Happy Birthday Yesmin Poem by Bright Kwamina Grantson

Happy Birthday Yesmin



The first day I saw you, I felt healing
Cause as my mind was corrupting and my heart bleeding
You ushered me into an experience of reformation
More than a psychiatric rehabilitation

For me, I think you descended from divinity
Down to the body of your Humanity
Your intellect and integrity
Has made me a man of gentility

I once saw you in my dream
Singing the hymn, Brightly Beams
Singing with a sweet angelic voice
Which crippled and toppled all sound barriers and noise
All men, birds and all living creatures were stunned in a spell bound at the sound of your voice

So continue to lift me up to where I belong
For I do not belong where I am.
I belong where the eagles are

And now oh Lord, precede me
That I might speak not as an orator
But as an Oracle
To break all jinx and obstacles
I was in a world of Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles
But through you Yesmin, I've seen outstanding miracles

I pray into your life that all yokes be broken
All embargoes be lifted
Oh Lord! Let chains break
I lift up prayers and intersections and atonements and supplications
Against all human tools and vessels
That have yield themselves as vehicles
In the hands of the enemy
In Jesus name, I arrest all forms of provocations,
Ground all distractions so that the Lords blessing will go forth unhindered
Let God Arise
And Let His Enemies be Scatted

Y - YOUR
E - ENLIGHTNMENT
S - SHAPING
M - MY
I - INERT
N - NATURE
Thank You

Hint
The alliteration "Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles" actually means, billions of ever changing human beings attaching themselves permanently to things which are impermanent.
