Today I received a call from my uncle, as I do from time to time, it reawakened my inner purpose, my calling, the one thing that has been mine for most all of my life... My Poetry!
So take a moment and re-enter into my world, my flash back from a poem I emailed my family.

I am but a child Lips still wet with the milk of a nipple A small head innocent Life was simple Pleased by ice sickles and bubble gum Kick ball and recess Look at how far I’ve come Indeed was mistaken on the paths that ran after Un be knownst to what my life would capture Looking through my past I inquire within a pastor "Prophesize" For I am mislead in my thoughts Sometimes my soul is o.k But most time distraught He spoke See the devil has a certain way to keep Gods people caught They live In a way that’s, mostly just talk And they pray for what they want And loose what they got Straying from the straight and narrow And slowly loosing there spot Only to die with the nonbelievers for eternity and rot I Do Not… I replied I want that eternal life The promised to rid the world of all struggle and strife I’m ready to live right And you are so right I’m crawling from out the darkness And embracing the light It’s a spiritual fight And I am so ready for the battle Uplifting the Lord my God No longer lurking in the shadows Acknowledging his word And the way it set me free And remembering his grace For on that day he shall remember me- Nicole MzHairPoetry Douglas-Phillips
