Love, Life & the Lord

By Michael Kieser

My book is a collection of various poems that came to me over
the last twenty years! While they are all quality pieces...
They follow no pattern or style, but are unique in themselves!
They are a gifting from the Lord, for I failed English class &
have not read the Classics. I pledge that they are honest in detail.
And Loveing in effect!
I trust that they will Intrigue, Instruct & Bless you!
- I can wish little more!

Michael Kieser

Hello there, I am a 46 yr. old food service worker/Poet I also took 5 years out to be a CNA for a lot of disabled folks It was a learning experience - Yet it is sad how blind we are to our differences? But I enjoyed the work! I really fed off the relationships I developed with customers and co-workers! A few such situation gave birth to some poems. :-) My poetry developed rapidly. Much of it was a gift from on high! Pity I did do realize that sooner? For I would have written more? - And would have returned the praise! For Faith & Family is what empowers my life & are key topics of my prose? I am one of 8 siblings! I was the negotiator in the family - so I've been through a lot! A Crisis came into my life 4.7 yrs. ago. I was jumped by evil spirits. And I fear that my poetry gift has been hindered? Though I am still writing My future looks troubled to say the least! - For the spirits have framed me for two crimes? But I pledge to you my innocence & my ongoing desire to Honor Life - No matter the age or social rank!

My CREEDO to the World

Et’ Tü Timothy

(Make me a lover)

Has thou been trapped?

   Others are even now!

   Go to them - Help them,

   Set them free!

Has thou been wronged?

   So has thy brother!

   Comfort him

   Thy sister too!

Has thou known chains?

   You are not alone!

Do you bleed?

   Is the battle strong against thee?

   Thy neighbor is also caught up in the fray!

Call out – Reach out … Join him!

   Help him on his way

   Be careful – Take caution!

   Wound them not again!

Have I been oppressed?

   Behold!

   Others have been much more!

Could I stand up

   for their defense?

            Would I?

Can I be trusted

   to work to free them?

            Will I give of myself so?

OH Lord!

   Awaken Me!

      Soften Me!

         Break my Pride!

All Thy gifts to me!

   Dare I hord them so!

      Such Grace – So freely given…

         May I so freely give!

Open me up Father!

   Have me be there for others!

May I build – Yea even be shelter for them

   And Tarry not!

May I bind up their wounds?
