Good Morning/Afternoon,Thanks for stopping by. Here is my newest "15-Minute Workout". Again, it's just a way to keep the creative juices flowing, espcially while I'm still trying to negotiate the "serious business" side of things (BORING - LOL).
On a lighter note, I have a LOT of things on the to-do list that are being checked off regularly on this road to releasing my first book. PLEASE stay tuned in as these new developments come to pass. This is some exciting stuff and i want to keep everybody who has supported or shown interest in the loop of everything that is happening.
Hope that you enjoy it. Please keep spreading the word! Until the next time, be blessed! Peace!
15-Minute Workout – Part Nine
I want to mend all broken bridges
Those that have been left unattended
When I said that I was sorry, I meant it
My memory’s been indented
With the way that I handled things
Not the best way, the way I handled things
Lost in the crossover
Resulting in turnovers, the way that I handled things
So starting with my pride, I dismantle things
Breaking myself down to rebuild
Now an empty vessel
Trusting that God will see fit for me to be refilled
Reaching out to any and all who have oughts with me
Please, respectfully approach me
Never claimed to be Jordan at the game of life
I’m open to any who constructively coach me
Abhorring from choosing to insult or roast me
Breaking out a proverbial marker and clipboard
Taking heed to the playbook given
I’m constantly on a move for change
I’m talking about “good book” living
Knowing that I must be forgiven
But I, too, forgive in exchange
If I am to be seeking His right hand
I must move forward with the best change
Even if it seems strange
Or even goes against the grain
I know I’ll have to step out
And move with my heart over my brain
Even though the heart is unknown and evil
Even in the best of people
Reminding myself that good intentions don’t always breed desired results
And as a perpetual work-in-progress, I require results
And inside a fire erupts
Making it clear that I don’t settle
Steam rising up, setting off the tea kettle
Pushing pedals to meet metals
With time fleeting like daffodil petals
Want perceptions of what people see to be right
No peripherals
Focus in and make it clear that, yeah, they see right
And rewrite
Any and all commentaries about me
Since it’s not at all about me
It’s about something more pressing
Which is why I keep on pressing
To a higher mark and calling
Don’t want to keep you guessing
My words and actions are leading to a power much greater
Better to get it right now
Than to be sorry for it later...
