Lisa Antley Poem
For the endless, hard work
you do
We honor you.
For your thoughtfulness,
tried and true
We honor you.
For the aches and pains you endure
We honor you.
For your spirit and will to explore
We honor you.
For your fixer-up attitude
We honor you.
For being the biggest cheerleader
We honor you.
For lending your shoulder to cry on
We honor you.
For your unlimited advice and guidance
We honor you.
For all the other things you do-
They have not gone unnoticed.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Lisa Antley Poem
Never bite the hand that
feeds you.
Be careful not to burn bridges
you need to
cross again.
Let’s not pretend
you’re not the issue
when
it’s everybody but you.
Sacrifices they made for you,
but you forgot where you came from.
Actin like an edumacated fool-
dumb dumb.
Now, you want to apologize-
say you’re sorry-
Your eyes cry
lonely tears
feed your fears.
Think
before you speak.
Check your priorities too.
We so done
playin these games
with you.

Lisa Antley Poem
Here we go again!
I’ve been here before...
My birthday’s coming up.
Thank God for another year.
Why are my funds so low though?
I thought I was setting everything in motion...
The Devil is busy!
He wants me to hate my birth month,
Year after year.
But, it ain’t workin’!
Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world!
And, no weapon forged against me shall prosper!
So, I take my life as it comes day by day-
Week by week.
I am not afraid because I’ve already been here, and
I know what to do...
I’ll just keep on movin’ and pushin’ through!
I will not be defeated.
I will not hang my head low.
I’ll look to hills from whence cometh my help and
Know that everything’s gonna be alright!

Lisa Antley Poem
Yesterday, I thought about my past, present, and future.
God has blessed me with His grace and mercy.
His love surpasses my understanding!
He’s better to me than I am to myself.
When everyone else has forgotten about me, He’s always there.
So, in all actuality, I’m never alone-
No matter where I may be in life; up, down, or in between.
Though the Devil tries to disrupt my life like a tempest to a calm, sunny day,
God’s power and plans for me are stronger than his desire to see me fail.
Instead, I’ll be successful beyond belief!
My cup continues to run over, even when I see the fallen one’s shadow lurking in the light of day.
God’s bountiful harvest is on its way!
As sure as His crimson blood flowed from His body and watered the ground, He covers me from coast to coast and shore to shore!
My eyes get misty everytime I think of His goodness and what He’s done for me...
I kneel to His throne.
All praises be to the Lord, my God, who rests in Heaven and watches over me.

Lisa Antley Poem
This is for some who seem to have
lost their way...
Get back on track while you still have
time today.
Why must you use your position of
authority
To be a bully?
We look to you for
Protection
From thieves who come in the dark
of night.
We look to you to make things right.
But lately, it’s all gone wrong.
There is no safe haven to call our
own.
Not in the schools, the church,
Movie theaters, shopping malls,
Clubs, or marathons.
Not even on routine traffic stops...
Pull up;
Shots fired...
Murder for hire.
Fill that quota with blood baths and
yellow tape.
Spread that message of hate
Until we retaliate.
You
Are not
Above
The Law...
Written in 2016; still relevant today...

Lisa Antley Poem
Tried to hold it all in and pretend like everyting ire when
Issues were taking over me like
turbulent winds
Stress and pressure built up like lava
Ready to erupt
The meltdown began.
Felt like it would never end
Til I surrendered and gave in
Finally asked for help to get control again
Best thing I ever did
Now, I laugh like a kid.
I see things differently.
There is no mystery.
It is what it is.
Take care of my biz
One day at time
The world is mine.
The sky and beyond is the limit.
No longer timid
Say what’s on my mind
Take it all in stride.
Nothing can break me
Because He made me
Perfectly in His sight
I’ll fight the good fight
Every day and every night
All things are possible.
His love’s undeniable
I’m feeling better now.

Lisa Antley Poem
God gave you life.
He knew you before you swam in your mama’s womb-
what kind of person you’d grow to be, your aches and pains, your successes and gains.
No matter what path you may choose,
He’ll always be waiting at the finish line for you.
If your choice is wrong, He’ll make it right.
He has a specific purpose for you to fulfill.
You can’t escape His perfect will.
This life He’s given you is a marathon;
not a race so it’s best to keep a steady pace.
When things don’t go as you’ve planned,
Don’t fret-
No worries, mon!
You’re blessed with a golden life.
No need to think twice.
