God in his goodness has sent clouds of witnesses ahead and about us to point us in and to the way. Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
(KJV) Write in poetic form about some one in the Bible or someone in the past or someone in your life that has been a cloud of witness to you.

this poem was written for my grandpa on his 100th birthday describing his life
Tried and true
A hundred years have come
A hundred years have past
You have been there
You have made them last
You are tried and true
Devoted to
The savior who
Died for you
Living the life
Running the race
Staying at
An even pace
Being an example
To all about
Never a question
Never a doubt
Never pushing or giving a shove
Just living a life
Dedicated to
The one you love
Others have looked
And definitely have seen
JESUS alive
And living in thee

This poem is about my "spiritual mom" Deneen. She has been there for me from the beginning. She is the most beautiful woman of God I know!
Did I ever tell you what you mean to me?
All those nights you prayed and sought the Lord so beautifully
You encouraged me when no one else believed
You spoke the truth when the enemy of lies sent daggers to deceive
You shined my armor and gave me a smile when on the battlefield I went
You stayed up nights and interceded for me even when your strength was spent
You told me I could when the system told me I had to have a degree to do what I do
You told me all I needed was the Spirit of God and He would see me through
You told me I was beautiful when I was to blind to know
You told me beauty came from within and the more I died to self it would grow
You put your self aside so many times when I called to complain or whine
You exhorted me to share my gifts and allow the light of Christ to shine
You cut a path for me by being the greatest example of Christ
You taught me that with discipleship there always comes a price
You are the epitomy of beauty and grace and His light shines through your soul
I pray that one day I'll be the mother you are - I just wanted you to know
I love you Neenie!

I hope you will enjoy this. I did when writing it. God's blessings to you all.
One Such as I
I am so grateful to have had grandparents
And other relatives who believed in God
Who forced me to go every week to church
So I would learn about His love
At the time I wanted to stay home
But praise God, they knew what was best
They have turned me into one of His warrior's
Whose life has been Heaven blessed
I knew the verses in the Bible
But lacked a relationship with the Lord
Then just as the Bible said it would be
My life brought me back to His throne
He said, "Faith comes by hearing
And hearing by the Word
And if you search for me with all of your heart
Rest assured, you will find the Lord"
As a prodigal returning to Jesus Christ
I am so aware of how God changes lives
I am so blessed to be a child of the King
By the power of Jesus Christ
I am a good example
Of one who deserves no grace
No mercy should I ever have tasted
But I'm saved for Jesus sake
A home awaits me in Heaven
And every day I live now in faith
I've been given glory and salvation
By the power of Jesus name
So, I won't dwell on what I didn't do
Or all the mistakes I made
For every step I took in life
Brought me to this place
What a great witness to God's mercy
And the power of saving grace
That He would redeem one such as I
The God of all who have faith

This poem is about Margie Epps and about by her listening to GOD and obeying what he told her to do has effected and influenced me and many other people
Margie (Mar-Jay…Hiz-Way)
A women of GOD
Who listened to GODS plan
Making a place to share GODS word
With all of man
Putting an effort
Behind GODS still small voice
Doing what’s right
Making the choice
Making a plan
For others to share
Showing to others
That GOD really cares
With rhyme and reason
We lift our voice
Sharing with others
About GOD’S choice
For GOD placed the words
Deep with in our hearts
To share with others
How they can have a new start
For this is the place
To lift GODS voice
Showing the world
They have a choice
Many will be affected
In a Godly way
Giving them hope
For a brand new day
Many will be impacted
By Margie's choice
To listen to GOD
And obey his voice

Many of know that this past week we celebrated St Patricks day. Many of us however do not know the story about St Patricks life and his impact on Ireland for the Christian faith. A few years ago I came across a pamphlet called the Confessions of St Patrick and it a pamphlet written by St Patrick himself sharing his testimony. From that pamphlet I have written Patricks Poem sharing what is in the pamphlet in poetic form and the impact he had on Ireland for the Christian faith
Patrick’s Poem
I was born in Taburne
In the year 387
To my father Calporinus
A priest of GOD in heaven
Lived a normal life
Pretty much care free
Till carried of as a slave to Ireland
At the age of sixteen
Didn’t know GOD
I was lonely and depressed
How in the world
Could this be the best
Then the LORD opened my eyes
To unbelief and sin
I turned my sins over to JESUS
And wonderful peace came with in
God had watched and guarded over me
Even when I was in sin
Keeping me safe
Till I converted to him
I could not keep silent
After the LORD saved me from wrong
I wanted the whole world
To know to whom I belonged
My Spirit with in me
Grew stronger each day
As I prayed to GOD
Learning how to trust and obey
Then one night
A voice came to me to say
Your going home to your country
Listen and obey
Your ship is ready
The time for departure is near
You will have to go 200 miles
Do not fear
So I took flight
The LORD directed me
I feared nothing
Till the ship I could see
I boarded the ship
The fare was free
For the LORD was looking out
And took care of me
Two months it took us
Till I would get home
Food and provisions
GOD provided for his own
Once back in Briton
I was welcomed like a son
Besought to stay at home
A part of them I had become
The in a night vision
A man by the name of victorous came to me
We need you back in Ireland
To set those captive by satin free
My heart was quite broken
A passion burned with in
Back to Ireland I would go
To help people be freed from sin
I told them the story
About what GOD did for me
And how by repenting of there sins
They could be free
Though many threatened
Punished and persecuted me
I was kept safe
And many from sin were set free
Many left there idols
To become GODS son
Many life’s were changed
Many victories won
Though in my heart
I longed to go back home
The LORD by the Spirit
Told me not to rome
For this is the place
I need you most
Pointing these souls to JESUS
Teaching them how to be filled with the HOLY GHOST
For by the works of Saint Patrick
Ireland was set free
From a world of sin
That haunt those who do not believe

the other day a friend of mine father passed away. Even though I did not know him that well I went as support for my friend. Part of the service was people recalling fond memories and telling of some of the great things he done. The next day as I was reflecting I realized that a lot of the qualities that was in the father were in my friend and I came up with this poem.
You must have got that from your father
You gentle smile
On your loving face
Making others feel welcome in this place
You must have got that from your father
Your willingness to go
the extra mile
So others around you could smile
You must have got that from your father
Your loyalty and dedication
To family and friends
Sticking with them to the end
You must have got that from your father
Your willingness to add
That extra touch
That to others means so very much
You must have got that from tour father
Willing to have values
Tried and true
In what you say and what you do
You must have got that from your father
Being so gentle and oh so kind
Doing what you do
With others in mind
You must have got that from your father
In what you do and what you say
The reflection of your father
Lives everyday
Because you are like your father
written by Mark the poet@copyrighted April 2006
My prayer for me is that people can look at me and see JESUS reflected through me and then have them say you must have got that from your father

As a Deaconess at my church, helping others can be overpowering and at times find me needing nurturing. The Women's Ministry, "Women of Destiny" have proving time and time again to meet my needs when I feel spiritually exhausted. I penned this with the group in mind.
A Friend Always
God gives each of us a special friend during our lifetime
A friend who takes steps with you along the way
A friend true, with a smile that brightens any day
There always to lend a helping hand along the way
A friend who listens to what you have to say
Never to judge you in any way
Offering solid advice when you go astray
Give a shoulder where your head may lay
There to the very end as only a friend will be
Always around in spirit surrounding you with her charm
Offering the strength of love to carry you when you feel alarmed
She expresses dignity and wisdom and a special blend of beauty
Thank you Lord for my friend, a beautiful flower
Forever and always in my heart a gentle spirit
Never to forget all that she has given in love and joy
Always true, sincere, a rare jewel and forever loyal
