Notes About The Poem

TO CROCODILE TRIALS AND ALLIGATOR CHILDREN 

          (Apropos Of Mine And My Fostered Ones)

 

It has been revealed

That there is much

I will not live to see. 

Yet, I praise God’s will

And His graceful healings

For allowing me to be here;

Engaged in His mission purpose:

Me in daily labors of love,

For the welfare, justice,

And equality, for me and us all:-

And now, as my time here wanes,

And I slowly sojourn homeward

To that house not made by hands,

I know that in my keloid footsteps,

You all shall indeed journey onward

In securing democracy for us  all:-

Beloveth children, mourn me not in pain,

But in tears of joy, and living love.

Always be aware that I shall be 

Watching from that house above.

Do not wallow in despair;

Rejoice and not be sad:-

Many never got waxed

And waning time to spend

With a happy old grey head, Dad:-.

TO CROCODILE TRIALS AND ALLIGATOR CHILDREN 
          (Apropos Of Mine And My Fostered Ones)

It has been revealed
That there is much
I will not live to see. 
Yet, I praise God’s will
And His graceful healings
For allowing me to be here;
Engaged in His mission purpose:
Me in daily labors of love,
For the welfare, justice,
And equality, for me and us all:-
And now, as my time here wanes,
And I slowly sojourn homeward
To that house not made by hands,
I know that in my keloid footsteps,
You all shall indeed journey onward
In securing democracy for us  all:-
Beloveth children, mourn me not in pain,
But in tears of joy, and living love.
Always be aware that I shall be 
Watching from that house above.
Do not wallow in despair;
Rejoice and not be sad:-
Many never got waxed
And waning time to spend
With a happy old grey head, Dad:-.
