Words Are...


Words are our weapon
What a powerful sword we wield
There is no armour against them
No defense, no shield

There's no recovery from its scars
No clotting for the bleeding
Whether the word is spoken
Or it's a document for reading

With words we shape our children
We build up friends or tear them down
Even the smallest phrase
Can free a mind or keep them bound

Be careful how you use them
For once it's drawn there's no going back
Use your weapon wisely
And not always for attack

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
