The Greatest Love

the greatest love this world has known
is a love that can't be shown.
it is the love from our GOD above.
he created man and all that you see
gave us a heart and soul, and set us free.

unlike any other creatures of the earth
he gave us feelings and all its worth.
he put a universe above our heads
and the earth below our feet.
gave us fruits and plants that we may eat.

he gave us water so that we could live
and other animals so that they could give.
give us the nourishment that we need
so on this world we could feed.

this is the greatest love that he could give.
you could feel his powers, it filled the air
a sensation so great, it was beyond compare.

Daily Lifesavers

GOD gave us lifesavers of which we do not see
but when we need them, there they will be.
most are the angels sent from above
to protect you and i, and the ones that we love.

the others are people just like you and me
they are from all professions
of that you will see.

the doctors and nurses when
we have an emergency
are there for our aches and pains
and to set our bodies free.

the firefighters who risk their lives every day
and for them dear GOD
our prayers we do say.

we have the law enforcers who protect our streets
from all the dangers that the public just might meet.

Reborn

(6/11/12)

I have been reborn for my life had been
Broken, shattered, and torn.
No future could I see
Till the day you came into me.

You opened my eyes to everything around
Including the people " I had put down".
You opened my heart to other peoples feelings
And left my mind completely reeling.

How could I have been so cold, so ruthless
To others needs, and on their sorrows I did feed.
I thought by climbing the ladder of success
I had to put down all the rest.

Then in a dream I saw myself being lowered
Down into the ground, and not one friend
Or family member to be found.

How And Why

It was mid afternoon and not a cloud in the sky
The wind started acting up
I couldn’t understand why.
Then the rain started coming down
Heavy as can be
But it was only raining upon me.

twenty feet all around, outside of that
Not a dropp to be found.
How is this possible?
Is it that I’m dreaming?
And in my dream, this is what I’m seeing?

I looked up and down the street
And the cars were all dry.
I looked up again and the sky was clear blue
I just stood there not knowing what to do.

I felt someone or some thing touch my shoulder
And I spun completely around

Isle Of Enchantment

Isle of enchantment (Puerto Rico) (3/15/12)

It was the isle of enchantment where I fell in love
The isle where dreams flourish and grow
And your heart is with the one you know.
Where two hearts will become as one
Underneath the Caribbean sun.

Love is in the air and on the beach too
That is where I fell in love with you.
The isle of enchantment called PUERTO RICO
The island that you must get to know.

The beaches with their crystal clear waters
And beautiful white sands
Will make you feel as if you're in the promised land.

How can I not be in love with you?
When you make me feel whole
How can I not be in love with you?

Magnificent Twelve

the magnificent twelve were there
and their words are spread till this very day.
their words have reached each and every nation
to show the world eternal salvation.

there is nothing that they could not do
for their belief was stronger than me and you.
for they followed the LORD from the very first day
and saw and heard what HE could do and say.

HE healed the deaf and cured the blind
all this done in a very short time.

HE fed the crowd that followed
with just a few fish
and turned water into wine
at a marriage divine.

because of this -fear spread through out the lands
touching kings and people of power

What Man Do You Know

What man do you know who has been dead for centuries
Yet is alive and doing well.
What man do you know who has pictures of himself worldwide
What man do you know who has statues erected of him
What man do you know who can speak in every language in the world
What man do you know whose words are spoken to billions of people
What man do you know who can soften the hardest of hearts
What man do you know who would gladly give his life for you
What man do you know who would help anyone in need

WHAT MAN DO YOU KNOW?

I know of just one!
His name is simply JESUS!

Maybe if the world was to take just one day worldwide
And dedicate that day to him, then for two minutes
Just stop and pray to him
We would find world peace, and eliminate hunger
And find the solutions to so many problems.

Thanksgiving

It’s getting close to thanksgiving day
When every ones table will be on display.
Tablecloths of different patterns and designs
Making the tables look just fine.

Where every mother or wife try to
Fill their hearts delight.
Food dishes and desserts passed down
From generation to generation
Leaving you with a tasty temptation.

On the table a butterball turkey
And a honey baked ham
Both sitting in their juices
In a large roasting pan.

Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes
Green bean salad, and corn on the cob
It looks like someone was doing their job.
A pan of beans, and a large bowl of rice

I Cheated The Devil

there death stood at my front door
knocking, knocking, and trying to get in
standing outside with a fastidious grin.

he said it was close to that time for me to go.
that i was at deaths door, 'BUT I DID'NT KNOW'
i ignored my body and all the signs
i should have listened, i had the time.

now i'm laying on the ground
no one to turn to, no one around.
no strength to scream, can't make a sound.
i'm gasping for air, and a heavy pain in my chest
is this where i'll die, and be laid to rest.

grasping my chest, i turned slowly around
there an angel stood, not making a sound.
then i heard him whisper in my ear:
i gave you the signs which you chose to ignore
should i give you another chance

Your Child

(03/08/11)

Oh my child! If you could only see
How you’ve become such a big part of me.
I see your future thru your eyes
And how in this life you will strive.

There will be hard roads and obstacles
That you must pass.
But! I know they will not last.

Build your dreams and set your goals
That is the thing that you must hold.
There will always be winding roads
And at you people will throw stones.

But! There is something that you must understand
You are the future of this land.
You can make changes, no matter how small
Your dreams don’t have to be big
