My POETRY

Come all God's children gather close for the time is near, Lay down your heavy swords embrace your enemy, Soar together united as one and there will be no need for fear. Come all God's children, come.

Feed your weak and hungry heed their cry do not turn away, The chapel bells are ringing with each chime getting louder, A hasten reminder we must open our eyes in the dark of night, if to see by the light of day.

Snuff out the roaring fire and smoke that fills the night sky, Deafen the raging cannons that echo over God's land, For thrusting out prejudice and hatred your soul will never die, so you too will embrace the present and future and in the process save mankind.

Come all God's children come.

MANKIND

by

Barbara Watkins

Be it deep in the night or by sunlight of day, My lost soul weighs heavy against my heart, I look down the path to where I must journey, A never ending circle lost with no beginning.
Desperate to break free my spirit soars high, Only to be beaten down from its inner demons, To stay in this doom would surely mean death, I must hasten to free my fears before the last hours.
