Continue The Work

Here's another one of my first poems.

Continue The Work
by Kesheena LeVasseur
03/07/09

My Father has died
I work in his stead
As was his request
from his death bed

He asked me to continue
The work he'd begun
To bring forth a people
Jesus' bride, His chosen one

The work has been hard
I've enlisted much help
To bring forth a people
Gaining no earthly wealth

But the work has be profitable
So many lives saved
From the road of sin
Satan himself had paved

We bring them to church
Preach to them the word
Tell them they can make it
If their loins they will gird

So many have come
To have their souls fed
For to Jesus Christ
They wish to be wed

But my time has now come
To join my father
I will now leave the work
To my sons and my daughters

I will tell to them
As my father told me
That to finish this job
They must work faithfully

The work will be hard
The days and nights long
They'll find many things
That could and will go wrong

But don't give up
For the reward is great
Eternal life with the one
Who did us all create

So get ready my children
For the fire will come
But it is worth it to hear Him say
“Well done, my child, well done!”

In The Beginning

This is the first poem I'd ever written. My pastor had just given a lesson on the subject creation and I felt inspired to write this. It was my first taste of poetry and I've been hooked ever since! I believe my talent has grown much since this poem but I wouldn't want to forget where I began..... In the Beginning by Kesheena LeVasseur 02/14/09 In the beginning When God created His Son He said “ Let's make a world” Let it revolve around the Son So in the beginning A world was made The word of God tells us It took Him six days In the beginning God made Adam and Eve Out of the dust of the earth And into them life He breathed In the beginning God created a tree, Outside of the garden, Of which he told them not to eat In the beginning A choice Adam made To disobey God And go his own way And in the beginning Out of Eden they were sent And because of their sin Back to the dust they went Even now today ...

The Team Member

Another rookie.... The Team Member By Kesheena Levasseur 4/1/09 there was a little boy on a team one day He couldn't catch, he couldn't throw but on the team he wanted to stay He wasn't there to watch or play he just helped the team in his own little way The day he was chosen they didn't want him to stay He was too slow and they told him so He was a failure at their sport, the team would never win But to the championship they were on their way Because of the boy they chose that day When the trophy they got They didn't mention his name Though he'd contributed a lot to the game He'd carried the water and chased stray balls And when the boys fell, an encouragement he'd called But when he was questioned very happy he seemed for he was content just to be a part of the team Here in the Body you may not receive The attention you want but don't be deceived Hold your peace, stay in your place Everyone here is needed God sees you...

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
