I have been writing poetry for the last 15 years (writing came to me late in life). I work in the field of property management in the Southern California area. I'm an active member in the mens chorus of Macedonia Baptist Church, Watts, CA, where my daughter and I attend. My collection is reflective of people and places in my life that leaves an indelible implant, as recorded in my book, "Diamonds In The Dark."

Thank You Lord We Love You

This gift He gave me
This gift to use
This gift of Life
Do Not Abuse

This gift of Love
This gift to Care
This gift oh Lord
We All must Share

This gift oh Lord
I now Under Stand
To Love my Enemy
Is Part of your Plan

For only The Sun can make it Dark
And only By you
Are we Called
MAN.

Don't Be Afraid Of The Woods

The Robin is singing.
come, in, come in.
The Blue Jay is too.
Come, in, come in.
The Blackness so rich.
Come in, come in.
The Green is there too.
Come in, Come in.
With fear in their eyes.
Come in, Come in.
Three lads, with great pride.
Come in, Come in.
Agree to the care.
Come in, Come in.
Of the other one's fear.
Come in, Come in.
The beckon is answered.
We're in, We're in.

Hydrogen the Lightest of all.
Oxygen essential to all.
how do you know it's there?
Hydrogen a gas without color.
Oxygen a gas without smell.
How do you know it's there?
Water transparent to all.
Water who's odor is void
How do you know it's there?
Spirit. Who's person is you.
Spirit. The marriage of two.
How do you know?
It's there...
