SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

 

 

 

SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS





SOMETIMES


WHEN IT RAINS.


I FEEL

IT'S GOD'S TEARS

WASHING ME.



SOMETIMES


WHEN IT RAINS.


I THINK

IT'S GOD'S ANGER

FLOODING

THE SEAS.



SOMETIMES


WHEN IT RAINS.


I FEEL

GOD'S SORROW

POURING THROUGH.



SOMETIMES


WHEN IT RAINS.


GOD IS WASHING

THE EARTH CLEAN.


DEDICATED TO OUR TROOPS
WHY IS TOO BIG TO ANSWER
FAITH HAS A MUCH GREATER
ANSWER.
BECAUSE WILL ONLY WONDER WHY
YES MY FRIEND SOME WILL DIE. Violin


POEATREEMAN

A DELUGE OF LOVE

POURS OVER ME

THEN I KNOW

IT'S GOD'S LOVE

SHOWERING ME

POET'S NOTE

WE ARE ALL UNDER GOD'S UMBRELLA
HE SHOWERS US ALL,  HIS GIFT IS LOVE
THAT WE MAY FIND HIS WAY
WE HAVE TODAY TO COUNT OUR BLESSINGS
TOMORROW I MAY MEET MY MAKER

THE STRENGTH OF PEACE


A Strong Peace
Is a Strong Heart.

Keeping it
Is not through War.

Giving one's Love
Will keep it more.

Holding a Gun
Will help no One.

Making Peace
Cannot be done.

Making War
Peace will not be Won.

Sharing One's World
Will help us all.

Understanding our Differences
Will open the Door.

Sharing our Humanity
Peace can be Reborn..

A THOUGHT!

Man must Face His Iniquities First

Knowing Peace will not come
Until He Changes for the Best.

Hard as it is what is Left ?

Peace or Death it's up to you

Time is one thing we do not have
It passed us Yesterday.

When we lost the chance
The Death of Peace will Kill us all.

A Poeatreeman

The Strength of Peace is held up High
When man places God in Charge.

The Strength of Love will hold up God
When man learns to Love each one.

Peace will not have to be Won

When man turns away from War
He will have Won yet not from War.

GOD'S HOUSE TOO


I live in God's House
outside the Heavens.


For one day
I hope to be with Him.


Until I do
I must make the best

For this is where,
I must learn the rules.


To take not
but share in all

To give love,
when they're
holding up a gun.


To hate not
even
the wrongness done.


To let God
handle all that I can't.


To give me the wisdom
of what I must do

To pray for the World,
that we may be one.


To not lose reason
of why I am here

To live this life,
the best I can.


To stay
in God's House
until He calls

To keep my faith,
when all seems wrong.


Dedicated To Melissa

I LIKE IT TO BE


IT'S ONE HOUSE
I Like it To Be

At POET'S PLACE
Not Closed in.
But Left Outside


UNDER GOD'S BLUE SKY
ONE GREAT CROSS,
ACROSS YOUR EYES


YOU Can See Miles Wide

Touching YOUR HEART
Making YOU FEEL
THE JOY OF GOD


For HE'S
THERE RIGHT BESIDE

LOOKING
INTO YOUR HEART


Knowing
Why YOU'RE There

YOU'VE Come
To See Not To Look


For VISION IS YOUR HEART ,
LOVE IS THE KEY

To UNLOCK
And Open YOUR HEART


To Let GOD See
And Ask HIM IN

Thank YOUR LORD
For Having Me in


Thank YOU GOD
FOR ALL YOU'VE BEEN


Thank YOU JESUS
FOR YOUR LOVE in Me


THANK YOU ALL FROM ABOVE.

A Poeatreeman

This Is Where I First Felt GOD
Look Where I Am Now
Happy And Free
Not From Hurt For I Still Care
THE FIRST TIME I SAW
I NAMED IT
POET'S PLACE AUG. 2,1983

I FELT GOD WAS THERE WITH ME
I WAS AT PEACE.

GOD'S HOUSE


I built 
my House 
with 
The 
Tools of Life

I built 
my foundation 
under it all

I live 
with it 
until 
the end of life 

I rose 
to find 
it still stood right 

I built 
it on 
The Laws of God 

I found 
that I was 
always there 

In God's House 
For 
I never left 

Heaven it was 

For 
I was only 
outside praying .

THE RIVER FLOWS | POEATREEMAN on Xanga






   

THE RIVER FLOWS

 
A River starts and flows apart
To where the end has just begun

To where the earth has drunk its wine
To where the stream has poured its life

To where the path has touched us all
To where we flow in all its parts

To where we stream to reach mid stream
To where the River bends

To where we find we're at the end
To where we know it streams again..

A Poeatreeman

We are Born,
Death Does not Have To Be,
The End
The River Flows, To God.


Dedicated to His Highness
Prince Abdvllah Mohammed Bin Saud Alkabeir

LIFE IS NOT YOUR ADVERSARY FAILURE IS | POEATREEMAN on Xanga









Opponents


If Success and Failure
Are Opponents

Then Defeat
is the Referee

When  Neither
one is Successful

Then Defeat
takes this Round.

I could not Fail,
I could not Lose

Oh! the cries
I’ve Heard
When Ego Boasted.

I could have Won,
Arrogance Hailed.

I am Fighting air.

Win, Lose, or Draw,
It is  not
the smartest Bet. 

When Defeat
Is Staring
you in the face.

Mirroring
your every move.

He will surely
take you down.

Round one is not over.

Punches are thrown.
From all Directions.

Bob and weave,
Will let you stay in.

Keep on Fighting,
To the end.

Will!

Will last as long as you.

Life is not
the one to fight.

All the wrongs
that are not right.

Will!

Will help you
in your plight.

Wrong is your
Greatest Opponent.

You must fight.

Love will soften
when it can
                   
Those bruises
will show
Now and then.

God can mend
What man has done.

Round two

Life goes on.
It is hard to fight.
All lifelong.
What can I say?   
Try to Win
There are still rounds
to be Won.

Now count. 
To the ends,
You will know
your wear.

You’ve faced it all, 
And shown the  best.

What more is left
Then to see
it all through?

You stood your ground
In spite of failures.

Now
you can call yourself

A Champ.

God is in your corner
He will keep you
in the round.

Remember!

You always
have a prayer.

Say it now.
For it may be
your last round....

A POET’S NOTE

Success and I
Are very old friends
It is failure
I do not want to see again...
Defeat,
Keeps me in the rounds
I have to fight both.
To win this round.
Success and Failure
Are my lifelong mates
I have to deal with them
Round by Round
It is never over
As long as I’m around....

A Poeatreeman

“When the Trumpets Blow”
WHEN THE TRUMPETS BLOW****
Revisit once again
You will better understand.
Defeat is not your friend.
It is the Opponent
That will fight you
To the end..

Visions of a Peaceful Planet ; IS IT ONLY A DREAM ? | POEATREEMAN on Xanga







A BRIDGE TOO FAR


DISTANT IS ONLY A BRIDGE

MAN

CAN BRIDGE THE STARS.

YET

THE HEART IS TOO  FAR.

THE SOUL

TOO MUCH FOR MAN’S GOAL.

THE DREAMS

MAN WON’T SEE.

HE’S KNOCKING DOWN BRIDGES

FOR PEACE TO WALK THROUGH.


POEATREEMAN

DISTANT IS ONLY A HAND REACH

ONE BRIDGE WILL LET US SPEAK.

ONE WAR CAN BRIDGE US ALL

ONE END CAN END US ALL.

WILL PEACE BE A PART OF YOU ?


THEN EXTEND !

YOUR HEART
IN FRIENDSHIP.


THEN PEACE

WILL BRIDGE US ALL.

A ROAD TRAVELED

AN EXPERT


If
I Give Credence
To an Expert
What Do
I Give To Myself?

If
I Expect
an Answer
Why
Have I not
Found it Myself?

I Must Listen
To Truth
To Know
Which
Answer is Right
There are
Expert Liars
Who are not Right..

BELIEF


The True Bible
is FAITH
For The Words
WRITTEN
Are in
The HEART
No Words
Can Be ERASED
For The Words
Written are FAITH
No Words
Will Ever
Be IMPRINTED
Unless
I BELIEVE
St. Peter
DISOWNED Me
Before
The Clock
Struck TWELVE
St. Thomas
DOUBTED
Before
He BELIEVED
I Have a Chance
To Walk With GOD
I Have a Chance
To BELIEVE
When I Put
My FAITH In HE.

HARVESTING


The Best Way
To Plant
WISDOM
Is The Seed
of KNOWLEDGE
The GROWTH
Will Depend
On How
WISE You Are
INTELLIGENCE
Must Be
The SOIL
If WISDOM is
To PROPAGATE
For
The HARVEST
Yield
Is EQUAL
To The GROWTH
There is
Only One SEASON
To GATHER It All
Take EACH Day
To LEARN
From Before.
