Let Your Spirit Fly

(9/3/12)

Let us take our spirits that we have inside
And join with others so that they may fly
Let us become united as one  and accept
Our GODS son.

You do not have to be Christian to accept
What I say . 
But looking to GOD is what I pray.

We all know GOD in our hearts
For he is life, so let’s not tear ourselves apart.
We have all seen or felt that spirit rise
It is something we can’t deny.

He is with us where ever we go
And this much we all know.
He is the giver of life
The redeemer of death as we lie
In our bed.

Everything that we have
Everything that we’ve become
If not controlled by another one
Was given to us from the LORD
Above, because of his everlasting love.

Let your spirit fly high above yourself
And look to see what he has given,
Isn’t this life really worth living?

  The sun , the moon, the stars above
All part of his love.
The trees, the breeze, the gentleness of the grass
These are things that will last
The oceans, the rivers, the brooks and streams
And the mountains that stand in between.
All the creatures that walk and crawl
And swim this earth
From GOD they was given birth.

The birds that fly in the air
And the beauties that they share
The butterflies and the bees
All live in harmony.

As your spirit is seeing all this
And all of his creations
Why would you doubt that he
Is our salvation.

Let your spirit fly and join all the others
For we was created as sisters and brothers.

LET YOUR SPIRIT FLY

War Vets Dream

When he came from Nam he had a plan
That not many people would understand.
To help children see that not all in life
Was destruction and poverty.
With death and bombings all around
All he could hear was the children s sounds.

With tears in their eyes and not understanding why
Why so many bodies on the ground
And not a one making a sound.
All he could see was these faces of despair
Children did not understand and could not care.

These visions of the war would 
always stay in his mind
From that day forward till the end of time.
He vowed that he would do all that he can
To help all children and his fellow man.

When you see the ravages of war
And a country torn apart
And its people scattered
Then staying alive is all that matters.

He knew that he could not stop this genocide
But he knew for the future children he had to try.
He wanted to create a place called “children s world”
A safe haven for every boy and girl.

A place where children could be children
And war they would not see.
Where they could be with friends and their families.
A place with a roof over their heads
Hot food and a bed.

He knows with time this dream will come true
“It just depends on people like you.”

Three

(02/25/12)

The word three and why it means so much to me:
Have you ever really thought about the three?
And how it can affect you and me.

How it has been passed down thru time
And helped people see who were going blind
And who could not see what was in front of them
Even when it was a relative or friend.

Let me just put things in the perspective
That has entered my mind, and has been 
There for a very long time.

#1) the father , the son , the holy ghost
#2) the three nails in both hands and feet
#3) the three kings at the birth of CHRIST
#4) land , sea , sky
#5)man , woman ,child
#6) heaven , hell , purgatory

How many other threes can you think of
That has been given to us from above ?

My other thing that is and always will be in my mind
Is how I end my poetry with FAITH, HOPE , LOVE

So to all my friends who may read my write
Take the plunge, take the plight
And see if I am wrong or right.

Faith, hope, love

What Are You Thinking

(8/29/12)

What are you thinking of when you feel GODS might
When you feel his presence and your hearts in flight.
Do you feel a chill going thru your veins
As you look up to the sky and call out his name.

Don’t you feel a comfort that you’ve never known before
As he enters your heart and opens his door.
You have a reserved spot in your heart for him
When he took away your mortal sin.

What thoughts go thru your mind when
Everything that went wrong- turns out fine.
When your life has turned around and all
You hear are beautiful sounds.

When you want to stand up and sing
And you feel every emotion it brings.
What are you thinking when your family and friends
Say they’ll follow the lord till their end.

What are you thinking when you see
A newborn baby cry and turns and opens its eyes
And looks directly at you and you don’t know what to do.

What are you thinking when you look at 
Humanity destroying all of GODS creations
And starvation and hunger in every nation.

I do not know what will be on your mind
But if we believe in GOD we’re one of a kind.

Reborn

(6/11/12)

I have been reborn for my life had been
Broken , shattered, and torn.
No future could I see
Till the day you came into me.

You opened my eyes to everything around
Including the people “ I had put down”.
You opened my heart to other peoples feelings
And left my mind completely reeling.

How could I have been so cold , so ruthless
To others needs, and on their sorrows I did feed.
I thought by climbing the ladder of success
I had to put down all the rest.

Then in a dream I saw myself being lowered
Down into the ground , and not one friend
Or family member to be found.
There was not one tear shed for me
Because of the way I used to be.

I woke up in a cold sweat, my hands 
were trembling ,My eyes were wet.
I had cried in that dream
For my life I had seen.

I fell to my knees and started to cry
When I felt you by my side.
I asked you : “if when I ask a question
And it was your will
If in my body I’d feel a chill.”

You gave me the answers to change my life around
And in you - a new life I had found.

Adopted

There’s a tale that I must tell
Of a heart that I knew quite well.
This heart dwelled within her chest
And had given its very best.

Love and compassion had filled this heart
But it was taken advantage of from the start.
This love and compassion was given
Freely to children in pain
But to the adoption agencies
It was just a game.

“ sell the child to the highest bidder”
You work for us - we have no quitters !
Take them for all the money that you can
This is part of the company plan.
And promise them what you must
For in us they put their trust.

If they want a particular type of child
Then they will have to wait a while.
We can give them what they want
If the price is right.
But it will not be overnight.

If they just want a child , and there
Is no preference to how it must be.
We will fill the contract gladly.

We have black children, white children
Oriental too.
We’ll do what we must - to satisfy you.

Now her heart was overflowing
And she knew where she was going.
She went to the D C S where her
case she would rest.
 
The Department of Children s Services was
Already building a case, because
Of so many civilian complaints.
Now with the case pending
Where to place them, the judge was rendering.

“ I will take them if I can, for I have more 
Than enough land.
I have a ranch with more than enough rooms
Give them to me it’s not too soon.

Do a background check, which I know you must
For in the system I put my trust.

One month later, they was living under their roof
For the courts had gotten the proof.
She raised the children like her own 
And to the courts it was shown.

Now she can share her heart, and the children
Can have a brand new start.

LOVE AND COMPASSION RULE !

Soulmates

(07/07/11)

The times that the two of us would
Walk hand in hand- not a word would be spoken
But we would understand.

Sitting at the table - both in heavy thought
Wondering how it started
Why had we ever fought.

We both got up and smiled-and said sorry to each other
For our hearts knew, there could never be another.
We are truly soul mates, 
and we know each other so well
And to be without each other-would be a living hell.

We may fight and bicker as all couples do
But life is not worth living, if it’s not beside you.
soul mates are two hearts and minds both jointly entwined
That want to be together until the end of time.

They know what each other is thinking
Long before it’s done and said
For two truly soul mates are in each others head.

A Gift

(5/25/12)

So many different things that we don’t understand
So many different things that are in gods plan
A touch, a look, a place ,a face, a sound, a word
All of these things we have seen or heard.

What I treasure most are those moments that I spend with you
Cause I know exactly what you want me to do.
when I hold you in my arms , I feel your heart begin to race
It beats so fast that I can’t join the pace.

I feel you quiver to my every touch
And I know I need you twice as much.
Falling in love with you was no surprise
I knew it when I looked in your eyes.

My heart was taken and molded into you
To a point I didn’t know what to do.
You used my heart like molding clay
And with you is where I want to stay.

This was a gift that GOD sent to me
And in your arms I will always be.
Holding you , caressing you
making love to you
my whole life through.

A gift of love is more precious than 
any diamonds or pearls , or emeralds and rings.
A value amount can not be put on love
For it is given from GOD above.

Love and life go hand in hand
This is something we must understand.
If there is no love, than no one would care 
If we lived or died and not one shed tear
Would any one cry.
 there would only be negativity and hate
And never feel or know about religious faith.
We would then be called the living dead
That is something that I dread.

So this gift which was given to me
I’ll treasure the rest of my days
For there is no better way.

Poet 2 Poet

Poet  2 poet

We all have different writing styles, and we
May not all have grace and poise.
But when we do write, it’s all to make some noise.

We want to be recognized by the co-poets
All fair and true.
For writing our poetry is what we all like to do.

So I welcome all my co-poets who take this beautiful ride
And all their dreams and visions, they do find.

We do not only write what comes into our minds
But we write from the heart
And this is where poetry gets its start.

So continue to write all that you see and feel
Because these are human emotions.
That from us, no one can steal.

      WELCOME ABOARD THIS TRAIN OF POETRY.

Tomorrow

We don’t know what tomorrow may bring
But we want something that will make our hearts sing.
And the things that will make our hearts sing
Is the beautiful memories that it brings.

What is tomorrow but another day
Another day of living, another day of giving
Another day of sharing, another day of caring.

All of our tomorrows will be yesterdays
And all our yesterdays are our pasts
And it will be another memory that will last.

Watching all the Doo wop groups of yester year
On  wpbt made me feel old as can be.
With each tomorrow brings you closer to old age
And your life will never be the same.

I will take all my tomorrows and hold them
Like a newborn child, and give thanks to god above
For showing me how to love.
And when my tomorrows become my yester years
With everyone that I know, these memories I will share.
