Yo Buddy, you are on this exact bar stool every day well into the night
You are trying to drink away your plight
Your problem won’t go away gulping down *****
It will only make your problem even more confused
Put the ***** glass down for a moment
You and I need to chat
The Bar Stool wants you to share your facts
What exactly led you in thinking ***** is the way to work problems out?
Your mind becomes fuzzy and understanding has no about
You are in a Bar drowning your sorrows
Live and face the problem, there is a tomorrow
The idea is to work all struggles out
Are you sleeping at night?
You keep focusing on whatever your plight
When uncertain try to pray
When things are not ok
Pray in guiding in showing you the way
Drinking only separates in causing you to go astray
Just say to yourself, my plight will be solved on this day
This bar stool wanted to encourage
I am instilling for you to have full courage
Put understanding
Nourish your soul
Then take hold
Tomorrow is a new day
Embracing is what you should do in every way
Pray

A Novelist thought clever in wanting to write a trivial story
He had all the details with bringing all its glory
How will the reader respond?
It’s anybody’s guess
The Novelist controls the theory being his trump card
But the story has a strong tail
Now let me illustrate without fail
The conclusion is the start with a turnaround
It was ****** in the start being a conclusion of the dialog
Later the story becomes a turnaround with knock at the door that led to the ******
Now there is no specific order
The idea is too visualize in your mind what the outcome should be
The Novelist is only setting the background with the situation
Yet there is a lot of reverse in the turnaround
The identity of the murderer is not really clear
But there is uncertainty being fear
The Novelist write, and suddenly pauses
He thinks to himself in where the story should begin
But does the reader want to depart instead
The conclusion in begin sounding more like an illusion
But there is a lot of confusion
Puzzled on face
This whole story could become a total erase

What do each letter represent?
Does your heart expel in what they spell?
Every letter being a meaning within its self
Sentences only guide and explain
The words are looking to captivate your very soul
Into the mind wanting you to explore
The words are determined and forcing you to not ignore
They are the conquerors being the seekers
They are the believers in one letter at a time
The words want to show you their world you have never seen
But your mind must be ready to come clean
Imagine yet believe
The surface of your forbidden soul
Open up and let the words enter
Surprises after surprises
What comes out is realize
Words you never knew
Their story in what they can do
But now you have a clue
All new
Hidden words all along

THE WEDDING BREEZE
preservationman Jul 2021
Bride and Groom
Love comes together as one in the moment being soon
Bridesmaids forming the Bridal Party
A festival celebration of love to share
The wedding is planned carefully with all the trimmings of care
The Groom and his best man will all stand together
The music will play the enchanted wedding song
My choice would be “Here and Now” by Luther Vandross
The Bride feeling proud
The smile and captivation being allowed
The Bride is thinking, I am actually getting married
The Parents are thinking on both sides, we really paid for this wedding and it is no dream
Later the vows take place
Secrete words to each other having no haste
Then after that moment, the kiss lock making for Mr. and Mrs being the marriage seal
The couples are united being for real
Walking in everlasting bliss
Again following that kiss
The Honeymoon later a waits
This is where Husband and Wife will appreciate
Days of fun and night passion exchange
Husband and Wife create
This is where I will initiate
The Wine glass is raised in the couples honor
Love, reflect and always remember
Love through it all

RESCUE ME FROM SUICIDE
preservationman Jul 2021
I feel trapped in my own emotions
I see myself drowning in an ocean
My Soul seems far away
I feel the decay
Voices tell me Die Die Die
I have no questions of why or if I should even live
Family don’t seem to have an interest
I have no one close dearest
I wonder how my suicide would be
No one would even care and see
I don’t need a push
Suicide is my only wish
I wouldn’t even say goodbye nor cry
My tomorrow came today
I have no story
Let me aim towards glory
Distance in separation
This is my Depreciation
A creation that once was
Now a destiny of a different nature
Too late, suicide wins

You thought you broke my heart
But it is unbreakable
It’s because I am prayed up being stable
You were trying to make me relish in pity
Well not on any day in any city
I am a thoroughbred being unchangeable
Your words had no power
You talked hour after hour
You still lacked power
Now you paused being your own sour
Excuses having no sense
I am shatterproof worth more than cents
You on the other hand is feeling tense
I have been granted the Heavenly sense
My spirit is too strong and you can’t defeat me
I am shatterproof
You were trying to subtract, but I got multitudes in add
Later came divide, and you got mad
Now you wonder and feel sad
That makes me glad
I was built being shatterproof

Lie after Lie
We never see truth eye to eye
The fact that truth is never told
There is always a withhold
Your lying is what keeps us apart
Now that is just a start
Every questionable thought being a coup
Misleading after misleading like an Alphabet soup
Let truth sat your free
Lying is your hidden trait from the truth
You cheated on the test
Yet you won’t even confess
You cheated on your wife
Now you are expecting advice
You have a hidden past
Your lying won’t continue to last
I need you to be truly honest
There is a witness
Your lying must stop
Nothing you say I believe
Every word that comes out of your mouth spells deceive
Your lying is your true perceive
Liar Liar Liar
One day your lying will cause you in the Justice fire

America’s Birthday was an illustrate
Battles past and present became wars
America has the wounds being scars
Yet Racism is a battle within itself
Felt near and far

Songs of God Bless America and America The Beautiful
This is what has kept America youthful
My Country Tis Of Thee
America rose from the ashes for all to see
It wasn’t easy, but became a determined task
The strength of a Nation

America still stands today
Get in touch with your fellow American’s in every way

Love doesn’t come home anymore
Our love used to be surrender at every core
We don’t talk nor look at each other
What went wrong in our relationship?
Our vows were understanding and trust
Our love doesn’t even feature must
Even that’s a question
I even offered some suggestions
You acted as if it was digestion
Still our relationship is on a pause
What is the cause?
What would it take to bring that passion back?
Our love for each other had an impact
I cry day and night for our love to return
Yet my heart feels like a burning urn
I am truthful and need you to be the same
The focus should not be on blame in shame
Our hearts must be on target on aim
The love I believe is still there
It comes at an instance
But we can’t live together on resistance
We must be persistence
We are not on an endless country back road
Take my hand and let me prove our threshold
Stars in the sky Twinkle, as we need to understand
As Man and Wife, we are both in demand
Love we now or never
I don’t want to think ever
Open up or be a closed within seal
I want our love to flourish again on real
I pray we can fulfill
But you have the will
I love you still

COUNTRYSIDE LIKE NO OTHER

Highways onto countryside roads
I have been traveling days in miles
Picture taking during while
Cowboys riding their horses
Up close and personal with Farmers in their crops
It closed me to make a little stop
Ranches upon Ranches
The Towns people in their welcome wave
Looking for shade
Sleep at sundown and rise at the Morning Sun
It’s a new day to wake up being among
Always a new beginning with every tomorrow
Mountains high
Hills with a highway rise
Around the bend being always a surprise
At times, there was a detour
But I felt a discovery like being on a tour
I saw flashing Greyhound Bus lights
The Greyhound Dog stretched out in plain sight
Distance from East to West
I covered territory and I can confess
I felt the test of inspiration and disappointment
Yet in between there was a compliment
The countryside showed me who citizens were
It was a journey’s end
I will always remember while I can
I will travel and greet again
But my travel has now come to an end

BLACK MAN MATTERS

Being a Black Man my voice can’t be still
My strength at my will
I have a mission to fulfill
As a Black Man scared for my life
I feel trapped with no advice
Brutality only leads to Death
I don’t know how much time I have to live left
But I stand representing myself as a Black Man
I have thoughts and dreams
Yet my thinking could be taken as a questionable in what it seems
Gun Bullets **** and don’t know innocent until proven guilty
Racism has turned backed time
I am considered a threat
I have done nothing wrong, but I am trying to stay upbeat
Perhaps Racism doesn’t matter to others
But it matters to me
My skin color is all that the world sees
I am a Black Man with inspiration and hope in what life should be
As a Black Man the opposition wants my voice to be silent
Everywhere I turn there is continued violence
I pray to the Lord
This battle is not mine to fight in God’s accord
I wonder at times if I will be killed on any night being the plight
Perhaps my sunrise will be darkened with no light
I could become another statistic
As a Black Man I must think realistic
But I must believe hopeful and have Faith
This is all a Black Man has
My cries come in multitudes
But just like a Book from beginning to end might be my conclude
I just want peace in soothe
I have nothing to prove
I deserve a promised life
God said it himself in giving advice
Lord I know and see
But the world keeps focusing on we
Time reversed
I read biblical scriptures verse by verse
My Faith in action in rehearse
Believe in me the way I believe in myself
My name is not assumption
I am no combustion
I am a Black Man comprising of essence
But God has given me understanding and wisdom to cherish
The world might find that surprising
As a Black Man the thought is energizing
My Death could very well be this day
Yet I am faithful in every way
I stand with one voice being one dream
I am looking out over a moving running stream
Life is not important if one doesn’t open up to God
Embrace respect and no anger steam
The world knows very well what I mean
I am a Black Man created by God
Standing on Faith and Redemption

Royalty and majestic having a kick
The ship being the TITANIC
The journey of Bon Voyage
It all happened years ago
As the ocean waves flow
Hold on tight and don’t let go
The passengers ranged from who’s who to how did you come aboard?
The Titanic was ready to set sail
It was a cruise without fail
The weather was just right for an ocean cruise getaway
The passengers were feeling at ease
The seas were calm with a refreshing breeze
The passengers were dancing and exchanging conversation along with drinking with the Titanic avion
As the cruise ship proceeded into the horizon, something was about to happen
The ship hit a huge Ice Bank, and had some damage that turned into disaster
Destruction in the making
The ship was taking on water and started to descend to the sea
The Titanic being a ship that was unsinkable
But unthinkable
Commotion came over the passengers
Echoes of despair
The ship was steadily sinking
Flares being fired to draw attention to the ship’s distress
The thought being my soul to thee
There were no ships in the area, and the Titanic was going to be a ship no more
The Death toll was uncountable
The Titanic was now heading for the bottom of Davey Jones Locker
Titanic was a terror ship

Travelling on a Motor Coach Bus

The bus left me and I was stranded
I was nowhere near any town
I was going it alone being nowhere bound
My clothes were on that missed bus
My mind wants to curse
But it was my fault so why fuss?
So I have no changing clothes
My only plan is to hitchhike
At least my thumbs are in good shape
You hear all kinds of mysterious hitchhike stories
I don’t want to become a statistic
At least I am being realistic
So I am starting to walk down route 15 under the night skies
Yet this lesson has taught me understanding and thinking wise
At least it is a clear night
The Moon is ever shining bright
But no movement of anything in sight
Total darkness with no lamp and flashlight
I could very way be loss
But that is the price one pays when you get stranded
Destiny looks farther and farther
Reality check is starting to settle in
If I were to tell my story I wouldn’t know where to begin
Now I am stranded and alone
Nowhere bound
Surrounded by peace with no sound
Will I ever be found?
A Trailer Truck cruising and I am flagging him down
I don’t know if I will ever arrive at my destination
But you see my dilemma as my presentation

Look in the mirror and see you are the influence
Encouragement starts with you
Don’t expect encouragement to always come from the outside
It’s comes from inner where you reside
It’s acceleration for you to go through
Resist only your thoughts that are holding you back
Make a list of all your drawbacks

Be consistent
Avoid resistant
Think positive in all your approaches
Don’t depend on negativity
That means your aurora that accompanies in your conversations of other voices
You have choices

My life is on the line
Life is not going too be kind
I can’t convey details
My life already is an established fail
I am becoming weak and frail
Value has no meaning to me anymore
I standalone in my own whirlpool
Perhaps I am a plain fool
Any given hour my life could be no more
It’s a matter of time
No excuses
I just can’t explain

MY JAIL CELL
preservationman May 2021
Surrounded by four by four walls
The Cell bars thick and tall
I have a small window to peek out and see Day and Night
When darkness comes, it becomes my personal night plight
Lights turn to out
My thoughts only settle in the present
The Jail Cell is whom I represent
No Family, Friends nor phones
I am totally alone
I pray to keep my mind sane
I try not to complain
This is my current prison time that will remain
In but with no out
My parole is being worked about
Tomorrow unknown
My Lawyer will let the facts be shown
But to society at present, I am not known

MY LADY
preservationman May 2021
My Lady My Lady
I showed you I am a true man
You don’t find many within the land
That kiss was enforced through you giving me courage
It was fullest
What’s love without romance?
It all comes from the heart
My heart had direction
You are my Lady of affection
The emotions I felt
You gave me character
Your heart was my open door to enter
Enchanted beyond
You are definitely someone to look upon
Love you even more than ever
Thank you my Lady

GOD’S ECHOES
preservationman May 2021
Calling Earth, Calling Earth, are you listening?
You see the Pandemic is letting up
I am giving Earth one more chance
This is an opportunity
I see the Earth needs unity
Earth is slacking in its prayers
Remember, I am the preserver
Things happening on Earth not right, but must change
Hatred and Sinful nature can’t remain
I want humbled and sincere hearts
This is how change starts
Biblical Scriptures tell my whole story
I am the glory
I bring Earth comfort and peace
Just rejoice and feel released
Peace is what I am about
You can’t do it alone, as I am the Lord that works things out
The time is now
Do it while
I am not about style
The Earth I control
I am the whole
I will be watching
Carefully observing
The Earth is under my eyes
I am the understanding and wise
Watch the skies
The elements of my return
Stay focused and learn
I have spoken

VIRTUE EYES
preservationman May 2021
My heart cherishes
But being old, it’s hard for me to remember
My thoughts say, “Remember the time”
But my body says I have reached my years
I am an 89 Year Old Man
I have seen life and enjoyed
But now my failing condition constitutes rage and being annoyed
Now all I see is walls that surround
My friends are dead, and nowhere to be found
My sight is slim, and all I hear is sounds
My life is in the hands of the Heavenly Father
Heaven watches and I am there abreast
My time is of the essence
My final curtain slowly coming down
Lord, lead me to your flowing waters
You have showered me in blessings to reach my old age
Life has been good to me
My soul is devoted
My flesh will soon turn to dust
But please don’t make a fuss
I lived and saw
Cry no tears
I am with the Lord near
Angels have descended
This is my when
Heaven bound

LOTTERY RICH
preservationman May 2021
Lottery ticket I hope I win
Let my fortune be in sight
Perhaps I am being too polite
The lottery ticket will make me rich
The thought of it is making me itch
I will try to be myself
It will be my own Robin Leech affair
I will handle my lottery ticket win with care
I must be careful in whom I share
I must think financially wise
Maybe start my own enterprise
I am beginning to feel energized
Imagine my own corporation having a skyscraper 80 stories aiming for the sky
But between you and I
One can dream
We can think what would seem
Inspiration is surging from a nearby stream
I am still thinking lottery rich
However, I will wait until I reach cross that bridge
It would be a blessing being a privilege
preservationman May 2021
Now her me loud and clear
I am the President of the United States, and won’t be smeared
The United States Constitution shows us inspiration in preserver
I have bills that need to pass through
The Voters think we have no clue
Now GOP and Democrats we must work together
The Bill involves us all
I am the President and make that call
If we intend to function, we must act on resolutions
The Senate seems to be stuck on negative conclusions
The Media is pretending it all is an illusion
Remember these vital words, ‘WE THE PEOPLE”
It is just that simple
We must be able and ready to charge
Bills strive on victory
That is what makes them a story
It is also America’s glory
We walk in our own shoes
Yet lately in this Capitol, you seemed to be confused
Both parties must move from separation and defuse
Bills are waiting for the senate vote
I am the President, and I can assure you this is no joke
Remember my commitment in the words I spoke
It was a promise to America
I was being honest in my speech
It was my determination without any defeat
I hope I have opened your eyes and you are a woke
That is my Washington, DC Rise, and today we have understanding be wise

INTERVENTION WISE
preservationman May 2021
This is who I am
You wonder
I analyze
You assume
I illustrate
You suggest
I participate
You look yonder
I am at present of a tomorrow moment
Distance is all around
But how far do you see?
You must be motivated to the highest
Dream, but look out for the detour
The straight line can have a cut of
But stay on focus, and don’t lose sight
Thoughts happen Day and Night
You see what you want to see
But is it what it should be?
A mirror can’t define a situation
There must be substance for creation
So understand yourself
Only you have the explanation
You are the centerpiece of presentation
You are now the representation
With that said that concludes my lesson of education

THE STORY OF HEFTY THOMAS
preservationman May 2021
Not about a trash bag
A pulley man being no drag
Sound the Trumpet’s as there is strength in our midst
Hefty Thomas, a Weightlifting Champion
He could lift 1000 pounds in weights as if they were toys
He could bend steel bars as if they were rubber
Mr. Thomas performed Feats of Strength
He is one that goes at every length
Hefty pulls heavy trucks, buses and even a large passenger plane
He is his own takeoff and controls his own boundaries
The world has witnessed Hefty Thomas at numerous weightlifting competitions
Competitors are always warned when Hefty demonstrates
Once Hefty lifts, the message becomes clear to competitors, “Lift or stay home”
Some people saw Hefty as Hercules while others see him as Atlas
But no matter what, strength in any name
Hefty is a strength warrior
He also had been witnessed in crushing a solid brick to ashes with one crush
Hefty wrestled a Lion, and you could hear Bone Crushing sounds from the Lion
Greater the strength the power within the heart
Heft Thomas stands 6’2” weighing 400 pounds with veins extending from his neck to his legs
His muscles are all beef and contour
Hefty is not a little man and some consider him a giant in average standards
He had broken world weightlifting records
Yet, he never competed in the Olympics, but didn’t chose to do so
Hefty Thomas wanted to show the possibilities in how strength could be performed in fitness good in strength beyond compare
He was a man who had a mission, and strength being his bounty and that I wanted to share.

THE LONELY VIOLIN
preservationman May 2021
In the corner collecting dust all alone
This violin has seen fame being entertaining and full blown
The violin has played Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall
It even has seen all over the world by all
The violin even played solo behind various themes
A violin voice of melody of its own
But years of neglect into the dust years
There is no preserver
The violin’s time has come an sad end
Sits with no purpose
A violin that enthused the world
Now forgotten strings
The violin had the spotlight doing its thing
Alone now, but the violin proved without a doubt
It showed what music was all about.

THE CAPTAIN WORE NYLON
preservationman May 2021
Comfort on his mind
Relaxed in being his self combined
The Captain’s daily task of steering a passenger cruise ship
But what I discovered being a tip
He was Captain during the day
But at night, Ship Ahoy Disco Queen
He was often dance to music from Donna Summer
The Captain would be in his room
He danced away with nothing on but nylon
But the Captain always thought that was where he belonged
Being a Captain was his lively hood
It was becoming a Disco Queens in where he truly stood
The night showing his other side
Because of that he wanted to hide
So how did the Captain separate Day from Night without being detected?
I can assure you it wasn’t easy
No pun here, but it was somewhat cheesy
So the Captain had control through the waves
But at night, he just couldn’t control himself and behave.

LIFE’S DIRECTION
preservationman May 2021
You were told to turn right
You didn’t listen and turned left right into a detour
You thought you were in the know
Because of not following directions, your own understanding showed
Pursue has a listen
Knowledge becomes wisdom gained
You must obedient
But keep your inspiration radiant
Embrace in motivation
This is one of life’s divine creations
Have you mastered or was it pretend?
Do you have ability of can?
Any idea when?
Don’t think you know if you have not experienced
Because the blockade is your own interference
Life gives you clearance
An Actor knows because of what he or she feels
But life is real
You have to deal
Constructive criticism is a preparation
Life’s aspirations
What you put in as participate
It’s not a dream dropped out of nowhere
It’s you and life achieving together in compare
What might being obvious in could be
What should is the possibilities
Turn negative renounce into your positive pronoun
Follow is to listen
Achieve is a reminder in continual
Ability that works
Life adding to the perk
Settle your thoughts
Control your dreams
Step out into your own spotlight
The sun shines, but don’t stay under the shade
Come out and show you in what Heaven made

BREAKABLE GLASS
preservationman May 2021
One drop becomes a break
When it gets personal it becomes hate
Standards is what the heart creates
Plastic is only a assimilate
The glass being broken promises
Honesty that was always false
Particular setting the course
Glass cracks nothing but lies
But don’t get hypothesized by looking into the eyes
Its phoney hopes and dreams
People are not what they seem
Shattered emotions
Broken glass connected with broken spirit
It is called second class
Broken for sure with an abode
Glass pieces can’t be fixed
The heart can’t do a mend
It’s a clean sweep
The broken separation is what the heart will keep
Breakable glass cut deep

Crime in Sentenceville
Time after time to fill
Justice within the period of Villain’s rise in Jail time
It was the villain called Night in planning a crime wave of all crime waves
Intentions with no behave
Night planned to steal all Poetry work causing desperation
It was the hour of midnight, and the plan was taking place at that moment within a suburb warehouse in Wordyton part of Sentenceville
The alarm was cut off and every careful step made
Nothing was overlooked, but carefully mapped out
But was it?
Poet Man got the call that something sinister was taking place
It was dash into the Book Mobile, and put a seal onto Night’s plot
It is going to be a Night of like it or not
When Poet Man arrived, he confronted Night, and he was surprised
But Night’s Hutchmen thought they were wise
But Poet Man is energized full of words of power
Hour by hour
But was Poet Man outnumbered?
He came prepared with illusionist his wonder
The fight grew into Justice having a battle with evil
As the fight became intense between Poet Man with Illusionist by his side with competing with Night and Hutchmen
All kinds of words flying through the air during the fight such as Distinguished, Justice, Liberty and creation straight out
Poet Man and Illusionist gave a fight to the finish in keeping Poetry where it stands and where it belongs in society
So behind bars and hutchmen got
Night saw daylight being caught like a net
Poet Man and Illusionist had that effect
Poet Man and illusionist said, “Poetry is here to stay, but Night will always see darkness loss in his own fog”.

Who could forget the opening intro for Channel 5 10:00 PM NEWS, “Do you know where your children are?”
I knew where I was at home waiting for the 10:00 PM NEWS, and the image of the anchor Bill McCreary to speak
I was taking a Broadcast Journalism course at CUNY Hunter College
I witnessed first hand at Channel 5 Metromedia Television Station now known as FOX 5 Television Studio in New York City
My Hunter College class took part in the Live Studio Taping of the BILL BOBBS TALK SHOW
It was after the taping, I briefly spoke to Mr. Bill McCreary
How do I describe Bill McCreary, Professionalism and his words giving viewers his purpose in his stories
Mr. McCreary had explanations in what made his stories come to life
One particular news story was MALCOLM X, and Mr. McCreary had interviewed Dr. Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X
I had the pleasure and honor to have Dr. Betty Shabazz as one of my Professors at CUNY Medgar Evers College, my Alma Mater
I hope you see a connection
Influence and assurance coming together
Tomorrow was more than a thought in reality
Mr. McCreary brought what could have been an Impossible Dream
He showed how opportunity can happen
So Mr. McCreary showed me I am the wonder within, but don’t look yonder, but look directly at your front door in possibilities
Let truth always be in our hearts, and honesty set the tone in meaning
My tomorrow came with understanding by the media eyes of one man being wise
Bill McCreary wants the world to remember him in his stance behind purpose
Reasoning having no doubt
Yet it was clear in being obvious
You don’t want the world to cry, but I am saddened
You will not be forgotten
Your Soul is my behold
Stand up and be bold
Heaven needed you, and you answered the call
The 10:00 PM Nightly News is missing a distinguished anchor
It’s you Mr. Bill McCreary
Every step I take will be an effort behind every inspiring try
It’s not goodbye, but until we meet again

A TIME FOR POETS
preservationman May 2021
Let the words dazzle and dance
Come alive in entertainment in trance
Words have their own presence
No one knows what is inside as the Poet thinks
The Poet controls the words and letters using the alphabet
Like a Piano key, it’s the words that set the tune
The Poet introduces the tempo
Open heart
A Poet’s theory
History and mystery
Unknown until proven
Follow me to our destination
We reached sentenceville
In your heart until
You thought
But a Poet showed
You read
But now you understand
A Poet knew from the very beginning
You wondered but wasn’t sure
There were clues along the w4ay
The Poet makes it clear
But the Poet always draws you near
A time being the moment
Write in constant action
Yet wanting your reaction
The Poet’s time takes time
That is what separates us being genuine
You can applaud being appreciation
This how a Poet ends in presentation.

BATTLE OF ALL TIME
preservationman May 2021
Destruction going through my head
It’s attack on instinct being the instead
Struggles through the ashes
But I must rise above
There’s a story within a story
Chapters of fight
Vengeance with might
Darkness controls
But I see uncertain light
The mind says focus
I am surrounded by time
But why do I feel so unkind?
There is fire burning within my heart
Lost soul
I stand alone being bold
Perhaps I should kneel and pray
I remember my Grandmother saying praying makes everything ok
Lord, help me reach beyond what I can’t control
Be my guide
Turn my spirit into centralize
But let me apologize
Let my struggles become victory
Your presence being your glory
Story to tell
Show me that straight line
You said walk and continue to walk
It was our talk
A turnaround
I am free
It’s a new day
Tomorrow has no sorrow
Living life
Knowing in receiving
Struggles that bind
I am turned loose

MOTHER’S ARE SO SWEET
preservationman May 2021
Eye to Eye
Voice to Voice
The love they bring
Embracing being the thing
It’s a time when a child is sometimes sick
Mother’s to the rescue is what stick
Responsibility never a question
Discipline in my eyes is a life suggestion
Learn from when you are wrong
Having respect when becoming an Adult is how one gets along
Mother’s have no specific schedule
They work around the clock
Their compassion never stops
Mother’s know how to be a Mother, because they act like a Mother should
Mother’s don’t sit still
They know they have duties to fulfill
So on this Mother’s Day
I had to take a moment to say
I cherish you more than you know
Don’t ever let go
I know at times you wonder if you are loved
Every day you are the honor
Every tomorrow is a new day of your inspiration
Every second is my heart enduring in your appreciation
So Happy Mother’s Day to every Mom
Love and embrace
Remembrance of a Mother is something no one will ever erase
