Time drags on in this chair,
As I wait for the brilliant one.
Each time the door swings out,
I look for him to say he's done.
Minutes turn into hours,
and all I can do is stare at the clock.
Finally, after what seems like forever,
Here comes my son's Doc.
As if in slow motion, I stand.
Anxiously, I await him to say,
"The surgery went well, but
of course in the hospital, he'll have to stay."
"When can I see him?"
is what I quietly ask.
"Within the hour," he replies
"But be warned, it'll be no easy task."
As I walk in the recovery room,
He lay so still on his hospital bed.
If I didn't know better,
I'd have thought he might be dead.
His recovery takes, oh so long and
the first time my Angel opened his eyes,
I realized that prayers are answered,
And God had heard all my cries.
My gratitude for God and Dr Carson swelled,
when my son took an non ventilator aided breath.
We had won the fight for my son's life,
and we actually cheated DEATH.
We had to repeat this trying
scene for a total times of three.
It kept me bitter and stressed.
Why couldn't He leave my Angel be?
I see now, what's done is meant to happen.
And I have learned my lesson in GRATITUDE.
To not be trusting that HE knows best,
was not only wrong, it was just plain rude.
I'm understanding now,
more than you'll ever know.
And when I see my son alive and breathing,
my heart and soul radiates for God, a special glow.
*This is a true story, my son went through 3 heart surgeries before 5 months old and this
is dedicated to God, Dr. Carson, Dr. Dooley, and Dr. Willis Williams*
This Issachar tribe was of lowly rank and origin
but God called them for a purpose of His own
they being one of God's twelve tribes
for they understood the times as was known
God thought on them as would a donkey
precious to God no matter how great their sin
for God's compassion forgave them all
the Lord trusted them for His sure win
Like Jesus, they were a great burden bearer
for God would cast on them every burden
in the original Issachar means others' true reward
blessing to others they would pass the cord
Most importantly they understood the times
this tribe was to David a very real support
for they knew what's required of them
speaking into the situation in their prime
We read in the book of Revelation
therein ch.7v7 the very last time
they were then exiles never heard again
God loves nobodies in the spiritual climb
(1 Chronicles 12: 32(ESV)
Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command.
Genesis 49: 14,15 (ESV)
“Issachar is a strong donkey,
crouching between the sheepfolds.
He saw that a resting place was good,
and that the land was pleasant,
so he bowed his shoulder to bear,
and became a servant at forced labor.
Revelation 7: 7 (ESV)
12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,)
A person is dogmatic when they are expressing opinions very strongly or positively as if they were facts. This "rebellion” is very dramatic, and theatrics are not my strong suit. There are White men holding signs that read “Black Lives Matter” during so-called “protests” to boot. If there is merchandise being produced where is the revenue being sent? Has all the money been spent? Where are the headquarters and who is the corporate executive officer? Who is the treasurer? It is my life that I treasure. To burn down a police station is an idiotic measure to ask for peace between your ghetto and the police. Should one be spared even if they attempt to murder a police officer? Kill or be killed is a law on the streets, but that to some is obsolete when the situation involves the police. What is the phone number? They were thrown a bone. I do not lose sleep. I slumber. Can you give me an exact statistical number of black lives that were lost due to the police policing the streets of American Society with lethal force? My sense of propriety will not allow me to be on the fence regarding this issue. Between 1980 and 2023 , approximately 30,000 Black men were shot and murdered by the police. I have heard such gibberish such as “defund” the police. Taking their money will not make them work harder to defend themselves against threatening suspects I suspect. The families of some of the deceased have been given settlements, so I heard through the media. They were cut a check. The police were told that the government should cut their checks. Dogmatic Individuals have many problems in understanding new ideas. They cannot accept reasonable ideas instead of their own incorrect ideas. If there is a corporate executive officer found I doubt that this person will have anything to say that is profound. There will be no statue erected in his image. There will be no one to say “I stand corrected”. There will be no direct and reasonable ideas exchanged between vandals, looters, protesters, and those who commit intentional arson, and the officers of the law. I saw a police station on fire in another state; this was being aired on the news. I never heard if anyone was apprehended. Maybe no one left any clues.
Phantom Slippers of Thoughts
Without soul nourishment our spirits shall wither and die.
Words are a mere instrument, but can reflect truth to power.
Of our faith within love and understanding—truth begs mercy,
Whilst melting honey-sweet crystals kiss thy soft warm cheeks.
We dream and bathe inside the sun’s most radiant gift of desire.
Cool waters of divine creation lovingly quench this desert fire,
And the haunting spectre of death shall never be an end to us!
Winds of such deep-thoughts softly and sweetly sting at once,
When I show you a mirror-image of what our destiny can be.
Adrift in storms of fervid emotions I give in now to your love.
I see a temple of beauty I once bowed down to under your gaze,
As your red-hot daggers strike deepest cords in this coldest breeze.
Now holding hands sunlight-sparkled with you inside this dream,
This heartfelt satisfaction’s worth more than all the world’s gold!
Riches fall from Heaven now in shining jewels of misted pearls,
Whilst I walk alone in deepest thoughts in my blue suede shoes.
Living-loving inside a sole-soul of dreams—true and unbounded,
I hear songbirds whistle and whisper in such joy by God’s grace.
Our souls may nourish themselves on the eternal power of our love.
With God as our witness—we fear not what death shall bring to us,
For our love and true destiny exist far beyond this mortal world!

Loved Ones Are Not Troubles
I always tried to understand my Loved Ones -
Look for reasons for this and that,
finding myself turning over and over
their complexities of character -
Sea-mind tumbling precious stones
over and over, time and again
till soft cool cover smooth...
Like reading a favorite book
lived with for so long, kept close at hand-
Special pages, in special chapters
thumbed, ear-marked, loose pages
from constant searching between the lines
for precious understanding
of a delicately written mind.
Tells me so much more,
And more to come...
It's not a passive standing back
that makes me stand beside
Self - willed, self chosen paths.
For then, and right now, I'm overjoyed
seeing the burnt tree, cut down
yet not destroyed, but resting, waiting...
It sends out hopeful shoots of new life.
It grows itself toward divine petrichor -
All it takes is love and patience
to realize that Loved Ones
are not too much trouble....
Except to those impatient
to quick fix a burnt out mind.

It's been millions of years since humans began the evolutionary journey of being. At the end of the age, our collective measure of wisdom will have produced many historical pages of needless suffering endured throughout the human plight from survive to thrive. And so it goes that we humans, possessing the knowledge and understanding of science and technology, ultimately chose to define our being as builders of great and mighty walls. Chasms of separation serving as our self-imposed dividing lines for us as individuals, as a nation and as a species. At the top of the food chain, given countless examples by many other species of the planet, we disregarded the value of unity to our survival. Foolishly, we built our walls between us instead of around us, guided by the wisdom of our greed and self-righteous justifications.
Our walls kept us trapped like rats in a cage of ignorant pride, where we, the last great evolution of the human species throughout all civilizations, completed the journey of being human, from the cradle to the grave by ultimately drowning in the blood and swill of a political battlefield!
Wow! This is a highly disappointing end of our legacy!
There's still time to change...the end.

I lift up my praises to Jesus my Savior
And to God my master and creator
The one who gives me life everyday
And that's a fact no one can steal from me
I lift up all my prayers and my thanks
As I worship with my lips His most Blessed name
Because He's done everything entirely right
And like Him there's no one I can begin trusting more
I lift up my hopes and all my faith
In the God of the Holy Bible who lives on
No matter what the world may try to put in my head
I just know that His love and grace enfolds me forever.

Time tell the truth!
Wounds heal in time
But this time the right time to begin something new
Time travels in labor like a pregnant woman who knew
This was the time to deliver
This time pain wasn't a factor because it was domenished with the thought of being wrong
But this time this time was never too long
Like the cycle of a season or the eclipse of the sun
This time
time has caught up and was never wrong
Time revealed just what was needed to be known
This time the deep impression pressing upon the brain has to be revealed
With skill the time of elevating within a response need to know
Knowing what time had up its sleeve revealed that time tell secrets of time
To understanding the situation
J-AMES the son of Zebedee
U-NBLAMABLE faultless, guiltless, harmless
L-AZARUS raised from the grave and saved
I-AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending said He the LORD
U-NSEARCHABLE God's wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
S-TRENGTH with salvation, with power, with love, and a sound mind
L-IFE have it more abundantly
A-PPLE OF HIS EYES that we see the way
W-ALK not in darkness anymore
R-ENEW the mind daily with His Word of Faith
E-NRICHED with the river of God
N-AKED and opened before His eyes we are
C-HRIST the King came to save the world
E-TERNAL LIFE that we may have
You have reached to touch my heart
Taken the time to listen and care
Special moments embrace me to share
Bridging the gap when we’re apart
You have listened, heard me many times
Offered empathy with each turn
Knowing loss like a flame, can burn
Here are my thankful words in rhymes
Thank you for the tears, you’ve dried
Thank you for understanding more
Thank you for opening the door
To welcome me, when I’ve tried
Thank you for touching my heart
Giving me, a special place to be free
Encouraging all that I do, from what I see
Supporting me these ways from the start
