GOD WILL NOT FAIL
By Elois McCollum

There are days you feel empty, and that few even care
There are you times you feel distant as if no one is there

In those times you must pray for the power that’s within
Redeeming your covenant, for this battle you shall win

GOD WILL NOT FAIL

If your life is at a standstill, and you’re deep within its hole
If your attempt for restitution; appears too unattainable to behold

If you find that it’s too difficult to deal with by yourself
If you need some direction, you must ask God for help

GOD WILL NOT FAIL

Don’t give loopholes to the enemy, who will attack and will feed
Because before you even realize it, Satan will feast with his greed

Put on your full armor; be prepared for the fight
For God is both with us in our joy and in our plight

GOD WILL NOT FAIL

Going through is a natural phase
It’s still important to give God praise
Praying power destroys those yokes
The Holy Spirit retrieves those folks
Under the blood shall we live
Birth with his spirit we shall give
Hs word is life it does prevail

Our God is able, HE CAN NOT FAIL

Thanks

The Day I Fell In Love
By Elois McCollum

Browsing through time, destined for nothing, yet afraid to fall asleep
Feeling the fear if I shut my eyes, I will miss the activities of the street.

My focus was blurred; my mind was closed, on ways to better myself
With no esteem and very poor judgment, I knew I needed help.

I turned to my friends to clear my mind as to why we drink and swear
I hoped for a solution from an ordinary man, who like me was going nowhere.

I created a reason to excuse myself, and to justify all my ways
But what I received was the quick reality, that I was headed towards my final days.

I collapsed to my knees and yelled for help to a man I did not know
But he knew me and all my pain, and his love he began to show.

Before I could question why he wanted to help, the Lord sealed up my lips and
revealed to me because I prayed in his name, we had begun a relationship.

He awakened the mind of my spiritual man and taught me how to live.
He cleansed my body to reclaim my salvation, and taught me what to give.

Because of my faith I was circumcised from sin, and showered with rays from above,
and with my obedience, I began to tell - about the day I fell in LOVE

6th grader @ Worthington Hooker Middle School

ALONE

The last kid of the school sits quietly alone.
Just like the last petal of a rose blooms.
Sadly alone.
It is sad to be left alone.
Where ever you are, just try not to leave anyone alone.

Who Are You?

How old are you?
Are you one or two
Are you older or younger
Are you tall or short
Do you care or not
Do you love or hate
Do you stand for peace or
Do you stand for violence
I know who I am, but who are you?

Future (Remix)

The future is the future
Eventually things will happen
What happens is what happens.
There will be either cruelty or happiness
You will learn to appreciate or unappreciate
Are you going to ruin this world or keep it alive?
I wrote this poem to show you your future,
it is up to you to make your future go down the right road.
