A Steady Wilson's Poem
FROM this "Yo baby, hey woman
Hip-hop, flip-flop,
Steady half-stepping"- world…
YOU came into my life.
FROM this " Hey daddy,
Gimmie this, prove that,
How much you got, kind of world …
YOU came into my life.
When you came into my life the strife receded.
When you came into my life the joy interceded.
When you came into my life, I lost my chief gripe
When you came into my life, my destiny was suddenly ripe
With you in my life- everyday has light
With you in my life -my future is bright
With you in my life, both night and day are all right
With you in my life, even quarrels are a delight
With you in my life, God's mission is so clear
His words remove the fear because , you both are holding me dear.
With you in my life, God's promise …show more content…
It was first written and presented at a wedding, with my son, Ato alternating the lines with me, then recorded with arranger-musician, Hilliard Wilson. It is included on the Just for You Cd. SENT TO YOU WITH LOVE
Today many people will open their mouths and say:
“Happy Valentine’s Day”, “Happy Anniversary”,
“Happy _____ Day”
“I love you – will you be mine?”
But today, I pray
That the women of the world the men of the world the children of the world
Will open our hearts
Open our hearts’ shutters and let our ‘little lights’ shine
Open our hearts’ trap doors and eject hurt or anger
Open our hearts’ windows and let hope beams radiate
Today we will take down our heart …show more content…
How beautiful it is when two hearts can intertwine
Hold on to each others’ beats at midnight
When two souls can spend evenings clasping hands Clasping pieces of the past Clasping and cherishing treasured pieces of creative characters Clasping hope and warmth in the chill of a Parisian night
How beautiful it is when two spirits can sing
Sing songs that can be heard by fellow travelers flocked and un-flocked
Open doors, say, “Won’t you come in…we have a few treats for you.”
Close pages to an era with a gift of verse
A fond goodbye shared without shame
How beautiful it is when one or two can be gathered on one accord
Shelter others’ dreams with pictures, pen and virtual tools
Build new frameworks for old words
Make word pictures that pat, nurture, bind, and blend
Cause to find a wonderful platform
For the collective dreamers to spring forth
How beautiful it is when one has a heart to share
Your heart from autumn, to winter, through the spring
To a summer of warm harvests and languishing love
How beautiful it is that Andrea met George and
George met Andrea and they cared up a storm
May your storm seed endless love to estranged hearts everywhere
