As we celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, May it be a day of Peace.  May love always abound; may it never cease.
It would be so wonderful, if we don't hear anything about shooting, violence and killings.  It will make our hearts rejoice, and it will be so thrilling.
May we make his Birthday, a day of laughter and fun.  Not just for a few, may it be for everyone.
May we take this day, to lay all prejudice aside.  May we not cause another soul, to shed tears, from running eyes.
Let's give Mothers and Fathers a break, from hearing any bad news.  Think of happy ways, how you can be used.
On this special day, allow his "Dream" to come true.  With the "Changing of the Guards," do the best you can do.

IN MY FATHER'S IMAGE
If you want an image of my earthly father, look at the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.  My father was also a Minister, and taught his nine children to sing.
He also played the guitar, along with my Mom playing the piano.  If we had an engagement, we were ready to go.
He was a humble man; he didn't want anyone's feelings hurt.  In our house we could not even whisper, so we had to be alert.
On Sundays he would preach the word of God, as well as pray.  On a very long bench seated, is where his nine children had to stay.
I loved my father, very, very much.  He loved his children, and you better not touch.
As we celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday, I have so much to say.  May his "Dream" forever live on, and nothing hinders the way.

TAKING A PILL
Why would you take a pill, that cause you to commit suicide?  Wake up and observe, what's before your eyes?
Why would you take a pill, to cause your eyes to go blind?  Why take a chance, to pick them up, waiting in a long line?
Why would you take a pill, to cause you to have diarrhea?  Why do you want to dehydrate your body, hoping it will disappear?
Why would you take a pill, that could cause you memory lost?  It will not be worth it, no matter the cost.
Why would you take a pill, that can damage every nerve?  It's important what I'm writing, and that  every word be heard.

TO BE SOMEBODY IN SPITE OF
You can be somebody, in spite of what people say.  Make sure you carry yourself in a manner, when you rise each day.
You can be somebody, don't be afraid of fear.  God created us to be bold, to make it through each year.
You can be somebody, be a good example, before us all.  Then you'll be able to answer, when somebody makes a call.
You can be somebody, learn to be your best.  When you go to sleep at night, you'll be able to rest.
You can be somebody, watch your appearance out in the streets.  You never know who you may run into, not knowing who you will meet.

Will we live another year, putting bodies in the grave.  Something really need to be done, about those people being saved.
We need to pray to God, to turn these bad things around.  Enough with the gangs, shooting and killings, allowing men to be bound.
With all the knowledge men possess; you mean they can't come up with a plan?  Something need to be quickly done, before no one is found, within our hurting land.
No gangs, no shooting and no more killings will bring about a big change.  I have one question, how can this be arranged?

A YEAR TO FOCUS ON GOD
Let's make this year, to travel a brand new road.  Allow yourself to focus on God; He'll help you carry your load.
So many things aim to bring us down.  If we begin to focus, God will come around.
Things all around us should provoke us to pray.  What a relief to have someone, to move articles out of your way.
Let's forget about, the pains and hurts of our past.  God can soothe your mind, so the memories don't have to last.
In order to meditate , God can give you peace.  If there are things troubling you, it takes God to cause them to cease.

JUST BECAUSE THEY DID IT
Just because they did it, tell me why did you?  It's not good to copy, what you see others do.
Just because they did it, you do not have to drink.  It's important to keep your brain cells, so you'll be able to think.
Just because they did it, tell me why do you have to smoke.  Next thing you know, you'll be hooked on dope.
Just because they did it, why do you choose to ****?  Your so called friends knew how to catch you, so they used you as bait.

DON'T TAKE THE PLACE OF GOD
SOME DOCTORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN, TO TAKE THE PLACE OF GOD.  AFTER GOD HAS HAD ENOUGH , HE WILL HAVE TO USE HIS ROD.
IT'S UP TO GOD TO TAKE A LIFE, TO GO HOME TO BE WITH HIM.  SOME DOCTORS HAVE BEEN KNOWN, TO TAKE A LIFE, TO CAUSE A PERSON'S EYES TO GO DIM.  
IT'S UP TO GOD, TO TAKE A LIFE, ON A CHOSEN DAY.  SOME  DOCTORS THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL, ONLY GETTING  IN GOD'S WAY.
IT'S UP TO GOD, TO TAKE A LIFE, AT ANY APPOINTED TIME.  INSTEAD OF LETTING GOD HAVE HIS WAY, SOME DOCTORS BEGIN TO EXPERIMENT WITH THEIR UNINTERESTED MIND.

WHERE'S YOUR FAITH
Why do you worry, about things out of your control?  You need to dismiss all fear, and stand up and be bold.
Why do you worry, about the things of tomorrow?  Have faith that God will provide, so you don't have to borrow.
Why do you worry, about the days ahead. " Tomorrow is not promised to us;" we could end up dead.
Why do you worry, and negative words you say?  When God already provided, and made a way out of no way.

THE HABIT OF BEGGING
It would be nice, to get rid of habits, the ones you cannot afford.  This would be the right time, to turn it over to the Lord.
There is a gentleman, who loves to beg, far away from a crowd.  But  when he sees you coming, he began to pray real loud.
He has one objective in mind, because he knows he's going to beg.  I give in, and provide him money; I know he has to be fed.
I really get tired of people, asking anybody for a cigarette.  This is one habit that they posses, that really get you upset.

SOMETHING ABOUT A LIAR
There is something about a liar, that God says he hate.  He refuse to have him stand before Him, on any given date.
There is something about a liar, that really makes you mad.  The lies that he tells, are really, really sad.
There is something about a liar, you refuse to be around.  Just to look at them, it pulls your Spirit down.
There is something about a liar, that drains your energy.  Deep down inside, it's not what you want to be.
There is something about a liar, they know how to dig up dirt.  They are the ones, who usually get hurt.

RUFUSE OTHERS TO BIND YOU
Don't be bound, by those who would bind you.  Fight to remain free, in everything you do.
Don't be bound, by those who would hold you back.  No matter the pressure, please don't allow them, to cause you to crack.
Don't be bound, by those who do not care.  You can find these people, just about everywhere.
Don't be bound, by those who would get you high.  Keep your mind clean, so you don't have to die.
Don't be bound, by those who live to fight.  Stand up and be bold, to the things you know are right.

You choose the road you travel, it can be the right road or the left.  If you choose the wrong road, only danger will be felt.
You choose the road you travel, make sure it's the right one.   Or, you can end up on the wrong path, with weight heavy as a ton.
You choose the road you travel, make sure the road is not bad.  The only thing down that road, are things to make you sad.
You choose the road you travel, why not choose the road of Peace?  You will find only contentment, the kind that will never cease.

THE WRONG PATH
Why did you take the wrong path, you knew it would cause pain?  Why did you choose this path; you had nothing to gain?
Why did you take the wrong path, landing you in jail?  Make sure you get on the right path, so your Soul don't end up in Hell.
Why did you take the wrong path, filled with alcohol and drugs?  Living in a place not clean, all you could see is bugs.
Why did you take the wrong path, hanging out with those who start trouble?  When you really need them, you'll be left alone, as in a big bubble.

I'm not you, and you are not me; I notice you are in *******, but I am totally free.
I'm not you, and you are not me, I refuse to walk with a hung down head, as if looking for a fee.

Don't put me down, because you are insecure.  You don't know what I've been through, or what I had to endure.
Don't put me down, because I care about man.  Whatever I do; I do the best I can.
Don't put me down, because I go out of my way.  I don't want to see people neglected, as they live from day to day.
Don't put me down, because you failed to do your part.  Whatever I do, it comes directly from the heart.
Don't put me down, because I have confidence.  I shun any and everything, that may cause offense.

The decisions you make, should always be wise.  Never keep them hidden, but right before your eyes.
The decisions you make will affect all those ahead.  Whenever you speak, remember what you said.

Are you afraid of hiding, in the cold and the dark?  Why not give God a chance, to give you a shinning mark?

Are you ready, to get out of the gangs?  Why not give God a chance, to give you a new name.

A CHANGING BODY
What's happening to me, now that I'm getting old?  Sometimes I find myself hot, and again I am cold.
Is this what I have to look forward to, a body of constant pain?  May something be done right away, I don't want to end up insane?
Being that I'm getting old, my body is no longer aligned. There seem to be shooting pain, up and down my spine.
Now that I'm getting old, my eyes are going dim.  I must see an optometrist, to take good care of them.
Now that I'm getting old, I must try to keep a sound mind.  I must remember to get plenty of rest, so I can awake on time.

What can we do, to turn this world around?  Who will step up to the plate, to pull all prejudice down?
What can we do, to get rid of drugs?  Instead of bringing it to the light, stop sweeping it under a rug.
What can we do, to stop giving our young people strong drinks?  They really need their brain cells, so they can be able to think.
What can we do, to stop people from getting ****?  This should be first on our list, we should quickly make this a date.

There are so many homeless people, who have to sleep with their children in a car.  Because of the lack of money, they are not allowed to travel far.
There are so many homeless people, to proud to ask for help.  All the things that may be of value, no one knows where they are kept.

The mirror gives me a chance, to see how I look.  It shows me if I'm honest, or a no good crook.
The mirror gives me a chance, to make sure everything is in place.  Because of being born in a particular family, I can check out my race.
The mirror gives me a chance, to improve imperfections  I see.  This will allow me to be comfortable, in just being me.
The mirror gives me a chance, not to observe others around.  It gives me an opportunity to see me, making the decision, to add on, or to take something down.
The mirror gives me a chance, to correct what is not right.  I can only see this, as I turn on the light.

They see so much tragedy, and things that are unreal.  Everyday they look into the faces, of those who are killed.
When our men and women return back home, they are not the same.  Some have been known, not to remember their name.

What if people helped, to get rid of every gun?  Allowing the world to know this is nothing fun.

This Birthday is coming soon, I hope this will be the best Birthday ever!  To say that it want, I will never!
May my Birthday poem be read, throughout every land.  I want to encourage everyone, for Justice always take a stand.

FORGETTING THE OLD YEAR
Let's forget the old year, something from our past.  Let's bring in the New Year with everything that will last.
Let's forget the old year, leaving all the bad behind.  Let's reflect on the good things, clearing evil from our minds.
Let's forget the old year, bringing something new to the table.  You can be top of the line, all because everything is stable.
Let's forget the old year, go after the vision ahead.  Remember to follow your leaders, as you are being lead.
Let's forget the old year, refuse to let things be the same.  Build up your self esteem, to go along with your precious name.

YOUR NEW YEAR'S PLANS
If you live to see the New Year, what are your plans?  Are you going to be your best, and be all you can?
If you live to see the New Year, will you make a drastic change?  If you mean serious business, I'm sure this can be arranged.
If you live to see the New Year, have you planned something new?  Are you planning to give your all, and do all you can do?
If you live to see the New Year, are you planning on helping mankind?  Or, is this ideal something, far from your mind?
If you live to see the New Year, will we see a new attitude?  Or, will you continue to act mean, and continue acting rude.
If you live to see the New Year, will you gain more respect?  Or, will you remain in your old ways, constantly getting upset?

I GOT WHAT I WANTED
I got what I wanted, and that gift is you.  If I didn't have you around, tell me what would I do?
I got what I wanted, It's good not being bound.  To spend one day without you, my spirit would be down,
I got what I wanted, I thank God I can see.  Just to have seeing eyes, it's  a pleasant way to be.
I got what I wanted, I'm   able to hear.  God brought me safely this far, it's now the end of the year.
I got what I wanted, I still have a voice to speak.  Just to be able to talk, there is nothing else I seek.
I got what I wanted, I can plainly walk.  When I stood to take a step, I almost fell, my back was the fault.
To have a healthy body, means more to me than having material gifts.  Then I'll be able to help others, so I can give them a lift.

DOING NOTHING WITHOUT GOD
You can do nothing, when you're out on your own.  It takes the Almighty God, to allow you to make it home.
You can do nothing, when you think you have it all in control.  Only God has power to handle it, only God is bold.
You can do nothing, when your eyes are dim.  You need to take the hands of God, so you can follow Him.
You can do nothing, when you think you have it made.  It takes a Holy God, who is able to save.
You can do nothing, when it comes to using your mind.  It takes a powerful God, to keep everything in line.
You can do nothing, when you think you are God.  In order to put  you on the right road, He may have to use His rod.

JUST ONE DAY
Just one day, to share the gifts you bought.  What about the 364 days, you only constantly fought?
Just one day, to say, "I Love You."  What about the days, you allowed hate to come through?
Just one day, to volunteer to clean every room?  What about the days, you hated to pick up the broom?
Just one day, you cooked the family's meal.  What about the days, you asked, "Are You For Real?"
Just one day, you looked your very best.  What about the other days, you put me through a hard test?

ALL ABOUT CHRIST
Christmas is a day, celebrating the Birthday of Christ.  Many need to hear, and take heed to this advice.
It's not about a man in a red and white suit.  Nor about babies dangling on his knees, thinking it's cute.
Christmas is not all about shopping, in every Store.  Or, having gifts, from the ceiling to the floor.
Christmas is about, relieving those who are depressed.  Help carry their burdens, depleting them of stress.
Christmas is about, feeding those without food.  And spending your time, gathering for them shoes.
We really need to know what Christmas is all about.  Deep within our hearts, there shouldn't be any doubt.
