One Day At a Time

19 now and still going strong
I can’t believe it’s been that long
You’ve lifted me up never down
Can’t believe you were even in this town
You are very blessed and divine
You are still in my mind
I pray for you and your family daily
I mean who could blame me
Stardom isn’t always a piece of cake
It can also be a horrible snake
Even through all the hard times
You never committed a crime
One day at a time 
You surely deserve this rhyme

What Is This I See

What is this I see?
 A family of 30 so close as can be?
 Between the ages of 13 and 18,
 all huddled together in a sanctuary.
 Listening to a man teach from a strange book in his hands.
 He talks of a man who was hung on a cross to save all man.
 I see this “family” at school
 even though some are supposed to be “cool.” 
They walk together,
 they eat together, 
they help each other,
 and love one another. 
This “family” stands out of the school crowd in such a weird way
 that no one understands but feels rude to ask why it’s that way. 
Walk through the halls you never see one that doesn’t smile 
even though you don’t know they go the extra mile. 
This so called “family” is a body of Christ
 that so many can plain see.
 This “family” may not be so unordinary to you
 but look deeper into these hearts of many.
 We love God and we show it daily.

I'M Not the Only One

6:30 time to get up
I don't like being in this rut.
Get ready to go to school, 
even though it's a drool.
8:00 get my instrument out, 
obviously without a pout.
59 degrees outside,
everybody is showing their calm side.
Because in the back of their minds,
the believe school is a mud slide.
Have one good day, 
then back down to a bad one.
I''m glad i'm not the only one.
Go to church on Wednesday night,
there are still so many fights.
No not with each other,
but within one another.
I wonder if If anyone else sees it.
Soon I hear a voice say "I'll relieve it."
So I'm glad to say,
I'm not the only one to see it.
