyes
Because I am wise
I am Greyhound’s energized
The thought of lead
My words in how I proceed
The eyes of Customer Service
Travelling bus passengers made that obvious
But Houndman Cometh goes even further than that
There’s a following and it’s hard to keep track
My passion for Greyhound goes way back
It started when I was a tot and moved up into today
Greyhound is relished into my heart in every way
I have toy scale Greyhound, and many other bus models on display
It’s the Houndman Cometh relay
Arrive with a never to depart
Now you know where that name got its start
This is where I will depart.

Captain Kirk, Star Trek was in good hands

My today of remember
Lieutenant Uhura out.

I am on the street
No roof
Sleeping on the pavement
Once lived in a Two Bedroom Apartment
My apartment had assortments
One night there was a knock at the door
I thought should I open or ignore?
It was the Landlord
He stated, “WHERE IS YOUR RENT?”
You see, I was working, but was laid off after working for a company for 12 years, the company was doing bad
It was good bye to this lad
I was on unemployment and received my Severance
I was living off the two sources
I was the only forces
Now the sources have been exhausted
I hadn’t paid the rent in months
The Landlord evicted me at once
The Street is where I nest
Living outside is not the best
The Shelters are not for me
They are not safe you see
Pavement life
Living my own advice
The thought of home is only within me
Alone
No Family
Regrets
Homeless into endless
This is where I roam
The street I call home
My name is not known
I am nowhere to be found
Maneuvering people and car movements are my only sounds.

No Logs
No Fireplace
No Cookout
The wood was used to craft into Toy Scale Model Buses
Sounds strange?
Yes, Wood was used in creating Genuine Authentic Moving Models
Visualize highway buses, and think of the wood being part of the setting
I am a witness to it
I have in my collection of actual buses made out of wood being the work done by a Deceased Susquehanna Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
How were these buses carved into a bus
It was careful study being the tracing and using cardboard to capture the right detail once the analysis was done
Then came constructing the wood one Carve into design at a time
I am honored to have in my bus collection of 7 Wood bus models from the creator himself and remembrance of a Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
A Motor Coach Operator with more than just drive, but a vision to create into sculpture
Eyes of Wood
Woody detail of could
Design
Craftsmanship that always came out fine.

Life was nothing
Day was like night
I wasn’t going to be polite
Blinded by darkness
The Winters were bitter
Coldness being my emotions
Cries with no tears
Desperation with every shout
What I thought was mine I could no longer control
Walls were closing in
The finale being my possible end
Alone and broke
No advise
A world that wasn’t nice
People who just don’t care
Trapped in my own dealings
Beaten down to my own selfishness
I was the only witness
Suddenly, I humbled down
I prayed
Never in my life did I pray before
There was a wonder made me explore
Through the many voices I thought I heard
What I was going through was struggles and I wanted them to end
No more hurt and no more suffering
Storms have been all part of my life
No recovery
Yet trapped within my slavery
You haven’t been in my shoes, because we don’t wear the same shoes
Tired of pain
I don’t want to hear excuses
I am reaching the point of no return
My ignorance overpowered believing
Now I am stuck on deceiving
That praying is starting to take effect
My Faith was assured in the Lord
Worry no more
From my head to my toes
The Almighty made it clear
He is always near
Nothing to fear
The record set straight
Understanding maneuvering through any fate
Praying is never too late
That is definitely something to appreciate.

It was a Newspaper caption that caught my attention, “RISE AND THINK”
I felt inspiration in those two words
But within, there was hesitation
I was asleep in my mind not wanting to think
I was meant to excel
My own accomplishment having a tell
The rise being my every step of progress
No time for recess
Think being the strategy in making. My life different than any other day and year I have ever experienced
My moment captured in time
Turning point
Rose through the rotation
Motion
Wonderful
Rose to the radiant sunshine
Overcame what has been holding me back
Encouragement
Just rise
Embrace
Taste
Fulfill
Mission
Rise

Nightmares that come to life
Directions needing advice
Through the subconscious mind no one expects
Be still as the dreams manifest
Unfold
The action straight out being bold
Wonders through the mysteries
The focus on your own history
Untold stories circulating through your mind
Almost near Death
Fear you hold dear
The Outer Limits of your own extremes
Standing along by a stream
Transcending possibilities
Face to Face with your realities
Still on pause
Dreams are the reason being your cause
The body responds
Yet no yond
You are trapped in your own cave
Disobedient as you didn’t behave
Troubled spirits within
Transcend
Take everything of your dream in
Still dreaming
Hoping
Intensifying
Dreams are waiting for your reaction
Dare to Dream the impossible
Extremes
Beyond
Arrived
Wake up
Dreamed upon
You are still among
Destiny the dreams expelled
Destined now
The dreams showed you how

Dear Diary
My moment taking a minute
I write because I found love
At first, I wanted love, but wasn’t being loved
It all changed in a big turnaround
The kiss on my lips is what started it all
It caused my body to have expelling eruptions
Then it was followed by sensations
Love had taken me over
My ***** were being fed because I was hungry, but became full
I am the witness
My room felt like a hot summer night
All intense
Temperatures seemed to rise
Energized
No need to
No need to emphasize
Love was in control
Took hold
I went over the rainbow
I was truly loved
Now you know
Got to go
Diary moment
Definitely no let down
Heart to Heart pump
Blood rushing
Diary out

Intercity bus travel that takes you far
You don’t need your car
Small Towns and Major cities
State to State
Scenery that passengers will appreciate
Picture taking to formulate
Rural Bus Stations to Terminals
The road with the Greyhound Bus in Control
America’s Icon Company that has been around
Destinations anywhere can be bound
A Bus company that operates around the clock
Maneuvering that never stops
On-Time performance in arriving on schedule
Sometimes buses can be late
Yet it is situations that the company doesn’t anticipate
Greyhound buses roll Day and Night
The headlights tell the story in plain sight
Bus Drivers greeting one another with in on and off flashing lights
Road bound
Now that describes the bus Hound
Greyhound then
Still now
That is the Greyhound bus know how
Towns folks often wave
America comes up close
Look no further than the Greyhound bus
You will always be shown the way
Welcome Aboard!

It all started with World Wars
Drafts for men were expelled
Some men who didn’t want had to compel
But Highway buses had to continue to operate
Bus travel is how passengers associate
Men were caught in war details
Bus operations couldn’t just fail
How would highway buses still operate being dominated by men?
Women applied for the task
They were hired in numbers fast
Women knew they had what it took to drive a bus
The country was going into war and there was no fuss
Some women drove trucks
Driving a bus would no problem
It was a matter of putting on the bus uniform
Operating on schedules being the norm
Praise the women who had the courage to pursue the highway bus driving career
Today, women are driving in the Greyhound preserver
The chance to pursue
Men might say, this is something new
Women bus drivers became known
History has shown
Women now drive in highway coaches and transit
No one thought women would catch on
They proved they know how to get along
It goes to show you  “Women have Drive”

Some say a day of the ordinary
Others might say extraordinary
Wives that were married to Husband’s who cheated
No honesty, but pure deceit
Husbands would prance out with other women on the side
Some Husbands would even do it where they used to reside
There was no Wives love
It was all Forget Me Not
Wives tried to be faithful, but how do you be faithful when Husbands were cheating on the side
Wrong was going to be right as the Wives themselves were going out doing their thing
Partake was going to be called for Heaven’s sake of love
Seems like a relationship battle
It was by way of Tick Tac Toe
Even score
The Wives were putting their former Husbands on notice by way of know
Affection at its best depending on which side you were on
The Husbands could care less
No one wants to concede
It seems the Husbands were doing thing
The Wives had found their individual fling
Yesterday has turned tomorrow in a big way
Both sides are like the runway with all having their get away
Husbands swinging and Wives fulfilling
Yesterday’s Wives with their outside missions to please
Everyone maneuvering at ease
Let’s see how long this will last
Yesterday’s Wives all in heat
It’s between the sheets
Yesterday’s Wives outcome.

Around and Around
Traveling through destinations one journey at a time
Where your journey takes you, nobody knows
Expectations feeling like sensations
Efforts leading into opportunities
There’s no telling where journey’s will make their mark
But it becomes learning experiences to fulfill
It won’t be complete until
Pass your own possibilities quiz as the drill
Circulation should be flourishing appreciation
Seeking advice as suggestions
Thinking on what you never thought
Forgetting on the never will
Yet, only you yourself who knows their true self
It is not about everybody else
Think of yourself in a Time Capsule with a mission
It’s about precision
Coming to your decisions
Followed by purpose and reason
Why the journey?
The only way to find out is too explore
The answer will be in your own journey
But remember, you must observe
You will not notice right away
It will be what you learned being a take away
Trust me, it will be straight understanding
This is where Learning and Development take place
It is not a waste
Time well spent
It’s where your expectations went
Go where you have never gone before
Journey in with continuation out.

Feet go in and out
Walking pavements moving about
Sometimes shoes fit just right
At other moments feeling tight
Sometimes shoes make feet ache
The thoughts that surround being for Heaven’s Sake
It’s all about comfort and style
Being confident while thinking while
Shoes having the right look
A picture taking session in took
It doesn’t matter if its Casual, Formal or Business
You are the only that can testify being the witness
That is what makes you a Shoe In.

A barstool sit in don’t you move
I am here to get my drink on and frustrations to prove
I have a job which I am not enthused
Drinking might sound overused
I am at the bar to think
I am drinking away troubles
I can’t even imagine how my day went
I know it wasn’t good with no heaven sent
Getting my drink on
For me, it is like an anecdote to help me move along
I know what you are thinking, a bar is no place to get away from situations
It only adds to more extensions
The barstool has become my friend
I am drunk and won’t pretend
Drinking is my therapy to relax
Yet I am still feeling a little perplexed
Getting my drink on
I am at where I should belong
Now I felt off the barstool
I am looking like a fool
Perhaps I should jump into a pool
Someone helped me up from the floor
It was a stranger, but I am not sure
I am so drunk, and I am saying things that make no sense
Everything I say is passed tense
The night is young, but I feel old
The barstool is my threshold
Let me try to make it home
I am glad I live alone
I crashed on the bed
Drunk beyond drunk
My whole is nothing but bunk
I feel like I am nothing but a low life punk
Tomorrow will be another story
I must take a look at image in the mirror being my own inventory
End of story

Eyes on the nation
Situations occurring
No narration needed
How did America even get into serious situations?
Situations that have caused people to be murdered and even hospitalized
Throughout all this turmoil not even an apology
Guns in the hands with a purpose to ****
Missions with strategies to fulfill
The world often asks themselves in will they be next?
Sometimes wonder circulates as people even step out their doors
Media news you can’t ignore
Anguish runs through America’s minds
It’s not something sublime
Its reality being truth
Everyone says change must come
But change comes from within everyone who thinks differently in these dreadful
Circumstances
But the same scenario keeps continuing
Its people that must change in order for a change to be a reality
Change must rise in how people think and associate with others
The idea of hate must form togetherness in becoming relate
Right now, we are living in fate
People must appreciate one another and get along with one another
There can’t be I don’t care attitude
Peace must have solitude
We are living in a world that is slowly becoming conclude
What the world needs is love being soothe
Calmness with no worry
Mistakes with sorry
The world can’t change itself as people make up the world
My Grandfather often spoke “IT TAKES ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TO MAKE UP THE WORLD”
People must change their own narrative in their own justifications
In a world no human created, but why destroy a world that has lots to offer
Some people even think “****” is the way
But what is the cause of one’s negative thinking of others?
Whatever happened in the past let it be buried in the past
The thought of killing doesn’t do wrong, but the exchange in fulfilling
Change your thinking
A world of tomorrow could be eliminated today
Stand for everyone’s life
That is my advice

The story in how words influenced the world
It caused sentences to translate
Helped readers to appreciate
It started centuries ago
Follow me and let me show
Going back as far as Ancient Rome
A Ruler wanted to implement laws
Documentation of clauses
It took words explaining in sentences of do’s and don’ts in provisions
From the point on, words and sentences began with power in life
Electrified and intensified even today
Words have always been expressed through Legacy Historians along with Poets leading today

Sentences explaining good and bad experiences
The thought behind the influences
It also comes down to instances
The encouragement has always been felt
Heart given joy being an honor to write
Every Poet, and even the ones who don’t think they are not a POET has inspiration
It’s appreciation in what is expels from the heart
The emotions that are immediately let out
Every moving letter have a meaning with consistency like I said before, “Power in Words”
Poets have that source of power that push words for reading

Think of yourself as a WORD ENHANCER
Poet thought and inner creativity sought
What a combination?
It’s the mind that unlocks what’s hidden in the mind treasure chest
Beyond information, but capturing attention
It’s a matter of persuasion
The words are out there
Element of preserver
As you write word changes
Any writer behind the connection in using the right words for effectiveness
Now that you know you are the word changer
Think POSSIBILITIES, REALITIES and PURPOSE behind why do you write
You have always been the answer to words
But I wanted to prove it.

What would it take to say Hello?
Why do people make other people feel shallow?
It involves having respect
Imagine the gratification in effect
It is not a test
It’s just observation telling true confess
That statement above says it best
People often stare
In their mind it is their characteristic in they don’t care
But it puts people in a situation of caution in beware
Looks can ****
Expressions of warning of instill
Somewhere the world loss distinction
Out the door went appreciation
There is no longer a sensation
It goes beyond the Pandemic
Yet nothing Academic
People Flow
It could very well be somebody you know
Don’t let people change who you are
Enriched personality in inspiration is what goes far.

Writing being the ammunition
A war between the thinker and the words
The battle between onward and forward from the heart in thoughts
The battle rattles on
Words that destroy
Sentences being the decoy
Defense running through the mind
Opposition ready to attack
Organizing supporting the facts
The writer being the General
Letters forming the Cornell
Sentences are the Throop’s
The force behind winning the writing battle
Opposition trying to corner and conquer
Strategy being the defense
Hours of time in sweat
Alphabet by Alphabet falling down
However, inspiration encouraging and urging sentences to take a stand
Word strength in numbers
Alphabets rise and got up
Finished the battle in being a complete write
Victory formed sight
Opposition defeated
Sentences reigned supreme
Writing battle station rose through the uncertain ashes
Mission complete
Writing that didn’t retreat
Victory writing stands tall
Conquering all
Writing Battle stations with rise
Simply emphasize

Any highway with a surprise
Life focused on realize
Always be encouraged to emphasize
Travel with an open mind
Watch as the scenery unfolds
The picture windows being the narration of story told
Greyhound who shows you towns that might not be on any map
Don’t forget to wear your thinking cap
The Greyhound rolling wheels not needing a road map
Recline and lean back and take a nap
Greyhound bringing your destination closer than you think
I just saw America’s Uncle Sam give a wink
Greyhound showing you possibilities
Your life you haven’t thought about
A turnaround will be worked out
Greyhound and you united as one
Greyhound with your destiny
Enrich and embrace in the Greyhound way
Think Greyhound always when you want to travel any given day
Leave and arrive
Drive our way
Think of Greyhound being your getaway

Preparation in helping you become your own Man or Woman
Shared personal life experiences
Helping you to not get stuck in life’s pitfalls
Taking responsibility while standing tall
Enforcing values with maturity
Learned importance of one’s character and well being
Educated to continue being educated
Substitute nothing surrounding excuses, but venture with achievement of fulfillment
Don’t listen to false hopes, but expand your dreams
Can’t is not an option unless proven in efforts
Explore your own horizon of success
Keep your mind open with understanding
Gave you my wisdom, but now excel in your own expectation
Lives of two can also be established as one
Think shall and focus on will
Father’s best
Let the teachings throughout be your daily confess

Darkness casting as an image
Face unknown
Features unknown
Captivation relishing on fear
Who is this shadow near?
Wonder of the minds in wanting to analyst
But frightened in what could be a surprise
It could very well be a prospect of someone to die
But whose life?
However, the shadow is all around
Surrounded within the darkness
Light can’t pierce
The shadow is a force to deal with
How does one do battle?
One must be caution and idle
The shadow appears but doesn’t vanish
The darkness makes the shadow mysterious
Nothing distinguished
The shadow walks among
No wonder to look upon
A moment could be any second
All minds are on reckon
The shadow doesn’t speak only creeps
Are you the next victim?
Screams won’t help
Worrying won’t solve
Don’t even bother to sob
The shadow is already in your mist
Only time will tell
The shadow is all in you
Fate is in the shadow’s hands
Your tomorrow could end today
Your soul could move array
The shadow
The need for darkness
You being the witness

I was raised by my Granddad
He thought of me as his Lad
He taught me right from wrong
He also expressed in how I should get along
My thoughts are his legacy he gave me
“Be everything that you are meant to be”
“Become a Commodity”
It was all related for what my Granddad expected for me in life
My Grandad had me practice typing 4 hours every day, and helped me build up my vocabulary intellectually
The whole process was preparing for College Education
My Granddad would often say “I don’t care other young people are doing, but for you it will be Higher Learning”
Higher Learning it was
He saw me being an achiever
However, it was my Granddad being a Believer instilling assurance within me
I thank my Granddad often for his influence
If it wasn’t for my Granddad, I don’t think I would have pushed myself into expectations
My Granddad’s legacy still holds true today in giving
I made many strides of accomplishments
All through the guidance of my Granddad, but I must give thanks to the Almighty above
His spirit holds true within my heart
I will never forget
I am the Adult he said I would become
My Granddad said, “You will remember this Old Man”
I do, and have no reason not too
So Happy Father’s Day in the Heavenly divine
Your Grandson is going just fine
Your teachings were tough
Your influence was more than enough
Your Legacy followed
Happy Father’s Day beyond.

Help the world to believe in hope
Understanding is how one copes
I pray for covering in enemy protection
A defense that the Evil can’t touch
I also pray for encouragement for the world
A world of Peace
Let your frustrations be released
Make every second and moment a time to pray
Devotion surrounded by blessings
Turn hate into respect
Turn rebel into obedience
Let spiritual promise be your assurance
I pray for the world in endurance
Turn patience into tolerance
The Lord can supply all your needs
Let every day be a blessing to proceed
This I pray
Always believe throughout the day
Don’t go astray
Be covered by Heavenly hands
The truth being the caravan
My prayers go out throughout the land
You will be ok
The Lord will keep it that way.

Be appreciative
Expect the blessings
Be grateful for life
Don’t complain unnecessarily
Your Tomorrow has meaning
Today it becomes a blessing
Understanding leading to wisdom
All valued from the Kingdom
Humanitarian of you
Presence of your image
You being you
Be Thankful in all things
It’s Mercy and Grace
Never let Thankful be erased
The thought is be blessed
Take nothing for granted thinking less
Being thankful makes you the best

What do I mean by that?
Be active in everything you do in life
Don’t settle and never be too idle
Stay inspired
Be connected
Fulfill
Beat your own drums of accomplishment
Meet our own individual objectives
Keep living until Heaven calls
Accelerate at your own pace
Test your mind being your own race
Sit only for a brief pause
Always be on the move and ready for possibilities
This is your own retirement to prove
Just because you are retired doesn’t spell OLD
Illustrate by being bold
Remember, you are the best story ever told
Retirement is a life revival
Opportunities to meet new adventures
Exploring many ventures
Retirement continues until time’s out
Until that time, keep moving about
This is your time and establishment
Make it spectacular and robust
Retire in carry on

Summer Fun
Sunshine among
Beaches and Tan
The outdoors using no fan
Vacation time
Anywhere bound
The seashore sounds
Time to do absolutely nothing
Now let me plan a trip
Somewhere I can let my toes dip
Travel Travel Travel
How Nobel
Won’t be reading any novel
Summer a wait
Time to appreciate
I can’t wait
Anticipate
Soak up the rays
Hooray
Now let me be on my way
Anywhere destination will be my getaway

A night full of dreams
Possibilities that could come true
A closed door that opened
Opportunity trying to get my attention
I was my own representation
What I thought I was shown what I could do
The time to pursue
Acting moment
Imagining myself on the Broadway stage
Captivated and amazed
Speaking words from a rehearsed script
It was happening on the Great White Way Broadway
That is where my dream wanted me to be
My name in lights for all to see
My tomorrow was yesterday
As the music and curtain came up
I felt certain
Perform I did
The finale being the audience applause in approval
Nothing unusual
My moment with a cause
They say if you wish hard enough, dreams do come true
It was a moving moment for me to go through
Inspiration
Illustration
Audition
Perform
Finale
Dream and later awoke with something to think about
Lights, Stage and Showtime

What a night
Delighted and enchanted
Glancing at the stars as they twinkle
Made my wish
I have my Lady by my side
We walked holding hands
She is my woman and I am her man
We kissed at various intervals
As we walked, we saw other lovers in their embrace
It was as if we were seeing love tails that came to life
Fairytale night
Full of hope and dreams
Imaginations beyond expectations
Night Watch
Love Catch
Not a dream, but what love is supposed to be
Sleepless within the heart
That’s where it all starts

Started with a sip of wine
Two hearts pounding genuine
Loving between us so kind
The Moon sat the mood
Music that was Smooth
The tenderness maneuvering Soothe
Love had already begun
Togetherness among
Arms around
Aah and moans
Shoes and clothes took off
Interlude into the night
Heart to heart
Lips to Lips
Love on desire
Both on fire
Every kiss caused our bodies to erupt
It felt like an Earthquake
It was us in Heaven’s sake
It was passion between us
Sweat pouring down our intensifying bodies
Electrified connection
Kisses and arms embraced
We scored a touch down
Winners on both sides
An evening none of us will forget
There was a departure surrounding regret
We will meet again
It will be for as long as we can
It’s Sunrise and Good morning
I had a reason to yawn
I have a true love to look upon
Everlasting no end
I found my blend

You feel alone
Life has no meaning
Struggles surround you like closing in walls
Feel heavy and bound
But wait, I hear an inspiring tone from the hills
Now just be still
Hope is found above
It’s the Almighty you should think of
Knee and pray
The Almighty is the relay
He will show you the way
Darkness will turn to light
He will direct you in plain sight
Tomorrow will be a blessing
Its understanding being the lesson
Your hope will be from Heaven’s help
Believe and don’t doubt
You are experiencing a temporary bout
Turnaround is on the way
Be strong and don’t astray
Time and moment
Straight and center
Open the door and let the Almighty enter
Golden sunrise like never before
Sunset with a heart embrace
This is your now
Tomorrow never thought possible
In the midst of praise
You are covered by the amaze
