Never found comfort in

planted tree feet-

Birth to six feet

write your story through action-

it ain’t that deep

Been hearin’ 

now finally listenin’

voice within guidin’-

mission matchin’ ambition

Life is art-

you’re the painter

what piece of the picture

did you paint today?

Did you add to the puzzle-

or take-away?

Art is painstaking-

when you’re the creator

this burdensome gift-

makes art greater

Strivin’ for perfection,

somethin’  impossible to achieve

Lock eyes in the mirror and-

REMEMBER   WHO   I   AM

Promised land glistens

reflections of the one-

Hazel Eyed King-

he paints with my hand

I know I’m him and-

He knows I AM 

Made a pact,

way back

To honor this Covenant,

‘tween ourselves and each other

Love, Respect, and Loyalty-

Established alliance

Reach a goal

stop, reload-

shoot higher

Outwork yesterday’s man-

again   again    again

Get it? Got it. Go on!

No matter the weather,

we get it done-

we do it together.
