On this day of February 2
My reflection back to reckon
The number is 68
Numerical to appreciate
When I think of all my trials and tribulations
My hand is raised in PRAISE without hesitation
Walking in my own blessing
Mercy and Grace
Honor from Heaven
Chosen
Death could have stopped by
Living with every try
When the praises go up, the blessings come down
Living and Breathing Among
Father in Heaven, you are the one
Thank you for life and guided advice
Spiritual like sugar and spice
Firm Foundation

Wordy puncture
Sentence banding around the wound
Get Well approach
Maybe a joke or two here and there
Blood pouring from the soul
Painful felt
Surrounded dealt
Allegorizing thought
Let the thought just soothe
Healing is the key
Emotions of anguish
The Band-aid a healer’s helpful friend
Sentence the band-aid over the cut
Stay put
Band-aid bandage
Approach Poet control
Let heal
For real

Christmases back from time
Peace and Joy
I remember getting lots of toys
I was raised with love from my Grandparents
They instilled in me being assurance
We lived on Pacific Street in Brooklyn, New York
It was a Two Family Brownstone
But throughout my life, I felt never alone
Christmas seem to brighten our house
We had an Artificial Christmas Tree with rotating multi-colored Spotlight circling the tree
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad passenger train set welcomed Christmas in and the Guest who arrived at my house
Christmas Cards would be hung all along the walls
My Grandmother would be preparing the meals for Christmas Day the night before
It would Turkey, Ham and many assortments
The deserts would be Two Layer Cakes, Ice Cream and Sweet Potato Pies
I see when I mentioned deserts your eyes seems to rise
Now if you are on a diet, eat today and diet tomorrow
Of course, I had to have a piece of cake
It was give or take
Even Santa wouldn’t lose weight, as he would have gotten even bigger
Did I say bigger?
How would Santa fit coming down the chimney?
I won’t comment, as Ms. Claus is the seamstress
So it was Happy Holiday celebrations in my house
Family and Friends would rejoice
We would sing Christmas Carols being our voice
But I will never forget the significance of what Christmas was all about
Baby Jesus, North Star and Peace and goodwill towards men along with blessings
I often miss those Christmases from way back
But I hold them close to my heart for safekeeping
Now where is my Eggnog?
Holiday Cheer to one and all
Christmas is almost near, but have no fear

Understand, Reflect and Respond
Stand up on principles
Respond on action
Movement
Turn injustice to equal justice
Dr. King fought hard and travelled far
Journey’s beyond
His dream to look upon
We must believe we can
Our hearts must transcend
Turn the pave of Racism into togetherness as one
Remember Dr. Kings struggles
Never tire
We must gain access
Prosecution unseen
Dr. King’s voice shouted anguished
The movement that was determined
His vision of Civil Rights
Dr. King is our inspiration
Our former President Obama words, “Yes we can and shall”
We must maintain our fight in always exercising our rights
The powers that be want all races to go back into time of then
The world needs to understand, we went forward, and can’t go back
Dr. King wasn’t about separation, but bringing all races together in harmony
The light seems to keep dimming, and we can’t let it diminish
Once in darkness, always in darkness
Washington seems to have closed its eyes
We the American people must realize
Stand up for the cause
We still have work to do that Dr. King couldn’t finish
He sits high and is looking down
What happened to the people I fought for
We must rule Racism out
It wasn’t easy for Dr. King and it won’t be easy again
It’s a purpose and demand
We are all one on America’s land
Like I said earlier, Dr. King’s message for us is UNDERSTAND, REFLECT and RESPOND
Don’t let Dr. King’s dream die out
We are his dream, and we must fulfill
Continue to prevail without fail
Follow Dr. King’s trail
It is more important than ever before
We can’t go backwards
Together, we need to overcome and shall be determined
Dr. King saw the dream
We must embrace his efforts
We need to see a better tomorrow
Reflect back, but only for the moment
We shall overcome, one day
Through God’s help, we will fulfill.

Soldier in and Soldier out
Missions upon missions is what war is all about
You were once a Soldier and continue to be

Situation and Circumstance
Walking through a storm feeling afraid
On that very day, I was among a storm full of lightning, Thunder, winds and pouring rain
It felt like Heaven’s rage on the Earth
It came to mind a cleansing
Being in the middle with no shelter to run to nor go under
I felt danger
A voice unspeakable, but knew it was far away and said “Don’t be afraid I won’t harm”
It was a voice certainly wasn’t human, but there was a message
Heaven’s calling
I knew the storm I had to go through and withstand
A God’s kingdom test

The outcry of mysterious
The mind seemingly just being curious
Lightning flashed and the Thunder continued to crack in echoing distance sounds
Inner and enter felt like a rush
All I could do was just hush and be silent
I saw numerous lightning bolts simultaneously being everywhere at the same time in streaks
I witnessed it all
It seemed like a reminder in never be afraid, but always assured
Soulful overcast, but never alone
When I finally got home, my Mother asked me how did I make it through the storm?
She was worried, but saw my face showing inspired
My response, God has ways and understanding becomes education
Lesson never forgotten
Able to weather any storm being an actual storm or storms of life.

A Black Church
Christianity search
A Preaching Pastor
A sermon ever after
Congregation praise
The spirit in its amaze
Amen here and there
Lifted praise involved, but was the Amen Corner sincere?
Amen would spread throughout the church building
The Pastor would often wonder
Is Heaven hearing yonder
Nonetheless, the Amen would be established
The sermon accomplished
Spiritual words heard
Feed my sheep is God’s purpose with a mission from the Pastor
Lifted voices ringing high to Heaven’s highest
Goodness comes out
It is often a praising shout
The Amen has it
Glory to the Father name that fits.

Places to be, but have I arrived?
Every defeat a discouragement
Every teardrop farther from achievement
What seems close is a distance
Yet within reach
Determined search
Responsibility in action
At times thinking failure
But that is a bad picture
I must overcome
Lonesome
I will do it alone
This is a conquest

Pounded louder in should
The spotlight of my own soul
But wait
I am the wonder and yonder
Walked where others dared
Believe in me
I am what you see
Forgive me
Just let it be

Journey and Following
Finding who I am
Reclining back in my Greyhound bus seat
My miles will be long
Keeping a travel log
Thinking on my life along the way

My Greyhound bus showing me the way
I know I will be ok
Destination straight and on target
Determined soul
The threshold
Journey on and observe
Expectancy becoming reality
Life’s learning moments
Knowing who I am and the will to fulfill.

No specific place
Perhaps when Dinosaur’s were the human race
Finding footprints in the sand
Perhaps an encounter on land
Maybe go into outer space exploring planets being our own trace
Let’s go back to the time when you were born
A moment at birth when you were awakening from a yond
Then again, let’s look into biblical, the day the Earth was created
We could actually see the darkness turning into light
We could admire the stars shining bright
We would learn the true meaning of life
Then discover the reason and purpose behind advice
What is the true ingredient behind Sugar and Spice
Now that we are finally back
I hope you were keeping track
We discovered that history is more than fact
We learned through exploration being in tact
But we had the opportunity to venture back.

Christmas flowing through the air
Children’s hearts wait for Santa to appear
Reindeers ready
Rudolph holding steady
Christmas Trees stand tall and bright
Wiseman followed the North Star during the night

Winter winds
Christmas Day commerce
Friends and Family cheer
Christmas is finally here
The reason for the season
A Holy Birth
Peace and goodwill to all
Good Night

A friend stopped by
Refreshing breeze to the senses
Sitting alone I knew I wasn’t alone
Thoughts came to mind and was inspired
Ideas of some sort
Each and every whisk of the wind was encouraging
The skies whose clouds were wise
I was visualizing eye to eye
My mind then focused on reset
The wind alone had that effect
Friendly voices seem to echo through the breezes
All I could say was “What a relieve”
Sad at one moment and transformed into happy the next
Every look up at the sky seeing beauty that surrounded me
All I could see
The breezes and intertwine
All came together being genuine
Life in realize the breezes showed
The wind became an everlasting friend
Every breeze for all time
I was feeling and living it being a worthy gift
Fantastic thrift

Be Merry like a cherry
The starts that hangs above
The Baby Jesus to think of
Be guided by Heaven’s light
Think of the wise men having the star in sight
Truly and Completely
Happy Holiday wholeheartedly

It’s time for a sing along
Engage and feel the belong
When you feel down, just do a sing along
The holidays are about coming together in joy
Blessings to see
Don’t take it from me

Sugar and spice nice
Feel the Christmas love
All provided from above
Laughter breaking into cheer
You have entered the Christmas atmosphere
Cheers
Christmas preserver
Lifting my Eggnog glass to all
Hold the Christmas warmth near
Merry Christmas Cheer

Think before you write
You have been going through a plight
Yet your emotion will shed some light
Add the sentences that will surface might
Perhaps mentioning the sunshine in how your thoughts came bright
It was during that very night
You were alone
The sky was clear and full of stars
You visualized and imagined seeing Mars
The words held true
But you thought that this was nothing new
However, it seemed like it was a clue
I know now, it was writing for me to pursue

Echoing voices can be heard from Former President Obama, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Medgar Wiley Evers and numerous other Afro American pioneers
It’s time to preserver

We kneel in asking God for our guidance
Forward being strong in onward
Turning for years struggle into victory
America’s continuation story
Faith moves mountains
Our climb full of endurance
Heaven’s guidance our assurance.

Our Forefathers before us gave a good fight
We must continue the action for today and way into the future
We can’t sit back and wonder
We must make change happen
Our lives came from before, and we are anecdote in the after
We are the multitudes
There cannot not be any Civil Rights conclude
Together we can bring America to soothe
No win or lose principle
Our forefathers want us to be determined to fulfill
Changing Hatred, Killings and non-acceptance of Race
Step out and continue the movement
All Races need to come together as one
One day our rise
Today to energize
The uplifted outcome
Together we must stand.

Changes in the atmosphere
Mobile throughout the Hemisphere
What’s in the Crystal Ball?
Imagination on accelerate
What the mind can create
Transformation stories into motion
Cruising on the ocean
Running fast trying to escape
I am confronted with King Kong the Ape
If I could fly having wings to travel where ever in global delight
Pulsating in my own authority
A Trap Door leading to nowhere
So I keep falling and falling into endless
I become totally breathless
Seeing possibilities come to life
Being a Counselor give advice
Dreams showing illusions
A beginning with no conclusions
Yonder are my dreams, but my own horizon I see
Dreams having dreams showing my own destiny
It’s anywhere being a city
Rising with no self-pity
Come to my mind and show me the way
Help not to wander and go astray
Dreams into dreaming
Sleep comfortably in peace
Be at ease
Dreams with dreams can only please

Tears beyond pour
Heart sour
Anguished words and thoughts
I question my well being
Seeming with no prosper
All I hear is words, but no encouragement
Only just
No must
Standing alone for myself
I am beaten and torn within my own battle
No victory, but defeat
Perhaps I am scornful and doubtful
Life on end
I yell but my voice echoes back
I shout for help
It became a yield
Some see it as useless and no pity
The until for too long
The Heaven’s see me as wonderful
I see myself dreadful
I thirst, but can’t drink
My mind wanders into no think
I am like a dead rose with no suppose
Death seems to be my trademark
One scar into numerous
Tormented no more.

The Chosen One’s

Burning the midnight oil
Compose in construct
Writing at times when in the trash
There were even moments, I simply wanted to dash
But looking for words took longer than I ever would have imagined
Hours pass, and found myself falling asleep, so much for sleepless
But during that sleep, there was a knock at the door in my head
It was words telling me “Wake Up Wake Up”
We have word to do
They were telling me, you are far from being done
The words said, “Write this down”
The time is too write, but not think on slumber
Sentences certainly came to mind
Words after words became another
The writer was writing like no other
The words and sentences have found a true love writer
It’s a matter of believe and formulate
The focus of words to create
The Writer realized, he had the love of writing all along
The writer said, “This is where I belong”
Sleepless through endless time
The Writer achieved within his own thoughts
His now captured sipping on some wine
This is a special occasion, and I can celebrate and dine
Words continued to come even after
North, South, East and West
Words from the Writer says best
“Writing is what is enhanced, it becomes the opportunity. The Heart and Mind say, and words that come out. It’s words through the meanings. There is a reason to be sleepless
But writing being sleepless until
The mind flourishing on will

The Lord awakened
Let me take you on a journey
A place I promised
Close up look of Heaven
Far beyond Earth
Round Trip
Leave Earth with a return back to Earth
Out of Body experience
The Lord being the narrator with influence
The Flight with the Lord
Through the galaxy steadily on target to Heaven
The Lord said, “This is Heaven” and showed me around, but only the outside
If I had gone completely in, the Lord would have had to take me then and there
As the Lord decreed, “Flesh and Blood shall never enter Heaven”
The Lord only wanted me to see what Heaven looked like, and as long as I continue to follow him, Heaven is where I shall be
My everlasting home
Joy and Peace roam

Not a worry, but only a care praise
Majestic and beauty
Spiritual Streets
Amazed and full of praise
I asked the Lord in how soon could I arrive?
The Lord’s answer, it is not your time as I had living still to do on Earth
I responded, I must go back to that nasty Earth
The Lord’s response was Yes, but said don’t be saddened in time you will

What an opportunity and honor in being chosen by the Mighty One for the journey
I didn’t feel deserving, but the Lord thought otherwise
I will never forget that moment
As you are reading, I didn’t forget but sharing the experience
My out of body experience returned to my fleshy body, and I woke up with a praising as a blessing
Thank you Lord for the exploration.

The test of time
Turn of the centuries
Living then into now
Planning for tomorrow

Doubt on the mind with no assurance
Thought of tomorrow to be
A wait and see
Preparing and embracing

The Banner is clear
Poet’s hold words that closely dear

Midnight

Mind over the Pen and Paper
The thought of end became transcend
Encouraged alpha Letters
Writing came to be
Look at what you see
Words and me

I am sure it wasn’t me
But let me bus illustrate in me for you to see
It happened when I was a little Tot
But I was little I didn’t know how to even tie a knot
Yet it was that very day when my Aunt took me shopping at Macy’s Herald Square
It was Yellow School buses that started me from there
My bus enthusiasm seemed to come alive
I am serious with no jive
There were all these all Marquee Eyes moving back and forth
Accompanied with a Stack of Yellow School buses, you know who had to have one
But wait, and I am not done
So I picked up one of the yellow school buses in sheer delight
Unknowingly to my Aunt, the bus in my hand was going to be her plight
My Aunt later discovered the bus was in my hand, and demanded that I put the bus back
As a Tot, I wanted that bus to be in my stack
Of course I refused to put back
My Aunt tried to take the bus from my hand, and I held onto that bus for dear life
As a Tot I didn’t offer any advice
My Aunt was forced to buy that specific bus, and that was nice
So my bus history ventured from there
I am Greyhound at heart, and it was that Hound Dog that the impression on my mark
Now its move forward, and only reflect for a moment
My time is bus time
My inspiration extends for a lifetime.

Voices I the distance
Perhaps a coincidence
But the voices are real
It’s not a conceal
Heaven could be talking too me
The voices are clear you see
The sounding words are everything they should be
Rise Up and Venture out
Don’t be afraid
This is how legends are made
But the Heavenly One that creates the shade
Heaven is making me think
An idea, which causes me to wink
Heaven’s knowledge being educated wise
The feel of confidence all filled with energize
Words from yonder
Nothing for me to ponder
I no longer need to wonder

Teenage years
It wasn’t any easy preserver
I was never in gangs nor the **** route
Bullied to no end
Everything was why?
Never could figure out
It seemed like an adjustment period
Times of fuss
Fights upon Fights
Life seemed to fall into place
The word Prosper became meaning
Sunshine became an embracing warmth
Fresh air pure
Wonder flourished into understanding
Wisdom a solid sustaining
A new day in a better tomorrow
I am proud and head up dignity
Life I never thought I would see
Here I am
Forever graceful
No Doubt
Honest and true
My purpose is a pursue
Really nothing new
I just had to find myself
Had to overcome from the reflection back

Time is short
Times waits for no one
Now or never

Day has become Dark unexpected
This is the hour
Time has stopped like a stop Watch
Movement is at ease
The End of the World
Shame brought to the Earth
Deceit has ended the new birth
Enriched in sorrow
The concluded tomorrow
No time to pray
Evil in and out
Don’t shout
Voices with no ears too echo
No one will hear nor listen
The Evil Soul shines with glisten
You showed doubt having no hope
No assurance for cope
You tried suicide
But that didn’t work out
You tried to drink Peroxide
But nothing poured out
You stand alone being alone
There is nothing for you to say
You can’t be saved
You didn’t behave
You must perish
Be must be punished
Forgotten no more
This I am sure
Death is your destiny
Destruction the final victory
You were never born
Your name has been deleted
Your despair shackled by defeat
The Earth and your Soul totally dissolved

I know a place
A secrete horizon
It’s often talked about
No one knows if it is East, West, North or South
Yet it is pure
It is Heaven
A place I want to be
But when the time is right
A place of peace and praise
Thinking on Heaven and God’s amaze
But, I must wait
It won’t be a hesitate
It will be arrival into my new home
The ringing of the trumpet and bell
It will be my time in tell
Yet, I must wait
I am looking to the prize
However, while on Earth, I must realize
Faith is the key to energize
Rejoice and let your heart be filled with joy
As I wait, let me prepare
God sits high above in the air
Transform and transcend my soul
Be ready
Wait just wait
Heaven I want to see
It will be Me and Thee

Was I meant to visualize?
Is my mind wanting me too think realize
In my dream, I saw stars twinkled
Maybe it was only a nightmare
But ambition and mission seemed to appear
Being honest I felt some fear
For some strange reason, I am holding this dream dear
The stars angle was more than one would wish
But my heart beat faster with a surge of inspiration in swish
Hope was somewhere
It was beyond my own compare
Perhaps my dream teaching me in what I can expect
As you can see this dream had some kind of effect
Then again, my thoughts on doubt in not believing
Expectations in what I should be receiving
Yet the dream was like fulfilling
But somewhere I must be willing
Understanding what my destiny is
An assignment I had to be willing to do and accept
But hope kept coming up in mind
Yet now was I getting more fed up
But something said, “Be Still”
There is something that going to be fulfill
Before I knew it, the dream fulfilled and came to pass
“Encourage others and be a vessel in my honor”
My first thought was a Motivator, but there was more than that
It was a Spiritual Advisor
That honor was God’s glory with guidance that became my story
After I woke up, and was truly inspired by higher means
A dream of motivation
The spirit of rejuvenation

Red setting the holiday scene
Coordination of White
The thought of Mr. S
Season’s Greetings enthused
A gift for every Girl and boy
What a joy
Names on every shopping list
Some people you might miss
Joy of the holiday
Wishes coming everybody’s way
Santa with a dazzle of his Red and White
Perhaps snowflakes make the holiday a delight
A child’s dream
Santa and his Reindeer flying high and broad
Twinkle little star
The Wise Men who travelled far
Christmas Eve night
Little one’s sleep tight
This is a holiday that always shine bright.

Growing up my favorite words was I can’t without ever trying
My Grandfather always assured in his wisdom words as there is no such thing as can’t unless you try and it is proven
That’s where I put to the test in seeing first hand of can’t in trying being the truth
That was a strong matter my Grandfather set forth
If anybody has felt the way I saw can’t without making a movement in the effort, then this poem message is just for you
You must pursue
Can’t is only a substance in you won’t
Not will to try
Try becomes the effort of discovering
In fact, one is only defeating themselves in not seeing the reasoning in purpose
Be confident and prove to yourself without a matter of doubt
Show yourself you are willing to try, and see how it turns out by advancing into assurance of committing
Effort is what should come out into possibilities with mind over matter
Can’t is doubt
Effort is assurance
I hope being the example being your uplifting influence
The effort made
A can’t be done should be an effort in precise.

Moving on up to the sky
I often wondered with a why?
Perhaps being Heaven’s Thine
Nonetheless, I must move out
The Economy made a change
My whole life I had to rearrange
The thought of my life living on luxury
I am thinking on mystery
It comes down to me becoming humble and saying I am poor
I remember when my life flourished before in soar
My life will one day rebound
Imagine my time becoming an inspirational testimony praising sound
I maybe moving out
But Heaven gives me blessings to talk about

Powerful and sustained
Biblical words that will always remain
True
Just pursue
The future in the Almighty hands
Everything at his command
Promises are always honest
Blessings are true
The journey that needs to pursue
Merciful and Kind
A Holy Man that is genuine
Blessed it Assurance
Enriched influence
Changeable skies
No changeable ways
Guiding light with understanding
Yesterday’s struggle
Tomorrows overcome
Praying vintage
Daily chore
A need to explore
No ignore
A Lord here and everywhere
The Holy One is the preserver

Voices of extraordinary
Contributions past
Their actions in determination and preparation
Wisdom and knowledge
Their honor in privilege
Leverage Mind
Standing up and challenging
Overcoming principles that bind
Turning foe into woe
Swimming to the surface of creations without drowning
Knowing what they know in how to use it
Overlooking although
Believing, Can and Shall
Legacy has spoken
Their words are far more than a token
Each letter in encouraging vibes spoken
Soulful status
They are all distinguished
Legacy stands
Their sunrise to think and our sunset in continuation
They left their mark in sensation
Follow their footsteps in direction
Through patience and time
Society won’t be kind
Legacy says we are all genuine.

Explored the USA countryside
The beauty and elegance within provide
I visited historical homes where famous people resided
Seeing state after state
Within those states where history relate
My heart felt appreciate
A time to reflect and deviate
Saw hills that were mountains
Captured waterfalls that were like fountains
Travel I dreamed about
All I can do is reflect with a happy shout
Blessed to be able to travel
So much to take in, it was gravel
There is so much to see in America before traveling abroad
But travelling has made me aware and assured
It’s a blessing that can only come from the Lord

Not a magic carpet flying in varying directions
But it is a journey well taken
Distance far
It doesn’t involve using a car
It’s the inner thought
Words that just come to mind
At times it might seem sublime
But it’s the Poet being one of a kind
No one can tell a story unless one truly has one
It doesn’t mean end before it is done
Poet establishes until complete in being among
Yet the Poet’s flavor is about fun
After all, they are next to none
Travel in the in the mind can be anywhere
Experiences to share beyond compare
Emotion from the heart
But that is only one start
A Poet is always on the move
It’s the words within the sentences to prove
It’s the comfort being the soothe
The feeling of on the beach
It’s the shore meeting the Poet in reach
The ocean extending wisdom in teach
So this is the Poet’s Whole New World
This is what turns the heart into swirl
Journey on into the possibilities
A Poet is the one that creates realities

This is about encouraging an Ex-Con
It doesn’t mean make them feel like they are a no body
The Ex-Con is human just like you and me
We have done things in our lives that were wrong, but managed to make it right
No one is born to go to jail
No one should be considered in making a mistake being a fail
Fulfill inspiration within the heart
Give hope with cope
Provide sound analysis like a scope
Emphasize the goodness and not the bad in what the Ex-Con had committed
Don’t give the Ex-Con false hopes, but be honest in helping them achieve

I was travelling on a Greyhound Bus from Tampa, Florida to New York City being a vacation in Tampa
As we began to pull out from the Departure Gate, we were stopped by two Correction Officers releasing an Inmate
He boarded our bus where he was getting off in Orlando, Florida
He sat next to me being the only seat available, and the inmate stated he was an Ex-Con and hoped I didn’t mine him seating next to me
I told him not a problem, and he had already served his time, and I also told him, he didn’t need a reminder, but I was going to be inspiration
I did state, I hope you learned from your mistake

The two hours he was on a journey, it was the time I did my best to encourage the young man
He expressed and explained the situation of why he went to jail
I listened as if I was his Dad
But he was a very educated young lad
I saw promise
Yes I am being honest
The young lad showed me his Resume
He had accomplished a lot and had College before prison
I strongly recommended that he stay away from his Cousin who was the reason he went to jail
The young lad was definitely going back home immediately to Cleveland, Ohio
The Ex-Con explained how Florida jails were harsh on Inmates
So the idea of an Ex-Con is promise, but not all will be honest nor make an effort
But the Ex-Con young lad showed me he wanted to make good
I didn’t have a doubt in his could
However, I did emphasize it wouldn’t be easy, but stay focused and be determined
Present yourself in any interview with direct presentation of yourself being who you are and not what prison made you
That was my advice to the Ex-Con.

Do you know why you were sent here?
You don’t understand
I am your King and bow down to me
You were sent too be tormented
I am your inner soul raised from the dead
Corrupt and destruction I stir
You are bitter and full of deceit
I said it once and will not repeat
I will instill my rage on you, and you will get a peek
You were summoned for my bidding
You are now my slave, and I am for your taking
I control all your thoughts
You and no one can defeat me
Look into eyes and see
Your heart is mine
Every beating moment is my blood within
You are breathless and motionless
Rise to me from your soul
You are now my threshold
I reign and rule the world
Watch as world revolves in swirl
Revolve Revolve Revolve
Worldwide destruction, which no one can solve
I have the power to control
Anguish beyond measure
Destroying the world would be my pleasure
You are at my command
As your king, this is my demand
You are no longer on secrete land

Look up
The wonder through the mysteries
Seeing but not understanding
A voice from the skies
Recognizable
Words beyond mortal man
The speech from Heaven
Guide from a far
Mysterious being obvious
Mind becomes curious
Heaven got your attention
Through the Thunder and Lightning illustration
The response, “Oh Lord”
What do you ask of me?
You are my miracle
Be bold and tell
I will give you the words in what to say, and how to say it
Wonder not, but be assured
I am the Lord.

A little babe on the edge of Death
Doctor’s version of not much time left
In fact, Doctors stated boldly to prepare for a Funeral
No Funnel through uncertainty like a dark tunnel
A Grandmother with strong Faith prayed and asked the Lord about her Grandson in what the Doctor’s mentioned
The Lord responded that her Grandson will live, and be an inspiration to all for years to come
Your Grandson will bring joy and comfort in your later years
He will be one who will always persevere
That little Babe was me the Poet who wrote
I am standing and will continue
Faith and Assurance made it all possible
The Lord I stand
Life I commit
My testimony expressed throughout the land.
