When bills were just something our parents worried about
When first kisses were still yet to be experienced

THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST

What does it mean
to be good? Smile,
serve and love, but
what does it mean
when under your skin
it is raw and meaningless?
Do you hand out benefits…
do they say
“You're as good as gold?”

There is no one to talk too.
No one understands and the world is too busy to care!
Lost and confused I write these words in fear

Contemplating, pondering, reflecting

I’ve just moved
to the next screen
after another dollar
and I’m a hero
a man looks
over my shoulder
he slurs his speech

Mandela rose
To shame the darkness
Unveiling the close.

Like the great  tide,
He touched high and low
Impacting a print

He guided his home
In acts and words
He kept a tone.

Heaven Shower Me

Tell me something good
Email me if you would
Rather than take a minute
Take my heart 
In a second 
If you could.
