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.

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.

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.

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?
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

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, 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.

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.
BY, AUTHOR & POETRY, SANDRA JUANITA NAILING

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.

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

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.

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

I'm not you, and you are not me, can we meet halfway, some place we can agree?
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.
I'm not you, and you are not me, I have a vision in life, of what I want to be.
I'm not you, and you are not me, when we were created, someone through away the key.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

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, can be good or bad.  The ones that are good, will make you very glad.
The decisions you make, will turn your life around.  The ones that are bad, will only pull you down.
The decisions you make, will remain forever.  It's important you do your best, in all of your endeavor.
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.
The decisions you make, let it be because it's right.  Allow it to stay before you, morning, noon and night.
The decisions you make, let there be no regret.  It will keep your minds clear, therefore you don't have to fret.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

Are you so filled with anger, mad at everyone?  Why not give God a chance, His shoulders can carry a ton?
Are you so tired, of dealing with people's mess?  Why not give God a chance, to relieve you of all stress?
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 turn your life around?  Why not give God a chance, to prevent you from falling down?
Are you ready, to get out of the gangs?  Why not give God a chance, to give you a new name.

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

Be determine, to start a new year.  Live a life of boldness, getting rid of all fear.
Be determine, not to turn around, starting the old again.  Keep your eyes on what's ahead, to keep you from a life of sin.
Be determine, to bring something good to the planning table.  Use your mind that's filled with wisdom, all because I know you're able.
Be determine, to assist the poor, especially, those without food.  Lift up your hands to God, as one of those, who wants to be used.
Be determine, not to be influenced, by those who wants you to turn back.  Show them you will be strong, and you will not" crack."

I am what I am, all because of God.  I know I would be nothing, if it wasn't for the Lord.
I am what I am, and there is no need to boast.  I have a Spirit with me, called the Holy Ghost.
I am what I am, not because I played a part.  It took the Almighty God, to give me a brand new start.
I am what I am,  it's nothing I have done.  The giver of all life, I believe He's the one.
I am what I am, all because of Christ.  He is constantly with me, morning, noon and night.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

What can we do, to make a life of Peace?  What part can we play, to allow the violence to cease?
What can we do, to get the guns off the Streets?  Can we arrange a place, for all of us to meet?
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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

There are so many homeless people, living out on the Streets.  They do not have clean clothes to wear, or decent shoes for their feet.
There are so many homeless people, who have nowhere to go.  They are surrounded by all types of people, they don't even know.
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.

I'm not immune to profanity, so will you please Stop!  So much of it is spoken, I am about to drop.
Why do we have English teachers, to teach us how to speak?  For those stuck on using profanity, the English teachers are the ones to seek.
I'm not immune to profanity, in fact it makes me sick.  To hear it constantly spoken, can really give you a fit.
I'm not immune to profanity, can T.V. Producers find familiar clean words?  To continue to hear profanity, are something that shouldn't be heard.
I'm not immune to profanity, and I never will.  People have been known to use them, and they have gotten themselves killed.

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.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

When people  pass by you, tell me what do they see?  Are they seeing someone confident, in all they can be?
When people pass by you, are they suddenly afraid?  Have you made yourself presentable, from your toes up to your head?
When people pass by you, will you give them a smile?  Or, carrying a bad attitude, you choose to make this your style?
When people pass by you, do they think you are ready to fight?  Why do you carry on this image, morning, noon and night?
People are constantly  watching you, what signals are you sending?  You may say I'm sending my best, this is only depending.

TO MY FACE BOOK FAMILY, I TREASURE YOUR PLEASANT WORDS.  EVEN WHEN I WRITE MY POEMS, YOU LET ME KNOW MY VOICE IS HEARD.
TO MY FACE BOOK FAMILY, YOU WERE THERE, WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST.  EVEN THE SPIRITUAL PART OF MY LIFE, I FELT GOD'S HEAVENLY HOST.
TO MY FACE BOOK FAMILY, LET'S CONTINUE TO ELUMINATE OUR LOVE.  LET'S GET RID OF ALL HATRED, BY INCLUDING GOD ABOVE.
TO MY FACE BOOK FAMILY, CELEBRATE MY NEW YEAR'S BIRTHDAY, SOME WHERE ON YOUR KNEES.  AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED, GO OUT AND DO A GOOD DEED.

Another year has come and gone, and its trials and test.  In spite  of what we've been through, it brought out our best.
There are no need to go through anything, if you are not going to change.  We can gain much strength and wisdom, as our lives are rearranged.
From January to December, so much has taken place.  It was only by the help of God, we are still alive by His Grace.
There are people like friends and loved ones, who are no longer here.  God has allowed us to keep standing, to the last day of the year.  
May we all look forward, to a year of something new.
Remember you can make a difference, in all you say and do.

Whatever you do in life, do it from the heart.  It's up to you to take heed, not allowing these words to depart.
Whatever you do in life, don't get things half done.  Even if you take your time, doing it one by one.
Whatever you do in life, there's no need to be sloppy.  Even allow your clothes to look neat, make sure your socks are not floppy.
Whatever you do in life, always do your best.  It's not good to settle for anything, and refuse to take anything less.
Whatever you do in life, stand up and walk tall.  Whatever you decide to do, give it your all in all.

We send our healthy strong men and women, out to fight a War.  They pack all their bags, prepared to travel far.
After they began to fight in the War, things are no longer the same.  To Protect and Serve our Country is the reason why they came.
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.
These men and women, deserve the highest of our respect.  We need to help them in every way, and refrain from getting them upset.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

Today, all we see is fighting on our T.V.  People hold in so much anger; fighting seem to set them free.
Fighting is not the answer, you can end up right in jail.  Because of making the wrong decision, someone has to pay your bail.
Don't be eager to show-off, and began to fight.  Refrain from staying in darkness, get help to come to the light.
To watch people on the News fighting, bring shame to the ones they love.  It would look a whole lot better, to see them shake hands, and give each other a hug.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

Now it's a New Year, change the look on your face.  Cheer up anyone, no matter the race.
Cheer up that special one, who walks with a hung down head.  Especially, the ones in the corner, looking like they're dead.
Cheer up your family, bring joy into your home.  No one should feel they can't fit in, therefore, leaving them alone.
Cheer up your children, stop constantly fussing them out.  Show  them that you can be kind, and you know how to speak right.
Cheer your Mother and Father, after they have been fighting all day.  Perhaps, you can bring them together, so they can began to pray.

We still have a boundary, of the color line.  It's always before us, weighing heavily on our minds.
We have come such a long way, to bring all types of people as one.  Since prejudice still exist, have anything been done?
We need to draw the line, and refuse to continue racism.  In our life we need to get rid of, all types of ism.
We need to come together in unity, to ignore the color of one another's skin.  This can only be done, as peace is embedded within.
We have been created, by Majestic Hands.  In a world filled with beautiful colors, to be united by love.
By, Author & Poet, Sandra Juanita Nailing

What if people had a year of unity and not violence, each and everyday?  Better yet, why not have it eliminated, removing it, far out the way?
What if people came together in unity, and not violence aiming to fight?  Why can't they all make up their minds, only to do what's right?
What if people made a decision, to help clean up our land?  This can began to come about, by joining hand in hand.
What if people helped, to get rid of every gun?  Allowing the world to know this is nothing fun.
We need to put thumbs down for violence, and let unity prevail.  God can bring this about, so we don't end up in jail

This time around, will you do something new?  Will you try to be better, in all you say and do?
This time around, will people be treated with respect?  Will you refrain from getting angry, getting people upset?
This time around, will you take care of the poor?  Will you provide a contribution, when they knock on your door?
This time around, will you share your smile?  Will you go out your way, to go the extra mile?
This time around, will you show that you care?  If someone really needed you, will you try to be there?
This time around, will you be determined to change?  At the end of the year, would you have lived up to your name?

Why are you not grateful, for all the gifts you received?  People had a hard time finding them, it was not done with ease.
Why are you not grateful, for all the gifts you have in your home?  You seem so eager to exchange them, until every last one is gone.
Why are you not grateful, with the gifts sitting over there in a stack?  You are really thinking about, taking all of them back.
Why are you not grateful, it seem you have so much?  Yet, you are so selfish, daring anyone to touch.
Why are you not grateful, you couldn't have any gifts at all?  Because of feeling bad, you wouldn't be able to walk tall.
You need to learn to be grateful, and thankful in all you get.  When you decide to do so, you want easily get upset.

To those who have children, you can have much joy.  It could be a precious girl, it could be a respectful boy.
To those who have children, enjoy them while you can.  Before you even know it, they'll be a grown woman, and a grown man.
To those who have children, refrain from any abuse.  Once they come of age, then  they'll be of great use.
To those who have children, show love and not hate.  To do this after they are grown, just may be too late.
To those who have children, allow them to reflect you.  Therefore, you have to be careful, in all you say do.

Now that it is Christmas, are you showing your gratitude?  Or, do you have your lips stuck out, acting very rude?
Now that it is Christmas, tell me how did you act?  Did you make nasty comments, behind one another's back?
Now that it is Christmas, did you remember the poor?  Or, did you have empty hands, going out the door?
Now that it is Christmas, did you fuss and fight?  Did you punch someone in the eye, leaving him without sight?
Now that it is Christmas, did Peace prevail in your home?  Or, did you leave someone in the corner, sitting all alone?
Now that it is Christmas, did you remember what it was all about?  It is the Birthday of Jesus, I'm sure you have no doubt.

I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  It takes only my husband, to call me "Boo."
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  If you really want me to speak, please give me a clue.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  Whenever you 're around me, watch what you do.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  Once a year I may have a virus, or symptoms of the flu.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  I'm familiar with the old, may we try something new.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  At Sundays Church you can find me, sitting on the third pew.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  I have been told I make the best *** of stew.
I'm someone's Mom and Sister too.  Since I patiently listened to you, take time out, to hear my point of view.

Please don't let the shooting that's been going on, become some type of trend.  Something need to quickly be done; the shooting has to end.
You hear about shooting in the morning, then again at noon.  You hear about shooting in the evening, something has to be done soon.
If the younger generation is wiped out, until all of them is dead, who would be around in the home, to be the family's head?
If all the Police Officers are killed, who's going to "Protect and Serve"?  All that is taken place today, is like something we never heard.

On the News today they said, "Guns are being smuggled on the Plane, flying through the air.  This have been going on for five years, in compartments over people's chairs.
They did not report on the smaller guns, but the ones that makes huge holes  They were placed over people's head, right under their nose.  
Imagine people taking a trip, on a nearby flight.  I'm sure the trip would get canceled, if they only knew what was in sight.
I know we are not safe on the ground with cars running out of control.  To smuggle guns in the air, they have to be very bold.

Since I was born on New Year's Day, this is something I hold so high.  It's a blessing to be here, one time I thought I would die.
I count my Birthday very special, all because I was born, on the first day of the year.  At a young age I told everyone, as a child I had no fear.
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.

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.

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, 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.

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, 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?

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.
