Alive ... at 5!

To the reader. From the Gospital poet. I feel sometimes that I really need ... to keep my mind & body busy lest I start to think with thoughts that do not serve me well. It is when I get a little "disturbed", that I begin to reflect upon my early child-hood life with my "precious" Grand-momma in the Southern state of North Carolina. I saw the JOY that my Grandmom had, by seeing how she lived & I said to myself..."I WANT THAT!" As we all may sometimes need a "pep-talk", I remember the words from the book of Romans 10:17 that reminds me :"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" . I learned how to be the "child" ... that was a good "listener" . More about my Grandmomma on the back-cover of my book called: BEFORE MY TIME. Thanks to all & enjoy the read.

Club   Heaven .
Started I ... to realize;
Since the "Tender  -  Age"  of eleven.

"Splendor"  came to me in - a - small Church ...
There with - which was locatedc in the then
"DEEP - South"  of the mouth-of Mother Earth.
For this is where ... thus  I  dared ... began my Birth.

"Splendor" ... in that WONDERFUL Name ...
Jesus the Christ  "GENTLE" He came ... to  -me just the same.

Even though I ... "barely knew" ; 
Just - what "life" meant & what to do?

"Splendor" ... entered my EARS ...
At the early - age of Five.
So ... much ... so ... then
I knew that I had come alive ... at 5!

In the year of 1955 ... 
I  "GREW" STRONGER  the LONGER Grand-momma
Took me - to Church ... Oh , I felt alive ... at 5!
Way - back then, who knew that my Going through ...
Trial(s)  &  Tribulation(s) ... would make - me the "proudest" ...
Among God's  CREATIONS - who knew?

That I would HEAR the Club - Heaven Choruses ...
So clear, so bright and beautifully AWSOME Sound 
Of the "OH Most Holy"  instruments ...
"FLOATING"  on the Divine Only Rhythms-Angelic Voices of
PRAISE ... in my early days.
Giving ... PRAISES - to - the Lord most High,  in most ... Holy ...
of PLACES?

...HEAR  the Club - Heaven Choruses.
So ... CLEAR, so ...BRIGHT  and  BEAUTIFULLY Awesome
Sounds every morning, noon  &  night ... that's  ALRIGHT !

Club Heaven
Started I ... to realize since - the "tender-age" of Eleven.
Just another "someting" to keep my FOCUS ... on Holy Heaven.
It ... keeps ... focus... on my HOME in ... Heaven.  Amen.
