A 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

In a training field called life

In a training field called life

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 Georgia

Born and raised

East forty first Street

Is

where it’s 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 street 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…….

Every attack with pray

And reading the

Word of God……,,

With a smile on her face

She made away

Out of no way.

She

Had no limitations

She was ridiculed

Through life

Put down by many

But she kept her faith

As her tears fell

She prayed

and kept singing the

Song

I will trust

in the Lord

Every day she showed me

How

She trusted in God

For herself

Day to Day………..

the lessons

She taught me

Have

Made me a true

soldier in

God’s

Army!!!!!

Thank you Jesus!!!!

For saving me!!!!!

It was my grandma!!

Who paved my

Way!!!!

Praying hard

night to night

Covering us all

From the devils

Plan

Thank you!!!! Jesus …………

For saving grace!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!! Jesus………..

For saving…………….GRACE!!!!!!!
