Faith
A bridge one cannot see;
They cross anyway.
You know God will prevail without a single doubt;
When it's out of your hands and you know;
When the unseen steps in and allows the visible to
grow;
When a situation is chaotic but you remain calm;
Peace is inside of your hand, open your palm.
By faith children have come home;
By faith we have experienced the unknown;
By faith sickness had to vacate your body;
By faith we became humble and relinquished the
ways of the haughty,
When you didn't know how you were going to feed
your family;
Faith put food on the table.
When you were losing your sanity;
Faith made you stable.
A bridge one cannot see;
They cross anyway;
Faith!
imperFect
I've been to the bottom,
I've lost everything I've had,
I felt like giving up,
Life seemed so sad,
I've cried so much,
My eyes became dry,
Can I make it in this life?
I'll give it another try.
People take shots at me,
It's easy to kick someone;
When they are down,
When I rose back up,
I never heard a sound;
Something for me is big,
Everything else seems to be small,
I took walking for granted,
Now again, I must crawl;
My future is bright,
It blinds even me,
Can you carry my burdens?
The price I've paid,
Can you pay the fee?
You couldn't imagine the size of
my shoes,
Before you judge me, check your
unpaid dues....
"Balance"
Shifting up and down;
Standing in mediocrity;
Chaos is evident;
The foundation is on a shaky
surface;
The physical man smiles;
The inner man's cries
uncontrollable;
Why?
So many deadlines and dilemmas;
We try so hard to please everyone;
Do you try to please yourself?
When the wall caves in;
God is the only one that's left.
Study the naked you to improve yourself;
Increase your health;
Delegation weighs equal with life's rise and falls;
We can't do it alone;
Everything consists of balance.
conFidence
As you enter a room,
There's something about you;
That sets you apart from the rest,
You walk with your head held high,
You have the ability to pass any test.
When you talk, authority is demonstrated in each
word,
You never have to repeat yourself,
Everything out of your mouth is clearly heard.
You live to take the initiative and demonstrated keen
insight,
You take the smallest minute things,
And elevate them beyond the stratosphere into a
new height.
You say the right things and remain quiet at the right
time,
You have the hand of the SUN,
Everything you touch seems to shine.
Servitude: the traitS oF a leader
It's an easy task to give orders
Can you follow them?
To move closer to your desired place to be;
Would you bow to your knee and wash someone's
feet?
We all want more;
Can't you be content with what you have?
When you want to cry;
Can you find the joy to make someone else laugh?
The faithful of few became trusted with more;
Taking into consideration;
Someone else's dream will bring you more.
The love of yourself,
Defines how you demonstrate love to others;
No matter what race you are of;
We are all sisters and brothers.
Are you willing to help someone?
With no expectations of something in return;
To get behind the wheel;
Would you take a backseat to learn?
