Worry Not

              Just call on me, He said              

Be not afraid my child

For I will be here

Just call and I will

Answer thee,

Seek and you shall

Find

 Yet still we doubt Him

Time after time

Is there a reason

As to why

We are dishonest

In our doings?

We walk around

Deceptively telling

Lies

Yet still HE forgives us

Every time

He's not afraid to 

Call us Child

Why do we do these things

Boldly in His eyes?

We have no shame

We live sinful lives

Hoping that He 

Would just turn 

A blind eye

But He sees

Everything

He looks above

From the sky

Disapproving

Of our sinful lives

He's calling each

And everyone of us

Tonight

To step away from

Darkness

And into the light

Be ye not afraid

For he is Christ

The Deliverer

The Healer

He sees our fight

He knows our plight

Whatever is wrong

He'll make it right

He's calling us

Each and everyone

To come forth 

And surrender

Our lives

Worry not

For Christ is already

On the job

He's fixing

What we thought

Unfixable

He's curing

What we thought

Incurable

And He's renewing

What we thought

Unrenewable

Our God is already 

On the job

And He's saying

Worry not my child

For everything will be

Alight

Tribute to Dr. Maya Angelou

Farewell Dr. Maya Angelou

Only you know why

The caged bird sings

You have been taken

From us

Now under the Lord's

wings

You assured us

That nobody can make it

Out here alone

And life doesn't frighten you

Because you're solid as a stone

A phenomenal woman

God's very own

Always trying to be a rainbow

In someone's cloud

Your words were so profound

But on the pulse of morning

You have us mourning

Your passing time

You have made such a positive

Impact on mankind

It's really hard to fathom

We wish your day was not done

But it is

It is done

And we say thank you

For truly inspiring

Through your kind words

You were one of the world's

finest pearls

Dr. Maya Angelou

Indeed we are hurt

To say Farewell

You will forever be missed

Here on earth

As you were one of

The world's greatest gifts

A thought

It all happened

Suddenly

I was in class

With the mentality

To learn my geometry

However

The distractions came by

Directly

And I sat there hopelessly

Trying to figure out

How this whole thing

Fits me

Studying

For what I don't even

Want to be

But consciously

Thinking about

The reality

To quit something

I started

Isn't totally me

But to pursue something

Unwanted

That's one thing

I don't foresee

I either love it

Or set it free

Because 

What's life

Worth living

If you're not planting

What you want to reap?

     -Theresa Peters

Cold world

It's a cold world
Everyone killing each other
We all want to get to the top
No matter what
Like crabs we pull each other down
And it never stops
It never will
For it's a cold world
Friends aren't friends anymore
Selfishness
Is what's all around
Lies, deceit
It's like plagues that surround
Stripping away the morals to the ground
No love, just cold hearts and
Evil thoughts
When did the world become so cold?
Is there nothing left to hold?
It seems this generation has got nothing to bestow
But one day this will all be old
Gone and forgotten
Passed in the hands of time
Everything left behind
And we'll have to account for all that which was unkind.

                       - Theresa Peters

Uncertainty

Is there a reason for my existence
Or am I just putting up a resistance?
They say that greatness lies within us
But what lies ahead of us?
That which cannot be seen
We envision the things we want to be
But life's unexpected events
Overthrow that sense
Or is it just me?
Giving up seems the easiest
No more pain, no more stress
It would all be less
But what if this is just a test
To see who's the best?
Overcome life's struggles
And make the best of our troubles.

- Theresa Peters

Life's journey

The never-ending stairs
We climb
Each day

A step taken
Seems further away
Moving up
Feels the same
Still
We press on
With hope
That in the end
We will taste the victory
Feel the victory
That sweet victory
Of accomplishment

     -Theresa Peters
