Missions of Possibilities

Memories of past childhood experiences How my values were formed as I grew My heart for others in need came naturally I believe it was placed in my soul from above When I tried to run from my calling I ran Straight into the arms of destiny finally I quit running from and ran into His arms Rising empowered at the age of nineteen My walk in the path I was given, grew In leaps and bounds I began teaching Starting with three young adults by two Weeks all neighboring churches flocked To my class with a total of one hundred And twenty young and older adults I was given wisdom beyond my years With an insight behind the veil of vision I have walked this path now for sixty-nine Years and have found the rewards priceless Our family has walked a mission impossible Type life with proof for every detail we share with Others I have shared this for this very reason Every choice we make teaches us a lesson Good, bad or indifferent has hidden jewels A trove of priceless gems that lead to Him Today hate is erupting like a filthy disease Fear is terminating family continuity Violence spreads like a leper colony eating Our very souls tearing down America’s Structure making us vulnerable to defeat We must take back our nation embracing Courage once again and our allegiance To the American values and love of country Carole Cookie Arnold

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
