A MIRACLE OF THE POET
preservationman Aug 2017
Mystery of words the Poet had
The thought coming from a young lad
The lad who always wanted to write
Yet he didn’t try because he thought being a Poet might be a plight
Unknowingly to the young lad
He wrote a poem, but didn’t know what to expect
In fact, the young lad thought his poem was going to be a reject
So the Poet took the poem to school
When the poem was read, his classmates and Teacher all drooled
There was magic in those words
Every sentence was a signal to be heard
A voice is truly a voice, but it is only when inspiration comes out
Writing shouldn’t be a chore, but your mind concentrating with observing within explore
Those few lines were like hypnosis and put everyone into a writing trance
This was opportunity being a chance
Classmates, Friends and many others caused people to start writing poetry
The power of the mind
The fundamental being the concept
Ideas coming together ready to adapt
So you haven’t written yet
Make time for a poetry write
Influence people being inspiration being poetry excite
Just imagine you in the center spotlight
Poetry going beyond having pure encouragement being Explore and just watch your ideas as they just soar.

TURKEY SPLIT
preservationman Nov 2024
Year after year
Thanksgiving feast preserver
The Pilgrims started this Thanksgiving thing
All we Turkey’s get is the Ax sling
Slaughtered until lifeless
We live once at least
We the Turkeys have a force
It’s a shame it is the knife and fork
The Pilgrims are satisfied
Turkeys are petrified
We never see eye to eye
We Turkeys can’t even try, but cry
Turkey farms everywhere beware
We intend to revolt
A win or loss protest
Eating Turkey on Thanksgiving we must refuse
The battle is on
Life is where we belong
Being free in every way
Dinner tables shouldn’t be our stay
We need to getaway
That Ax is always in our direction
Main course being the selection
Every year the same question, “Dark or light meat or the wing”
As a Turkey, Thanksgiving is not our thing
We have no protection and no chance of a wing.

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.

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.

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.

Unrest spirit
Revenge
The skies opened up like a fiery hell
The Evil Witch
The unfold is being told in tell
The Witch could no longer cast spells
Her evilness suddenly fell
The witch vowed to pass wrath on the world
Good Witch overtook the Evil Witch in swirl
Be gone Evil Witch
Your powers no longer work here
The community finally has freedom from your unity
The citizens over you no pity
Salem wants you back where you belong
You are a mere mortal
The mind having no desire
Into the fire
You will be chained forever
Never to invade again
Be gone Evil Witch
Eternity will be your everlasting
Burn Burn Burn Evil Witch
The bell rings for your endless Soul
The Evil Witch is dead to never show her angry face
Your flesh is now ash
No Tombstone nor grave
You are punished because you didn’t behave
The Witches ashes drift to the Heaven’s above
Safe keeping to think of
Gone forever with no lifetime

WORD TRAP
preservationman Apr 2023
Not Tick Tack Toe
Not even a Crossword Puzzle you know
I am trapped in a word maze
Trying to find my way out
This will not be a snap
I wish I had my thinking cap
I am confused like a mouse
I feel like I am in a haunted house
Everywhere a detour
In is where it all begins and with exit
Did I mention I am in the dark with no light?
This is what I call a plight
Words block every path
Direction having no find
This word trap is certainly not kind
No getaway nor trap door
I know that for sure
Escape will not be easy
Perhaps there is escape
A motto keeps popping into my head, “Seek and you shall find”
Easier said than done
Trapped like a fly
This is definitely going to take awhile
Word trap has its own style
What will I do now while?

STANDING UP TO THE TEST
preservationman Sep 2016
I long for this moment
My tears overflow
I am focusing on despite and agonizing struggles
My dreams nothing more than nightmares
I see no reason to preserver
Choices have been ruled out
It’s like I am having boxing bout
Decisions are only final conclusions
Life puts people to the test for them to figure out
But all I want is a chance
A given right to prove myself
I don’t need a Judge and Jury
It certainly doesn’t come down to being a theory
No chapter in a book sustains my mystery
Chance
That is the key word
Now you have heard
Don’t look down on me
I need no microscope for all to see
I don’t need pity
I have a personality that makes me witty
An opportunity becomes a chance
Yet unbelievers want to prance
This is at every chance
Chances to be taken away
Yet it won’t happen on this day
Chance in my eyes is analyzing in creating the surprise, but thinking in knowing how to stay wise.

WITHIN THE DARKENED ALLEY
preservationman Apr 2017
Trapped like a mouse
But this is not about a house
Cornered in a alley with no way out
Darkened as the night where no one will hear any shout
I ran but have no pace
Escaping being like a race
Followed by Thugs
They all had rough looking mugs
I was weak and meek
The Thugs were strong being at their peak
I didn’t have much money on me
The thugs surrounded me, but their faces I couldn’t see
They pulled out a Gun and Knife
I knew this could be the end of my life
Surely, there was no way out
I had to be clever and think
Otherwise, I will be like a sunken ship and sink
I tried to reason with the Thugs
I was outnumbered and didn’t win
I just knew I came to my end
A knife was put towards my stomach
Just when the **** was ready to stab, Police cars came with their bright lights
I no longer had the feeling of being uptight
I am alive and that is something to praise in excite
Now I can sleep and Good Night.

Words beyond your wildest imaginations in what we as Poet’s can create

The ingredients having the aroma that attracts the senses
Any Poet’s words steam our from any ***
Yet we always have a dialog seemingly like a plot
It’s our have and never not
So reader, come along and join the many waves of Poet’s
Words that could very well be your own
But we will never know unless you like it be known
However as Poet’s, we are worth being full blown
Look and read in future writings in seeing how our sentences take off, and how the breeze of words will take your breath away.

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

Ship to shore
The high seas to explore

A bird on the deck being a wood peck
The Poet writes, “I am aboard the S.S. Poetry Enterprise. It’s my poetry composition having a realize. It is the ship cruising the ocean, and the ship’s horn is letting all other ships know it”.
I feel relaxed and laid back
No job to think about, how about that?
As a Poet, I am taking this vacation to just write
Taking in all the sights
My emotions are full of fun
This is a seven days cruise, and I am far from done
By the time my journey’s end, I would have written several poetry pieces
The words would go like this
An ocean that goes beyond the miles
Thinking on many words during while
In my hand is my cup of thought
In my mind is a concept sought
Words don’t conclude my life, but extend it
Writing is a pure gift
A commodity being an inspired thrift
What makes the Poet’s get away special?
It’s the cruise giving the Poet open expression being essential
The ocean refreshes the words needing to be said
The confidence being the instead
Well I will be cruising several more days

BUS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE

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.

Efforts in sacrifice that might make you cry

What was a thought in being a big climb, you made it too the top of the hill
You actually didn’t think how the will

You left others wondering with a ponder

My purpose was and still is today
However, my internal and extending into external in stay
Sometimes you would find me writing even by the Bay
I never thought or dreams of ever being a Poet
I just started writing with positive encouragement, and the writing then followed
Pass Legends like Benjamin Franklin and Langston Hughes being my inspiration to write
Gave me mission to write and continue writing
My thoughts that were hidden stories locked in my mind
Yet a voice from within unlock and let your words come out
But friends were also my encouragement, as they stated I have a lot to tell about
My tomorrow simply arrived at the precise moment
Seconds came and it was a reckon expectation
However, I learned too make my writing a appreciation
It was write while you can
Then keep writing until then
But who would have thought?
Writing was a wonder to my eyes
Yet to the reader, what a surprise
Realization at it’s best
My own experiences that only I can confess
My dramatization being participation
My amazement being nothing up my sleeve
But confident in writing that one can achieve
Yet my own sentences sending a message like a refreshing breeze
Oh I just feel simply at ease
So now you know
I am my own Poet Legend, but not trying to make a show
I am only wanted to put you in the know
But I didn’t want to do a quick acceleration, but take it slow
Pass Legend Poets you, but wanted to be added to list
In other words, I wanted this to be a new twist
Writing seriously is totally from the mind
Yet be simple and kind
Reach out and write
Encourage others but with the plight
That describes me in plain sight
Oh the words and sentences that came out
I encourage too write on
But being a Poet, I know where I belong.

Well right after, the Elves got busy again
There’s no time thinking when, can if and then
Production prevails and we must set sail

Christmas morning will be every child’s delight
Well there you have it where Christmas almost wasn’t going to be
There is no answer to that, but the world did see
Yet too the world, Santa travelled well hidden and beyond any observation electronic
Then it’s the journey back where Christmas always began

Guidance coming from a higher mountain being perfection
I need my cries to dry up
I need fulfillment to fill my cup

You felt salvation would be a shame
Having salvation is a Heavenly prize
This is something the world must realize
The wonders can open your eyes

You are simply drowning in your own sorrow
The hills make you strong
God’s solid foundation is where you belong
The faith of one’s belief
Having God’s mercy oh what a relief
God shall call again
The Heavenly voice for your salvation to begin
But because of your doubting questions you have no idea of when
God’s voice speaking directly at your heart

This is an open invitation to make your mark
Heaven awaits and remember your fate

Heather Heyer
You will be missed
Your heroine efforts to fight what’s right
There was a darkness that surrounded you
But you were determined to be guided by God’s light
Your name and face will always be a vision of sight
It was your courage being determined with might
You felt racial barriers had no place in life
Protest from radical groups just didn’t understand
It was turmoil and over throw in their demand
But the Radical groups focusing on their own analysis and agenda
Yet Heather Heyer, you were distinguished being your involvement to accomplish
However your achievement was satisfied by Heaven
You may have died in the flesh
As Heather’s Mother put in, “You made my daughter magnified”
Your soul expels throughout  the Earth
Your commitment has given us an enriched new birth
We have become devoted with a wake up call in believing there is still hope
It’s about coming together and cope
We are all one breed
But White Supremacy cannot continue in terror in proceed
The theme having a purpose is “TOGETHERNESS ONE ON ONE RELATIONS”
Thank you Heather for that reminder
My praying hands raises to you
We need to finish what you started until through.

GREYHOUND BUS TURKEY CHOIR
preservationman Nov 2023
We have a reason to sing
We are doing our thing
Turkey dash
Oven free
We are traveling carefree
How noble and superior
We don’t have inferior
Turkey’s everywhere asked Greyhound to help them escape
We are not moving like an ape
Destinations doesn’t matter
We have cut down all the chatter
Away from any knife and fork
Dinner tables try eating pork
This is a Turkey getaway
That Ax is not coming nowhere near our way
The Greyhound bus is forever our friend
From beginning to end
Greyhound Bus Turkey wheels in keep on rolling
Passing dinner tables by
Our distances are far
We don’t need a car
Turkey eating a turnoff
Sunrise to Sunset
Turkeys are saying, “We have pushed away in a determined getaway”
We will not be considered Turkey Day
We don’t care what anybody says
Turkey out

I CRIED TO THE SKY
preservationman May 2015
Depression had set in
My struggles seemed like it was the end
My desperation tears poured like a fountain
It seemed I was in the valley and not on the mountain
As I prayed, my words became a Heaven relay
I was sincere from my heart
Suddenly a voice powerful as thunder spoke, “I am the living son and you are my servant being among”
Life will have boundaries once and awhile
But you must be able to adapt being the daily style
Troubles come and go
But hold on, and continue to follow salvation being the praising flow
I am the spirit that transcends in
It’s a new beginning that has truly began
The wonder of your praise
The Heavenly one that will continue to amaze
Your cries will become less flowing
Now rise up from your knees, and get going
Your soul in the right hands and place
The Devil will try to erase
But I am at your defense and the Devil will be pass tense
Your spirit is among and this is something that will always be upon.

OFFLINE
preservationman Oct 2017
Las Vegas being a gambling place
Vacation being full of fun being the trace
The climate having the warmth for perfect getaways
All hotels having excellent room stays
But there is another relay
It is about a shooter on went on a rampage
He was so full of rage
Ammunition having ready aim fire
But the killings don’t seem to tire
I don’t see an even expire
Numerous lives loss in cold blood
The shooter having an evil mind for human killings like an overflowing flood
Families tormented with loss loved ones shattered like broken glass
This is a like a movie where shooters wear a mask
The incident happened all so fast
Prayers should be going out to the families
The shooter being controlled by the Devil
Evil of the criminal mind
The split second having no time to respond
It feels like a dream waking up from a yond
Yet the nation must look on in as actual reality to look upon
Life having no remorse
It is a fact
Of course of course

MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER
preservationman Oct 2019
We have Pork Chops that are tender
They are cut just right being slim and slender
Mash Potatoes I would recommend
Our seasoning is done in a special blend
Vegetables straight from the Farmer’s Market
Freshness you can depend
Our assortments of desserts stretch to no end
We don’t stop there
We have a new dessert called, “Multitude Galore”
It has various nuts, cream and little extras
But it is the flavor
Alcoholic and Soft Drinks to ignite your mouth
We have a new Alcoholic drink called “Southern Belle” capturing the South
But I have already said too much, let me shut my mouth
Thank you for coming to “Eating Delight”
Now you know our menu is out of sight.

MATCHMAKING COMMUTE
preservationman Jan 2024
Man meets Woman
Saw each other as just another commuter
Average straphangers
They weren’t expecting romance
Subway ride through the love tunnel
Suddenly a change of pace
Rush hour minute
Usual crowd
As the Man and Woman were pinned together on a crowded subway train
This is where the subway romance began to build up
Eye to Eye facing each other
The man kiss to the woman
Love came front and center target
The romance of two
They dated for months and three years
They were now Husband and Wife
The daily subway ride had made the romance rise
No surprise
Transit hub match

OH THAT SNORING AGAIN
preservationman Jun 2020
Every night I try to sleep
I find myself counting sheep
My Husband’s snoring is driving me nuts
I know the Neighbors can hear as the windows aren’t shut
I am hoping for a miracle of silence
Well in the meantime, let me read a book
Wouldn’t you know it, the book is titled, “Don’t let Snoring keep you up”?
Who wrote this book, Rip Van Winkle?
But then again, perhaps I should do the up close approach to my Husband’s snoring, let me get a hammer, and tell him its hammer time
Who am I fooling?
Even the hammer wouldn’t work
I thought of putting a pillow over my Husband’s entire head leading to the mouth
But that would probably cause my Husband in thinking ******
I don’t need to be on “****** She Wrote”
My only request is, let me sleep for goodness sake
That snoring I can’t take
Suddenly for the moment the snoring grows silent
Now I can finally sleep
My Husband said good morning and woke me up
No I don’t need Folgers in my cup
Well it is AM
Work you know
Have a good day got too go

EERIE IN THE HOUSE
preservationman Jun 2017
Sleeping peacefully
But how long will that last?
Time moves with the moon and changing skies
Thinking intellect, but being wise
A noise churns outdoors
But suddenly there was a noise on the living room floors
I dashed carefully downstairs
I moved ever so clever through the darkness giving stares
I had a club in my hand
Ready to attack at my command
A soulful voice appeared in a ghostly manner
The Ghost said to me, he once lived in the house
It was he and his spouse
The Ghost was Warren Stellar who was quite a tall fella
Ghost Warren Stellar told me to get out
All I could do was yell and shout
I ran as far from the house as I could
I had no thought on my mind if I should
I knew I couldn’t stand where I stood
I did in fact go back
But communicating with Ghost Warren will take some tack
I was able to reason with the Ghost, and my house I could surely continue to boost.

WISH WRITER
preservationman Apr 2016
The possibilities within dreams
The emotions moving like streams
A capture to someone’s heart
The offer of hope
Struggle bearing, but with encouragement to cope
Through believing, there’s survival
Eyes of the sunshine, there will be light
The beauty of vision having outgoing sight
The thought, “Throughout any illness struggle, have a smile during while, as intervention being God’s style”
The inspiration captivating
A comfort being sustaining
Breath being the new tomorrow
Having morrow, but don't stay in sorrow
Spread the good news of the new day
Your hand lifted up to glory all the way
A wish writer having a reason to write
Hope in any situation
Celebration being any occasion
One wish being a skies kiss
Heavens look down being no miss
Wish high and well
Your testimony will surely tell.

TIME IN THE HORIZON
preservationman Feb 2017
A moment to think
All it takes is a wink
Seconds have passed even with the blink
Precision having a rush
Chatter that won’t hush
Eating breakfast that might taste like mush
Yet time with a purpose
Long and short hands being the quartz of a clock and watch
It’s the AM call with mass transit to catch
A rush having no time to pray
The forgotten mode that has gone astray
Time being acceleration in life on Earth
The seconds of a new living birth
It’s all a matter within timing
Knowing how much of valued time you have
Time with a message in “Use it wisely”
But the most important time is giving some time to Christ
He is the Holy one that gives sound advice
It’s his understanding bringing together wisdom and wise
As time revolves, there might be even a happy surprise
Time is controlled by the Holy One being his own acceleration
Time is about living and having appreciation
Time can be precious to some
Then there’s others where the value of time having none
The clock moves in accordance with the seconds in the hour
Time can also put termination being an expire
Time is simply surrounded with so much power
No time to keep up
Time precision zinc
It doesn’t matter what you and I think
The best of times and even the bad
The revolving time, but through the open door you should keep in mind.

BREEZY POINT
The wind felt
Catching one off guard
Sometimes refresh
Other times bad and good
The wave backward and forward of trees
The view of the ocean as the waves maneuver
Breezes front and center
Embrace
North to South
East to West
Breezes with their own confess
Outward blow
Some fast and suddenly slow
One never knows
Handy work Heaven
Breezy Point
Breathing in and out
The breeze moving about.
preservationman Mar 2018
You continued to smoke
You thought God was a total joke
Yet you continued to drink
But when it came to God you didn’t know what to think
Yet God called you several times
But you disconnected your mind and you remained living in evil
You continue to walk in darkness
Yet light is what helps one see
However, you legs wimble because you are unable to stand
Remember Earth is god’s creation being the solid land
God is spiritual and the Heavenly Man
Hell is not a place where you can use a fan
The Devil lives there being the Evil Man
Not a sentence with just and
God will continue to call
This establishes for all
So the mission being in don’t stall
So where were you when God called?
You will eventually have to answer
The moment is now
Your thought of Heaven should be Oh Wow!

POETRY PRAISE
preservationman Oct 2015
Earth look above
The atmosphere is moving in the sky to think of
Jesus is soon to come
The Earth will be among
Your flesh you think is all you got left
Your soul is what God would call
It’s the Lord that never ever let you fall
The hour is moving
The merciful God is ever so soothing
He doesn’t want your soul to perish
You are his servant being distinguished
The Devil wants your life to end
But with Jesus Christ, you will have a rewarding begin
The Devil’s aim is for you to be in his court to remain
He also wants you to point your finger at Heaven
The Devil is just mad because with blessings from Christ, he can’t get your soul
Jesus is about observe and behold
He conquers all
He also picks you up when you fall
When you pray, he is the one to call
All you have to do is dial “Pray Until”
Honest prayer and God will
Be steadfast, but yet remain still
These are God’s encouraging words
Opened ears and I hope you heard
Now go now and spread the word.

FOLLOW ME TOO THE KINGDOM
preservationman Oct 2017
Follow me too the kingdom
Are you ready to go?
You can’t be slow
Just go with the Heavenly flow
But if you want to get to the kingdom there are provisions
Seeking salvation in knowing you need to be born again
Praying Continuously
Follow God’s word and reading scriptures
Witnessing for Christ to others in Christ’s honor
But before you follow me
You must remember, Heaven is a place you can’t get to by Car, Train, Air, Walk nor bus
It’s pure salvation that surrounds us
But there must not be any fuss
You must have Faith
Believe and no doubt
Confessing one is a Sinner
Only then accepting salvation one has permission in Heaven’s enter
But you must keep the Faith while you are on Earth
You must value salvation for all it’s worth
Take full in God’s word
Witness to God’s people in letting his goodness and mercy being heard
Heaven bound having preparation
Your testimony being participation
Spreading the gospel in illustration
Now that you know, are you ready to follow me too the Kingdom
No need to pack bags
But Heaven and salvation is a made up mind but don’t drag
Your mind should be all made up
Yet you should pray Lord always fill up my spiritual cup
But seek Heaven with your true heart and just be caught up.

On some given days you would see “Speed” on the move
It was New York City justice too prove
A criminal chase would often make citizens think that that were seeing a movie
It might sound groovy
But it was the real NYPD thing
A car chase would often make anybody think if they are witnessing a race
“Speed” was just that fast
The remembrance will certainly last
Moving with urgency
Crime with Justice on Speed’s mind
Jail time for criminals combined
If you Rob, Steal or Mug justice in NYPD policy
But then again, justice is faced in major cities across the United States
But this is a retirement send off for a Horse named “Speed”
As you retire, I will always think on establishment in proceed
However, a NYPD battle against crime, there is a message when you were in need
Assurance being in your own right
Everyone could see it in plain sight
After all, I have respect and you deserve that as I am polite
You deserve the spotlight
You were more than a horse of course
You were are a Policemen’s friend
The public showed you love all within
Yet with pride and dignity you showed honor in knowing you took part in Justice being can
As you retire, there is a certain inspire
But don’t ever tire
You leave behind other horses in following your lead
Don’t be surprised if Mr. Ed calls you in need
The NYPD will miss that Policemen street moving ride
But it was the citizen’s protection that you need provide
It was saddle up
Let your gallop be a cast in the wind
Your retirement is not a good-bye but until then
“Speed”, continue to ride on
Your sundown is your inspiration that you spread around
Now you can settle down and relaxation will be your sound
Gallop Gallop one last time
Retirement is your reward, and I honor you with a silver sword.

STRONG BONDING
preservationman Mar 2018
It’s not a competition in who can stand
There is no demand comprising command
It’s about having a strong character attribute
It’s life in how one contributes
Knowing how to express one’s voice in a precise matter
Surviving above all negativity
Moving within prosperity
A man and woman being in a relationship of understanding
The focus centering sustaining
Having no override
Total control of both within drive
It’s not about who has the muscle
It’s also not about a hustle
Seeing survival as a way of life
Responsibility in a learning experience without any advice
Both parties can’t have a mind weak
Both parties can’t possess the thinking of retreat
Living is daily week to week
Both parties being strong and remaining full charged
It’s not about leadership in being large
Fully loaded with inner fuel to endure life’s continuation
Pardon here as that is the indication
But it becomes a lesson of tribulation
Value coming from the heart
Morality with no excuses
Exchanging ideas together with no refusal
Strong in will and personality
But knowing how to function sociality
Strong in self-respect
Knowing how to live in what one would expect
A sense of purpose in why one would reject
But might be a subject of define
However nothing needs to be spelled out
Both parties strong in being mighty has its own about
A strong man and woman take your appropriate place
This is no time to outdo being a waste
Being strong totally in the mind
But for education purposes, please keep that in mine.
