To Grandmother

A Grandmothers love is hard 
To explain

It is made up of joy sacrifice
And pain

A Grandmothers love is patient
And forgiving

And each moment with her
Makes life worth living

A Grandmothers love turns a
House into a home

And her beauty shines like a
Precious stone

A Grandmothers love will
Always touch your soul

A love so gentle Gods gift
To behold

Who Will Care

Who will care for the child that
Has no family

Who will care for the child
Born in poverty

Who will care for the child that
Is insecure

Who will care for the child
Abused behind closed doors

Who will care for the child
Born with HIV

Who will care for the child
That lives in you and me

Who Am I

I am the one who spoke to darkness
And said bring forth light
I made the heavens and the stars 
Shine bright
I formed the ocean and the deep 
Blue sea
I designed the universe and set the
Law of gravity
I cast Satan out of heaven because
He tried to take my throne
I created Eve for Adam so he wouldn’t
Live alone
I gave Moses the Ten Commandments
And I parted the Red Sea 
I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
Because they disobeyed me
 If you’re seeking for an answer or if
You don’t even have a clue
Take the time to read the Bible 
I’m the one who created you

To Mother

A WOMAN OF BEAUTY A WOMAN OF LOVE
A WOMAN CHOSEN BY GOD ABOVE

TO BE MY MOTHER AND MY FRIEND TO SHARE
A LOVE THAT WILL NEVER END

MOTHER I THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE
WHEN SOME GAVE UP OR DID NOT CARE

MOTHER I CANT FIND ENOUGH WORDS
TO DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE, BECAUSE IT
IS PRECIOUS AND SENT FROM ABOVE

MOTHER I RELIZE I AM TRULY BLESSED
BECAUSE GOD GAVE ME YOU 
AND YOU ARE THE BEST

A Tear

A tear was shed today because a boy became a man
A life of crime he chose, alone in a cell he stands

A tear was shed today a family was torn apart a mother
 And father divorced and broke their Childs heart

A tear was shed today as the preacher said God Bless
A flag was given to a family as a Hero was laid to rest

A tear was shed today it fell like a drop of rain a mother
Lossed a child her joy turned to pain

A tear was shed today a man was born again his sins
Were washed away he rejoiced with family and friends

A tear was shed today a baby was born into this world
A father smiled as he held his baby girl

A tear was shed today God answered a prayer, a homeless
Man was set free from a life of despair

A tear was shed today as God gave these words to me 
I thanked him for the gift of writing poetry

America

America

Last night I heard America cry…and it was the sound of woman
Birthing children into a society that is filled with despair
And their tears fell from heaven like rain
And flooded everywhere

Last night I heard America cry…and I felt it down in my soul
Because millions of people are dying while AIDS
Is out of control

Last night I heard America cry…and it was on the nightly news
They talked about missing children some murdered
And some abused

Last night I heard America cry…because her soldiers are dying
Each day and families are losing loved ones
To a war that does not pay

These are the reasons why we must come together and wipe
The tears from Americas eyes because if we don’t take
The time to help her she will drown in her own demise
Last night I heard America cry

The Beauty of a Baby

A baby is like a flower picked from Gods
Garden above

 Wrapped with many blessings and filled
With His love

A baby is like a diamond a gift beyond
Compare

Blessed by a Mother and Father entrusted
In their care

A baby is a bundle of joy that brightens
Up your day

With a smile like an angel so gentle
In every way 

A baby is a miracle the divine part of
Heavens plan

The essence of Gods love planted across
This land
