Keep the Faith

Poem:  Keep The Faith
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan

I jus 
be damn 

if I 
stand around

and 
watch you
have

a
Meltdown -

Stressing
over
someone
else's, 

ungratefulness
and
selfishness -

No way!

Not when
you
have given 

 all 
that

you have
to
give -

and

the 
ones
that you 

are
giving too,

take your
caring heart
for
granted.

And

they have 
the 
audacity 

to
think that

they
can use
you -

Truth
is:

the
more you
give,

the
more 
they want -

Yet
you keep
on
giving,

because
it's in

your 
DNA -

I want you
to 
know

that your
life 
means more 
to me,

than frowns
and
vacant stares,

jus cus
they
don't get
it -

I jus 
be damn 

if I 
stand around

and 
watch you
have
a
Meltdown -

Keep
your head
to
the sky -

faith and
hope

lives
inside you.

Hold on
to
the Hem
of
His Garment,

 God, 
will see
you 
through -

Life
is
gonna 
get better,

I
share
no
doubts -
