The Phoenix shall rise!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)



A man!
At birth no plans!
Ashes to ashes were his dust to dust!
Trial after tribulation he still came up!
New days yet old ways!
Nothing about God ever changed!
Love that's infinite!
Will bring kindness to strangers!
Alone in the dark yet playing my part!
My faith is my art!
From my heart won't give up!
Lessons learned were troubles turned!
Through faith and work you can grow the dirt!
Blessings gifts sent!
Jesus is my revern!
I gained life when I gained his message!
A true believer I felt his love present!
He will never change!
My water in the fire!
My Sunshine in the rain!
The healer of my pain!
In death my life again!
