The storm keeps raging
The floods has taken over

I won't be moved by what I see
I won't be moved by what people try to do to me
No weapon formed against me shall prosper

I come through many trials
God has always guided me since I was a child
I'd get bad news, cry and weep

To come home just to fight
I have given all I have to strangers and familiar faces

Walking the streets in this day is a risk
Gutless muderers ,rapist, terrorist running rampad
Young and foolish don't listen to the wise
Yes, the elder have wisdom,that is so often compromised
Teenage girls roaming with ridiculous short skirts
Shocking news, they are already sexually active
We wonder why this world is full of hurts
Why is this world full of darkness
Light has to be filtrated in a dark place
Jesus Christ, is the answer! Easy to embrace
If we believe in the lord, we shouldn't be trapped
More prayer in the homes, reading the bible
Yes, this is the answer how to escape darkness
I am in the world but with Jesus there is life
Make a difference in this world and fight the strife
Show someone charity and love this should be no price
Can you run to Jesus and escape this dark world
I already did so join me and take a stand

Why must we quarrel about useless things
We are suppose to be close human beings
Our nieces, nephews, cousins never see one another
Don't know the last time I have seen my brother
\How do we ignore this, do we have a conscience
Family sticks together in times of need
Not trying to gain something for their own greed
\All I want is peace, love and unity
It's ashame because we represent the community
Many families broken apart
So sad that we must depart
\Stop the stubborness and join hands
Maybe someone other than myself will take a stand

She wanders around town smiling without a frown
Bursting with pain, her heart is upside down
Her statue is tall, slender, Beautiful, strong
To gaze upon her, who would know something is wrong
So, what is her secret?
\This beautiful woman wears a mask
Hiding her secret is an exuasting task
Restless lying in the bed staring into the night
Submerged with wounds and memories, it's such a fight
So, what is her secret?
\What is her secret? Have you figured it out!
Raped,molested and physically abused without a doubt
Struggling for self-acceptance,love,having envy
Nobody knows her day to day battles, it's hard to see
\She wears make-up and fancy clothes to hide the hurt
Her hair is always nicely combed and everyone stares
But yet she is down trodded and needs many prayers
Will she tell, or continuesly hide and be ashamed
The Woman With A Secret

Today, in this world, children are being abandoned
For years I have lived this; my son's father left us stranded
The youth in this generation are hurting, broken, wounded
Before they were given a chance, they were already intruded
I have watched boys and girls build up anger, rage, hatred
Inside they feel and believe they have missed something sacred
What are we to do when we see children suffer because of this
We teach them it's not their fault,
In return they will grow healthy
They will always know how to function
And become positive and be wealthy
Fathers do not realize the damage they do
To a child when they leave
When they do, it is up to me and you
To give a child hope and teach them to cope
A fatherless child can survive if we spend
The time and lend a helping hand
We shall keep in mind that saving our children
Is in demand and God's Command

Sometimes it feels like I can't get ahead
I always ask myself, what is it that I dread
The answer is, we all don't like to fail
but when we fail, we cannot afford to bail
we must hang in there and stand to the end
even when it's hard and gloomy and some wind
In our lives, there is heartache and pain
if we give up, what have we really to gain
My father has recently deceased
I was very sad and not pleased
I became angry and very weak
then God is whom I began to seek
for hope and understanding and to move ahead
now I know that I can go on without a dread
So, instead of going backwards,I always see
that there is nothing that can stop me
if I keep focus on success and not failure!
My father always said don't go in circles
Therefore, I move forward and I will get ahead
Wisdom is what he taught me even on his death bed
