JOLLY GREEN GIANT VIBE
preservationman Nov 2023
Standing high and tall
Giant of all
Combing vast farm lands
Nutrition and health being the key
String beans in keeping one lean
Corn like no other
Spinach and Broccoli being another
Eating right
Sometimes very light
Dinner wouldn’t be complete without the Jolly Green Giant
A brand name like a client
Doesn’t matter if from the can or bag
Vegetables grand
Eating fan
Sit and eat
What could be beat?
Healthy treat
Just eat

IN THE WILDERNESS
preservationman Mar 2021
Stepped into the wrong direction
Fear all through me in indication
I don’t want to be any animal’s prey
My mind says just pray
I feel alone
I am surrounded by nothing but forest
It’s trees upon trees
I don’t feel at ease
I could be pounced by any fierce animal in a second
But not I am on caution in beckoned
The forest environment says be prepared
I guess the animals are thinking welcome to my laird
There’s no time to declare
But I do need get out of here
But I am truly scared
This is forest is beyond compared
But the darkened make my vision impaired
Yet I am wide open in the wilderness
I have no accord being a witness
I am my own accord
There’s no water being a fount
I must keep moving about
This is a bout
There’s no way I can work this out
The wilderness is my journey
This is certainly not funny
The wilderness is, and here I am

North and South at war
The breakup of Slavery being the score
Movement having a maneuver
The plan being a strategy
Ammunition creating destruction
It was a cause having effect
The act of slavery needing an end
A time for Freedom to begin
The names of Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln
The thought of Freedom in blockage from one’s means
Yet Slavery being a cause to reject
A constitution of Freedom
Years of divine wisdom
Ashes being the years far too long being a slave
The separation became the hour of change
The North was going to rearrange
A Civil War having a battle
Darkness of war no more
Road to Freedom became a life of explore
A slave being no slave thereafter for one to ignore
The ashes are only what it took to change slavery
But it was all handled so bravely.

I HAD RISEN ABOVE THE EARTH
preservationman Feb 2017
It seemed like a dream
But I felt I was being transported as if I was on a beam
No spaceship was involved
Destination unknown
I was moving through space
I noticed atmosphere waste
It was passed the Milky Way
Later into the horizon no one however explored
I saw the outside of Heaven oh my Lord
The beauty and superiority
Heaven beyond my expectation
The Joy that came over me
The Praise that only I could only give
But once I seen Heaven
My dream descended me back
I made my preparation to make Heaven my home
Imagine, Heaven being a place to roam
The dream in bringing reality
Oh Heaven with plenty of activity.

My heart wishes to live on the moon
But it won’t be anytime soon
A new planet to live on
For all it takes for as long
I wish I could just reach the moon straight up
But from the distance, I can only see the Moon’s make up
At night the moon looking like a bright sphere
However, I wish I could move from Earth in order to preserver
Live on the moon being a new place
The old environment of Earth certainly I would erase
Gat away from this rat race
Having inspiration and a fulfilling trace
The moon a waits
However no specific date
For now, I will remain on Earth in my current estate.

SLEIGH HOUND

The Reindeers felt tired
They were no longer inspired
Christmas is only moments away
Santa paced back and forth
Santa needed help with his sleigh
That was his getaway
He didn’t want to let all the Girls and Boys down
It was a night Santa had to be bound
Santa heard echoes in chant of “Leave and US”
Santa thought, “He was dreaming”
Suddenly, the chant got louder and clearer
“LEAVE THE DRIVING TO US”
Santa realized the Hound Bus
Santa immediately called Greyhound and asked if they could be his sleigh for the night
Greyhound felt that was out of sight
Greyhound was ready and Greyhound told Santa not to worry
Everything is ok
Santa was happy he won’t disappoint the kids
The Toys and all kinds of Gifts were loaded under the bus Luggage bins
Santa suggested, let us depart and let Greyhound spin
The Greyhound Driver flashed the bus headlights in delight for Santa
Santa said, “We will be travelling all night
Santa left with Greyhound phase and gave a wave
The Greyhound bus Air has set the stage
Look out highways and pave the way
We are the Santa special
Our mission schedule is reaching kids hearts

MOUNTAIN HIGH
preservationman Aug 2016
The solid mountains ever so high
I thought to myself and wondered why?
The answer being a creation descended directly from Heaven
But I knew I had to climb
I had to see the distance of my life to be
The depth of the mountain having a destiny
My life’s direction would no longer be a mystery
So I started to head up the mountain peak
The Half Way point became of what is the mission that you seek
Another step of an established almost there
Inspiration flashed to continue to preserver
Every step I knew I was getting near
I reached the Mountain Top
Endurance is what helped me not to stop
At that moment, I had a reason to live, purpose, achieve and accomplish
It was the mountains solid foundation being my assurance I would achieve
The focus in sitting high at the peak
My institution surely wasn’t weak
But understanding being the convincing key, and it was the Heavens that truly showed me.

Hefty Man, a super hero of street garbage
Strong and Sturdy the elements obvious
Hefty Man wants to rid the grime of garbage all over the world

A clean sweep that needs too be done

9/11 MEMORIAL NOT
preservationman Sep 2021
It relates to 9/11
You see, I went on an interview Two Weeks before 9/11/2001
The interview was at Marsh & McClennan, Inc. at their Midtown New York City Office
But the Clerical job I would be doing was at the Former original 1 World Trade Center Tower on the 96th Floor
If I worked during that period, I wouldn’t have made it out for sure
I never did get hired
But it was a blessing
The World Trade Towers were attacked
I could have been involved in that
A blessing was bestowed unto me you
Perhaps a learning lesson for me
Faith was the key
My name could have been on the memorial list
But God saw my name would be overlooked survival miss
I firmly believe God’s mission having a plan in his hand
I am at God’s command
Faith
Hope
Praise
It was all through God’s amaze
Amen in the blessing
9/11, I will never forget and always remember
I was given another chance of life

THE VOYAGE OF CAPTAIN QUID
preservationman May 2018
Word had it that treasure was at the bottom of the Organic Sea
A map that would plan the course
Creed and Selfishness on Captain Quid’s mind
But the Sea God’s disapprove of Captain Quid’s and Crew in getting the treasure
There will be no pleasure for measure
The Sea Waves turned sharp as if they had rage
It had nothing to do with age
Thunder roared and Lightening flashed
But Captain Quid was determined that the Treasure Chest was going to be his cash
It was a matter of timing having a dash
Determination was going to become reality in Captain Quid’s mind
However, the Sea God’s had a force
It would be Captain Quid’s ship in a toss
The Sea God’s wanted Captain Quid’s ship to get lost
The Sea God’s fiery was to make sure that the Treasure Chest stays buried at the bottom of the sea
Electric Eel’s and Whales were carefully guarding the Treasure Chest
It was certainly protection for good measure
Captain Quid’s Crew made several attempts of getting the fortune
But Captain Quid’s crew got the charge of their lives from the Electric Eel’s
Some of the crew were attacked and eaten up
While others abandoned the whole idea altogether
But the bottom line that Captain Quid never got the Treasure Chest to begin with
So how does Captain Quid feel now?
He is puzzled on an empty manifest
Yet Captain Quid and Crew are their own confess
But the Sea God’s said it best
“Creed will never have wealth, and Evil with demise will always have no clean bill of Health”.

HEAVEN’S OPEN DOOR

My Grandmother would often tell me stories about the Lord when I was little
She would also tell me pray before you to too bed
But don’t let other people fool you and you become misled
My Grandmother told me the Lord is Almighty
Heaven is where he lives
It’s his blessings in what he gives
A man who don’t on the cross
The same man who conquered Death at full force
The world is in his hands
It’s divinity throughout the land
The Lord is a wonder with a behold
I am a witness and this is my story told
It’s his skies that often make me wise
His theories are no surprise
Be honest in where you stand
It’s the true heart being the caravan
Embrace one another
Encourage like no other
Lightening is stating show no fear
Thunder being the Lord’s voice that he is always near
Faith is what everyone should have
Praise the on high Savior
Worthy with an honor
Prayer that keeps me inspired
It’s the hour after hour
As daily I feel his power
Truth within my heart
Lord, take my hand and lead me to destiny
Give me understanding where knowledge waits
My life is in your daily hands
I am your servant being at your demand
My belief is my testimony
I conquered Death because you give life
My flesh doesn’t roam
I know with you I am never alone
You have given me dignity where others said I don’t
You enriched me in spirituality where others said I shouldn’t
But my testimony ranks high
It is you that help me to stride
For that reason, there is no need for me to cry
Carry me where I need to be
My testimony for all to hear and see
I am your living
Your blessings just keep giving
Your servant is here, through you, I will continue to preserver
Thank you Lord for always being near
No one else nor the Devil can compare.

Let the power of knowledge be a learning experience
Recharge with energy and continue in endurance
Then go out and use what you learned being an influence
Positive approaches with precise ideas
Word of the day to think preserver
Come out of the thought in hiding in fear
Step back from the rear and move to the front in being near
You are the words
The power is within you
You and only you are the clue
The mirror reflection shows the true image of whom you really are
It’s your ambition that will take you truly far
Stay focused with your thinking ways
What goes and what stays
It will all happen one day
Remember what you were taught
It’s not a matter of naught
It’s a matter of sought and the organization within your own thought.

A WISH UPON A WHY
preservationman Jan 2015
I looked up at the sky with my own eyes
A voice said I am high above and are am I
I wondered if there was some truth
I am older and no longer in my youth
The W was my thinking on what
The Y being illusion from yesterday
No beginning but an endless conclusion
Yet my heart is not certain
My soul doesn’t seem to be assured
My life needs detail to be explored
A moment could take an hour
My continued negative thought could end up being sour
Every honor with every story
Praise with everlasting glory
It stands with every circling hour
My why comes near
Yet I feel some astonishing fear
My mind not wanting to question
I don’t want to make a suggestion
But a continued wish in my why
With every effort there seems to be a cry
My Why is the analysis within Try
But I don’t want to get wet but stay dry
With every passing thought, I knew I have been taught
I figured it out, and it’s my understanding in a proven sought.

BOOK OF LIES

Truth having on place to be found
Falsehood is the chapter always being bound
Chapters after chapters that are never defined
Yet total conviction that’s never kind
There’s never a reason for truth to sink in
Book of lies that never bends
The Book Of Lies for people to feel like fools
Circumstances that would make anyone drool
You don’t deserve the truth
Think back on the evilness you did in your youth
It was people’s hearts you torn apart
Yet you continued your lies thinking you were clever and smart
Book of Lies was written just for you
It is for you in thinking through
Your constant lies
Come to yourself and compromise
You will find you are the surprise
Lies in turning things around
I don’t want to hear it, and don’t make a sound
Book of Lies that had its own truth
Your lies were of that proof.

FACE IN THE MIRROR
preservationman Oct 2015
A reflection that wasn’t my own
Yet my curiosity needed to be known
The face was of somebody else
It was another like no other
A face I didn’t know
But a refection with a voice in having a message
Tell others, “Inspire to be alive”
A true promise with no jive
Reflection in not having a mirror crack
The message being clear and sharp as a tack
The reflection made me realize to put all my troubles away in a stack
Later throwing them away as a permanent memory pack
True inspiration with full desire
Face in the mirror can be anybody having an outlook
For me this is all it took
You in the mirror needing a change
It’s all a matter to just rearrange
To change into improve
The heart and mind coming together in soothe
The end of anguish with nothing to prove
Mirror with a reflection, and appreciation for one’s self being the indication.

More than a dog
More than a Hound Driver’s written log

It’s my passion for the Greyhound bus
My enthusiasm that might be to some people what is the fuss
Houndman Cometh yes I have been named
But inspiration that shall remain
Houndman Cometh not a name for hounding around
It’s my personal preservation that can be found
My own destination being solid as the road
My direction being beyond flashing lights
I am Houndman Cometh and don’t need to be polite
No bones about it in approach
It’s not a speech that I spoke
My love for animals and the hound
The shout of “Houndman Cometh” being the sound
I have arrived with the appropriate name
The buddy system has taken aim
What makes Houndman Cometh unique?
The name just sounds neat.

My name was called in the distance
I stopped suddenly being an instance
I proceed to walk on
But the voice got louder and it was a command being strong
I began to tremble in my stance
But it seemed the distance voice was giving me a chance
It was the connection of the voice from the Lord
I didn’t utter a word
I listened and let the Lord be heard
It was inspiring words for me
You could see the praise for all to see
The Lord told me, “As you continue to live and see, I will always be with you guiding you through many struggles and you are my flock”
There will be people that will try to mock
I trained you well and you know how to block
Your defenses will be like a lock
A voice that was so kind and gentle
It was the humbleness of a lamb
A man so powerful
A man who is great and worthy
The same man that has given me inspiration being my own story
It’s all about praise and glory
No more too say then the end of the story.

WHY AM I HATED SO?
preservationman Jun 2017
It is because you went left and I decided to go right
Yet around me why are people so uptight?
Could it be when you cough, I yond
When you cuss I don’t respond
It is how I define and you complain
Perhaps my devotion to Christ
This is where I get my advice
A real want isn’t a need
But is how Christ helps one to proceed
Understanding is goodness
Yet lack of knowledge is being uneducated
The mirror image is what people think
The outer appearance is what people actually see
I am straight forward being my confess
My personality and stature says it best
Who thought?
Yet you didn’t bother to find out
Why should I shout?
Conclusions are your illusions
Confusion, I can’t take part
I won’t even start
Hate goes beyond what a people feels about me
But if you talk to me anyone will see
No need to figure me out
Don’t even think about a shout
I will not argue being a bout
Life is worth getting along
Togetherness in harmony where everyone belongs
So hate on
I am a person whose mind is strong
I could go on and on
But I have more achieving to do
While you are still thinking through
I said what needed to be said being due.

Let’s gather the words
My Lecture I need to be heard
Words are more than just a sentence
They can be used for reference
A story having influence be told using pointer words
Your heart has a word which pumps blood throughout your body
Words are the intellect which educate
But let me illustrate
Participation and involvement all relate
It’s movement established through the mind which communicate
Words can carry your thought and bring you to distance
The understanding in what the mile of theory would be
Yet the continuing sentences explaining the theory
Words can become deeper than any Lecture
The letters add to the adventure
As I walk around the room, I am thinking of words that would inspire you all
It’s EXCEL, INSPIRATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, OPPORTUNITY AND COMMODITY
They all connect with each other
They are spelled differently, but lead in the same direction
My lecture was such to open your eyes
You possess knowledge with understanding and words that will make you wise
This is the conclusion of Professor Knows It
All you have to do is apply the principles, and that’s all too it
But the mission is to try and experiment your self.

Having no meaning I thought
Perhaps beyond my own intellect
But was I losing my mind above all
There was a message being the call
Be who you are and nobody else
I am that image and it surrounds self
Strive while you have time to be alive
Moments can be short
Yes negative things you must abort
Yet life has its wonders
Sometimes a wake up yond into Yonders
But its what one contributes to make life more meaningful
The ability to create
However, a time not being too late

He mourned his Mother so in thinking he was alone

But the young man’s passing Mother put the breaks on in stall
The young man’s Mother was a devoted Churchgoer, she would have said, “God will always be at your side no matter what, and he will even see you through consequences when you think you are stuck”
Yes Mama has gone on home
But you stay in the Church and don’t you roam
The Church is where you need to be
God is the one too whom you need to see
“When you think you are alone, the Lord will encourage you in letting it be known”
You might think you are alone because there is no one physically there
Yet it is the feeling of quiet and no movement beyond compare
God is for all and it’s his abundant he wishes to share
As you walk and talk
As you praise and sing
The whole process is too be inspired
Alone being a short phase
But this is all of part of God’s amaze
So when you think you are alone, it will always be God in what is shown
Alone in your mind, God’s resources of everlasting combined
Always remember, God is genuine.

My Parents are unknown
I am not famous
I have no fortunes
I am often abused on these mean streets
I have no place to run to retreat

I steal to eat for food
People think I am worth nothing
I never had a husband and never knew love of a boyfriend
Thinking back with having a life I could never take back
My teats are starting to fall
Yet all people can say is poor Abigail
I don’t dwell on self-pity
Yes I am surrounded being in a big city
Perhaps I have loss my way
The fact being I have no place to stay
The alley street is my home
It has no address but that is where I roam
I am a woman in my own right
It’s survival and I am living the plight
There is often darkness and no light
Faith is all that I have
Heaven above being my inspiration
I have weary thoughts and my eyes are slowly closing to sleep
This is my own soul to keep
It’s been awhile, but for now I must say goodnight.

Whispers of love echoing in my ear
Total inspiration when you are near
Your hand in mine feeling the closeness of being among
Our eyes connect to each other to look upon
Lips with another in the enchanting kiss
Our romance feeling like a loving story book
But all it took was the look
I am your Prince and you are my Queen
We have established a bond with nothing in between
But our hearts in knowing what that means
We are the candle with a flame staying lit
Our love being strong with an everlasting fit
It’s the eternity trust
The whole idea of loving being a must
Yet our love goes beyond lust
Fulfillment being our request
For better and nothing for less
Adornment has surfaced being the absolute best
Our naked bodies have connected together like nobody else
We know what love is all about
Our caress is always a shout
Our whispers of love is spoken straight out.

Today everyone needs the gospel in order to preserver
But the gospel doesn’t stop at the bus terminal
The fact it extends into the AMC Movie Theater with church service at 11:00 am
No movies are shown where the church service is
It’s nothing but the word of God
The bible doesn’t state teachings have to be in a secrete place
The bible can even be taught in your own home
But understanding has to start somewhere
It’s the here or there
Today, it’s vital that everyone understand what god is trying to say
Sinful nature is not ok
The word of God is about accepting from one’s heart
It’s a start, but shouldn’t end
It’s an enrichment that should begin
So you thought the movie theater was about entertaining
Part of that will still remain
However, the spoken word taking aim
So the misfortunate will not be able to blame
They will have the opportunity to open their eyes and sustain understanding
All it takes is one to come to Christ
Praying and encouraging is the best advice
So Bus Terminal and AMC, you have the right idea in gospel fellowship
But it’s the gospel and nothing but the gospel being the tip.

PEPPER AND SALT CHAPTER
preservationman Jul 2016
Shades of a different color
Yet you don’t want to communicate
Because of color, you don’t want to even relate
The above skies spell fate
However, we all were put on this Earth to associate
This setting being what formed years ago called create
But Race is becoming a strong factor
One man with courage in being great and powerful wanted to make all of us change
It was Dr. Martin Luther King who wanted separation not remain
Yet as individuals we constantly complain
Freedom the outer world wants to change
But what happened when one opens their mouth?
Yes it all started in the Deep South
A world can’t live on Bread alone
It’s fellowship being togetherness and I am letting it be known
This just makes plain sense
However, the past is the past and I am keeping it in the present tense
Slavery is where Race all came in
It became a trend that continues today being a begin
Why is separation so important?
Why can’t be come together as friends not enemies?
Do we have to be foes?
The country is running on overdrive woes
The decree of freedom is exactly in what is says
Skin tone should be left alone
It is not necessary in letting it be known
Race hasn’t done you No wrong
But when you think of Pepper and Salt, an ingredient adding flavor
We should be just like Pepper and Salt and coming together being savor
Honestly, that is our true example of how all races should come together
We all are different from each other
But it is about friendship being to one another
America and the world, are you listening?
We must not break away, but have understanding every day.

CLOSED DOOR LOVE
preservationman Aug 2016
I mentioned love in our discussion
It became a subject to avoid
I told you the inner feeling I had
It was your frustration in being mad
But the whole communication made me sad
Love is supposed to be a romantic word
Relationships together in wanting to be heard
I am truly in Love
I want the feeling of interlude being everything to think of
I thought when I told you I was in love, you would be glad
However, there was mad and being sad
Love will be a subject I will never discuss with you
In fact, I am just through
I ways thought, it was time to move on
My eyes have been opened, and I see a new dawn.

BIBLICAL MOMENT
Eye on Scriptures
Concentration on words
Expanded Spiritual knowledge
Dialog in superior
Wonders of the mind
Beyond the world
Personal experiences
Heaven’s influences
Darkness turned to light
One’s walk shinning bright
Approaches with defense
Devil’s defeat
From loss to found
The Cross bow down
The stand and be strong
Spread the word
Let your encouraging voice be heard
Rise and Praise

A POET’S DIARY
preservationman Apr 2017
My mind says write
My thoughts illustrate am I right?
A Poet must have a concept
But also adapt
Words can have a rhyme
It can also have possibilities
Adjectives into verbs
The right combination being like an herb
But the specific Poet’s story had an angle, and it went like this
Tension was pressures on my heart
My mind being like a violet storm
Echoes upon echoes of many voices
Yet my senses alert alarm after alarm
A rocky avalanche occurs
But one is right in the middle of the situation
One’s life could end in that split second
Reckons calls
Pray on the knees in fall
Oh Lord I am in a plight
Possible darkness with transcending light
My soul will go up to thee
I am asking spare my life
Suddenly the avalanche passes over
One praying soul survives
This was a Poet’s story encounter
But it makes one really wonder
The Poet was destined to write
But if one has Faith and truly believe
Writing with confident will help relieve
A Poet must have the idea to always perceive.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT
preservationman Oct 2017
I knew I could
But wasn’t sure if I should
I thought I might
Understanding confirms the definite
But there was a question, but I had no answer
In the mind I thought I might
Observations in seeing things as they are sometimes distance far sight
But I seem to be taking the statement light
No assurance in I thought I might
My whenever becomes sometimes
A drink could be any kind of wine
A moment to start and completion being my end
The time to convince surrounding my I thought I might
Reasoning illustrating my own clarification
Schooling is the surface being education
My facts having indication
I have been stating I thought I might
Perhaps I am taking it just a little too light
Then again, maybe I am just being too polite
After really thinking, what I have established has become what I have accomplished that was all along in plain sight.

When people ask a favor when they are in need
They continue on and your are expected to proceed
Later the favor becomes do a good deed
But the outcome the person is freed
However, no thank you nor what did you think comes up
One does get tired being used
But the other people has no understanding and is confused
It will become a time when one must refuse
There will be a time to charge
Like it or not
When someone does something, it comes from the heart
It’s the goodness of that person
A stranger to one’s eye
It’s wisdom that makes one wise
It’s having understanding in advance
The person was caught by the other person by chance
If you run into this
Don’t let yourself be the loser in dis
Talent is a God given right
Respectful is being polite
Have a different approach go round
Watch as you won’t hear an appreciating sound.

HOUNDMAN COMETH

This was a nickname Greyhound Bus Lines gave me
I take honor and pride
It’s the inspiration behind the Greyhound ride
Houndman Cometh means at Greyhound I have arrived
Houndman Cometh and Greyhound both being a loyal connection
The Greyhound Bus name an appreciation

A search for resolutions
Drawing not to own conclusions
A test of one’s Faith
Struggles that can be many
Possibilities in opening the prayer door
Salvation where one must explore
In the Movie Theatre during the screen showing, I found myself lifting up my own praise
The illustration of God’s miracle, I found myself thinking about what I overcame being what would had been my own Death with nothing but amaze
I poured out my praise with tears
However, it was pure joy having no fears
My thought during the movie in Jesus being the Great I am
Hope in believing
The Holy Scriptures in relieving
Temptation being nothing more than deceiving
Deceptive having God’s receptive
Heaven being a worthy place
Everlasting in eternal being the trace
The journey on wearing full God’s armor on
The Question of Faith
Embracing of God’s love
Follow me, and you will find peace
Follow me, and you will find rest
However, in salvation there is always a test
The Lord being the miracle maker
Hallelujah, and again Hallelujah
Doubt having no place in Heaven’s place
Question of Faith
Answer being established with the Lord
Faith Assurance throughout being under God’s accord
This is all brought to you by in thank you from our Lord.

THAT SUNDAY MORNING LIFT
preservationman Aug 2017
7:30 am Worship  Service at  New Jerusalem Worship Center
It was song and praise
Jesus name and the Holy Spirit amaze
We had a Guest Minister to preach
The shout of Jesus and Hallelujah was my soul in reach
I had tears running down my eyes and praising in the Lord’s name
The service was preaching throughout
With me, it was Jesus loud with a shout
But the Guest Minister’s sermon was strictly for me
Earlier in the week, I had been putting myself down
I was talking to a friend of mine about some positive things that involve my God given talent
But throughout the conversation, I was putting myself in being less in potential
However, my friend reinforced that I have God given talent that is essential
I was asked to be a Keynote Speaker at a CIO Conference in Los Angeles in December
I turned them down as I felt I was worthy of the subject
A sermon was prepared to inspire me, and the Lord said, “HAVE I GOT A SERMON FOR YOU”
As the Guest Minister was preaching with Holy words
Praises to Jesus could be heard
Your truly was under the spirit, and I was definitely calling out the name of Jesus
The person I was sitting next my praise and saw my tears being total praise
I hugged the other church member with spiritual joy in my heart
New Jerusalem Worship Center spirit I will never forget
But it is the Holy Ghost that I need to get
New Jerusalem Worship Center is a church about Faith
Blessings full of praise
Ongoing and Continual amazes
Joy in the morning
Inspiration from heaven for all too see.

A SLAVE’S FORGOTTEN POEM
preservationman Mar 2017
My sunrise is morning to be whipped
It’s the hot sun in cotton picking on the plantation
The Master forces you to give him information
My thought of Freedom being a proclamation
I can’t even express my own explanation
I pray oh Lord
I am your faithful following in accord
Oh those beaten days
The long seemingly days
The Master continues to beckons
I pray to the Lord that he changes his ways
Being a slave certainly can’t stay
Beaten paths
Escape to where and how?
One day just one day
Freedom will reign
I may not be alive to see
But my Soul will know in everything Freedom should be
A Slave’s eyes see distance beyond any mortal’s demise, but wisdom and understanding keeps our focus in remaining wise.

BENEATH EVERY BROKEN HEART
preservationman Sep 2017
Every broken heart there is a tomorrow
Every tear comes with sorrow
Yet a band aid can’t heal the broken heart
Healing begins with the morning sunrise
Then follows the blessings beyond anyone’s surprise
Assurance in knowing who holds the praying hands
Tears may flow
But don’t ever let go
Let me share a story with you
My heart was broken when I loss a good friend
I asked myself would my broken spirit mend
I prayed later and the Lord affirmed me I can
It is just a matter of when
The sun is up
That’s the hope in never get fed up
A broken heart is only temporary
Tears will be flowing, but is it the joy in knowing
My broken heart having no quick fix
However it is Faith that will stick
Tomorrow with advice on morrow
Tears only last while
Heaven being the rainbow of the everlasting idle
A broken heart will mend, but continued ongoing Faith is the key of when.

Praises upon praises
Amazes until eternity
My voice being many voices and tongues
A time to give thanks
Blessings many
Rejoice and be glad
I am a witness when I felt alone
Didn’t know about holiness, but a hand extended out and said I am among
From that time on, the Lord has always been number one
His Death and he has risen
Victory for me in knowing I can conquer all things
I feel assured and honored
The Devil can’t have my joy nor praise
The Hallelujah is my amaze
I am guided by Faith
The Devil is the closed book
I don’t even want to look
Flee from me Demon
You are your own sour lemon
I am not your to have
Goodness and mercy surrounds me
The clouds parallel in the sky for all to see
My eyes on thy
Tomorrow’s cry
It’s living being a daily try
Forgive me for my response to the world
My thoughts are not your thoughts
I have been redeemed, and I am glad
I know that makes the Devil just mad
But to know the Lord makes me glad.

BUS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE
preservationman Nov 2017
It was a trip on Greyhound with destination being Minneapolis, Minnesota
Well that is one ordah
Now I am travelling during a winter snowstorm
I am sure you know how that feels like
But I will keep it simple and polite
However, this trip is not going to be any different than any other winter trip
But I don’t have any tip
But I am on Greyhound and I am in the smack of a snowstorm
This is winter and the norm
But we are on Highway 88, and the road is blinding
You can barely see in the front, and don’t even think about looking back
It was bad just like that
The Greyhound Driver carefully maneuvers the bus, but we become stuck that involves cars, trucks, and us
Now the bus wasn’t a must
But I am on a Greyhound bus but can’t fuss
However, when the Greyhound Driver announced we can’t move anymore, boy did some of the passengers cuss
But the snow steadily coming down along with ice since we were in the middle of a snowstorm
Conditions and attitudes apply
We were stuck with no movement
Snowstorm having no improvement
Highway 88 became a wait
I won’t travel like this again will be another date
I will be arriving a couple days late
Well we have been on this Greyhound bus for two days
This bus became our hotel stay
The third day arrived, and we were finally on our way
After all, Greyhound’s slogan does say, “Leave The Driving to Us”
Passengers can cuss and fuss
But that was my accord that involved us.

It was a visit to the National Museum of Afro American History and Culture
The date was November 12, 2016
The memory of the past that will last
As the time moved into present time that came fast
There were strides that Afro Americans made
Yet we are far from being in the shade
Funny names but one particular one being Adelaide
Music that had a start
Slavery in how it played its part
Civil Rights now that was a marching fight
It was a Stop and Go with Justice not seeing the light
Unrest and Unjust with the feeling being uptight
Yet multitudes mobilized with might
Dance being a creative move
Relaxation and smooth coming together with soothe
There was everything to prove
Years rolled on in “Break those chains”
Racial boundaries could no longer remain
Educate the mind and read a book for understanding
In God we trust
Having Faith had to be a must
The hour of darkness with the plan to escape
It meant be careful but not acting like an Ape
A President Obama film clip, “This is President Obama as I’m Out”
Strides over the years
This is how we all survived in moving forward being preserver
Accomplishments of the past being our floor plan for inspiration
However encouragement and not to tire
Past history in what everyone needed to know
It was more than a presentation of show
Pick yourself up and go
However that was the flow
Yet the National Museum wanted to state, “Now you know”.

THANK YOU LORD

Each day you carry me every step of the way
It’s the Holy Spirit from the many sermons and encouragement in what they say
At times, it seems I fall and seem to go astray
But through your many mercies, your patience is don’t worry as its ok
Yet you take my hand and lead me on
However, I am in church where I belong
Your inner spirit continues to keep me strong
I once was at near death
It seemed my timing had nothing left
My hope of survival became a big question
But through my devoted praying Grandmother, you had the answer as a solution
“You will walk with me for the whole world to see, and your testimony will tell of your miracle bestowed unto you. Your words of accomplishment will be your blessing as an reward”.
I just want to say, “Thank you Lord”
I praise you in all the highest
You have made me whole
Your spirit has captured my soul
Your wonders illustrate behold
Once again, “Thank you Lord”
You have me in Heaven’s eyes
As I continue to walk in your light, I will achieve an even better understanding and the theory in being wise.

The Tornado is parallel bound
Winds blowing in the distance being the sound
Evacuate your homes immediately, and head for your underground storm shelters
There is not a minute to spare
This Tornado is not like any other that compare
It’s a double Tornado in size with both being smashing mates
Move swiftly before it is too late
The Tornado has hit Quakerville
Yet it’s moving fast still
Electrical power is totally knocked out
There are reports of Death and injuries here and about
Good luck to you all in your efforts to survive
It’s a matter in finding a place to hide.

ROLL AWAY BED
preservationman Oct 2016
I had to be at the mercy of that Roll Away Bed
Well it was a story of turn from side to side
I wasn’t certain as to where I would preside
It seemed that the Roll Away Bed wanted to dance
However, I wanted to sleep at every chance
But it became a rolling night
Yet for me, it became a plight
But when morning came, I was happy full of delight
That Rolling Away Bed took me on a journey beyond my request
My thought at the time was this is not better or less
However I must confess
So Roll Away Bed in what did I learn?
Be careful at every inch in how I turn
Make sure wheels are locked
Roll Away Bed might be on the go so don’t block
This was my own truth and consequence
That rolling movement I will never forget
The actual bed I will not complain nor regret
Don’t ask me to take a bet
Well my mind is all set
So let me roll out
This is not the moment I need to shout.
