My life was in a turmoil at the early age of ten mos., I probably would have been a shell by now but I was rescued by my maternal grandmother. She is my legal guardian. I've been in her care legally for seven yrs.I remember her reading to me everyday, and by the time I entered pre-school I was sounding out words and reading "easy" books. Afterwards everything fell in perspective.I was on my way, first I developed "Self Esteem", I was interested in proper attire; brushed my teeth thoroughly; read every day; studied spelling words; tried very hard to write neat and clear; I love Math, so I practiced adding, dividing, myltiplying and I even tried to do fractions.My best learning experience was spelling, because my "Nana" taught me how to play with words making the words "rhyme". I begin to say words out loud; write words on paper and suddenly it dawned on me, "Why not arrange words making them "Rhyme". "Thus" my poetry writing begin people to love thy neighbor and be sure to thank "God" for their blessings. Instead of saying "I can't"... try saying "I can".I love smiling (Try It) smile and the world will smile with you. |
This MountainI'll huff and I'll puff as I climb this mountainWhen I reach the top, I'll find a fresh water fountain It takes time and patience and lots of devotions To overcome the obstacles of everyday emotions Some days are happy and some days are sad I'll keep looking up to Jesus and feel very glad Being determined each day as we pray Believing Jesus, is the only true way Climbing the rough side of the mountain The rocks become sharp as a knife That's why I keep remembering Jesus words I am the way! The truth and the Life | ReadingEach day I read I feel so proudI'm not going to whisper, I'm saying it out loud Reading so many different books Has given me a perfect good outlook. To reach out for a better understanding Without the rough and harsh demanding Reading a chapter each day and night Makes understanding seem just right Giving attention in order to hear Preventing the feeling of any fear Adjusting myself to reach my stride So I'll always feel secure with pride | The PianoChristians count their blessings every dayWe never forget to stop and pray Some people like sitting in a ball park bleacher But I like visiting my music teacher Making good sounds as soon as I start Playing the piano from the depth of my heart | God's Holy WellPlease walk with me to the blessed wellWe hear the sound of the beautiful church bell Don't you worry or have any fear Because our good Lord is always near We'll drink holy water sitting under a tree And listen to the hum of the working bee After we rest we will play and run It's always nice to have some fun Then we'll go riding in my boat Wearing our beautiful colorful coat We'll never stop with a delay Just keep on praising God for a blessed day We've come to the end of a day so bright Goodnight my love, "please turn out the lights" |
