A GRANDMOTHER’S WISDOM
preservationman Jun 2021
Grandson, there will be a world you will never understand
You will learn of God’s goodness through the land
Through God you will be able to stand
As you walk through life in living you will understand
Living is a learning experience
You will walk through endless storms
But that is part of life being the norm
You may think you are loss, but God has you in found
Echoes upon echoes is inspiration in sound
Listen as I embrace you in wisdom
There is a place far away known as the Kingdom
In that place you will find everlasting
The preparation starts with salvation
The continuation is Deliverance
I taught you how to pray
Through prayer everything will be ok
In that moment and hour, pray
Now eventually I will be called home
But it will be everlasting to roam
No matter what, my spirit of legacy will always be within you
It is my establishment signature
Grandson, fulfill being God’s will
Watch your steps and hold your peace in still
I must leave you now
You will always be in my heart
My soul lifted up
Behold, we shall meet again
Grandson, “Always observe the clouds, and be prepared”
Grandma says, “Pray and continue to pray”
Now it becomes wait until that day

My realization of Miracle on 34th Street that came to life
My years working for Macy’s Corporate at the Flagship Herald Square Tower
It was the Macy’s and Gimbel’s competitive era
The miracle started with Macy’s was planning a big advertising campaign
The story begins with a Macy’s Buyer and Gimbel’s Buyer having lunch
Both Buyers asked the same question of what was happening at both companies
Macy’s and Gimbel’s were foes
Being both dominance on Herald Square back then, and Macy’s still is
They always had to outdo the other
As it turned out, the Macy’s Buyer told the Gimbel’s Buyer exactly what was happening at Macy’s
So how, Gimbels heard about the advertising campaign that Macy’s was going to illustrate
For Gimbels that was an appreciate
Strategy beat to the punch
Gimbel’s presented Macy’s advertising campaign making it there’s
This made Mr. Edward Finkelstein, Macy’s former CEO President frustrated
Mr. Finkelstein had another theory with another idea
Counter attack being that Mr. Finkelstein had someone spy on Gimbel’s to see what they were planning
Ready, aim and observe

Gimbel’s had their plan so sophisticated and complex that Macy’s own couldn’t figure out, but presented only a portion the best they could
The Gimbel’s plan didn’t come out the way Macy’s encountered
Macy’s loss on that score
Later that morning at precisely 10:00 am, Mr. Finkelstein had email sent to everyone at Macy’s that we are not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbel’s
Miracle defeat in devastation of disappointment
Nonetheless, miracle seen through both companies of Macy’s and Gimbel’s
My yesteryear back
I worked in Mr. Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office at one time assisting Veronica, Mr. Finkelstein’s Secretary in various Typing projects
I took a Typing test at Macy’s and tested at 95 words per minute with only made on error
Because of that, I was asked from time to time to assist in his office
M. Edward Finkelstein is deceased
Miracle through being competitive
My history in exploring
My story
Miracles have it for all to remember
They can happen anywhere
Miracle on 34th Street
Upbeat and neat

VENOM OF LUST
preservationman Jan 2018
A curtain that has thin satin
The Moon having the right angle
Urges accelerating into stronger urges
It became the moment between a Man and a Woman
Their clothes seem to just fall off
It was nature setting the course
Sweat poured like steam
The love juice felt more like a warm summer stream
One could hear screams of ecstasy
But it became apparent of more, more and more
It was the signal being right in sure
Yet bodies were in full control of their emotions
It was liker waves cruising over an ocean
Lust lasted throughout the entire night
It was behind closed doors being a sight
The Man and Woman loss in their own Biology
They became their own experimental love scientist
Lust was truly on the run
The ****** was complete and the couple had fun
The Man and Woman fulfilled their lust for each other, and they were finally done
It was enjoyment being among
Urges that were extremely strong
A couple knew how to move Lust along.

WHAT SEPARATES US?
preservationman Sep 2017
What separates you from loving me?
What separates me from you loving you?
Emotions no longer control
Mind communications don’t connect
In fact, our personalities totally neglect
There is no love effect
Our understanding doesn’t have an intellect
Yet we don’t speak
We are like a thread not going through the needle
Our bed even protests in not being loved
The truth is within us
Why must we be separated?
We seem we are apart even when we are together
Yet I still have love for you
However you say you still love me
My thinking, I will have to wait and see
But we stand alone
No understanding shown
We are like two birds that have flown
My hesitation I should have known
I don’t want to make this full blown
Separated we are
We can only work out our differences and see how far.

Talking bus
Surprised to hear one
Never out done
Flag me down
Step aboard
Hear the engine pulsating
I travel from Market Street Downtown and all around into the suburbs
It’s the commuters who ride
Street to street to which I provide
Stopping within various street blocks
Sometimes traffic like it or not
Daily proceed
Transit all communities need
When you see your stop, just pull the cord, and I will stop
A talking transit bus at its best
Some say they can take it or less
Commuters have that right to confess
Nonetheless, transit bus on duty
Observe how I absorb the street bumps, totally sturdy
This talking transit bus has said enough
No bluff

Someone in the Church wanted to sing a solo
But at the time, it started out as only a photo
Yet this was the night for the Church Choir to rehearse
This might be the time for a reverse
It was an allegorizing moment of sour note upon sour note
I would make anybody in the audience to choke
Someone suggested in let us pray
The Choir definitely needed a miracle
Now it has always been said, “Make a joyful noises”
But somewhere the congregation would disagree
Sour notes don’t win this
But how will the church congregation respond Fetch, Quiver and the words, Lord have mercy?
So painful as it was, the congregation managed to get how the sweet the sound by way of a sermon, “Glory in speaking Words”
That was the best unmusical tune ever heard
Amen to prayer and singing that never got there.

It has nothing to do with Silver and Gold treasure
There is nothing in material value to measure
It doesn’t surround love of pleasure
I am not talking about a intimate interlude
Yes when you think on love follows soothe
But true hidden treasure is the goodness of one’s self
Sometimes you think of everything being in a treasure chest found in the attic
But there you go again thinking you are a rich fanatic
The hidden treasure is actually your own heart feeling the joy
Breathe in all that admiration
Look high in the sky with all that appreciation
There’s your hidden treasure
You are the possibilities and your purpose controls your realities
Hidden treasure you never thought about
You are that hidden treasure
Finding who you are and where you want to be
Reflection in and day out
Your own treasure to cherish
Hidden not
But a good find
It’s the charisma heart being unhidden treasure that is divine

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

A question came, and what is all the fuss?
It was bus passion coming alive
The purpose in making sure buses survive

Buses were travelling up and down the road
Suddenly there was a behold
Buses became more in talk
Bus Enthusiast had to stalk
Bus creation became presentation
Bus hearts was the representation
Buses are now alive and well
You see my “DO TELL”
When you see a bus pass by, just wave
Buses have been awakened to the sunrise, and have an ongoing sunset

Bus passion made that obvious
Your bus has rolled out
It is somewhere moving about
Take time to Marvel any bus, and check it out.

Who’s there?
A Giant says he
Being tall
The Giants call

People are like toys
Looking over the colony
Think of me as your majesty
King high above
A tall tree
My footsteps are my mark
Traces of where I have been
I am tall from the top to the end
Witty and smart
The colony fears me
I am sight to seek
The Earth shakes when I move
It’s powerful in what I want to prove
That Jack is always being my search
He wants a battle with me
Who do you think will win?
Destiny my reward
A battle with a sword
I have a cold colony heart
Don’t let my temper stir up
I don’t get none
Alone and among
The Giant needs love sometimes
Happiness is sitting up in a tree
Searching but no find
A colony that is never kind too me
What do I do?
Otherwise has no surprise
This Giant just sits and waits
Let me stomp my foot loud in approval
The Giant has spoken

NEWSWEEK LOVE
preservationman Jul 2021
Love can be a maybe with perhaps
It’s a periodical of words drawn by couples
Then again maybe love not at all
Words upon caring or uncertainty words
But are couples truly listening to what the other partner is saying?
How do they compliment each other?
Yet, I believe each couple must have a feeling in what love means
Love comes in days, months and weeks throughout the years
Romance if truth in preserver
Hearts enter like a portal
At times, love can become a violent storm going through the stimulation like a black hole
But it is no illusion
Do couples see what the stars in the sky are saying?
However, is there a twinkle within the love between couples?
Hearts should be stirring perfection into admiration
Love becomes the scale between Desire and Cherish
The finale within the kiss
Not a wish
Distinguished
Periodical love
Hearts enchanted
It takes follow through
But requires pursue
Love advice
That is what keeps love together with a mixture of honey, sugar and spice
Extraction to the nice
Newsweek love, the yearly affair, hearts centered for the next level surrounding love
You read on now enchant on
Love is endless
As couples are priceless

One moment to reflect back

Footsteps every turn

Wanting time to slow up
Needing time to just time
Wanting doubt to be eliminated

Hope being assurances made

Every shadow being the image of presentation
Bare feet with open ideas
Into the unknown of tomorrow

The footprints having what was achieved in life

Solid theory
Footprints motto, “Carry me into the horizon with no tire nor expire. Direct me beyond doubt, but into assurance. Let me be totally prepared in what is to come. Let the footprints be able into enable and stable in being determined. Blueprints being the rendering of one’s soul and one heart to another. Deliver in showing the way.

Fear not, but be courageous on
I see wisdom in the sunrise
Hope within the sundown
I hear cries for Justice
Shouts to end separation
Anguish through the struggles
I won’t turn back, I will move forward
The mission is onward
It’s the fight for Civil Rights
It was travels I am observed
Understanding helped me to be aware
Opposition upon Opposition just didn’t care
I the fight was going to be a long haul
It was Night and through Daylight
I stood on promise and being honest
I grew weary and felt tired
Civil Rights remained strong on mind in don’t let time expire
I encouraged people we must carry on
Chant after Chant, “We Shall Overcome”
I saw the image of God, and his words was, “KEEPING MOVING MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS”
Stay the course like I did going to the cross
Remember, I am Mighty and true
I am your victory, and you shall pursue
Dr. King maneuvered through those very words
Marching, Marching and Marching
Through Major Cities and Towns
Dr. King was like Moses to Freedom
But Dr. King’s mission was, “Recognize people with Dignity”
Every footstep was discerning
But sacrifice has its own story
However, God would provide the glory
A quote from Medgar Wiley Evers, “YOU CAN **** A MAN, BUT NOT A DREAM”
It was through Dr. King’s dream providing the determination that he shall not be moved
He was beaten and put in jail
This only added more mobility that transcended
It was time to March to WASHINGTON, DC
I heard the echoes of the song, “PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND”
But it established “Lead Me On”
Voices upon voices woke up Washington extending to the entire world
Racial Equality was an unjust
The moment of truth had come true
Victory was ever getting near
Opposition was focusing Hate into Fear
God made it all possible and worthwhile
That was the 1950’s and 1960’s
Peace became golden thereafter
The leader, Dr. Martin Luther King has been assassinated, but proved in his fight he intended to win
However, history seems to be reverting back where the fight for Freedom all began
Eye on Freedom and Voting in 2022
Voting rights are being attacked
Media has made it a fact
We can’t lose sight
Dr. Martin Luther King fulfilled to the world, “We are the Might”
It’s not about Black, Brown, White or any other nationality, it’s about coming together as one and respecting one another regardless
Dr. King loss his life
His words then and now would still be good advice
If Dr. King was alive today, he would say, ‘MOBILIZE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, STAND YOUR GROUND AND BRING PRINCIPLES TO THE SHORE, AND LET YOUR EYES BE LIKE AN LIGHTHOUSE IN ALWAYS BE ALERT AS TOMORROW WILL ARRIVE ONCE AGAIN”
Aim towards Freedom as I showed you the way
Never go astray
I am in Heaven, but my spirit will carry you every step of the way
You told us to stay United
Focus on Mission
Finish until done
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Dr. Martin Luther king

Disciplining right from wrong
Teaching the child to how to get along

No time limits
Plenty of sacrifice

Hard knocks like no other
Mother instincts
Proud moment when the child grows up to become a Man or Lady

It was being in a cast part of “I NEED A MAN” on BROADWAY
It was a Gospel play
I had one single line to say
I played a Date
It wasn’t a big part, but I did appreciate
But as my story goes on, there’s an although
I was raised my by Grandparents who forbidden me to go into show business
But God is my witness
It all happened when my Grandparents passed away
It didn’t happen on the same day
In fact, Broadway came too me, and that is what I want to emphasize for all too see
I am a Natural Actor
Never had any Performing Arts training
But I have been around Broadway Stars
Yet my heart says forever yours Broadway
But I am thankful for that moment on that day
The show must go on
But the Pandemic extended really long
However, show business I don’t want to belong
I will always cherish in the opportunity in being part of the stage of Broadway
I imagine performing under the spotlight and surrounded by the singing
But my mind is constantly thinking
It was a fun stunt
I am not looking to Broadway to hunt
It was a moment thing
It was Broadway throughout in entertainment with a swing.

Deeper beyond any words in write
Destruction at every corner having a strange direction
Yet a plight with numerous complications
A Poet’s thought of life in the mind
A bit of surprises that might seem sublime
The Poet writes what they had experienced
The emotions were disturbed by a storm within
The storm became severe
There was a roadblock with no idea of how to preserver
The Poet’s mind became a conclude
The formulation was no solitude
But something told the Poet to jolt down the words
Immediately there was a silence with no sound
The Poet had no idea in where they would be bound
It wasn’t a place nor a town
But the Poet knows who they are and will construct a write down
The sustain will continue to remain
Yet the Poet dwells blame
A theme suddenly pops into the Poet’s head, “For Once It Came”
It’s all but a memory of a dream
It was long time ago standing as a youngster playing by a stream
I must return to reality, and think Poet
But as I write, I understand within my own convictions, and as a Poet, I now know it.

They will tell your home into a hotel
No vacancies to rats in get out
Put measures in place
That includes getting rid of garbage waste
Show them you mean business
Become the victor being your own witness
Be careful when using chemicals
You don’t want to harm any pets nor small children
Electronic devices may do the right trick
Just make that measure stick
They encourage them to leave
Catch your breath and feel relieved
You don’t need a Jerry in your house

Be aware as they are moving about
Let your home be pest free
Prevention is the key

The thought of Parades, Fireworks, and everything in between from Macy’s Herald Square. It was the capturing moment of the heart by a Five Year Old boy being the writer. I was a member of the MMG team known as Macy’s Merchandising Group at the Corporate level at Penn 11 Plaza in New York City. It all started when my Aunt Elmira took me to Macy’s Herald Square, and we were walking around the store, and I was startled, and my attention was drawn by a marquee eyes  pulsating moving back and forth with an array of school buses on display. The school buses in yellow and miniature toy students inside, and the roof was partially open. Unknowingly to my Aunt, I had picked up one of the buses, and held it tight in my tot hands for life. Once when my Aunt was ready to leave Macy’s. My Aunt noticed that picked up one of those school buses in my hand from the display. My Aunt told me to put the bus back, and I wouldn’t. Through my mind was shouldn’t. My Aunt even tried to take the bus out of my hand, but couldn’t. I had a strong grip for a little tot. As s tot, I was determined that the bus was going to be mine regardless. I even kicked my Aunt. My Aunt was forced to buy that bus at Macy’s. That ordeal led me to exposure to the bus industry in moving and observing.

This all led me to become a Bus Hobbyist in the preservation within the motor coach bus industry, and working for the hound being Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. in my teenage years while I was going to college as a Package Express outside Account Executive. Macy’s opened the doors for me being the bus industry, and their headlights. An opportunity through the tunnel of intrigue. It was the open road with clear concise ideas, and the off ramp being my destination. It was the notion with presentation, and the buses in becoming my collecting structure. Who would have thought, Macy’s being my saga in becoming a bus enthusiast, and forming idealist. Thank you Macy’s for starting my first Bus Road Trip, and the chapter in stepping down memory lane and acknowledging the highway.

The house is really a large Mansion
It is nestled way in the countryside

One the Female Housekeeper’s enters Mr. Sterling Persian’s room, and he is found dead
Screams upon screams
The commotion draws attention to the family
The Police are later summoned
When they arrive, they immediately look for clues
This is definitely something to pursue
The Police search throughout Sterling Persian’s room
They notice footprints that lead to the Son’s room, Arthur Persian’s room, but hiding in his closet, he suddenly abruptly comes out
The Son fires shots after shots, but his subdued by the mighty bullets of the Police
He wounded, and confesses Fortune made him do it
So Arthur Persian was arrested

It’s the respect you give
It’s also the encouragement and how you think positive
You make me laugh and we have fun
I am blessed for your friendship among

Well our friendship let this be shown
Friendship is something where one must adapt
It’s not something that comes from an app
Yet you won’t find on any map
There will be times of our in difference
But that is what makes friendship unique
Friendship is something everyone should keep
But at the same token there should not be lies of deceit

THE MYSTERIOUS BLUE CLOTH
preservationman Jul 2020
It involves a big church
A Church Pastor with a big question
It could very well be a suggestion
It was a strange mysterious blue cloth
At one of the ends, the Blue Cloth looked like it had been eaten by a Moth
It seemed this Blue Cloth was significant
It certainly didn’t look at all magnificent
The Blue Cloth was placed on an old wooden table
But even the table didn’t look stable
This is far from any fable
The Blue Cloth was symbolic, but a resistance of enable
Perhaps the Blue Cloth was some form of curse
Now it probably needs a reverse
A blessing that wouldn’t come
The idea of a Blue Cloth was a cover of none
A Church congregation felt the Blue Cloth had the Devil’s ways
They also illustrated they didn’t want no part, and didn’t them nor stay
The congregation totally went astray
The Pastor and Congregation all prayed at that moment, and they were determined the Devil’s Blue Cloth wasn’t going to keep them bound
Praises in the multitude one could hear the sounds
So the Blue Cloth stayed on far away on that wooden table
Because of the Heaven’s, the Pastor and Congregation was able
The Heavenly Spirit said, “This is your getaway, and leave that Blue Cloth alone on this day”
So the Blue Cloth was never seen again
That Blue Cloth was an Evil friend
The Blue Cloth was burned up by Heaven

A FATHER’S DAY BREEZE
preservationman Jun 2022
I was raised by my Granddad
He thought of me as his Lad
He taught me right from wrong
He also expressed in how I should get along
My thoughts are his legacy he gave me
“Be everything that you are meant to be”
“Become a Commodity”
It was all related for what my Granddad expected for me in life
My Grandad had me practice typing 4 hours every day, and helped me build up my vocabulary intellectually
The whole process was preparing for College Education
My Granddad would often say “I don’t care other young people are doing, but for you it will be Higher Learning”
Higher Learning it was
He saw me being an achiever
However, it was my Granddad being a Believer instilling assurance within me
I thank my Granddad often for his influence
If it wasn’t for my Granddad, I don’t think I would have pushed myself into expectations
My Granddad’s legacy still holds true today in giving
I made many strides of accomplishments
All through the guidance of my Granddad, but I must give thanks to the Almighty above
His spirit holds true within my heart
I will never forget
I am the Adult he said I would become
My Granddad said, “You will remember this Old Man”
I do, and have no reason not too
So Happy Father’s Day in the Heavenly divine
Your Grandson is going just fine
Your teachings were tough
Your influence was more than enough
Your Legacy followed
Happy Father’s Day beyond.

Where did respect go?
Smiles turned into hate
Where is the appreciate?
It’s now Hesitate
The world doesn’t even want to communicate
Assurance being forgotten
This is totally rotten
Encouragement loss its fulfilled
It is not in the world’s will
We are Brothers and Sisters on this Earth, it doesn’t matter Race, what happened?
The world’s focus was surrounded by love
Laughter and joy to think of
It seems departed ways these days
Astray
Not ok
What’s the cause?
People are called out of their names
Pure Lame
Killings, Muggings and other crimes for no reason
Senseless
Racism circulating in the picture
No nurture
What happened?

When will we learn?
We didn’t create ourselves
It was a Heavenly Mighty Self

What do you think it was?
No clue scratching your head
It wasn’t Underdog
It was a Flying Greyhound
Not a bus, but an airline called Greyhound Air
Imagine seeing a Greyhound Dog by way of an airline soaring into the friendly skies
Sometimes uncertain in angry Heavens
But it was Greyhound Air with the Greyhound Dog shown at the tail end
Maple Leaf Canadian affair
It flew in the air
Moment in time
1996, the year Greyhound Air Dog took flight
Got wings
It was a take off
Down the runway into the skies
This is how Greyhound aviation become wise
The feeling of triumphant
The establishment of change
Land and air became significant
Now you know, but always remember
Who would have thought?
Greyhound Air
A slogan could have been, “Go Greyhound Air and observe the clouds in no compare. Just enjoy our economic fare with elegant service with flair”
1997 was Greyhound Air end

A birds descend
A flying G proved a Greyhound Dog can
Do by air as well as land being far from the sea with possibilities to see.

THE FRENCHIE FOUR WHEELS

What do the Eiffel Tower, French Speaking Language, French Fries and French Café Streets have in common
Enchanted Paris
The French having all that
But it is the Citroen Car Sedan being the fact
My Grandfather owned the Citroen Car Sedan, but he wasn’t French and it all happened in the USA
I remember as if it was yesterday, my Grandfather had not only had the Citroen Sedan, but he also had the Station Wagon as well
Well let me tell
The Citroen had destined specifications and design
For starters, there was no ignition key, but it was a push button for transmission, Two Marker Lights on the Left and Right in the back
I hope you are keeping track
The most important element to the Citroen was that you had to wait for the back of the car to rise
Surprised?

Yes rise
But the Citroen sedan was unique
It was small and petite
I remember my Grandmother not liking the Citroen because of the waiting period to move into drive
Once the Citroen rose in the back, it would suddenly eject back to normal and at the point it was all go
Even myself, I had to get used to the Citroen, and my taste for French flavor
After the Citroen Sedan, my Grandfather decided to trade the Citroen Sedan for a Station Wagon
It was the same concept, but slightly longer, and more wider
But there was an end to the Citroen Station Wagon in my life
My Grandfather, Grandmother, Female Cousin and myself were riding along Atlantic Avenue of the LIRR Station of East New York when all of sudden, the wheel in the back of the Citroen on the passenger’s side came completely off and laid flat on the ground
Thank God no one was hurt
So my Grandmother actually got her wish of no more Citroen
My Grandmother told my Grandfather, the next car, let it be one to get in and drive off
So the Citroen became history
But what was the other car my Grandfather got, I will let that be a mystery
So I got the French experience on wheels
The Citroen being no more
It is all memorable with a reflection galore.

It is a place I call home
It has that name that is well known
But plenty of space for everybody to roam
However, that is only part of my story
There is a station called LOCUST MANOR
It is a Long Island Railroad stop
The station is elevated high on top
What makes this station circumstance today?
Back in the 1800’s Locust Manor was the way
The difference today composed to yesteryear, the station was flat and on the ground with railroad crossing on the street
It was history where the station would meet
You could say it was a welcome greet
But there’s more
Now let me continue in my writing ways
What do there are off and a bet have in common?
Do you have the answer?
Well let me help you
It associates with the Jamaica Horse Racking Track

This was all possible by the pioneers in their trade

Main floor to attic
Chanting heard
A reason to panic
It wasn’t any blowing wind
All through the house
A family wasn’t alone, and it was more than a living mouse
A spirit returned in ghost form who lived prior in the house
Enters through hallways, doors, walls and roofs
A ghost that is foul proof
A sudden family actually saw
It was Benjamin Stein himself in the spirit
He was murdered in the house many years ago
It was a fortune that Mr. Stein had
He didn’t will it to his Wife, and he was killed just like that
The mystery to it, no one suspected his wife and she roams free
Mr. Stein holding so much hate and wants to haunt
So much unrest with no confess
Unforgiven
Ghostly ways
Eerie voice
Shaking of heavy chains
Cracks upon cracks throughout the house structure
Tormenting
From Eternity
Determined chant
“Get Out”
Frightful
Wonder far yonder
Family asked Mr. Stein, why have you returned?
Haunt anyone who chooses to live in this house
Suddenly an ***** played with a ring of a bell
It was midnight precise
Mr. Stein gave this only advice, “Move Out”
This could be your end
The ghostly Stein then laughs and disappears

Who would be the champion at the end?
Even though the Greyhound Dog is known for speed
Nonetheless, let’s proceed
Greyhound is Challenger A, Trailways is challenger B and Coach USA is challenger C
So let the race begin
The three bus companies are all set
Does anyone care to wager a bet?
This is as good as its going to get
The bus companies are off
Down Interstate 95, Greyhound takes the lead
But hold on, Trailways takes the stead
You would have thought the highway was a track
But there is no fact
Coach USA is mad and decides to speed up
But from the look of things, the Coach USA Driver looks fed up
Coach USA is now in the lead
But only for a short moment
Greyhound swiftly takes the lead
The bus companies are ever inching towards the finish line
Who will win?
How about that, it turns out to be a tie
Yet Greyhound, Trailways and Coach USA are all quality bus companies
But the race proves, it takes skills to drive a bus, and being masterful in safety all being a plus.

I am blessed that I wasn’t called. My name could have been written in the memorial. Yet, I feel sorrow for all those that did lose their lives and the families left behind without their love ones. I loss some friends in 9/11. God is good as I am covered under his Mercy and Grace.

The hour and that precise minute
Precision at every turn
Shows how the world can turn upside down
Lives that were never found
Devastation and ash having the final sound
We honor the loss being their story, and now they are in glory
It also states never take life for granted
We don’t know what will take place in our lives
Today and Tomorrow is not promised to any of us
Life is precious and time continues to revolve
But are keeping in touch with living love ones on a Daily basis?
Having that I don’t care is not the right vibe to keep
God’s sake
The Almighty being the key
Being the amaze who deserves all the praise
You are still living, and lift those hands in God’s Grace and Mercy
Still among
Today is the day to say Thank You
Today being your reminder to remember
Today is your daily to always pray
Relish the air and seeing the skies as if for the first time
Take a moment to just recognize
Goodness comes from Heaven to your heart

Live and keep living
You had been given the spiritual lift
Don’t go astray being a drift
Living with every breathing second is considered being Heaven’s gift
