The man who chose us
Before you came, the nights were long,
The house was cold, the world felt wrong.
Three boys too young to understand,
Why life was harder than we planned.
Our trust was gone, our hope was thin,
But still you came, and still walked in.
No blood to bind, no name to share,
Yet somehow we found safety there.
You fixed what life had

Roads We Chose
Roads We Chose
If you travel down the wrong Lane
where humanity is swept away
with hate and viral diatribes
well then you know
Tom Petty
has inseminated his seed
they knock on all doors
if a narrow mind will answer
ring ring
oh ,my hatred sings
do not be a little mind
unless genocide is your thing

A Cry the World Chose Not to Hear
When Life became too heavy,
People grew harsher,
their words sharpened into wounds,
their silence burned like fire.
When I finally broke,
and Help knocked on my door,
the world turned away,
as if my pain were an inconvenience,
as if my cry were suspicious.
Faith remained my only friend—
steadfast, unwavering—
while Gossip, Mockery, and Bullying roamed freely,
casting shadows where kindness hid.
Gossip spread like smoke—
fast,

Puzzled
You ask why I chose you.
I thought you knew!
I chose you like clean air
Because you refreshed my existence
I chose you like the ocean
Because you regulated the climate of my spirit
I chose you like the sun
Because you nourished my heart’s daily routine
I chose you like the soil
Because you filtered the waters of my life that keep

The Distance We Never Chose
We spoke in ways the soul would bleed,
no second guess, no hidden need.
You knew my silence, I knew your tears,
we stitched our hearts across the years.
But time, that thief, with silent hands,
unwound the ropes of where we stand.
The words grew cold, the nights grew long,
and we forgot our favorite song.
We didn’t fight, we didn’t scream,
we

Chosen For This
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
I dreamed a dream about a little baby,
so innocent and sweet,

I Chose to Live in The Clouds
I Chose to Live In the Clouds
my feet are fixed to the ground
the world pulls at me to bring me down
my head and heart are with my Savior
He has bestowed on me his favor
and by His promise of hope
He helps me cope
and I can shout out loud
I can live with Him in the clouds

You Chose A Poet
You chose a poet.
So you’ll be loved more than the moon loves the stars
But you’ll also have to handle the darkness
The silence when that cloud descends over her head
The begging for you to stay when you hadn't said anything about leaving
Because her heart has been broken
Over and over
If not by another boy
Then by herself
The high

Chose Your Friends Wisely
Do you wonder who your friends are?
My doctor tells me I am dying.
My pastor, not one for lying,
says the same with greater certainty,
whereas my doctor found out recently.
My pastor, if he’s to be believed,
has known it from the day I was conceived.

She Chose Herself
He wanted her, and she wanted him too,
But longing alone could never pull them through.
He saw only the fire that burned in his chest,
Never the storm that raged in her unrest.
She needed safety, a harbor, a home,
But with him, she felt stranded...adrift and alone.
She searched for love in the space where he stood,
Yet all she

A Dream That Chose Me
The dark rooms of my mind take me to a new place every night,
This place beams of sunshine, with beautiful sight.
This feeling is indeed real, but far from reality,
Still, this place thrives my personality.
This is a dream, but I did not choose it, it chose me,
It is a new era in a different country,
Where it

To the father I chose
I sit at the foot of your bed while all others pray—
As you fall this dark December night slowly away—
I wish that you be carried by stars of bright heavens light
Showing beyond certainty, you leave this world more right
You are the grandfather; my children deserved,
a gift to them that you have overwhelming served.
I am humbled

I CHOSE
I chose to write,
For all those torn-off branches,
For all those scarred backs,
For all those dehumanized bodies,
For all those centuries of persecution.
I chose to read,
To deconstruct racialist concepts,
To destroy the carnivorous chains of slavery,
To desacralize the supremacist missions of colonization,

Smart Men Chose Best
One is more like tiger
Other is more generous
Chose her, lose; chose you, gain
Because men love green tea
Because she is gentle
Smart men will chose you
Stupid men chose her.

Only your love I chose
On earth, in heaven, only your love I chose,
Even if you fail to twinkle in my sky,
Even if your love in my heart is a spy,
Even if you keep saying to me goodbye,
Even if your love is something I must buy,
Even if you just keep making my heart cry,
Even if my tears never will fully
