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 41 st
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 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.
I’m a soldier now….
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!!!!!!!
