God's Love

Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)

In the light,
twilight is bright.
Stands a girl,
with gold shiny curls.

Unhappy she is,
no joy insight.
Looks down the cliff,
she stands on so high.

The twilight shines brighter,
A star seems to appear.
Small at first,
larger and near.

She looks and sees,
an angel in her sight.
From the cliff,
she does turn.

Happy and with joy,
from all God's love.

Tommy L. Maddox

A path that has lead to history, theology, religion, philosophy and the discovery that his ancestors were famous musicians from King George of France and the Queen Elizabeth the 1st to the first musician to hold the title of Master of the Kings Music. (Nicholas "The Younger" Lanier.) All the way forward in time to "A Street Car Named Desire." There are many other aspects from which he came from and has created his own path which continues to develop as he moves forward. more…
