To the reader. Living in a place called"alphabet City"; always means that there are alternatives to living a great life! I attended elementary school, not liking it very much; I was teased for my Southern accent.When I allowed myself to LEARN...how?..., I began to listen & to hear stuff that was voiced to me. Matthew 11:28-30 reminds me: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest-take my yoke...is easy, and my burden is light".Then -The WEIGHTS fell-off-of my Heart & Mind. Thanks to all and enjoy the read.


Poem Artwork

 I  have  26  children  but
Your  sentence  in  life  does  not 
Have  to  be  your  life  sentence .

Words have become ... some - of - my best friends ...
They are the ones... that stick-with me, through thick & thin.
They are the things-of which I can ALWAYS depend ...
My  Friend(s)  "Words" ...

Then ... when I cry, they are right-by-my-side  & won't run away.
Then ... when I go away, they are  always  near  me and will not
Stray ... not even for a month, week or a  day...ok.

I ... say ...  I have  26  children  but
Your  sentence  in  life  does  not
Have  to  be  your  life  sentence .

COME, COME,... Come - inside - won't  you,  and  sit  down...
For  a  -  while - take  a  LOAD  -  OFF  ...  your  feet !?
Would you ...like    something   to  drink  or   eat?
I  have some ...lovely -  "Love-letter(s)"  ...WORDS ...
That   I    would    like   you  to  meet ...

THIS - IS ...,  
F A I T H...,   H O P E...,   and     L O V E . 
Amen .
