THANK YOU LORD

THANK YOU LORD

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY
"

AFRAID OF MY OWN PURPOSE

"
Thank you Lord.
Today I am here.
For I don't know why.
I must say thank you.
For every breathe I inhale
& exhale, it is you that I
breathe.  

The air of life takes me
where I need to be. 
Trouble as it may seem 
I'm afraid of a me. 
To succeed at what my 
life's purpose destined
to be.  A voice for the
people.  

The unspoken swallowed 
by fear & sin. Having a 
head full of Gin, Gin, Gin.
Quick to put da blame on him.
Again trouble follows, intending
to commit sin. 

The devil's mind wants you. 
You're elite & sweet.
No, I won't go.  Yeah I may be
under the influence of another
beat.  However, this tune choose
to give up the streets.

Marching bands drums up a new me.
Oh, saying I can see my God gave me
a spirit of strength & courage without
fearing man.  I felt strong mentally 
and physically.

Somewhere along the way I lost
my will power.  Therefore if
I find favor in your sight, I humble
myself to ask for you to restore
the gifts and power given to me 
at birth.

This is a real and lilting prayer.

"MARCHING BANDS DRUMS UP A NEW ME.
OH SAYING I CAN SEE MY GOD GAVE
ME A SPIRIT OF STRENGTH & COURAGE
WITHOUT FEARING MAN."

Yes, he did. Yes. He did.

love poetry since it has been embedded in my mind deeply way back when I was 4 years old. A very good reader in pre-school. Nursery rhymes tuned me in even deeper. more..
