The words to this poem were given to me by God at a time I really needed them. Yes
I said God I know in today's world the word God is not supposed to be used. I'm tired
of everyone else telling me what I can and cannot do.
You see we go through life always listening to others and it is a important to listen. But
when you listen you should believe your heart it will never steer you wrong. At times it
may seem that it sent you in the wrong direction. But if you look back at it in the future
you will see it was where you were meant to be. Always trust your heart it doesn't
matter what people say. I know people always tell me if you always use your heart for
thinking you will get used by others. If God means me to be used by others then I
shall be used. I see God as a loving God who loves all. That's all I feel I need to say
right now. I may bring God up later but that's all for now.
I remember a time when I was little going to school, I was the short kid that wore thick
glasses with cheap frames. that's all my family could afford. the early 1970's glasses
were not cool. One of the classes I hated most was gym class because I knew when
we had to partner up I was the one left standing alone. When Kids picked teams I was
the one that neither team wanted. I always felt why did God make me this way. I never
realized until now as I write this book that those kids were just doing what they had
been taught to do. We were always told you have to be better than others. When we
should have been taught that everyone is equal no mater what they look like or can
do, If your better than someone else help them get better. I remember always being
called names like 4 eyes and other things. I was raised to believe Stick and stones
will Break your bones but names will never hurt you. so the names never hurt me.
Today as I write this I think that the names and things people use to hurt you are only
mean or bad because someone in our life told us they were bad or mean words.
There are so many words now that we can't say because someone may be offended
by them. The way I see it the only way a word can hurt you or offend you is if you let it.
God gave us 10 commandments to follow and the only one I know that has anything to
do with words. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain. Which I
thinks means don't use his name in anger.
