I remember a time before innocence drifted away, Those were the days when God Blessed Me with a pure heart not led astray, You came into my life like a spring breeze upon the fresh morning dew, And then I knew that my heart and soul belonged to you; Forever my love for you became The center of all things to me, A heavenly gift, you were life itself; guardian angel of my heart. But alas, I did not know To be careful for what I wished for Because you reap what you sow,, I worshipped and adored you so, Never realizing that I wasn't ready to know All that was goodness in you needed to be, Treasured, Nurtured and Worshipped; Guarded jealously from the hungry world taking aim at me. I couldn't understand how much you'd mean to me, And I let the ways of the world cloud my path to paradise that you made for me. I became the fool who squandered your blessings away, Blinded to Your Love that saved me every day, And I lost your heart and my way Along that two-way street, I lost my heart and my soul As a blind man in the dark For years the memory of losing you tore me apart, I wandered this bitter earth, A man without a home Seraching desperately, like a tiger in the rain...Afraid of the thunder and lightening he can never explain; Doomed to wander and cursed to roam, The four corners of this world Seeking to reclaim the one thing worth all, A chance at redemption, forgiveness and yes, the sound of your sweet love call; The years have come and gone Flowing like water between my praying hands, And my empty heart hangs heavy with a sorrow that's more than a man can stand; I can never forget you No matter how hard I try, Because, time and the Lord knows the answer I seek and why; As this road of my living comes to the end of the road, And the sun begins to set of one sure thing I know; You are the Love of My Life as God can surely tell, And being with you, for you is where my soul will forever dwell; A Love like ours is divine you see, And Death Shall have No Dominion in keeping you from me because... I Love You.....

BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD WAS GOOD (to me)
I remember a time before innocence drifted away, Those were the days when God Blessed Me with a pure heart not led astray, You came into my life like a spring breeze upon the fresh morning dew, And then I knew that my heart and soul belonged to you; Forever my love for you became The center of all things to me, A heavenly gift, you were life itself; guardian angel of my heart. But alas, I did not know To be careful for what I wished for Because you reap what you sow,, I worshipped and adored you so, Never realizing that I wasn't ready to know All that was goodness in you needed to be, Treasured, Nurtured and Worshipped; Guarded jealously from the hungry world taking aim at me. I couldn't understand how much you'd mean to me, And I let the ways of the world cloud my path to paradise that you made for me. I became the fool who squandered your blessings away, Blinded to Your Love that saved me every day, And I lost your heart and my way Along that two-way street, I lost my heart and my soul As a blind man in the dark For years the memory of losing you tore me apart, I wandered this bitter earth, A man without a home Seraching desperately, like a tiger in the rain...Afraid of the thunder and lightening he can never explain; Doomed to wander and cursed to roam, The four corners of this world Seeking to reclaim the one thing worth all, A chance at redemption, forgiveness and yes, the sound of your sweet love call; The years have come and gone Flowing like water between my praying hands, And my empty heart hangs heavy with a sorrow that's more than a man can stand; I can never forget you No matter how hard I try, Because, time and the Lord knows the answer I seek and why; As this road of my living comes to the end of the road, And the sun begins to set of one sure thing I know; You are the Love of My Life as God can surely tell, And being with you, for you is where my soul will forever dwell; A Love like ours is divine you see, And Death Shall have No Dominion in keeping you from me because...

By Mr. Erik Young... Born on January 15, 1929...Dr. King truly shined, He was noble and he thought global, In fact, Dr. King worked so well...That in 1964 he earned the Noble Peace Prize, but in the world PEACE was on the demise. Only fire hoses, police billy clubs, shotguns and bombs seemed to be on the rise, So Dr. King fought to correct inequality, not only racism and segregation but also poverty... Along with flawed Voting Laws, Dr. King deserves Major KUDOS and applause, He was the bomb because he was bold enough to oppose the Vietnam War, Causing many in the U.S. to call King a traitor, an ungrateful agitator who was only a trouble creator... But King believed in a "Holy Power" greater Than the FBI, CIA, or "powers that be" in the USA.. He was aware of the cruel games the world might play, And we're not only talking about James Earl Ray, April 4, 1968 was the fateful, foul date Where the empthasis we see was on Menphis, Tennesee, But you see the whole world felt this extraordinary error And now today, we have the nrve to say we live in terror. For some members of the world community, terrorism is nothing new, If you think the U.S. has immunity from terroism then your thoughts are untrue, Dr. King fought to teach us that we all must follow the rules, If not then we will all "perish together as fools," And we say Dr. King fought because he was on the frontline...Consistently 24/7 all the time, Staring victorious(ly), violent mobs in the face, looking "Kingly and Calmy," Practicing nonviolently, civil disobedience like Mohatma Ghandi, But don't think for a minute that King was weak, timid nor soft, He didn't need a hoodie, sagging jeans, hip-hop, lots of $$$$, **** or guns to go off, In fact, King did not need a pair of Jordan's or Timberlands Because Freedom, Justice & Equality fueled his adrenaline To fight for the rights of all and not just a few, Before you recite 'I have a Dream" you better decide what you want your dream to do.
