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 all, every person, every face
Be like that little boy and keep working hard
to keep it your dream
to be a part of God's team

Pardoned

Pardoned, forgiven, exonerated From our sinful nature liberated All guilt, all blame, and shame Were absolved when Jesus came He came to save yet was rejected Tried and tested, yet finished perfected Sentenced to die like a common criminal A thief on each side with Him in the middle He carried the cross on that long walk The crowd stood by simply to mock With every drive of the stakes in His hands He redeemed the lives of sinful man All around the people jeered They pierced His side with a spear A crown of thorns upon His head He bore the shame for us instead Only when darkness covered the skies Did they truly come to realize The extent of the damage done When they crucified the Chosen One 7/13/14

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

In My Shoes

One day a friend of mine was trying to help me see that I was wrong about something. As a typical human, I instantly became defensive. How dare they attempt to correct me when they hadn't lived my life? What did they know? The story of how this poem came about and the results of our talk are posted on my sister blog: www.mytribute2him.blogspot.com . The post is titled "So I'll try again...If You Will Hold My Hand" if you want to check it out. Enjoy! In My Shoes 12/27/11 Walk a mile in my shoes Take a journey through my past Observe. Respect. Never assume. Always ask Walk a mile in my shoes Carry my burdens for awhile Suffer every fear, every hurt, each scar, each trial Walk a mile in my shoes See the world through my eyes Feel my love, see my tears, hear my silent cries Walk a mile in my shoes Before you tell me how to live Understand me before advice to me you give You say "o that's easy" Have answers for all my pr...
