On My Way Home
One of these days, God’s going to call me home/
Leaving behind family, friends/
And untied ends/
But my biggest fear is leaving my wife to be alone/
With the kids/
Even though/
I know/
That she’ll be taken care of/
It’s that love/
That I will continue to give from above/
No matter if she chooses to be/
Single/
As a widow or chooses to mingle /
And remarry/
On my way home, but which day will it be/
It’s not planned like a trip home to
When I get to heaven I’ll be looking for family/
That passed on before me/
My grandfather Richard I’ll give a big hug/
Show him pictures of my daughters/
And ask him about my cousins that are brothers/
Roland and Roderick, so I can show them some love/
To/
My Aunties
And Donna/
I haven’t forgotten about you/
Two/
Still special in my heart not a week goes by that I’m not thinking of you/
Two/
And not to forget my late/
Great/
Grandmother Annie Clardy/
And those I never met before me/
Her husband Willie/
My mothers/
Grandmother/
And grandfather/
Eli and Mary Council
Yes, hello from your great grandson/
Many seconds to minutes from hours to days/
Have passed to weeks to months and years known as yesterdays/
Never again/
To come again/
On my way home, but which day will it be/
I’m not sure how it’s going to happen or where I will be/
To my wife/
LaToya I wish that you could see/
That you mean more than just life to me/
If I could do anything more valuable for you my Queen I’d build you a city/
To my daughters Aurieanna/
And Alanna/
A match made in heaven to become sisters that are so close with your age so far apart/
Your mother and I worried about this from the start/
But God saw fit for what both he/
And we/
Wanted/
My two little angels God knows what’s best for you and what’s unwanted/
Love each other/
Take care of both your needs/
And like your mother don’t depend on no man to fulfill your needs/
Listen to her, she’ll tell you that’s not the way to succeed/
Have a greed/
For that degree indeed/

About the Book
First off I would give honor to God for the gift of writing poetry. This book was put together with poems that I have written beginning about 6 years ago, and I still have more poems to share. The first poem I had ever written is called Stray Away, because I was upset with someone I was involved with and the rest like she; is history! Well, I had a couple of friends’ critique it and I got rave reviews; not to mention that I had also sent the poems to her friends by email who in turn said I was wrong for the things I said, but they loved it, so I began writing more poems and using my feelings or using the feelings of friends’ who were down and out. I wrote poems to feel their pain, love, and excitement.
My title of the book called, The Sunshine from Behind a Mountain is definitely what it is. There are many burdens that people go through with during their life, which represent the mountain, but to know that you have an exit such as writing poetry, playing basketball, skinny dipping, or turning donuts in a parking lot, whatever it is that you do to make you happy is your sunshine. I hope you feel my poetry, and that it may bring sunshine to your life!
