GOD'S GIFT TO ME

If you Believe
God
Gives Us
Each a Gift.

Then you
Will Know
Mine Is
From Him.

I Did not Go
To School
As Others Did.

I Did not Go
To High School
To Reach
The Grades
I Should.

I Heard
The Call
Answered
Faith.

My Life
Was
Not
My Own.

When
I Was Young,
I Had
To Take
The Path
That was
Given Me.

No Parents
But an Orphan's
Home.

For
Seventeen Years
I Walked
The Way.

Then The Army
Came To Me.

It Was A Way
To Set Me Free.

Little Did I Know,

The Cost
It Would Take.

It Led Me
To Nam,
Where
I was
Out of Place.

Through The War,
I Tried My Best.

Faith Was Shaken
By The Test.

Then I Came Upon
A Mine.

I Kept My Legs
And My Mind.

When I Found
I Could not Walk,
I Cried Out
To My God.

I Called Upon
His Name To Help.

My Faith
Was not With me.

The Walk
Would not Be Easy.
Though
I Have Wheels Today.

Now Through
My Writings,
I Found
He Is At My Door.

For When
I Reach Heaven.
All The Sorrows
Will Be Gone.

I Am Finding,
He Has Given Me
His Heart.

Blessed Me
With A Purpose.

That I May Reach
Your Heart.

Dedicated To Scotty G
A Soul
Who Hopes
To Be A Poet

A Poeatreeman

I Hope
I Have Helped You,
To Understand.

It Takes All Your Heart
And Faith, To Stand.

Walk The Way
That Will Lead To Him.

The Path
Will Not Be Easy.

The Efforts
Will Win The Way.

Your Efforts
Will Not, Go
Un-rewarded.

Yet Look Not
For Them Today.

They Will Come
Upon You.

In Many
Different Ways.

Look Not
To Man,
To Reap
The Harvest.

For Truth
Is Only
Held By One.

Keep Faith,
It Will All
Take Place
One Day...
