I Thank God! Poem by rickey sims

I Thank God!

I thank God for the ones still alive.
I hate the Devil for the ones who have past.

God…?

I thank God for the ups and the downs,
Because you can never go up without first put down.
I thank God for the ones that love me.
I thank God even for the ones that hate me.
I look around to see we’ve all fallen down.
Lets pick each other up, it won’t hurt that much.
I Thank God!

The Devil…?

I fear the Devil only because he can take me from God.
Temptation in the mind to do the wrong things.
Suppose we kill, suppose we steal.
Is it to get by in life?
Peer pressure day and night.
Keep God in your life, you’ll be alright.
I Thank God!

Life…?

No reason to take.
0ne thing we do is make mistakes.
You have the right mind, there is a second choice.
Stand up and stand out, make some noise.
I Thank God!

Violence…?

Violence in the street will put you in jail
Violence took my cousins put my brothers in jail.
Nothing turns out good when it goes threw violence.
Violence took the life of my niece and my sister,
I can’t even believe I never got to meet you.
The ones in jail I write to daily.
The ones in heaven I pray to daily.
I Thank God!

Family…?

I can tell by my family, that we’re not whole,
Missing piece by piece, without a soul.
I love you guys with all my heart.
You accept me with all my faults.
I thank God for you all!

I thank God for the ones still alive.
I hate the Devil for the ones who have past.
I Thank God!
