Jean Burke Poem
You lost something yesterday so beautiful and so strong.
Today you just realized that something was gone. You have given your heart so
completely, that you never would have conceived it.
Bound and tied your mind was so very closed you only saw love, but love didn't
feed your soul.
When you give love it should grow stronger than a weeping willow standing as
the winds blow.
You lost something yesterday called pain and strife, because what you are
feeling now is the beginning of a new life.
Take it in stride and let God make it right.
At the beginning I said you lost something yesterday so beautiful and so strong!
It was your soul.
Now it's time to nurture it, regain your freedom and take control.

Jean Burke Poem
I saw my brother yesterday on his knees, but not praying to thee.
I saw my brother yesterday smoking a little pipe, thinking that will make it al right.
I saw my sister last night walking the street with her head held high, but God is
no where in sight.
I saw a father cheat on his wife, his only explanation was she is not treating me
right.
I have seen nations start war, without knowing what the war was for.
I have seen a man take his bare hands and robe another man of his life.
I have seen children raped and starving with no peace in sight. Never being able
to taste and know the true meaning of life.
I have watched water's rise and reclaim it's land, because it is more of it than
their is man.
I have seen races of people in slaved and murdered because of their skin color
or religion.
I have seen the Earth being turned inside out, being robed of all that is pure in it's
might.
I saw a baby born yesterday, with heart and soul pure as heaven overflowing.
Was that your new beginning yesterday or could this be your end tomorrow?

Jean Burke Poem
I would rather eat the crumbs from the Master's table, rather than feast on the
bread of the devil.
I would rather sing songs of faith and glory, rather than be broken with no hope of
ever knowing.
With this I say to you, to know thyself is to love thyself. To be thyself one must
free thyself. To keep thyself belive in thyself. To have life everlasting keep God
beside thyself.
