FOLLOW HER LIGHT

We attended a memorial service for a friend of ours 
who recently passed away…
Where family and friends came to celebrate her life…
Where stories were shared, 
songs were sung 
and people bowed their heads to pray.

As I watched and listened to her family 
sharing memories they’ve made throughout the years…
they filled the day with love and

To follow the law or comply with

To follow the law or comply with
Asks Mister Smith

Forwarding though the current 
Or drift

The flow is uncontrolled
The task is manifold

And distance within 
This our engine 
Appears both new and old

My only nemesis 
Placing an emphasis

On something we must understand 

Humanity fantasies
Trans and the extasies 

Deity rules should be banned 

As time you spend your day

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

You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams

You felt that you should follow a different path, more ambitious and full of dreams,
a road scattered with hidden stars whispering your name in the night,
but you had no idea how to get there, how to forge your way through the shadows,
and so, in your misery, you began to hate everything around you, like a

I Will Follow You

I will shoulder the load.
Lay your burdens on me.
And we’ll walk down the road
Out of history.
Here, I offer my hand.
You can take up the lead.
‘Cross this bone-weary land.
I know we’ll succeed.
	If you ask me to
	I will follow you.
        That’s all you have to do
	And I will follow you.

The follow

So many feelings 
Why do they follow? 
Why can't I shake them? 
Make me feel hollow.
Where do they come from ?
They come from the storm. 
I hear the soundings 
Of shameful surroundings 
What did I do now? 
I do not remember 
So many feelings
Why do they follow?
Come make them leave me
Leave me alone.

Follow Me Down

The pathway to hell
paved with good intentions
— and unwritten words

Dream On

'Follow your dream'
easier said than done
as the girl of my dreams
for me she is the only one
and yet for her I don't exist
she sees through me sad to say
don't have what (it) takes her fancy
won't even look my way
as ships which pass in the night
our two hearts will never meet
I find mine's a dead-end dream
on

Show, Don't Tell

In my experience
between the two
I'm not naming names
but what people say
and what they do
are not always
one and the same
as they don't follow through
life gets in the way
I understand
but that's no reason
not to let me know
there's been a change of plan
when told I'll call
give you a ring is when
I know I'll never
hear from them ever again
all

Voices That Follow

Keeping
memories close
pushing
people away
I live in   
the safety
of what’s held
at bay

Trading
the future
retreading
the past
Living
nostalgic
for what
cannot last

Each
invitation
each corner
unturned
Calls to me
distant
calls to me
spurned

But I keep 
on running
retracing
old steps
As voices
still follow
in search
— of me yet

Follow the flow of the Tees

Follow the flow of the Tees
Meet the folk whose sweat
and tears shaped the land,
brought in the bounty,
shifted the steel to build
Better places.

Follow the flow of the Tees.
Meet the people who fish
in peace.  Look for a seal or two.
See them bobbing, watching you
watching them.  Observe them catching the 
rays of the sun on the

Warriors

Mothers don't let your children
grow up to be soldiers
and march off to battle
without remorse or of course
a thought of regret
to get in the way
boys playing follow the leader
'We're only following orders'
the young may say
yet greed and stupidity
is the name of the game
either for land or in God's name
history has taught nothing
on judging it seems
and trudging

My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me John 10:27

Train up a child in the way that (she) should go and when (she) is old she shall 
not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6  This Bible verse uses the first person singular
masculine pronoun of he and not she; however, since this is my own personal
journal entry, I choose to use the first person singular
