SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL STARFISH
DYING TO GET TO THE BEACH
TRYING TO FIND MY PASSION
OR FIND THE TREASURE BENEATH
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A STARFISH MISSING ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL SAND
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO ALONE,AS IF I HAVE NO TRUE FRIENDS
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO ALONE AND I FEEL LIKE IM A STARFISH AWAY FROM HOME
IN A DESSERT WHERE I DON'T BELONG
WANTING TO GET BACK TO THE OCEAN
WANTING TO BE EXACTLY WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
WANTING THE COURAGE TO JUST BE ME
BUT I GUESS I HAVEN'T MUSTERED UP ENOUGH COURAGE TO JUST ACCEPT
THE TRUTH
THAT I'M NOT A STARFISH,I AM A CHILD OF GOD
AND I CAN START SOMEHTHING GREAT NO MATTER HOW OUT OF PLACE I FEEL
I'M GOD'S CREATION,I AM HIGHLY FAVOURED
SO I WILL LOVE MYSELF
AND LOVE MY NEIGHBORS
AS MY GOD COMMANDED ME TO DO SO
AND STAY IN DAILY DEVOTION
AND THIS LITTLE STARFISH
CAN GO BACK TO THE OCEAN

Sharita Crawford Poem
REMEMBER THOSE DAYS
WHEN AN UNEXPECTED DEATH CAME,LIKE THE NEWBORN CHILD THAT CAME,BUT NEVER STAYED?
REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN YOUR BOSS APPROACHED YOU ABRASSIVELY AND UTTERED THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE TO LET YOU GO??
REMEMBER THE DAY YOUR HOUSE FORECLOSURED,AND YOUR HUSBAND TOLD YOU HE WAS NO LONGER INTERESTED IN ALL THAT U THOUGHT U WERE GIVING?
AND INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HEALING,YOU WITHDREW FROM LIVING?
DO YOU REMEMBER THOSE DAYS OF TORMENT,ANGUISH,SELF-BLAME,SELF-PITY GAMES AND CALLING YOURSELF NAMES??
DO YOU REMEMBER CRYING FROM A DEEPLY INHERITED UNMERITED SHAME??
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU FELT YOU HAD NOTHING GOOD TO CLAIM?
I KNOW YOU CAN REMEMBER THE PAIN
BUT I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT BEYOND THAT PAIN THAT EXIST IN YOUR HEART,
AND IN YOUR BRAIN,THERE IS LIFE.
THERE IS LIGHT.
WHATEVER IS WRONG
GOD IS READY TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
THERE IS LIFE AFTER YOUR DEATH
THERE IS STILL AN ABUNDANT LIFE WAITING AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BREATH
YOU DIED FROM HIGH SELF-ESTEEM,YOU PERISHED FROM JOY & HAPPINESS
YOU WERE DECEASED FROM FINANCIAL INCOME
AND YOU WERE READY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL,CALLED LIFE
BUT IT'S TIME TO STOP LIVING IN THE NIGHT
AND RUN TO GOD WITHOUT ANY FRIGHT
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH OUR LIVES CHANGE,AND OUR ECONOMY IS NOT AT IT'S BEST
WE CAN GO TO THE FATHER GOD,AND REST PEACEFULLY ON HIS CHEST.
AS HE WHISPERS PEACE BE WITH YOU
LEAVE YOUR BURDENS RIGHT THERE,BECAUSE YOU KNOW I CARE
BECAUSE THERE IS BEAUTIFUL LIFE AFTER DEATH
AS LONG AS THA KING,JESUS IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
