Timothy Branch Poems

No matter what the challenge may be, you rose to the occasion without compromise or yielding to sinful temptation.
When those said your look or plight in this nation would hinder you from full assimilation, you soared to reach the highest office in the most powerful nation.
Despite the breakdown of the family unit, your women rose to birth, rear, and guide great men.
Amid staunch opposition, you wanted full acceptance to a nation divided over such inclusion.
...

One time If given the chance, incredulous would be their uncontrollable and jovial dance.
Never did I fathom having the chance to give into one's life a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream.
To see the adulation in the heart of the beneficiary of your gracious gift sends feelings of goodness like God's fanning hand sends ripples into waves that tickle the seashores.
...

Franchising, visionary
Compelling takes no yelling
Persuasion, hear what I'm saying?
Look eye to eye
...

Contradict the plan for it, it will attack.
Block the hand of life's giver,
Expect its failure
The state of one's heart largely depends on its occupant
...

Everything seen should not be shown.
Some of those things are unforgettable.
A still shot the mind can't block at times regrettably the image in now frozen.
At times once seen by you and me we both wish we could melt it.
...

Watching steadfast rocks pass waves downstream.
Watching ants scurry to and fro stacking hills sky high.
Watching birds soar high in formation with visions, a plan and a mission set on arriving in a warmer destination.
Hearing street sounds as cars leave the city limits for the quiet found in the countryside and sunsets as wide as eyes can see on both sides.
...

I should be free to fly.
I can't be held by what you see.
You didn't see me when cover covered me.
I could not be seen when I was wound and bound.
...

Waste never just happens.
Poor planning causes waste to happen.
Suppose I need some things but I fail to purpose intently on just those things in a place of many things.
Impulse tells me that I need everything.
...

Flight requires wings.
Walking feet never enable flight.
Destiny is attached to the successful use of wings.
Trust those wings.
...

Pursuing what is true one can't help to find truth.
Hoping for what is good bears fruit of goodness.
Living by faith because everything I have, hope, imagine to have or keep depends on it.
Serving others like I desire to be served.
...
