AJH Forever more When we are young We don't think How time will pass us by. I never thought Your dad would soon die. I never thought to keep in touch. I never thought you would Miss him so much. When we are young We don't think How fast time will pass by. So I left, never realizing That one day He would be hard to find. And honey, I was Just so blind. I see now that your dreams Were totally left behind. When we are young we go This way, we go that, Thinking life will stand still Imagining our lives always will..... Until........ One day, years later, You realise that one day Was suppose to be yesterday, And yesterday slipped Quietly away. When I was young I didn't think. Little did I see that You needed more. Little did I see that Your dreams would Slip right out that door. Too soon do we forget That our kids will live Tomorrow thinking yesterday Could have brought much Much more. One day in time you Will see your lovely Dad for evermore. Until that time, your Love for him in your Heart you will store. He looks down at you, Proud, happy and content Knowing you love him Forever and ever more. MmeOdileS 10/03/06

Your Face Our world is a place, A chance to meet, a chance to greet Our brothers of a different race. Boundries of invisible lines, Bound together by earth and sea. Why do we commit such crimes? Where are our hearts? Have we lost our soul? Deep down it starts, Why do we offend thee so? Our earth, our birth, our rights To live: freedom is a part of us, Yet here we are not ending fights, Not sharing love from above. Stepping on man until he crys, Enjoying power to control Our brothers of a different race, Loosing our lives, our very soul That was given to us by grace. Why do we offend thee so? Pray for us, that we Should turn our hearts from stone, To fires that begin to burn. Seek our God, give him our lives, Let him wrap us in His arms... Oh Lord of Love, hear our crys. We yearn to love you so. By loving you, by keeping you Close to our lives, our hearts Will soon begin to grow. We will SEE our brothers Of a different race and In them we will see YOUR FACE.

White Thinking Black Through the crowds I walk Into the crowds, they talk. Eyes on us! Let us catch the bus! Feeling the breath of a whisper, I hear... "What's that black man doing, Mister?" Into my soul I feel the look... Do they see me as a crook? As I walk by, they grab their bags, She clutches her purse, Only thinking the worst. Does my color spell out sin? Am I too dark for them to comprehend? I mean, what is it with my skin? Do they not see God God within us all? Black, white, little, small... Even tall? Through the crowds we walk, Into the crowds we talk. God walks, God sees, God smiles,... God is Black, God is Brown, From this earth, This very earth, We came... From this very ground From HIS own creation God will NEVER frown, He made black,white and even brown! Lyllian Crenshaw-Sapp 04/17/02

Christi's Prayer Christi's Angels Came to the door. Calling her by name, They placed a Magnificant Carpet On the pearly white floor. They welcomed her. They opened their loving And tender arms. "My dear little one Now there you are! Free from ALL pain. There are no more storms. Come quick to meet Jesus. He wants you to shine More brilliant than The brightest star. You will be at his side From morning til night. Hurry little one, He is here. Look little Christi." And, Christi with her Lovely eyes, Gazed at Jesus, Her smile said it all. "Jesus, she asked With a small tiny voice, "I have one question For you today. "Can all the angels That I see here this day, Keep my family company While I'm away." "Why of course," Said the Lord With a smile On His Face. "Ask what you want... "Now you are here And your family there. The path you NOW share Will always be prayer." And angels will watch Both day and night Both your Mommy and daddy And your sister too. Then Christi with that Grin on her face. Was content with Jesus And the answers He gave. So she ran off to Play With the angels For the rest of the day. :) ------------------------------------ God Bless the family Lyllian (Written after Christi met Jesus) 06/?/06
