MIDNIGHT PRAYER
preservationman Jun 2016
A circle was made all around
Praises became the sound
Lord on high please hear our cry
The world is in turmoil
Oh our soul
We need our spirits uplifted
We know of Heavens daily watch
The Holy Spirit being our catch
The Devil is trying to take Earth’s whole
But we know your power that is behold
There are numerous souls that you need to seek
But let us repeat
The world is thinking on defeat
We need your blessings and enriched Faith
We don’t have any doubt
Our prayer is being a praising shout
Your word is crystal clear
You are merciful, and we have no fear
It’s your everyday guidance that is always near
Hear our voices
We need your power
Ongoing being every hour
Build a fence around us to protect
The Evil to keep out and the Devil to reject
This we ask Lord tonight
Help us overcome the struggles in the world’s plight
Please keep us under your blood and guiding light
Help us not to always be uptight
Watch over
Take us from when to can
Amen at the end.

TO LOVE OR NOT
preservationman Feb 2017
My heart says extend love
Yet my mind says hold out
Somewhere love is not really sure
A woman who I am attracted says put on the brakes on explore
I don’t know if she has a beau
But right not I am thinking “Although”
Love has no written lines
However that is just fine
I will come up with my own love caring lines
My love as you stood right there
I felt your heart beat and kisses in the air
Roses are, but I am not blue
My eyes just can’t stay away from you
Love is definitely in the horizon
But do you have a beau?
If so
I will pursue slow
I am not one to break up a relationship
I also don’t want what I feel to slip
Valentine’s Day is about being attracted and being loved
It’s written in the skies
But that is no surprise
The aroma of flowers attracting the senses and a thought of wise
Love or not, but it sounds more like a plot
Extending one’s hand with a kiss being a commitment in the actual
My heart in needing love and everything to think of.

Some dreams can take affect
While others might to reject
In any event, dreams can become the actual
Yet be nothing unusual
A little boy would often dream of Driving a Real Greyhound Bus
You see, the little bus had lots of toy Greyhound buses, and dream of going from the toy Hound bus to the real one as his dream states
Well that’s an appreciate
The little boy thought of all of the Greyhound bus
Travelling from cities to town being pluses
But there is something about a dream that might have a message
It’s Desire, Commitment and Responsibility
But what does this have to do with a little boy’s dream?
The dream shows an open road into a career of possibility
Now don’t laugh
It could very well become a reality
How did this dream actually start?
The little boy would often travel on Greyhound a lot visiting his Grandmother in Chicago at Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
However, the little boy was fond of animals, and the Hound dog perhaps captured the little boy’s heart
So the dream whisked the little boy into a reflection of destiny
The highway alone in the dream being encouragement
The Greyhound Bus itself showing the little boy the way
His little fingers on the steering wheel
The whole dream feeling like a movie reel
Wheels in motion
In the distance crossing a bridge across the ocean
All the wonders of the Greyhound bus
Grasping the little boy’s attention with no fuss
It all surrounds the Greyhound bus
Ok Thomas, it’s time to awake
You don’t want to get to school late
The little boy now is all grown up
He drives a real Greyhound Bus and travels the U.S. Continent
The dream did the preparation
The dream was simply a little boy’s hidden mind in creation.

LIFE STREAM
preservationman Aug 2017
Struggles yet extending inspiration
Life is a beginning in knowing how to live
Many times fresh fruit of pure delight
Then at other times sour grapes with life echoing pity sight
Life is how you see life
Yet life will require in taking in some wise advice
But each person should take the steering wheel in control the direction of their own life
However one who thinks pity should turnaround with a strategic witty
One lives their life to the fullest
Yet life can be shorten without any given notice
But will you live out your life completely
That is determined in how good of a life you had and how you chose to live
But never, and I do mean never take life for granted
Your living period you have within life cherish every moment
Life says caption those Kodak and selfie for a lifetime of remembrance
Before you can value other people take pride within yourself
Life is about caring and loving
Yesterday is always temporary but have tomorrows to come you haven’t seen
But in life there will be sorrow
A heartfelt sadness
As the saying goes, “Joy comes in the morning”
Let your life be fulfilled at your doorstep being life to live at your will.

DEVIL’S SEA
preservationman Jul 2023
Mysteries into mysterious
The thought just makes one curious
History having accounts within its own log
The wonders through the creation of the seas
1871 was a year when cargo ships would sail through unchartered waters of LAST CHANCE ALLEY would often disappear
The crews were never found
Some say the Devil would be aboard their ships
But there is no record of witnesses who can contest to that
All you hear and feel are the sea breezes
Many ships dare not to go through Last Chance Alley fearing that their ship would be loss and never be seen again
Captains and crews heard stories about Last Chance Alley, but feel the name should be changed to PROHIBITED ALLEY
Mysterious doesn’t make it obvious
Once mystery still a mystery
History has stated the Devil being disgusted as a monster aboard all the previous downed ships
One would think the many storms feeling like a monster itself
Imaginations gone wild
Some see Fishy ship tale being folktale
Perhaps it surrounds too much ale
Yet many ships have disappeared without any findings or known abouts
What’s the reason, and why no investigations out?
Unknowns still uncertain
A torn curtain with splits could be a beware
Was it the sea or storms themselves being lies of the Devil Sea?
We can only guess the many assumptions being nothing conclusive
Only suggestive
The Devil’s revenge
Myth or theory?
We will never know
We don’t know what is happening below
Maneuver your mind and continue to wonder
Devil Sea with an evil approach
Madness and controlling
Fulfilling in offsetting

It will be that Hospital stay
Laboratory test that could last the whole day
Yet the Doctors will have their last say
There will be times when the Patient will need the bedpan
It’s always nature calling in demand
The bedpan helps when the Patient can’t get to the restroom
Nature is immediately taken care of on the moment of soon
This will be a flush out
But relieve in what the Patient will be talking about
The Nurses will do there normal routine
The Patient will be put on a restricted diet that will be totally lean
A Patient might think that is being mean
The bedpan available is when the Patient needs to go
A nature revelation being the flow
It’s nature in the know
Yet being attention in the Patient’s own show
Yes the bedpan and the Patient giving each other movement advice
However, it comes with timing having no need to think twice.

The college, a mission of knowledge, Understanding and Education excellence
The beauty of essence
CUNY Medgar Evers College being my discovery
Yes this is the story
Medgar Evers College showed me the way in being the person I was seeking and supposed to be

I was a truly believer in Evers Teachings
It was the transformation enhancement of the Medgar Evers College uplift
Coming to Medgar Evers College was the balance of what can be achieved and the offset of Social Justice
I learned knowing where I belong
Being prepared for the challenge in getting along
Yet, Medgar Evers College enriched my educational soul like an upgraded electronic component
Stand on purpose with a mission in mine
Set the standards while drawing the line
The discovery of Medgar Evers College was my own exploration
I was on the launching pad, but aimed with the foundation of learning being success
Being my MEC alumni was my honor and privilege of appreciation
Many said I was not college material
But Medgar Evers College changed that into “I was Capable”
Destiny was in my corner because of Medgar Evers College efforts
So Medgar Evers College fulfilled me in being one of their many products for success and beyond
Words can be expressed, but understanding must be an answer. Medgar Evers College showed my own elevation into education as an open door. I entered and was enriched with instilling self-esteem in every way. Medgar Evers College objective was my take away of always remember and don’t forget.”

You became Dad and I was your son
Yet speaking with you was always fun

I have two Greyhound bus models I brought from Dad that’s a reminder for me to never forget
Rest now, but do walk around Heaven

STORMS WITH A MESSAGE

Lead not to your understanding
Get your mind off Washington and world struggling events
Concentrate on Earth
God who controls
Man’s mysteries in God’s miracles of behold
Destruction is disobedience
The Heavenly one giving a reminder to the world
You are not seeking and living Faith
You are not in the Lord’s believing, and it is the reason you are not getting a blessing in receiving
The hurricanes are my wrath
The Tornados are my power
The Thunderstorms are my voice
Prophesy being fulfilled
Acceptance to God’s word one must have a determined will
Each and every day, we as the world must pray
It’s not words we say, but what biblical scriptures that say being ok
We are world that could end tomorrow
Yet many people are living in darkness and sorrow
However, the Lord is the refreshing fruit having a morrow
Yet you should continue to pray
I want the world to be inspired and have lives being ok
A world that shouldn’t show hate
The inner spirit should have respect
It shouldn’t be any elect, and certainly not scholarly in intellect
The world grows by understanding the Lord
You are guided by praising his accord
Knowledge comes from being educated in the Lord
Storms upon storms will continue
But be watchful in the skies
There are not biblical surprises
But it is salvation having a realize
The realize is knowing who Christ is, and his blood giving us life
When struggles come it is the Heaven advice
Remember world, I am Christ who sits high and the Earth I observe
I don’t have to utter one word
I am the Lord who controls
Great I am
Be watchful as I am coming back to Earth to Judge the world
Be ready to meet the Lord almighty
A change could be at any given hour, second or moment
Tomorrow could very well be today
But are you everlasting ready?
Your soul having an internal home
Heaven being the place where praises will roam
Keep praying before it is too late
Disobedience is a hesitate
Follow the Lord before it is too late.

Pure curiosity

A big company in consolidating
Global Staff with a vision of anticipate
However, it becomes a moment of wait
Various Staff members are either being laid off without notice
It seems they just disappear, but later becomes obvious
Yet sounds more like a Magician in vanish
This is no make believe
It doesn’t make any employee to feel relieved
It’s nothing but actual reality in play
No assurance having an ok
However, if employee was moved to another location
Once again, disappearance suddenly being the indication
Now you see now you don’t
Do you know where an employee went you simply won’t?
Disappear having a questionable reappear
The whole idea of consolidation enhances some fear
Motivation extract with a lack of preserver

My collection of scale toy buses
Having enthusiasm adding being pluses
I wanted to do something different

It came out exact

It has become a committed responsibility

BEING MY OWN POET LEGEND

Inspiration that followed everlasting
The words that took there proper place
Yet sentences no one could ever erase
Proud and honor to be a Poet
But I am letting you know it
It became my writing movement in time
My words being like turn of revolve
But with the resolutions to solve
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.

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

Because I can’t sleep I just want to shout
Those that can’t sleep also know what I am talking about
Countless hours looking around the room
Clock ticking, but the next day no way coming soon
Please eyes just drop so I can fall asleep
Just give me that snooze control in sleep

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.

Was this the prophecy being the End Of The World that was near?
A strong voice shouted out, “I AM JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!”
Many of you thought that I was dead
But you have been thinking within your own understanding instead
I have seen from Heaven your hatred and evilness towards one another
I am about Love and peace in not being the Devil the other
The Hatred must stop
I am the Lord who sits high at the top
Your resist is a continual persist

Overcoming through prayer is ok

Hatred and evilness doesn’t have to stay this way
I am the Lord and I have the complete say

Praying is how blessings will begin

Read your bible and you will understand the trail
Being a Christian Believer means being Heaven among
Christ is the number one
I am merciful, but grow tire in the world’s wickedness
My Faith warriors offer praise and they are my witness

Our romance you would often boost
Lately I noticed you weren’t home at night
Suspicion was in plain sight

But when I confronted you on your love affair, we always argued and shouted
You abruptly stated, “You are not seeing another woman”
Yet woman were calling the house asking for you throughout the day
Your excuse was business clients always illustrating your way
There really isn’t any reason for this marriage to continue and stay
We took our marriage vows as man and wife
I often was told, I need marriage advice
I thought we had a good marriage being connected, and I didn’t have to think twice
Our marriage was like an open door having no locks
You put a pierced sharp arrow in my heart
I am definitely seeking a divorce
I will not fight nor use force
Obviously I am not the woman you need
Our marriage needs to end and not proceed
Goodbye and have a good life
You have loss a very good wife.

Being the Leader in controlling one’s manly life
Sometimes being guided from sound advice
Having confidence in being assured
Under the accord of Faith which comes from our Lord
Understanding being a Black Man
Not let opposition say otherwise
The Black Man if the head of the household by demand
Expressing conviction when emotions are wrong
Yet through it all remaining always strong
The Black Man knowing when to take his place
Sometimes the enemy wants to meet face to face
Creating the right environment for a family
Supporting the Wife or Girlfriend
Knowing the Wife or Girlfriend is the Black Man’s companion who will give good advice
The Black Man having no doubt to think twice
Being Father to your Son or Daughter as a Black Man should
But society wonders if the Black Man could
It’s about survival all in that order
The Black Man who romances a woman with having a baby
It means taking responsibility and not someone else
The Black Man is the unity being solely self
The Black Man must look beyond seeing the woman as a *** object
The woman has the right to reject
But it’s the enchanting interlude having the effect
The Black Man is considered a king
But the Black Man must always remember one thing
A woman is a Queen
The Black Man cannot substitute anything in between
The Black Man presents the image of destiny
The inspiration from within

The Poet prepared some of his writings to the test
He wanted to make sure they were his very best
It will be poetry to read having inspiration to proceed
Oh the thought in deed
The Poet became an actual Poet
No longer being a Poet to be

But I encourage anyone with a desire to write
Unlock your mind with fear and don’t be uptight
Take your time and watch as words accelerate
Writing is never too late
Let your mind tell you what to say
Thinking in the moment is certainly ok

You have put me on alert
You always pulled on my skirt
You took advantage
But I will no longer give you privilege
It’s a wonder you weren’t denied before
That was a time when I wasn’t sure
You proved to me of who you really are
It’s time for me too move on, and go far
Don’t try to find and contact me
I have a new life to explore to see
Access denied
Yet care free for me.

GREYHOUND BUS HEIST
preservationman Jan 2018
COMMOTION HAVING AN OUTBURST
NOT A TELEVISION SERIES BEING A REHEARSE
A THIEF WHO STOLE A GREYHOUND BUS
A JOY RIDE IN MANHATAN THAT CAUSED A FUSS
BUT THE THIEF HAD DRIVING SKILLS BEING A PLUS
THE GREYHOUND DRIVER PARKED THE BUS TEMPORARY ON THE STREET
THE BUS WAS UNATTENDED AWAITING FOR ITS DEPARTURE BEFORE ENTERING THE PORT AUTHORITY BUS TERMINAL
LEAVE THE DRIVING BEYOND THE REGULAR COMPANY MOTOR COACH OPERATOR
THE THIEF TOOK THE GREYHOUND BUS OUT FOR A SPIN
IT WASN’T UNTIL THEN
THE POLICE MOVED IN
THE THIEF WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN AWAY
LUCKILY THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS ABOARD, BUT THE GREYHOUND BUS APPEARED OK
THAT’S THE STORY BEING THE RELAY.

Yes you heard on the news
I am the arrival of Hurricane Dorian
I am a storm that no one is enthused
I am not a Tornado so don’t get confused
I have a path and could be heading your way
I pack a wallop so I would suggest that you don’t stay
Pack your belongings and make a quick getaway
I bring Winds, Rain and possible Thunderstorms
Now you have been warn
Yet Meteorologist has no idea in what direction I might take
The decision is Heaven’s sake
Lives are at stake
Personal property could be loss
Boats will be feeling their toss
Of course winds will definitely have a force
I am Hurricane Dorian to be a reckon
Look and watch out
I am Hurricane Dorian that no one knows, but will definitely be talked about.

I was bitten by the acting stage
My inner emotions full of rage
Yet the stage called
I then answered
Entered as a Man
Confer as a Philosopher
Singing being the delivering messenger
Music being the entire interlude
But here’s the include
Drama with Dramatics throughout
A world that came to an end
Run for your lives
But where can one run
The biblical revelations has already been done
The Earth seemed to open up
The Heaven’s were fed up
The Bible said just what would come
But the world didn’t prepare
There was nothing where
Time was up
Life as I know will be no more
This tomorrow is a soar
My tears that I shred have no assured
A devastation that the world can’t ignore
My strength draws weak with no endurance
The Heaven’s were my only influence
But this will be the last time
My eyes forever grow dim and darkness surrounds me
The sun has turned black
No time to turn back
My fate is what I feel but can’t see
Tomorrow will be eternity
But there is no sorrow and pity
This is my destiny and I have taken my last breath
My hour has come with no time left
My spirit has risen
The Thunder roars and the Lightening with flash
I am gone.

Cope comes with hope
Yesterday arrives having a tomorrow
Sorrow is a temporary morrow
The wonders of the soul
But let me assist you with a behold
In time of sorrow and struggles, our Savior should call
A divined prayed to Heaven that doesn’t stall
There is always a connection
But you must make the first step being participation
Remember Christ died for us
The world wonders what is the fuss?
It was struggles and prosecution our Lord went through
We as flesh must walk through trials and tribulations
These are to be
This is what the Savior wants us to see
A taken soul having a rising height
The Lord promised, there is Heaven you shall be
But keep praising and enterprising salvation
There is no occasion nor fashion
It’s the merciful Savior who is worthy to be honored and praised
Through the Lord’s goodness comes his amaze
But let me comfort your heart
When you feel alone, the Lord lets you know you are not alone
However, the Lord always lets it be known
Day after Day, year after year it will always be shown
Walk and talk with the Lord
Pray until
If you are an alcoholic and want to quit, God is the remedy and will help you overcome
If you do drugs, the same principles applies
But you must take the first step in giving god a try
Life is about everlasting
Now the Savior conquered his struggles
So shall we
But the Lord is the sustaining key
Death did not hole the Lord down
He is in Heaven looking down on Earth walking around
However, Death shall not hold us down either
We too as souls will know one another
We will be able to touch each other
Those that died prior, we will see and talk again
So love one you loss who died in Christ rejoice
Joy will bring happiness, gladness and inspiration
But before I go
This I want you all to know

FAITH
preservationman Oct 2014
Believe and you shall receive
Doubting not an option
Praying being the ultimate alternative
Yet you must keep your salvation active
The test of the savior to see if you will hold on too faith
Again faith in believe and assurance to be relieved
The honor and glory in your daily prayers
God knows exactly how much you can bare
Man has no power that can compare
It’s all about the heavenly faith
Your eyes to the Heavens
Remember God really does care
But the Devil is whom you need to be aware
The Devil wants to crush your faith
But with Faith step your foot and stomp the Devil out
Then shout with praise and now you know what I am talking about
The Lord has given you an oath, “Assurance you can believe in”
Don’t think of then nor when
Faith is ongoing like endurance in just begin
But God’s power will carry you until the very end.

POET TALK
preservationman May 2015
Why don’t we form a Poet Sky community with making poetry reader friendly unit?
Combine all Poets words
Letting the reader know we have a voice and want to be heard
Can you imagine reading poetry in the air?
This could be called “Spotlight Poetry from the sky”
This would be something beyond compare
But it would be all kinds of poetry that we could share
Thinking of the minds presented in the skies
Our inner most voice of how we Poets are wise
Like a mystery novel of a Poet’s pull of surprise
We are Poets who know
We want the readers to follow our flow
Our words that have centered our minds in just let go
As Poets, we were meant to write
We’re the ones who know how to be polite
Words upon words
The fortress of a Poet’s foundation
All in the Poet’s imagination
A Poet in what you can expect
A reader’s response in how they elect.

It was words that I seemed to arrange
I guess getting the reader’s attention was my aim
But that is a gift in order to help the reader get a lift
I always thought I couldn’t write
But then readers from other sites assured me my words were in sight
Later I thought, the readers are only being polite
However, the honest truth came out
The readers were telling me that continue to write and use your gift and the morse is what I am talking about
What inspires you in my writings?
What words of my work that has captured your siding?
I want to know, should I really continue to write?
Please be honest and more than just polite
I enjoy writing
Sharing my thoughts, experiences and emotions
I want my writing to help you see beyond any clouds and oceans
Have you thinking about your own notions
Let me hear your true voice
You hold the cards in being the reader’s choice.

Still in love all these years
Whispers of love enchanted in my ears
The words “I LOVE YOU”
Our romance is still alive
It’s always been our communication in how we always strived
I knew you were the one when we set eyes
But it was no surprise
We knew we were in love being the realize
Your heart settled in mine
Our eyes looked upon like fine wine
Fragrances that state our love is still fresh
You placed rose pebbles all over the bed
A Barry White song being our stead
Later Terry Pendergrass song, “Turn Off The Lights”
Oh what a night
Our love to each other being a pure interlude
Yet we are still in love of ongoing chapters of no conclude
Its relaxation in soothe
Your love to me is simply smooth
Happy Valentine’s Day
Love and Kisses every step of the way.

THERE WAS ONCE A HILL
preservationman Sep 2021
Deep in height
There was even fright
It was careful steps
Maybe a stumble
But the thought was climb
Faith was kept in mind
I had to be determined that defeat wasn’t my virtue
My heart had to remain true
It became a commitment
But to some people, it was jealousy in resentment
Yet the hill was high
I whispered a prayer to thy
Climb I shall
Endurance with all
No time to stall

The night being the sleep
A mind being clear and the mission to sleep deep
Dreams will come into sub-conscious
I guess the coming of tomorrow being anxious
But what will the next day be?
However, will a person wake up to see?
Now before a person even sleeps, let us pray
That’s what will carry one being the relay
It’s not a test being a competitive race
But it is confronting the moment with confidence face to face
Does it really mater if and when a person gets up?
It’s takes the movement of the body in action to move
But it is the ability in influence having one’s inspiration to prove
Yet a good night sleep that should be smooth
A wonder on one’s mind of tomorrow in what to expect
However, no one can see or predict the future
Tomorrow will be whatever tomorrow is
There is a realize
There is also an analyze
But there is no apologize
Remember your mind wants to go to sleep
Sometimes worries are on your mind and can’t sleep, and you find yourself counting sheep
But sleep tight and dream on
You have a big day tomorrow and it could be long.

Thank you MOM
A day is an everlasting in never forget
I certainly have no regret
You taught me well
It shows as the world can tell
Spring is about the freshness of the flowers
But Mom, it is your true love being the clear air that continues to flourish
Your cooking added to my nourish
I remember Mom when I was sick, you stayed with me throughout
That is a true Mother to whom I am talking about
You were my strength in being the bearing zone
You took responsibility and I am letting it be known
Mom, you instilled understanding
Your knowledge was wisdom gained
Deep in my heart that will always remain
When I did wrong, you showed me right
Mom, when chastising, you told me to never be uptight
You said, “Life won’t be easy, but you wanted me to be prepared”
I became a responsible person
Stability going beyond
Mom, your discipline became my guiding light
My love will always be extending
Happy Mother’s Day
Inspiration is your trademark I am proud to say

I AM THE SUN

I have been shining since the beginning of time
My sunrays that expel fire
The heat can bring out the romance in desire
I am the sun that goes down, and rises up every given day
It’s the closing of the previous that goes astray
Yet I am the sun that can burn
It’s like a cremation from an urn
But just don’t get too close
You could go blind to most
Now clouds will roll in from time to time
It’s weather changes that block me out
Its called metrology is what I am talking about
I was shining from the Earth’s very beginning
I have more beaming shades than any home run of a baseball inning
I am not history
However, Scientist thinks I am a mystery
They study my every move
It’s their analysis they want to prove
I bring joy when I shine because people can enjoy the outdoors
My warm rays one can never ignore
I am the shine that brings the world pure delight
I add to a good day being an excite
Shine I have
Warmth I give
Some people get upset when I shine being sensitive
But smile when I shine
Now keep that in mine.

Let the exercise force be with you

READ AND IT SHALL BE FOUND

Write and it will become an idea
Think and an opinion from your own fear
Words being defined in despair
A word of caution, but beware
Know the person who you are trying to persuade
But tell your mouth it needs to behave
The power to listen
Open eyes that truly glisten
Words never spoken
A promise should never be broken
Encouragement needed to help me along
Where do I fit in and are you sure I belong?
It was words of adornment all the time
The thoughts of many combined
Yet I couldn’t have done it alone
It was the Heavenly Father who let it be shown
Round and round we go and it became known
Words, words and more words
Sentences with a complete thought
Being a direction needing sought
The clouds with their own reminder
Utter not, but believe in, and focus on, and don’t be deceived in your own blend
Later on your understanding will come at the end.

A SHIP CALLED EMILY MORGAN
preservationman Jan 2019
Does anybody know what the ship “Emily Morgan” is?
Think hard as I might be giving a Quiz
The ship is of a Merchant Vessel
But someone famous you know was part of this ship
However, here’s a tip
It’s a famous store name in Herald Square
The name is advertised regularly on the air
The man’s name is R.H. Macy
But here is the full name Rowland Hussey Macy
Mr. Macy was a Merchant ****** from Nantucket in Cape Cod, MA
If you are or were a Macy’s shopper, I am sure you didn’t know that being part of Macy’s Heritage
But I wanted to share being my privilege
So set sail was how Mr. Macy ventured
But it was the mightier the storm, the wonders of the adventure
Mr. Macy was often guided on the Emily Morgan using his own initiative
He sailed on the seas of Cape Code, but New Bedford, MA being one of his ports
So the Emily Morgan was a ship with a Macy’s Department Store mission
Mr. R.H. Macy was a Merchant ****** that made it happen.

There’s a Sunrise that is the start
Add it and sum it up
Numbers control your entire life
Your Horoscope of your birth is your daily advice
Hours, Seconds and Minutes
A test of your on-time performance
Your own numbers for you to figure out
Think on that as your daily task as you move about.
