Missions of Possibilities
Memories of past childhood experiences
How my values were formed as I grew
My heart for others in need came naturally
I believe it was placed in my soul from above
When I tried to run from my calling I ran
Straight into the arms of destiny finally
I quit running from and ran into His arms
Rising empowered at the age of nineteen
My walk in the path I was given, grew
In leaps and bounds I began teaching
Starting with three young adults by two
Weeks all neighboring churches flocked
To my class with a total of one hundred
And twenty young and older adults
I was given wisdom beyond my years
With an insight behind the veil of vision
I have walked this path now for sixty-nine
Years and have found the rewards priceless
Our family has walked a mission impossible
Type life with proof for every detail we share with
Others
I have shared this for this very reason
Every choice we make teaches us a lesson
Good, bad or indifferent has hidden jewels
A trove of priceless gems that lead to Him
Today hate is erupting like a filthy disease
Fear is terminating family continuity
Violence spreads like a leper colony eating
Our very souls tearing down America’s
Structure making us vulnerable to defeat
We must take back our nation embracing
Courage once again and our allegiance
To the American values and love of country
