Work In Progress....No Name

I was inspired to write this yesterday morning. People always tell me I should try songwriting since I write poetry. I can honestly say I've tried and it's harder than it seems. However this is the first poem that I felt had song potential. It would be a simple song of course but its a start. I guess I'll see where the Lord leads. I'll be sure to keep you updated. Since this is still a work in progress it has no name yet.



In this task you've chosen for me
I want to work Lord, so fervently
Giving my time and breaking my will
Serving you with all my skills
Let my light always shine for you
In all I say Lord, in all I do

Don't let me fall or give up the fight
Let me always walk in your light
If doubt ever clouds my view
Let me catch a glimpse of you
And should I stumble while I strive
Take my hand and guide my life

Lord give me strength to do your will
To serve in your kingdom and work in your fields
Keeping my hands ever on the plow
I'll be your servant, I'll be your child

For it is all that my heart desires
To hear you saying, well done my child
To know that I could faithful be
Heeding your calls when you speak to me

A Reason To Stay

I didn't want you to get bored reading all my rookie pieces so I'm throwing in one of my newer poems. I were this one night when I just felt a real urgency to give a message to the youth. It seemed like all the young people in my assembly were focusing on those that had  left us and what we needed to do about that. I sat down at my computer with a heavy spirit and the words just came..... A Reason To Stay 8/12/13 The words I pen, on this page before me, are written with my deepest conviction . As I struggle for a way to convey them, I hope I can portray my spirit of passion. It's with great emotion and words of prayer, I write this epistle to the youth of my day. I request to you who's reading this that you would take heed to the words that I say.     It seems that in the darkness of the valley lately we are losing sight Of the very reason that we work so hard to keep our torches bright. So what could be the cause of a distraction so great T...

Words

A gift from God. A powerful tool. The beginning of love. An abused privilege.   The beginning of fights.  The destroyer of trust. The ink we dip our pens into. The paint of speech.  Words.     ~ Kesheena Words .  The beginning of comprehension. They're the basis of communication among mankind. A talent taught to the youngest of babes from the beginning of life. A powerful tool that, when used correctly enhances our existence yet, is capable of destroying our emotional balance when not. An ability that we often misuse and abuse. Words begin to bombard us the minute we become conscious in the morning. The only reprieve we have from them is when slip into the blissful, unconsciousness of sleep in the night. Even then words continue to permeate our subconscious mind.  There is no escaping them.   Many of us don't realize what power we have within us. The words we use may affect people in ways we aren't even...

No Light

Just a quick thought with a rhyme. Yes I know it has a Dr. Suess flow to it. HAHA. You might have to read it twice to comprehend it. I wrote it and I still have to read it through twice. Well enjoy!! What if there was no light? There’d be no wrong then, right? And if there’s no wrong then there’s no right. And where there’s no right there can’t be light. And without the light we have no sight. The whole world is dark as night. So if there’s no me and there’s no you doing what God has called us to do. Then there’s no light, no wrong, no right. In essence there is no fight. So be the light you’re called to be. The kind that helps the blind to see. 8/16/14
