Reflections of Time

“Maybe” 1 September 2011 Maybe I should go to prison for a long time, Or maybe I’m wrong though and just only do half the time. Maybe I don’t know and really I’m just trippin’, Or maybe I’m right though and they just aint listenin’. Maybe they do love and really I’m just to scarred, Or maybe I’m wrong though and I’m really trying too hard. Maybe I don’t know and really it’s all in my head, Or maybe I’m right though and as a father to them I’m dead. Maybe they do know and really they’re just too hurt, Or maybe I’m wrong though and they want to put me in the dirt. Maybe I don’t know and I’m feeling this alone, Or maybe I’m right though and they want to hear me groan. Maybe I should have told her the truth about how I felt, Or maybe I’m wrong though and a bad hand is what I was dealt. Maybe I don’t know and was scared to claim what could have been mine, Or maybe I’m right though and I’ll know for sure in due time. Maybe I’m just thinking to hard about my past, Or maybe I’m wrong though and messed up to come in last. Maybe I don’t know and just need to continue to pray Or maybe I’m right though and the way things are is where they’ll stay. “I Wrote About” 18 December 2007 I grabbed my pen and paper and then I began to write, About how I really felt and the things about you I liked. I wrote about your smile and how it makes me feel, I wrote about a time when your heart I was trying to steal. When I met you I didn’t have one and you probably think that I’m lying, But I only tried to steal yours because you had already stolen mine It may sound a little strange but I’m only telling the truth, Since the first time we ever met I wanted to spend my life with you. I wrote about your body and the things we kept secret, ‘ Just in case I need to remember my journal will always keep it. I wrote a lot about when around me the things you did, You really acted so different like the bad part you always hid. Meaning you carried yourself just like a perfect lady, Instead of arguing and fighting you’d kiss me and call me baby. I wrote about how I think you are the female of my dreams, For me just perfect in every way without nagging or hateful screams. I wrote about how at first you thought I was just a man of the street with no brain, But after I showed you how smart I was about me that thought did change. I wrote about when I noticed that your heart was opening up to me, Go ahead and say what you will but that was something I could clearly see. Then I wrote about how your mind and heart would play tug of war, Because regardless of whoever you were with to me you came back for more. The last thing I wrote about was the day you made me frown, And as I was writing I got upset so I decided to put the pen down. “Someone Special” 15 April 2006 Have you ever met someone who's caught you by surprise, Someone with a beautiful smile and very beautiful eyes. Have you ever met someone who could stop you in your tracks, Someone you’re willing to take risks for without ever looking back. Have you ever met someone you always want to be around, Someone you want to be with but you’re scared you’ll get turned down. Have you ever met someone who you could spend your whole life wit’, But in her head the thought is possible that to her you might not be it. I’ve met that special someone and I think of her everyday, She really is something special and I hope her feelings are the same. “Faith” 23 April 2011 I believe in God the Father Almighty the maker of heaven and earth, That’s the beginning of the Triumph Creed that’s been recited since before my birth. Even though I’ve never seen him or even actually heard his voice, But when he speaks through other people I try to listen which is my choice. Some may even ask how you believe in something that you can’t see, Even though I cannot see him I know he resides in you and me. It may not be as strong as it should be but believe me when I say that I have faith, It’s the reason I get on my knees and close my eyes and then begin to pray. Faith enabled Enoch to be taken up instead of dying, One day my faith will be that strong and until it is I’ll just keep trying. Faith led Moses to leave Egypt without being afraid of the kings anger, Faith had people looking forward for God’s word who was born in a manger. Faith led the prostitute Rahab to welcome the spies as friends, That faith in turn saved her family while all others had to see their ends. Faith caused Israel to cross the Red Sea as if it were dry land, Faith caused the walls of Jericho to fall under God’s mighty hand. Faith leads me to believe that my God is truly real, And that He saves all who comes to him from the devil who tries to kill. Faith led Mother Newman to pray even after her grandson’s death, That same faith through all of his trials was the reason Jesus gave his last breath. Faith directs our lives even if you don’t believe it, God’s grace through faith is really what saves us so at all costs you must achieve it. I hope that you have listened to the words that’s in this poem, And if you don’t really know Jesus I advise that you get to know him.
