Priscilla Washington-Davis

Hilton Head Island, SC, USA

Forced into early retirement, plus life's daily smorgasbord of untold land mines, I fostered a desperate search for survival skills: peace of mind, courage and hope, guidance, and direction. During this search, I've learned of the flood of benefits to be received by tapping my innate spiritual resource. From this activity, I've acquired knowledge, allegiance, and love and appreciation for God, my great Creator; and found a nurturing wellspring of inner strength, faith, and genuine joy. It's this "Good News" for which I'm destined to share with others, my joy and delight. The vehicle for this reviving opportunity, "Melody of Verse" Soliloquy of Faith, Hope, and Charity. I have been published by The National Library of Poetry, The Poetry Guild, and Poems of the World. Awards include: Editor's Choice Award, Election to the International Poetry Hall of Fame Museum, International Poet of Merit Award, and Outstanding Poets of 1998 (NLP). I am a member of The International Society of Poets. I am a widow, and a single parent with one (exemplary) daughter. Please E-mail me at MelodyOV@aol.com.

Mov Praise

Each new day, I thank and praise the Lord
for my "Melody of Verse."
You see, it is a part of "special preparation"
for me to leave this sinful earth.
He can count on me—to do my faithful part
To lift a tired and weary soul, and cheer a lonely heart.

The Holy Spirit is always eager—to rescue fallen man,
To plant his feet on solid ground—
and encourage him to follow God's plan.
When my load gets heavy and my table tips,
I can depend on God's grace to quicken my spirit
and tighten up my grip.

Please say a little prayer for my memory—
and my Melody of Verse.
May each of us be ready—when it's time to leave
this wicked earth.
We can tell by the many prophetic signs—
That it certainly won't be long;
King Jesus will soon be coming—to
take His obedient children home.

Is There Strife In Your Life?

Is there strife in your life?
There is strife in my life too.
But listen to me friend, I've got good news for you!
You see, I met this man—who is offering this "awesome" plan.
Oh, don't worry about the fee,
He has already paid, for you and for me
Very near the city of Jerusalem—on the cross of Calvary.

I am pleading with you my friend,
Please try my advice—
Consider very seriously—including Christ in your life.
You say that you want freedom?
Freedom—indeed!
First, one must acknowledge that there is a need;
Next, one must stop cultivating old Satan's seed.

A job this big, you can't handle it alone;
You are going to need that special help
Secured only from heaven's throne.
Try the Father, Son, Holy Spirit
Heaven's legal time of three—
Also known in Scripture as Triune Deity.

You can call them in the morning,
You can call them noon or night;
There is no need for you alone—my friend
Your problems to fight.
This pristine and Holy team—has not lost one single case,
Defending future souls for heaven
In this pilgrim's earthly race.
