Training field

From the beginning

I knew

I was different

Never realizing

How strong

I had to

Be

Not knowing how cruel

life would be

I chose to see it

Through glass eyes

Not compromising my

Life to

keep

peace

Sharing truth

Is where it

Gets deep

Standing bold

in confidence

Showing no

Weakness

when the

Enemy

tried to

Grip me

Trying to take control

Over my mind

I learned how to fight

On my knees………….

My mind wasn’t

Weak

I had to be strong

No tears falling

because of a

Sad song

Life hurts

but

You can

make it

Standing strong in

the spirit

Reading

and

praying

Singing to

The

Lord to renew

My spirit

I was born a

soldier through

And

Through while

Fighting battles

I never imagined

Dealing with demons

That tried to grab me

Never in the army

did I have to fight

Never in the streets

Just home at

night

Savannah G.A

Born and raised

East forty-first street

Is

where it was

staged

The corner house

Had some secrets

And

Made some

Memories

But it

Tried to

bury

Me…….

The trials of life

had me down

But I

remembered

Grandma

Taught me

How to pray

I fell on my knees

For a brighter day

Seeking guidance

To lead the way

I thought I was weak

But I learned to

Survive

grandma’s house the training

Field

taught me

to pray

For better days

She

Taught me morals

And to

trust in

the Lord

day by day

Stronger

than most

At a early age

Seen so many things

I had to refrain

Keep things

Silent

Family is private

East side tried

To break me

And

bury me

But west side

Trained

Me how to

Survive

Not with guns

But on my knees

Grandma’s prayers

Showed me the

Way.

West side made me proud

Summer to summer

I played around

Grandma’s house

a training field.

West

36th and Burroughs

Made me real……..

Grandma

Took me to

church

To show me

A

better way

Introduced me to

God as

my saving

grace

She taught me to

Forgive

When it seemed to be hard,

And not to fear

Evil

But to

Overcome…….

With a smile on her face

She made away

She

Had no limitations

She trusted in God

Day to Day

Love the lessons

She taught me

How to stand

Strong!!!!

I’m a soldier now….

In

God’s

Army
