Light and Dark
Light and Dark
Which is in your heart
Which one are you?
Find your faith
Show your growth
Listen to your father
Listen to your mother
Follow each other
Work together
Share your feelings
Share your thoughts
Throw away your stress
The light gives comfort
In the darkness of night
Are you good or bad?
Happy or sad?
Are you alone?
Were you abandoned?
Can you stand firm?
You’re the future
So tell your elders
That you can be
Respect what they
Have to tell you
If you don’t respect
You will dig
The deepest hole
Dark is light
God is Everything
Out of the foreground—the symbol of nature and pride
All things natural, nature is life
God is nature, nature is God
God is freedom, freedom is God
God is life, life is God
Everything, everywhere
Where there is life, there is God
God is everything
God created everything including you
God is our life, for we shall devote him our lives
We shall devote him every life
Every life in the world for God
Is the world
God created everything from life to technology
From water to earth, from top to bottom
From east to west, from midday to midnight
God is everything, from the sky to the core
God is caring, God is respect, God…is…truth
God…is…everything
God is the sun, God is the moon, he is the planets
He is the stars
God…is the universe
God…is…everything
Family and Friends
You know that respect shows many things: responsibility,
Respectfulness, regard, reliability, reward, but most of all
Is royalty. Respect shows. Some disrespectful people don’t
Know that. Her hand was as smooth as a baby’s bottom.
Her shirt was as cool as a summer breeze.
Her hand is like a silver bridge.
For respect and love brother and sister
Join hands to show some love for each other
To express their feelings and put their differences
Aside.
All You See and What I See
What do you see?
All you see
Is a 5’0”
African-American
With glasses.
If that’s all
You can tell me
Then I’ll tell you
What I see.
I see a nice
Caring, loving boy.
I see an intelligent
Smart person.
I see a funny
Sporty person.
I am my own
Future light.
Now tell me
One more time,
Tell me what
You see.
The Way Things Change
The way things change all I see all I see
is rhyme like a clock that ticks day through day
time flies when you’re having fun day by day
it goes by so fast you don’t have time to think
about what you’re doing when you’re older.
You’ll want to cherish these moments so live
life while you can.
Change Play
Change plays a game
With dust and wood.
Change is an ingredient
Of us.
Change can grind us
Into dust or change can
Warm your pride of
God that made life.
Change can grind your bones
To dust, but one cannot
Turn to dust.
His name is God and he is
No fraud. He does not fuss
Like us. He is the King of
Heaven except us. ( or accept?)
He controls air, water and
Light. You may think
It’s not fair but it is.
But alas he can take us
Away to his light, that’s
A symbol for someone to come
To God, to be another piece of Heaven.
In Front of Me I See
In front of me I see
a beautiful baby
girl, Andrea.
In front of me I see
a baby girl in
spotlight.
If I could only
imagine what she
thinks, sees, or wonders.
Does she wonder?
Does she dream?
Does she wonder why?
Does she feel what I feel?
I have so many questions
to ask.
Way to Where???
There are five futures walking.
Walking backwards or forwards
in or out
why does
it matter
I guess it’s important.
Well I know it is. Failure
is what the first one is there are
4 left.
One is me. Now
there’s
two. My friends are still walking
opening up. I stopped it was
not me it was the steps I was taking.
My friends are back to
crawling. Will we
make it or are our footsteps too
big or are they too small. I
wasn’t one of them but now I am.
I am walking, but to where.
Filled with Respect
Respect is a quiet click of a camera
This picture captures a thousand words
Words of trust and love
That shines through the eyes
The eyes of two people
But loneliness and discomfort
With eyes that stare pierce
They lie behind backs of
Disrespect
Take the hands of the helpless
Guide them and help them
Be unlike the others who stand selfish
Take someone and hold them
Because with respect we step forward
We raise each other
