Light Before Shadow Poem by Dwayne Banks

When life seems hard, full of pain
know you can, be born again
There will be times, that you'll cry
when you awake, just know you'll try
Say a prayer, day in - day out
the one your praying to, has the clout
Your actions, your thoughts; are recorded
simply know, your not being thwarted
Days will be good, days will be bad
never forget the good times you've had
Know your loved ones, dead or alive
want the best, for you to thrive
Don't think of yourself, you alone
cause simple pain, cuts to the bone
Help people strive, make them smile
your guaranteed, to walk another mile
Know your soul and spirit are well
house of the Lord, is where they dwell
When a deed is done, for common good
say a prayer, know you simply would
Help that person, do that very thing
knowing everyday, you pray to the King.
