Tribute Five

"Please Allow Me to Speak for Him" by: Eric L. Boddie Strength is boundless within his words In the hearts of many, he should be heard Lent me his pen one time in the past Even his dark stuff reveals the awesome skill he has Nothing can destroy a heart that's really pure The Answer Is Christ, The Only Known Cure Once He Arrives, everything makes sense Nothing but his pen can get that intense Each selection I have read makes me more appreciate what his pen invents
