I have decided to follow Jesus
*BLOSSOM MONYEI
*Liberia's Poetry
*I have decided to follow Jesus.
I've been here before
Where I promised I'll keep myself clean,
again you came in
And left with a heart of sore.
You can't stay
You despise dirt
Like the light of day
You slowly go away when comes the night
“I have decided to follow Jesus”
A line in a song I sang
But when

She Decided to Make Him the Rest of Her Life
He made her feel like a princess, a bride, an angel, a queen.
She had never had a love like this before.
Others did not understand, because of the age thing.
She did not see his age above his kindnesses and his love.
Whether they had five years together or five days
She decided to make him the “rest of

Cubist Composition
It’s all been decided for me
I was told to get up and go
To reap the harvests for free
Which I had no idea to sow
In a competition of fictions
The most plausible won
I bargained three new convictions
For the price of the cheapest one
I invested them in three essays
Which I was relieved to forget
I walked through the Roman

decided to rejuvenate myself
decided to rejuvenate myself…
get a younger hairdo
maybe add a splash of blue
I looked ridiculous but was glad
after all, I have the face of my dad.
If there is something he would never do
It is have his hair dyed outrageous azure blue
So today I felt less like him, more like me
Rejuvenating my look was good, you see.

Decided To Leave Me
I’d be a fool to say I don’t miss You,
After all this time I foolishly
Thought there something I could do.
Maybe it would help me understand,
A way to have a chance to start
All over again.
To make things the way they used to be ,
To bring back those times that are now just

When I Decided To Love You
"Books and boys have enmity my girl”
Generations of women said to me,
Old is gold
But I missed a step, tripped over my books and fell hard for you!
You see, when I decided to love you
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into because love is blind
I relied on the sweetness of your voice as

Be Not Decided
Clasp the not for thy arms are empty,
for forever thy time has gone.
Be not deceived for lack of time,
nor your heart will not open for it is gone.
Place thy lips upon thy empty mouth,
for your sight will never appear.
So let it be said upon mine for you, you will be blind.
Cast your love to the

The Planter Left Me I'Ve Decided With My Father To Raise Our Garden Alone-
He was all the love for me
But let he left me
Didn’t want the responsibility
And yet he planted his seed in me
Now that I am
Separated and far, farther away is his heart
What started the tree to grow?
He’s no longer here
He was once dear
I’ve decided to raise, the garden alone
I’ve decided to dedicate them to the Lord
And

I Decided To Stay a Bit Longer
I screwed it on and it went right up the bank.
Hey! Said Crankden Cramden, was that mink named Hank?
The one who lost his head and needed a new one? I asked.
I think so said Bogland Bagomire, as he baited and basked.
I am irritated when strangers get in on my conversation of course.
So I gave him

So I Decided
So, I decided to create a "can do" list. Not like a
"can do anything" list if you believe long and hard
enough. Neither like a "honey do" list where you're
the honey if you do everything just right. More like
a "can do" something with what looks like a rest of
a life. Like
