Chapter One
The Church And Me People search the world over, for mountain peaks that crest the sky, But upon leaving, their souls, it did not satisfy. Many spend a lifetime, seeking riches, fortune and fame, Forsaking friends, family and loved ones, what a shame! Families shouldn't turn a deaf ear, to a family member's plea Remember Paul says its our duty, The Church and Me. When a friend is down and their way they can not see, Who'll be there to help them if not the Church and me? No matter should I travel as far as the eyes can see, May I never forget, The Church is in me! Because for some, the church doors, they have yet to cross, If they can't see the church in me, I'm guilty of their loss! Christians shouldn't just leave their Bibles on the shelf, But read what it says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." While waiting in line, be kind, patient, and cool, These are things you should have learned in Sunday School[??] So before we blame the economy, newspapers, and TV, Take time to remember, "The Church is in me." When you see someone down, don't just point to Calvary, Lend them a hand and remember , the Church is in me. When I grow old, steps have slowed , and all my hair is gray, Hope some young person with a smile, will brighten my day. And remind me, I didn't forget your poem , you see, I shall never forget, I remember " The Church is in Me." By Reginald Love October 2005 The Creation There was nothing to watch, and nothing to see, God merely spoke, and the world came to be! God said, "Let there be light," because he could, Then the almighty saw that it was good. Then God separated light from dark, For the first day, not a bad start! Then God separated waters above from waters below, This must have been quite a show! Then God called the space, sky I say, This happened on the second day. Then God without even waving his hand, Created the oceans and dry land! God said, "let the land burst forth with grass, plants and trees, With each one producing like bearing seeds." Not a fairy tale, it happened just this way, And this was just the third day. On the fourth day God showed his might, Created the sun for day and the moon for night! The fifth day proves the big bang theory a lie, God created the fish in the sea, and the birds in the sky! Then God created wildlife, any animal you can find, With each being able to reproduce its own kind. On the sixth day, came a very big plan, God said, "Let us make man." As humble as it might sound, Man was formed from the dust of the ground. God breathed into his nostrils, I'm told, And man became a living soul! 9-19-09 Adam And Eve When the making of all the animals was done, God brought them to Adam to name each one. Animals are creatures not to abandon, But Adam himself, needed a companion. God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep, Then made from his rib, a companion to keep. Adam awoke and was pleased with God's plan, Adam said, "She's part of me and called her wo' man. From the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve were not to eat, But the serpent was shrewd, and full of deceit. The serpent then called God a lie, Told Eve, "You shall not surely die." The serpent said, "God knows it will open your eyes, And you will be like God, all knowing and wise." So the woman went ahead and did eat some, Then Adam ate, after she gave him one. Their eyes opened, they knew nakedness and shame, Since then, things have never been the same. [??] Adam blamed the woman, she blamed the snake, Their wrongdoing seriously affected mankind's fate. God told the serpent, "Since you caused this strife, You will crawl on your belly the rest of your life." Then God told the woman, simple and plain, "You will bear children and suffer in pain." God told Adam, "You listened to her over me, this I can't allow From now on you will live from the sweat of your brow." This was a hard lesson to have to learn, God said, "From dust you came and dust you shall return." 9-21-09 Noah Mankind had become such a disgrace, God decided to destroy the human race. Morality, people would totally disregard, But Noah found favor with the Lord. It had never rained on the earth before, But now God was going to make it pour! God said, "Build an ark from gopher wood," So Noah did the best he could. God said, "Make it four hundred and fifty feet long, Seventy five feet wide, forty five feet high and strong." Then God told Noah what more to do, "Bring in each kind of animal, two by two." Noah had one week to get everyone on board, He managed it, because his family was on one accord. Water burst from the earth and fell from the sky, Now all would know...
