    About this ebook

    On April 19th
    My life was rearranged
    On that very day
    Everything began to change

    It was Gods decision
    Father knows best
    In order to build character
    You must pass certain test

    Im still standing
    My hero is gone
    Never told the man I loved him
    For going to work and always coming home

    ME: My Emotions, a collection of poetry by R.T.J.J., expresses his innermost thoughts and emotions. ME, an abbreviation of my emotions, describes the turbulence and challenges that the author has faced on his journey to peace and acceptance. By the age of eleven, he had lost both of his patents and had become an alcoholic. At twelve, he went to jail, where he began smoking weed and PCP by the time he was thirteen. He finally put his troubled past behind him and returned to the church and God Almighty for forgiveness and redemption.

    Come along as his poetry evokes the bleakness of his past and the triumph of the new life that he has begun with Jesus Christ as his guide.

      HERO

      Once he was there

      Then he was gone

      The man of the house

      No-longer home

      Paid the bills

      Bought us a house

      Drank 7 and 7

      While sitting on the couch

      Taking us shopping

      Loving our moms

      Guaranteed everyday

      He’d be coming home

      Taken from me

      When I was nine

      To really get to know him

      I never really had time

      Never saw me play sports

      Didn’t live to see a game

      Most of my performances

      Would not have caused him shame

      Lost my guidance

      Discipline became naught

      Preparation for manhood

      Too many lessons I was never taught

      Going to the hospital

      Rolling him around in a bed

      Young mind unable to fathom

      That soon to soon this man would be dead

      Unable to understand

      Figured he’d be back in a week

      38 years later

      Self control I still seek

      On April 19th

      My life was rearranged

      On that very day

      Everything began to change

      It was GOD’S decision

      Father knows best

      In order to build character

      You must pass certain test

      I’m still standing

      My hero is gone

      Never told the man I loved him

      For going to work and always coming home

      R.T.J.J.

      CUD

      In the time that we were young

      Our little lives had just begun

      We were fresh fruit from GOD’S tree

      Never knowing what we would be

      Our father died and left our mother

      For us her children we had no other

      She lived, and died, she cared for us

      In our mother was love and all of our trust

      For we in our hearts must truly say

      That in love with mother we’ll always stay

      She completed her life, she lived it in full

      With this cruel world she no longer has to duel

      She is resting in peace,

      She’s resting in glory

      She leaves her children

      To tell her story

      R.T.J.J.

      Uncle Rob

      My second dad

      A man I loved

      From a completely different

      Line of blood

      Never judged me

      Always there

      Always listened

      Never once unfair

      No Condemnation

      Betrayal not a trait

      Lying was not a problem

      If he said it, it was a date

      Courage, Wisdom, and Strength

      From me has been taken away

      See, He was more that just my Uncle

      He was my friend, and my mainstay

      Always their for me

      Never felt neglect

      Feeling empty at my selfishness

      Because his passing had brought regret

      Today is a day of rejoicing

      My uncle has received his reward

      JESUS’ WORD CANNOT LIE

      MORE POWERFUL THAN A TWO EDGED SWORD

      He promised He would come for us

      And call us to His own

      Said His Father’s house has many mansions

      And for us He’d prepared a home

      My uncle has found his glory

      He’s hit his perfect stride

      My God has blessed him with perfect Spirit

      That with the Saint’s He may abide

      R.T.J.J

      THE MESSAGE

      Have you heard the message of GOD and His Love?

      How he sent His son from His glory above

      See JESUS died so that we might live

      Unselfish by nature only in love
