      Pieces - Willie Perkins III

      Pieces

      Pieces

      By Willie Lorenzo Perkins III

      © 2014 Willie Lorenzo Perkins III. All rights reserved.

      ISBN 978-1-79475-115-6

      Introduction

      This is a small sample of poems taken from a larger collection that I have not decided to publish. These poems and songs represent various times in my life dating back to my early twenties. They tell pieces of my story, and is titled as such. I hope that you enjoy every one of them. I also pray that these words nourish and enlighten you in whatever capacity the Lord see fit. Thank you for hearing my voice.

      Dedication

      This book in part and its entirety is dedicated to Willie and Joyce, God’s gift to their children. Two children who raised us with all the love they could give. Making us the richest kids we know. I love you Pop and Mommy, and I thank God for you both.

      Pop & Mama

      Proud to be given the most beautiful parents a soul could dream about.

      A love that's so profoundly eminent throughout.

      It grasps the very breath of life within you, if given the chance to do it again.

      I would only be reincarnated as a child given to them.

      The Story

      The following poem is to, and about, my daddy. Who not only raised his five kids, but raised other men’s children as well. I first posted this to Facebook. Having this man at the head of our house was a blessing to us all. I always thought of him as super dad. My Pops made a
