In our Hearts Burn…A Love of God and Country that...through it all...has not diminished! We Press on, Amen!
There comes a time when…we…
must pause to diligently survey
our history!
When, at a place of reflection…we…
walk back through…fields…of what
used to be!
This must be done to comprehend fully
what is transpiring within…
our nation now
As we’ve witnessed poisons of the past
come…trickling down through…
sickened boughs!
Exposed, were those hidden hearts…filled
with the …blind stench and rancor
of yesterday
The evidence is so clear…that we still
make our journey amidst racism’s
biting sway!
However, we cannot be discouraged, whereby
our country’s watching enemies …enter in…
seeking to gain control …
No! we’re mandated to put our Trust in God!
through whom our ultimate victory
will, indeed, unfold!
Thus, when our weary souls and minds
are sorely tested with our faith hunted…
to be…sifted
We must rely on Guidance from Our Redeemer
ignoring…the gnawing call for vengeance…
with prayers and songs of hope…ever lifted!
Albeit…perseverance is undoubtedly ours
by strength from above…through all…
the injustices and, yes…the pain!
For remember…this be Our Beloved HomeLand…!
saturated with the Proud Heritage of our Predecessors
thus, Raising Our Banner High, Our Love…Remains!
Psalm 27
