Racing Against Time
Jesus
Praise belongs to you
I will always love you
Keeper of my soul
Healer and Master
Let your great love
Come upon us

Violated
Forcefully
He took me
Forcefully
He violated me
With disrespect
Disregard
And cold, cruel contempt
I cried until
I slumped
On the cold concrete
Close to a church
Wanting to die
My breathing, shallow and weak
I prayed,
“Take me Lord
I don’t want to stay here anymore,
In a cold cruel world.”
Then I heard voices
But they sounded like
Angels singing
Or a church worship session
The singing was angelic
“But surely
These are humans,”
My tired mind wondered
My mind reeling and spinning
I lay there
Bleeding and in pain
“I can’t loose my baby.”
My mind shrieked,
“No I can’t loose my baby,”
I suddenly wanted to live
For the sake of my baby
An unfamiliar groan sifted into my mind
“Who is groaning?”
I thought within me
Then I heard voices
This time closer to me
“She alive,” a female voice yelled
A male voice replied,
“Call 911, she will make it in Jesus name.”
“Yes pastor,” the female voice answered
The pastor held me and rocked me like a new born baby
“Jesus loves you, you will be okay,”
One year later
The pastor married me
And my baby is our baby

The Last Time I Saw You
The last time I saw you
You could not look at me
You were angry
Traumatized and sad
Because I left you
And broke our vow
The last time I saw you
You had become an addict
To alcohol
You were tired and discouraged
You hated women
The last time I saw you
I wondered if you would ever heal
And I also became sad
Because I hurt you
By leaving
And made you loose
Confidence in love and marriage
But you must remember
That we fought everyday
In front of our children
We were both miserable
And our home became
A battle ground
And a place of mourning
Unhealthy for us
And our children
Everyday I pray
For you
The father of my children
That God will heal your heart
And mine too
Because we both need it
Divorce is painful
Divorce is sad
But sometimes
It just has to happen

Never Forget
Never forget that
You were born for a purpose
You are special
You were born to love
Never forget that
Tomorrow will come
And judgement will follow
In your favor
Or against you
Never forget
That a child that insults
His father will
Pay the price
For disobedience
Never forget
That love created the world
And love rules.
Anything not done in love
Will always lead to sorrow
Never forget

No One Else
No one else
Loves me the way you do
You were there
When I was born
You have always been my protector
And defender
You said to me,
“Your pain is my pain,”
What a love
So pure, so divine
May we your children
Never doubt your great love
And mercy

When You Said Goodbye
And that when I started to cry
When you said goodbye
When you took your love
And gave it
To someone else
I started to cry
When I remembered the home
We built together,
And our lovely kids
I started to cry
When you ignored your children
And pretended they
Did not exist
But I stopped crying
When I remembered
The goodness of God
And his mercy
He became
The father of my children
And I never lacked
He wiped away my tears
And brought David
Who loved me
And grew old with me
And I never remembered
You or your betrayal
Ever again

I Will Count My Blessings
I’m counting my blessings
Not my sorrows
I refuse to meditate
On negative things
I will rejoice
And be glad in Him
I will beautify
My mind
With the word of God
He said I’m blessed
He said I’m healed
He said I am beautiful
I am who He says I am
I reject negative thoughts

The Heavens Above
I contemplate the heavens above
The wonders of heaven
And the love of God
I can see a golden hand street out
The hand writes on the cloud
Pure golden clouds
Thick and powerful
Child give me your heart
Open your heart
I reply,
“Lord, take my heart
It belongs to you
Make me understand
That your love is all that matters
Every other love flows from you
The source of living love
I will love you
O Lord my God
Because you deserve
All my love.”

Rising From The Dust
Rising from the dust I made a promise
To myself
To hate the dust
My garment was grey
And torn
My hair was thin
And brittle
I looked ugly
Rising from the dust
I washed myself in gold
My hair turned to gold
A white garment was given to me
Studded with silver, diamond and gold
I was given golden sandals
Royalty embraced me
And I looked like royalty
Rising from the dust
I dared to dream
The dream of dreams
I dreamt of the
Emancipation of my brethren
I dreamt of liberty and peace
I dreamt of equality, fairness and justice
Rising from the dust
I see a great future
For me and my brothers
Even if it eludes us here
There is a land above the galaxies
Where love reigns supreme
A glorious Kingdom
Rising from the dust
I am constantly glad
Because I know that
That Kingdom will come

I Wrote On The Wall
I wrote on the Wall
After months of grief
I made a vow
Within me
Never to cry again
Never to mourn again
Like the souls
In the land
Of grief
Under the earth
I wrote on the wall
You will never haunt me again
After months of grief
I made Jesus
My first love
And shunned the
Love of the world
I wrote on the wall
I am over you
Each day I pass by my
Handwriting on the walll
And smile within me
It is certainly over
I wrote on the wall
Never again
Will my heart be broken
By a mortal
You were handsome
You were clever
You were rich
Every woman’s dream
And you chose me
And loved me
In mindless passion
And obsession
I was enchanted
And enamoured
By the weight
Of you desire
You seemed too unreal
In your beauty
And charm
Love for you took over my soul
And my soul cleaved to your soul
We were one
In love and life
After some time
You took my love
And cast in on a hard stone
You gave my heart
To the birds to eat
You became bored and tired
You cast me aside
And caused me grief
I prayed to God
For healing of the heart
One glorious morning
I clenched my teeth
Walking with firm strides
And uplifted shoulder
With a little smirk
On my weary face
In firm resolve
I marched to the sitting room
And wrote on the wall
A silent mutiny and vow
With myself
I wrote on the wall
Because I know that
Each morning I will smile
In victory
That I am indeed over you
I wrote in the wall
“You are my past
Jesus is my future.”
