REELECTED


REELECTED

The campaign that I have for you always runs in your favor;
Because I am your biggest contributor, not just your Savior.
I don't only save you, and then shove you out on your own;
I support you, not waiting to punish you for what I don't condone.

I hear your prayers everyday, I walk with you along the way;
I've give you the votes to a landslide in your favor today.
I help you write the speeches, give you the answers when you ask;
I give you the strength and wisdom to conquer each task.

Amidst the stress I give you rest, when work doesn't cease;
When the enemy's terrorists surround you, I give you peace.
The best way to serve your people is to serve Me in all you do;
Then you will surely be reelected, because they see Me in you.

IT'S YOUR HEART NOT YOUR ACTIONS

An Excerpt from IT'S YOUR HEART NOT YOUR ACTION



Discipline is important, but it doesn't mean doing thing rote;

Like a robot with no feeling, someone just pushed the remote...



...I could have told you what to do today, you'd have the best outcome;

Tho' racing to your tasks, to the spirit promptings you've become numb.

Could have shown you how to avoid heartache, if you'd listen you wouldn't get lost;

Would've saved you two hours of work, shown you how to get that for a cheaper cost.



But you don't care to have Me all the time to help you in life to avoid each fall;
Though you act like you do occasionally, I see hearts, not actions, you don't care at all.

HIGHER



Excerpt from the poem HIGHER




Arise, O' daughter of destiny; get up from your chair. What has made you bound before is now loosed...


Mount my back so we can take flight and soar far above your problems and circumstance...


Falling is an impossibility, unless you take your arms from around My neck and look down...


Mount wings of faithfulness, flap with perserverance, a higher destination is attainable

N.I.C.U Poetry Book... Shot Down

I wrote a book based on the Roller Coaster of Emotions I went through while trying to save this little guy's life called "The N.I.C.U. Roller Coaster: Poems and Prayers for the Parents of Preemies" I turned in a sample of 3 of the poems and 3 pix to a publisher...and just based on those 3 poems I got a 2 page letter nit-picky letter from the editor detailing every little thing that was wrong with it... right down to the semi colon use! Yikes... when you're fighting for someones life, I guess you're not that conscious of the difference between commas and semi-colons... funny thing my editor didn't catch it. Oh well, I just have to remind myself this is one person's opinion. I know there is much in the book that people need to hear to get them through the tough time of having a premature child. Now one in every eight babies are now born early. The audience is there, just need to find the right publisher who can see past the minor things to see the deeper message.
