Although they say
My future is bleak
I believe, one day
I shall have what I seek.
...
I thought you were the sun goddess
when I first beheld your charming radiance;
...
The Lord cannot be seen
but can be found.
Though He sits above the sky
and the stars abound,
...
For the families of those that
died in the man's acts of
violence,
I offer to you my deepest
...
I dug my grudges from my trove
And stowed it in a chest.
Off I heaved to the west,
Fluttering my wings of love;
...
The sleep of a laboring man is
sweet,
But a lazy man's slumber is his greatest feat.
...
The new day's like a fresh new page.
I stride to school, bearing my bag
Passers-by pass me by
On the snaky lane
...
I'm happy when I see my friends
Each is a wonder that never ends,
...
My pen must bleed! On this blank page,
With words of rhymes and
rhythm,
I’ll lead thoughts out of the
...
When God's stirred us to do a job,
We should not let dismay
Nor allow words of vain men rob
Our zeal along the way.
...
Feeling refreshed, I leave my bed,
Last night's sleep healed my tired head;
Evening left me peace and quiet
My eyes were served Slumber's diet.
...
Like rays of the ascending sun
That through Night's teeming darkness spears,
So shines Christ's love on everyone,
Ignoring our sinful wears.
...
The loveliness of a new sun
Its glory and its dominion
Quelling the chariots of darkness
Is an emblem of His prowess
...
'From the bosom of God himself;
I proceed forth, into the ears of the hearers,
...
My heart is no longer mine
For what they see in me is divine,
...
The wind ne'er ceases to blow,
And so is a mother's love you know,
Like the moon that ne'er leaves the earth,
So she was with me from birth;
...
At The Tunnel's End
Although they say
My future is bleak
I believe, one day
I shall have what I seek.
They may laugh or leer
At my attempts to succeed
But I don't care
I'll keep sowing my seed.
For at the tunnel's end
There's light waiting for me;
Like a bird, I shall ascend
Out of this hole, I will be free.
Gold must pass through fire
So must champions too
I will not retire
Until my dreams come true.
It is in me, I feel it
Gold innately within to refine
It is me, I know it
A star that must shine
Although they say
My future is bleak
I believe, one day
I shall have what I seek.
