STOP WORRYING

The days are slick

Traps are set

I’m not a gambler

but on this I’ll bet

That I’m covered 

all the way around

HE has never 

and will never let me down

I have to worry about me

and stay out of the way

So I drop down to my knees

and simply pray

Get my back LORD

Remind me today 

That if the enemy comes

YOU will get in the way

And for that I’m grateful

Blessed and relieved

You do a better job 

Of protecting me than me

PASS IT ON

It's been a while since I posted a thought

Wonder why they've remained and never got lost

Trying to understand the growth I know
And that it didn't come sooner like 20 years ago

The lesson wouldn't have been learned
I wouldn't have understood the test
That's given before the lesson
Script flipped nonetheless

But I am thankful I got it before it's too late
That I can share with those in their youth
Being alive is a blessing not a rehearsal
My time on earth is the proof

Your one go round is all you need
If you pray and plan, and plant the seed
So here's to revelation and clarity
Understanding life has no parity

We all get different challenges
and we all get different blessings
Just pray and accept the outcomes
And no you can't prepare for the testing

Just live and learn
See and discern
Be on fire but don't burn
Accept the bad when it's your turn
And let your passion just churn
Then pass the knowledge on...

THE FIRST TIME

I remember seeing you the first time but then I saw you again

You, were a ballet of thoughts dancing in my head

Your voice was an orchestra of words

speaking a symphony to my wonderment 

had me wondering what it meant

Like a song I couldn’t play

So I just stared at the cover photo

Then you smiled and the rainbow had life

brilliant by design

but I was even more impressed by your mind

Intellectual stimulation

Negative thoughts took a vacation, in that moment

Your strength is of legend

fueled by survival, constantly in revival

Look at you now

I saw you the first time but then I saw you yet again

HiDef nothing left to the imagination

To say your style found my appreciation

isn’t lost on this man

So I pressed play on thoughts

Watched with admiration while I fought

What came to the surface

If I confessed in the moment at that time

what would be the purpose 

Fast forward; road blocks and barriers of past times now gone by

They’ve now been torn down with new buildings taking my place; 

you could call them a replace

They may be looking but it’s no longer at my face

But I am still who you saw the first time and then saw again

And to know your view brought me into focus

means my picture was clear

Thank you for the whisper in my ear

Now where do we go from here?

Shhhhh don’t tell anybody

But me

THE YEAR OF T A D!

Make this the year you TALK and DO

Don’t just talk about working out, DO IT

Don’t just talk about opening a business DO IT

Don’t just talk about helping the less fortunate DO IT

Don’t just talk about burying the hatchet DO IT

Don’t just talk about uplifting friends DO IT

Don’t just talk about taking a trip DO IT

Don’t just talk about buying a home DO IT

Don’t just talk about volunteering DO IT

Don’t just talk about changing your diet DO IT

Don’t just talk about earning a promotion DO IT

Don’t just talk about following Christ DO IT

Don’t just talk about stopping Black on Black Crime DO IT

Don’t just talk about working together DO IT

Don’t just talk about being positive DO IT

Don’t just talk about what you’re going to do this year DO IT

Why? Because you may not get another chance…

Make this the year of T A D 

Talk and Do

And everything you talk about doing 

In 2016 I hope it comes true

If it’s positive…

CAN'T LET GO OF GO

I have to keep moving
Petal to the metal and then some
Moving onward and upward and then some
Hitting the brakes means I get none of what I say I want

Future becomes the past all to quick
Living in the present that was once the future
Although tomorrow isn't promised
I have to plan for its arrival

Looking down the road I get a glimpse
Enough to give me hope
On the wing I soar
Hanging by a rope

I'd like to fly away
Doesn't matter what they say
Unless they're going my way
Then lets ride

I can't let go of go
got to keep riding even if it's slow
I need to see whats ahead
One day the car will be parked
and I'll be read, in an obituary

So let me add lines to the pages
Fill up the pages with life
He never let go of go, is what it will read
Still holding on in flight to paradise

Never letting go of go...

CHANGE YOUR PRAYER

I may be Broken, 

But I'm under repair

Cause a change is coming 

Since I changed my prayer

Where he wants me to go

I want to be there

And I know it’s coming

Since I changed my prayer

And it’s not about me

But what’s in his plan

I was in it for me, 

But I didn’t understand

His plan is forever, 

Beyond my belief

I'm just so thankful 

HIS plan includes me

He hears my needs

Took away my despair

Told me I was covered

When I changed my prayer

Now I know what matters

So with you this I'll share

Some amazing things happen

When you change your prayer
