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

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 ...

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
