Mighty One
For Karen Mighty-Byfield
Mighty one.
Powerful and strong.
To this land you belong
For in no one’s box do you stand.
So you must run
To find your wings
And fly to Destiny.
Beautiful one,
You were brave all along
And now you know
That fear taught you your song
No more can you be overrun
By regret so deep
And nightmarish sleep
That aimed at your dreams.
Because now you know
The secret of your hips
As they swish and dip
To your promised destination.

In Pursuit
In Pursuit In pursuit I chased but In got disengaged from the ordering of my mind. I looked for a sign it did not come so my sign I made But ended up dismayed When my sign led to a dead end. I ran and ran then ran some more to find a home secure but instead I ran through an open door and ended up on a desolate moore! Then from the corner of my eye now here's my sign though I but look here it was a big black fly! So now I roam far from home my pursuit now quite noisome.
It Feels Good
It Feels Good I remember when I use to dream about heaven What a glorious place it would be. Life was really rough then rejected I could not see the end of the commotion of that life. But now I sit in joy I feel the warmth of my belonging. I have few good friends, true love that will never end and trust me It feels good. That dream is no longer far I don't have to wish upon a star I can sit under this Julie mango tree watch the coconut leaves sway in the evening breeze knowing I have been blessed. And though it still tough, since I never gave up, I live to know each day that life, it feel so good.
This Thorne
This Thorn It is perfect This thorne in my side at first I denied to smile Through this thorn in my eyes. The wait is long now I cannot see my hope grew strong. So to God I sing a new song Now I know where I belong. Since I surrendered I can sense this great love the plans I had for me no longer convinces me Now it is His great plan that qualifies me.
Recall Greatness
Recall Greatness Let's recall greatness those who stood the test of time. They require no trophy they services carry no fee because they did it with love. Love selfless love. They did all so we today can stand tall Their reward cannot be found here it resides above where only the sincere ones gather. Let's recall greatness that does not care for that small portrait you prepared for them to sit in. No they broke the glass because their dreams surpassed everyone's greatest imagining. Let's recall greatness as they stood in the dark and shone and shone so we could see our own light. Let's recall greatness for they sought treasures not trophies.
Caterpillar to a Butterfly
Caterpillar to a Butterfly Look at me move whoa I move so fast. No one can stop me now. I believe I can fly. nimbly I move from tree to tree Oh my this is sweet! I eat all day, everyday and there is nothing you can say. I am a master an expert you see There is nothing better than what I am called to be. But suddenly I get tired and must rest. So in my cocoon I make my nest. But as I wake look up and stretch I feel my body has reset! Where once I was long and around glory be! That catterpillar cannot be found! In its place I now have wings! And guess what? They flutter, flop and sing. Now I can move at lightening speed Oh this is so much more fun! Oh yes indeed this is a dream!
Lukewarm
Lukewarm Lukewarm. This is dangerous. It is the master of disguise the angel of light that brings darkness. There is no truth in it. Only half- truths. half-heartedely the enemy joins in and while you build he unbuilds and the house is never built. But to finish it the fire must be lit and the darkness vanquished. You will be the flame that ignites the change buried in you.
