gary Hardesty Poems

'HE ANOINTED MY LIPS AND RESTORED MY SOUL. BLESSING MY LIFE ONCE AND FOR ALL, HE PROMISED THAT IF I FOLLOW HIM I SHALL NEVER FALL INTO DARKNESS, TEMPTATIONS ARE NO LONGER AN ISSUE BUT SIN TRYS HARDER AND HARDER FOR ME TO LOSE MY WAY. PRAYER IS MY ONLY WEAPON IN THIS WICKED WAR. BATTLING THE FLESH IS NOT EASY AND SERVING THE LORD SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. ALLOW ME TO COVET YOUR COMMANDMENTS AND OBEY YOUR LAWS. FOR MY FRIENDS ARE MY ENEMISE TAKING ME AWAY FROM YOUR GLORY. IF I SHALL DIE I PRAY YOU SHOW ME AN OUNCE OF MERCY.


COMPASSION IN LIFE IS GONE RESTORE YOUR LOVE THROUGH ME SO IT MAY BE KNOWN.AND WHEN IM GONE MAY YOU RISE UP ANOTHER TO PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF. BLESSED WITH A PROPHETICAL TONGUE WHEN WILL VICTORY BE WON. WAITING FOR THINGS TO COME TO PAST BUT IM TOO LATE THEY HAVE ALREADY HAPPEN. ''WHAT IS MY STRENGTH THAT I SHOULD HOPE, AND WHAT IS MINE END, THAT I SHOULD PROLONG MY LIFE'' (JOB,6,11) ...IF MY FLESH IS RICH THEN MY SOUL IS POOR FOR LONGING TO BE FILLED WITH THE PURITY OF THINE SAINTS AND THE WISDOM OF THINE ANGELS.

Don't call me black for that is not what I am.
Instead look at me as if we are the same
Cause in all actuality we are the same,
I have 2 eyes,10 fingers and 10 toes.
