Prentice Elsey Poem
remember some of the people
that help put a star behind your name
don't be greedy to the game
give back to other communities to
some poor people helped in your fame
why have millions of dollars, billions still
when millions are dying still
crying out for a helping hand
why is it you can't see others like me
this I can't understand
there shouldn't be hunger in this USA land
share the wealth, bring back someone to good health
God blessed you to be a blessing, Famous people
you can be on top today, down tomorrow
can't you see others sorrow
you live in them big homes
when others live where they can
you have one, two many cars to drive
when someone is dying to stay alive
and a little child has no food on it's feet
or in search of some heat, that stranger on the street
don't look down on others like me
don't turn a blinded eyes to see
if some Famous people, would help some hurting people
if some Famous people would, could lend a hand
there wouldn't be hunger in our USA land
it is like a circle, you have, because we buy it
but you don't share it, you are blessed to be a blessing
I was blessed with a gift to write
because I asked God for one song to sing
and He has given me many
but you have never heard of me
because I to find it hard to be recognized even as a writer
Mr. Prentice B. Elsey is my name
if i was blessed with a million dollars, still
I would bless millions, still
and I share this gift with you, Famous people

Prentice Elsey Poem
Some of the little things
That tried to brake us apart
Should of made us strong in our hearts
Because you are the love of my life
I love being your wife
I treasure all our moments together
It is the funny things
That you do, makes me smile
And life is good with you
That our love can last awhile
(Chorus)
Between you and me
We can make our love right
Between you and me
And we can love each other
Between you and me
We can last forever
When we started out
Others and they had there doubts
They said we wouldn't make it
Between you and me
We can work out the mistakes
Together we can work it out
Together we can make it
Threw all the hard times, rough roads
We've climbed over mountians
Carried some heavey loads
Together we are rasing a family
And my sisters to
And if we have arguments
Between you and me
Realize we all make mistakes
But it takes us to make it right
( Repeat chours)
Some of the little things
That tried to brake us apart
Should of made us strong in our hearts
Because you are the love of my life
I love being your wife
I treasure all our moments together
It is the funny things
That you do makes me smile
And life is good with you
That our love can last awhile
Between you and me

Prentice Elsey Poem
Everyday and there is another story to be told
Of someone dying other then the old
Because todays headlines
Is yesterdays news
And all over again
It is another mans pain
And the world reads about it all
A little boy with only memories
of his dad laying dead at his feet
Dad walked his son to school
on them bad streets
A mother and a father
laying dead in their beds
A stranger shoots them
at close range in the head
Someone needs to know
That you love them right now
Let's spread some of God's love all around
Because tomorrow isn't promised at all
It seems other have no care for a human life at all
Every time you hear the news someone is drying
Listen to the voices that are crying
Of two little girls laying dead on a path one walks on every day
I hope you are listening to the words I say
A sixteen year old
And her father decides that she can drive
A mother toss her only child to the side
Is no longer alive
A father lost his wife
A mother her life
And the world reads about it all
Still a lot of people dying that isn't saved
This isn't something that is on my mind
The bible speaks about it all before the end of time
Family against families killing one another
Fathers, Mothers sisters against brothers
And death has no mercy it passes none of these by
Some of us are only left with tears to cry
Because a father shoot in the back of the head
Trying to protect his family now he is dead
Fire takes a little boys life
Because he runs back into the house
To save his mother, only to be remembered as a hero
Everyday and there is still another story to be told
Of someone dying other then the old
Because todays headlines is yesterdays news
And all over again it is another mans pain
And the world reads about it all
Yesterdays news!

Prentice Elsey Poem
Mothers day for me
Is only what should of bee
Cause we could of been best friends
God if for one chance, this could ever be
Could you bring back my mother for me to see
Or just a hug would do, mom I love you
I miss you mom
And I never seen your face
Mom I never said goodbye
I have been abused, lied on, accused
Cried a many sleepless nights
Hoping things would turn out right
You would come and rescue me
Only to see that could never be
Over the years all the tears I've cried
Cause mom I never said goodbye

Prentice Elsey Poem
When my jug is full
And over flowing
You are always around
But when my jug is empty
You are nowhere to be found
My jug is empty

Prentice Elsey Poem
(Verse 1)
Jesus, He saved me...
Reached down into the mess
I was in and He saved me
Opened my blinded eyes to see
(Verse 2)
I don't have to go
Back to the hood even if I could
He saved me...
Opened doors I could not see
He saved me...
(Verse 3)
Here I am, just as I am
I surrender my all and all
My heart, my body, my mind
I surrender my all and all to you
(Chorus)
I won't ever give up
I won't ever turn back
Where you've brought me from
Jesus, He saved me...
I was tired of the life I was living
The streets had pulled me in
Living in a world of sin
I wanted a different walk
A different way to talk
Called on Jesus, He saved me...
(Repeat Verse 3)
I won't ever give up
I won't ever turn back
Where you've brought me from
Jesus, He saved me...
Jesus, He saved me...

Prentice Elsey Poem
Over silky white, silky white waters
Jesus is coming soon
Over mountains and rivers threw streams
There is a place called heaven
Streets are paved with gold
There will be no more sickness
No more sorrows, and no more pain
Jesus is the lamb of God
That was slain for our sins
Suffered and died he did
For the sins of this world
our sickness, our sorrows
Our heartaches and pain
By his stripes we are healed
Christ died and rose again
Christ made us a promise
No man knows not the hour
But the father that is in heaven
Knows when Jesus is coming again
Over silky white, silky white waters

Prentice Elsey Poem
speechless
standing off into the distance gazing your way
looking at you the beauty you are to me
attracts my attention towards you
not being able to say a word
hurts the most
speechless without words
speechless
not being able to pull away
just to glance from time to time
and you are always on my mind
realizing your beauty still
that gleam of sparkle in your eye
leaves me in a trance
and my heart dance
stuck in my tracks
speechless without words
speechless
something keeps pulling me
it draws me near
to come close to you
sometime I think I hear you call my name
but, I turn and walk the other way
speechless without words
speechless
and it was the very first time we met
you acted like you hated me
but, I was determined we would be
the best of friends
and you treated me bad back then
still I would do anything for you
but, I would just stand there looking
speechless without words

Prentice Elsey Poem
now the sun don't shine
in my heart no more
cause there is to many rainy days
i'm here in a city that i only knew of
trying to make it on my own
where you left me on a street corner all alone
it's been a year now gone by
i hold to my tears trying not to cry
but this old country girl
misses her country boy
hope one day you turn the radio on
and hear these words
knowing they are for you
and realize that you left me behind
trying to understand why you did this to me
if only you could see
all I've went through
just to make it, take it all
now the rain don't shine
in my heart no more
i'm here in a city that i only knew of
trying to make it on my own
where you left me on a street corner all alone
and i made it
made it thought my storm

Prentice Elsey Poem
if you could stand a moment in my shoes
if you could of felt my joy
just when I heard your voice
for the very first time
it has always been my choice
if you could stand a moment in my shoes
a little girl all grown up now
now my world turned upside down
through all the held on pain
it always seem to rain
but I won't ever give up on hope
if you could stand a moment in my shoes
to see your face your smile
it is hope that keeps me going
keeps my heart from dying inside
talking to you on the phone is alright
but maybe to see you up close one day
this is a prayer I will always pray
if you could stand a moment in my shoes
i tell myself I wont let this disturb my life
God please let this prayer come true
dad one day I will get to see you
and we don't have to make up for lost times
and you don't have to be just in my mind
but in my life to
if you could stand a moment in my shoes
I wrote this for a friend: Sharon to a father
that she have never met. but she prays one day to see.
