Poem Title:
Poem
So many trials seem to be filled up with so much fear So many ask, “Oh Dear Lord, what am I doing here”? So many questions that I have come to know If we just plant a seed, with water it will grow I have a natural green thumb that now is wasting away Along with a mind that does love to go out and play Times I still ask, “How did this all came to be” What was it that my wife was able to see in me? She says that my heart was the most beautiful around It still blows me away, for I clearly remember the sound Her voice was so soft, her tone was so sweet I was nothing less than pure evil upon two feet Had been years since anything had took me by surprise Ice cold is what the rest of the world had seen in my eyes I looked at her smiled and laughed in my cold convict way She smiled and said, “Why you want to be mean anyway” I told her, “I reckon we are all born to just what we are” She said, “So why are you a dope cook instead of a star” That question stopped me right there dead in my tracks I thought, “This girl is a looker but God she is whacked” Last night her and I sat out underneath the moon Two very blessed souls swinging in our sliver spoon Just a little swing we built together out in our back yard Place to just sit back and rest after a day long and hard I once again ask her, how in the world could you ever know? “My Grandmother was preacher, I could see her in you soul” Which led me to speak out my truth for I learned to not lie "My grandmother was also in yours, answering the entire “Why” Grandmothers we respected and held above all others Brought each of us together in the land born of lovers Two Grandmother Spirits full of pure heavenly delight Led their grandchildren into the valley born of the light Now here we sit holding each other, each other high above Because we share in the blessing of our Grandmothers love ---------------------------------------------------------------- Toni and I had lost our Grandmothers before we had ever met though I knew of hers because she was a very powerful lady and a down home speak in tongues Pentecostal Preacher that had great respect up in these parts. After all these years we confided in each other that we could see our grandmothers in each others eyes. Thank you and God Bless, MJ
