Recently received Award from Hyde Park Poetry (formerly Poetry Palace):
Thank you so much!!
On a tightrope I race
through the air and space
while they attempt to displace
the truth to my disgrace
Lie upon lie they add
trying their story to pad
when the reality’s so sad
that they’re all barking mad
One day ’twill be known
when light of day’s shone
on how it has all grown
in the mind of one alone
Let the battle be won
when all’s said and done
in truth what was begun
has been seen by everyone
For God has rescued me
through my life’s history
just as now will He
from this tightrope set me free!

Why can’t I get a break?
What is it gonna take?
Please God don’t me forsake
won’t You give me a break?
I keep paying for you
whom I wish I never knew
the pain I’ve gone through
was all because of you
What you’ve done to me
has been such a travesty
seems I can’t get free
’cause you never let me
One day you will get
what you deserve I’ll bet
when God’s judgement is set
and tri-fold my pain you get!

Just to give one smile
only takes a little while
To everyone that you meet
as you walk down the street
Because you do not know
as through this life you go
What they have been through
or what they have to do
And they might need a smile
to carry them that extra mile
As it becomes a treasure
that is without any measure
Now show them a bit of
our God in heaven’s love
Then you just might see
what you get for free
With that act of kindness
that’s so easy to express!
