Through years of experience
my journey has brought me through
hade's flames,
I've remained unburned, scarless,
wondering as a young youth
how have I survived gunshots
in the streets,
stories of momma getting beat,
and death of members of my family;
Struggle I have,
Remorse I've passed,
Regret I live with,
but the Lord's gift
I never forget;
Power and strength,
wisdom plus knowledge;
Thanks and humbleness govern my realm,
Praise and glory convents my essence;
while praying and studying,
listening and witnessing,
my road has been paved,
never wishing to change any of my life's pages;
yeah, I've been in the bowels of the belly of the beast,
however in my darkest of moments,
the flicker,
the glimmer of Light has never left or
forsaken my life;
and through it all I give eternal thanks
because
GOD
granted me grace;
