The Journey

They say that the race isn't for the swift, but for those who can endure.
Through this journey I've endured many obstacles, trails, & days of mirth.
Though I'm still at a point where the Lord isn't ready for the world to really get to know me, I've come to know much about the world.
No I won't sing songs of Whoa is me nor will I entertain my own pity party.
See these days have been dark & grim , and at times light & wonderful.
But for everyday that I was on this spiritual journey seeing the truth, the light, the tip & the top.
I've ALWAYS had to STOP...and gave thanks.
To the precious Lord who is the reason I sit here & tell you all of my journey.
Through camspo3try, no more whoa is me & someone help me. But thank you Lord for keeping me through it all.
See I know life isn't easy but my Jesus told me to STAND TALL in the midst of it all.
I may weep in the Spring, see signs and wonders in the Summer, but joy shall come in the Fall.
My journey of the Lenten season may have come to an end on resurrection Sunday.
But the road is still not fully paved & a new journey has to begin.
Love life, break through my strife, & keep God within.
Those were the words that kept me when the finish line was approaching.
Here I am at the end I did it & barely needed any coaching.
So my journey has ended on a fine Sunday.
Sure wish I knew what Jesus had for me on this blessed Monday.

Unexpected

A moment I froze & dove into a pit of silence.
A time when my mind woundered on rage, heartache, & violence.
A lesson that had to be learned through experience.
A glimpse of what would have come if I didn't practice patience.
This isn't the life I dreamed of as a child.
No! This is far from what I thought down the line shall be.
Calm & collective as it seems.
Taken advantage of at time I never expected.
Aimed for the stars but all I reached the roof of my life.
Is this how things are suppose to turn out?
No. Never cause giving up now would be wrong.
Giving up now means I won't be able to sing my last life song...

How Many

How many people has my prayers saved today?
How many worries have been washed away?
How many tears have subsided?
How many family & friends been undivided?
I prayed for you today cause its what God told me to he sent my way.
How many of your needs have been granted?
How many loves been mended?
How many right minds have been restored?
How many distant souls been reborn?
How many lives been untorn?
I prayed for you today, prayed that great things forever come your way...

This May Work

Emotions, devils temptation, early stages leads to motivation.
Lustful thoughts on a stormy night.
Those are all the things you all like.
A mellow tune cascades the background.
A simple flicker of the candle light shines on her nightgown.
They can feel it coming in the air tonight.
But she's gathered in her thoughts as she sips the devils punch.
Lost in her thoughts of tomorrow as the beat thumps.
Lost in a world of sins, confusions, & unsalted love.
Lost as she makes her final decision he reaches for the golden wrapped glove.
All of this for attention?
Wait...did she mention to him that she wants a world full of untimely bliss, a one true kiss from his lips?
No...cause time is flying & the melody is slowly dying and all she wants to know is it worth it?
This may work she says.
This has to work she says.
As she pauses her television...
The jingling of keys and the door opens and closes shut, it worked years ago cause she's wearing his ring...
