Open this "Poetic Mixture;" and see what's inside, Allow my God given talent to take you for a ride. Don't judge this book by the very first poem. Please! Dig a wee bit deeper. Once you've thumbed through where my mind have gone, I'm for certain you'll want to keep her. You know sometimes when you hear a song, Or a thought may come to mind. Someone may say something that just sticks, And it ends up being a rhyme. Everything is not just poetry, There is laughter, private thoughts, and plenty of praise. In addition there are some things that I've recollected, From way back in the days. With a twist right here and a turn over there, This was written for your delight. But all things are not so amusing, When you have to take a stand and fight. No, I haven't always been Christ-like, And many struggles I tastefully share. But don't get so holy and shut this book, Like your mind have never been there. Check it out! You'll be inspired! Enjoy this hearty treat! The whole shebang was purposely designed, To touch your heart and make you think.
