"Lil Brandon"
Mommy be strong for me
Because I’m on my way to heaven
Daddy be rejoiceful for me
I’m resting in peace
My brothers, I didn’t get the chance to grow with you
Because my Father has called me home
But do remember me for the smiles and happiness I brought into you lives
Even though I only passed through this life just for a little while
In Loving Memories of Brandon
"Mother"
This poem is dedicated to my mother
Mrs. Daisy Lee Ishmon
Mother, Mother my best friend
Hope you are with us to the end
I regret the things I’ve said and done
But, at the time, we were having so much fun
I know you’re always by my side
Whenever I’ve tried to compromise
Mother, Mother my sweet dear
Put your trust in God and have no fear
Through rough times and good times
He’s your friend
He’ll walk with you
Til the end
Just stretch out on faith and wisdom too
He’ll know just what to do for you
"Don’t Give Up The Hope"
Life is short; life is sweet
As each day pass we complete
I don’t know where we are going
But I do know where we have been
And that, is in the past, in which I prefer to be in
Of course, we have to take one day at a time
When in this world we have so much crime
There are sons against fathers
Daughters against mothers
And small children have started killing their brothers
We have marijuana, cocaine, and pipe smoking crack
That can kill all of you and that’s a fact
And please don’t forget about the disease called AIDS
That has helped kill off millions in the decade
There are guns, knives, and big bombs too
And the world will be destroyed on mental attitude
There are days when I am happy
Days when I am sad
There are days it seems that the whole world has gone mad
My only wish is that someday we’ll be free
And come to grips in reality
There is not a day that goes by
That I don’t ask myself how, when, and why
There is a reason behind everything we do when the bible has spoken that has become so true
Little kids trying to grow up so fast
Instead of trying to stay alive to graduate along with their class
So keep the faith and don’t give up the hope
Take you life serious; it’s not just a joke

About the Book
This book is a spiritual uplifting book of poems to stir up the many souls of individual as Christians and sinners. To bring them closer to Christ. They are poems to let you know how good God is to me, and what he can do for you, if you only trust and believe in him.
My Writing is the blessing that God has stowed upon my mind and my heart to share with everyone. To have a special relationship with God our divine Heavenly Father who is the keeper of all our faith. It is through the many miracles and blessings that he has placed upon us as individual, we need to praise him and thank him for all that he has done. It is a book of dedications, appreciations, prayers, praising, and thanks for being a shepard, mother, father, sisters, and brothers. I thank God for the opportunity he has given me, because without him I couldn’t do nothing, but through him I can do all things.
