Grace was more than just her given name,
Ready always to provide for friends and neighbors~
And so her kindness was proclaimed, 
My grandmother, worthy now of God's own favors.

BELOVED RUN UNTO THE FATHER AND THE SON

Run, run run run, run, run run run
Sister run, run run run unto the Lord
For He has open arms, he’ll embrace you
And keep you warm, within this cold, cold world;
Brother run, run toward the Lord
Our Father He will cover you
Provide for you ad keep you
Keep you
BELOVED RUN UNTO THE FATHER AND THE SON, RUN
BELOVED RUN UNTO THE FATHER AND THE SON, RUN, RUN
Run, run run run, run, run run run
My children run unto the Lord
He’s got you, He’s got you
And in all that dismay
He comes to display
All is well in Him
He’s more than just a friend
He our beginning and the end
And when, it comes to the world
 you better run toward the Lord
Run, run run run, run, run run run

Premium MemberTaking Care of Momma

Time has went by and now we've switched roles
Having me at 16 and dealing with life's  blows
To me there was no problem you couldn't solve
Through my growing up you were always involved
Now you're getting older and i must take care of you
You've always had an independent point of view 
There's nothing wrong with me paying you back
This is the story of our lives so sit back and relax
A baby cant help the fact that their dependant 
Now the tables have turned dont be offended
This is a time for me to show my appreciation
You fed me and made sure i got my education 
I dont remember going to bed with any worries 
You taught us to pray and to read our bible stories
Anything you need i will try to provide for you
Im by your side with anything you may go through  
Cooking,laundry and etc is what you did for me
Ill love to do for you as well, even financially
You cant burden me anymore than i burden you  
With you mother I'm just trying  to apply the golden rule
You were the best mother a child could have ever had
Seeing you grow older isnt easy it makes me sad
Aging from a baby to an adult back to a child
To be able to care for you mom makes me very proud

Inadequacy is not an excuse in the kingdom of God

There are no excuses in the Kingdom of God
It is God’s Kingdom and 
He will provide for the situation

You have a coach
So don’t approach a situation
Without the Holy Spirit!

He advises, corrects, instructs, trains, tutors, guides
directs and prepares you for your assignment 

The Kingdom of God has everything you need while
You are on earth, so ask in His Name and
Align your prayers with His Purpose

You have a coach
So don’t approach a situation
Without the Holy Spirit!

My Children Faith in God Develops As You Spend Time

Thru Prayer I've come looking Father, just wanted to talk. 
I would love to join You, in my heart for a  spiritual walk.
I’ll stop and sit real still until I know you are here.
My soul finds such peace every time you come near.
The birds sing and fly happily because they always know. 
That you will provide for them wherever the go.
As they glide without effort on a pillow of air. 
They appear to be at peace, without any cares. 
I know you exist and believe your word is true. 
Yet sometimes I struggle to have faith in you.
I’ve seen you do wonders when I’ve suffered lack. 
Yet the very next problem, my doubt can come back. 
Help me to remember you're renewing my mind.
It won’t happen overnight, this process takes time.
I’ll keep on believing, choosing to trust what you say. 
My faith gets a little stronger as I trust you each day. 
My parents and teachers did the best they could do. 
Hold my hand please and help me walk with you.
Father, you made me a dad, 5 children walk behind.
May I request Salvation for each, & a renewed mind?
Would You also place Angels around my Grands everyday?
Give them each hearts to love others the way that You say!

Premium MemberPreamble

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

We the People, in unity’s quest,
Craft a window, our very best.
A union more perfect, in colors arrayed,
With justice’s brilliance, never to fade.

Tranquility’s tones, peaceful and mild,
Like a mother’s embrace to her child.
Defense’s strength, in crimson hue,
Guards our freedoms, tried and true.

Welfare’s care, in emerald green,
Nurtures all, both seen and unseen.
Liberty’s light, in golden gleam,
For us and our children’s dream.

This Constitution, our sacred art,
Binds us together, never to part.

Crown His Effort

It took guts for him to choose it
The society made him pursue it
Under the high pressure of sunset
Without been assured that he would make it
He took the step to maintain his outfit
Obi will never remain a boy


Travelling down the road
He met her
He took her hands and paid the price
They came together and gave a rise
In the shade of his hustle, there she lies
Making meals with the things he earns
The boy is now a man


While the little called him "papa"
He worked extra to provide for two
The burden was much
But he never complained
He moves along with his dear beloveds
Just to push their fates to climb the hills


He motivates even when he is down
He provides even when it’s dawn
He deserves to wear the crown
The crown of a hero

Premium MemberA man can stand on his own,

A Man Can Stand on His Own,

A man can stand on his own,
trusting in God alone.

No woman is his master,
as he knows unrestrained emotions spells disaster.

He threw off the lies women taught.
He took up a walking stick for a life of truth he sought.

And with hands for work he wrought,
God provided and a "wife of noble character" he brought.

She wasn't a whore, nor a woman of angry temper.
She didn't possess a running mouth of rumor.

Nor was she rebellious, irresponsible, or mean.
Neither reckless, unrestrained or obscene.

But she was his soul mate, made just for him,
as she was a woman of God, who radiated from within.

Her hands were never idle, and she provided for him,
and to her children and friends she could also provide for them.

She was humble, and kind.
She was patient in time.

So beautiful was she,
He gave all he possessed to her, gladly.

And they lived a Godly, joyful life together.
until God called them both where they can live, in heaven, forever.

Premium MemberIs This Too Much To Ask


I'm usually quite upbeat in all my poems
So why should is this one be different
Going to make an attempt to come down off my cloud
And stop pretending everybody loves everybody
I'm certainly aware of the ills of the world
These constant flareups that have been happening
Since the very dawn of civilization
As a member of the human race
I'm certainly not proud of our record
Of constant conflict somewhere in this world of ours
They say us guys are very territorial
If that's the case, we'll never be able to coexist
With people of different colour, language and customs
We are bound to clash
It's quite natural to have differences
But why do these differences have to lead to war
Why can't we sit down as civilized people
And solve our differences
We humans are a combative bunch at the best of times
But the average person in the street
Doesn't want war, just wants to live their life in peace
Provide for their family and go about their business
All we want is to be happy
IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK

Premium MemberThanks, Dad


You had passed on 4 years before.
It seemed to have been so long ago.
I finished high school, moved far away,
And was hoping to find a better way.

Still, I wondered if I could thrive like you;
If I could help improve the livelihood of mom.
In so many ways Dad, you were always on my mind.
When driving or gardening, you are on my mind 
Because you taught me how best to do both.

Even now, when I tie my shoes, I think of you because
You showed me how to lace when I was very young.
When I was learning to raise a family, I wondered
If I could provide for them like you did for us.

I often thought about how you spoke of moving west,
But you always remained east of the Mississippi.
I never planned or desired for it to happen Dad, but
I moved to California and lived there for 40 years.
In so many ways, you have always been on my mind.

I'm sure that it was the things you said and did.
You were on my mind because you believed in family,
Never leaving or forsaking us, keeping us protected,
Sheltered, fed, and warm.  Thanks, Dad. Missing you.

Premium MemberNever Forget That I Love You



Don't slip through my fingers daughter of mine 
I've quilted the stars of heaven for you
and padded the moon with the gauze of the sun
Don't look back at the web that you have weaved 
only look forward to the disengagement of my freedom 
my Love, I will provide for you, daughter 
Don't be so quick with your steps and never forget  
who made those pretty toes, those lovely hands  
above you I can hear your every sigh, daughter 
Come rip the veil open with your longings 
come  to my table as you are able  
come drink from my Merciful cup,
Oh daughter, never forget that I Love You, 

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, 
Your Heavenly, Father

Give me

Give me all you have to offer
I'll choke you with lies 
bloat your feeds
and sow seeds

Give me all you have to offer 
I'll make you choose 
from two monsters 
to permit your abuse 

Give me all you have to offer
I'll show a truth
about a repeating past
we seem to loop

Give me all you have to offer
and I'll let you rent what you own
and tell you its ok and take your home

Give me all you have to offer
and I'll give you some pills
to forget your worries and cure your ills

Give me all you have to offer
and I'll raise the price
of what it cost to have a life

Give me all you have to offer
There is no more
your worthless unless 
you provide for the horde 

Nothing to give 
so now you take.....

THE COLLECTION PLATE

What treasures will be in the plate
Meant to provide for the good
Monies from thither and yon
Doing only what saints could

Why does the surplus never touch
The hurt that all good has done
Heavier and heavier grows the weight
That forgiveness and mercy can not outrun

Decades of healing attest to grace
Boundaries line the field of the mind
The gate is open to whosoever will
But TRUTH is far from doing fine

I wished to GOD, words were straight
Communicating LOVE between hearts
But fear has gnarled the lines
Making it impossible to find where to start

The clogged lines of others
Is pushing back on my continual flow
The plate goes around, once again
And everyone knows...TRUTH has nothing to show

but the shame of being ignored

Premium MemberNature's Stern Warning

Extreme temperatures
Melting of glaciers 
Rising sea level
Wildfires
Forests' obliteration
Draughts
Drying up of lakes and rivers
Desertification 
Hurricanes
Storms
Floodings, and
Landslides 
Is the vocabulary, Mother Nature uses, to
Pen ts stern warning to Man:

" Oh, you thoughtless being, mind your ways and revere, 
my eternal laws of harmonious cooperation and coexistence
otherwise, unable would I be to provide for your subsistence."

For more than two weeks the temperatures in Greece have been around 
40 Celcius. Sometimes, like today it is 45.
During this period wildfires are raging across the country. It comes a day that 
our firefighters are trying to contain more than eighty fires.
