God, He Is Poetry

By Lonetta Taylor

I WAS BORN IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY BUT WAS RAISED BY MY AUNT
CARRIE AND UNCLE BASS IN PARIS TENNESSEE.
I WAS ALWAYS A CREATED CHILD GROWING UP, BUT POETRY WAS NOT
MY THING AT THE TIME, ART WAS. I WAS SO GOOD ONCE UPON A TIME
THAT I WAS OFFERED A CAREER IN A ART SCHOOL.
MY MOM WOULD NOT LET ME TAKE IT BECAUSE I WAS ONLY SIXTEEN
AND THE SCHOOL WAS OUT OF STATE. I WAS MORE IN TO DRAWING
CARTOON CHARACTERS THAN REGULAR ART. MY LIFE TOOK A TURN
FOR THE WORSE, AND I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO PURSUE MY
CAREER. I MARRIED, AND HAD THREE DAUGHTERS. I NOW HAVE SIX
GRANDCHILDREN, WHOM I AM PROUD OF.
SO MUCH HAVE HAPPENED IN MY LIFE THAT I STARTED WRITING
CERTAIN EXPERIENCES OF WHICH I STARTED TO PUT IT TO POETRY.
GOD HAVE BEEN IN THE MIST OF IT ALL, SO THIS IS WHY I WRITE
CHRISTIAN POETRY. WITHOUT HIM IN MY LIFE, I DONT KNOW WHAT MY
LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE. HE HAS BEEN MY STRENGTH, PROVIDER,
HEALER AND MY BEST FRIEND.
I PRAY THIS BOOK WILL BE A BOOK OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
EVERYONE YOUNG, AND OLD. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

GOD

HE IS POETRY

I Write Poetry

I WRITE POETRY BECAUSE GOD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TO ME.

I EXPRESS MYSELF BECAUSE HE FULFILLS ALL MY NEEDS.

MOST OF THE WORDS THAT COMES TO MIND,

IT’S MY LIFE OF SEEING WHAT GOES ON IN TIME.

LIFE IS POETRY TO ME AND I CAN UNDERSTAND,

THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN LIFE IS NOT CREATED BY MAN.

THE LIFE OF OTHERS, THE SADNESS, THE LOVE, THE CHILDREN,

FITS IN MY TREND OF THOUGHT,

THE WORDS GOD PLACED IN MY MIND IS A PRICE

THAT CAN’T BE BOUGHT.

SOME PEOPLE DON’T RHYME IN POETRY, BUT I DO.

I GUESS YOU CAN SAY THAT I’M JUST OLD SCHOOL.

WHATEVER A PERSON WRITE IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE,

I’M JUST A POETRY WRITER WHO LIKES TO RHYME.

THANK YOU LORD FOR LETTING US SEE ANOTHER DAY,

THANK YOU LORD FOR TAKING SOME OF OUR PAINS AWAY.

THANK YOU LORD FOR LAST NIGHT OF SLEEP,

AND WHEN WE AWOKE THIS MORNING,

YOU LIFTED OUR SOULS TO

KEEP.

LEAD US THIS DAY WITH A SMILE ON OUR
