BLINK OF AN EYE


Blink Of An Eye 

Don’t let the years slip away  
Don't you see this is a race ! 
From what is good and what 
Is bad , Life and death one will 
Be given rest, 
Hopes and dreams is fine with me, 
I do keep my eyes on thee ; 
So I can see life in a better place once 
I win the race , 
I hold on to what I know and I give 
Hope to the broken souls , 
Enjoy every single day of your life  
Even if rain comes your way , 
Life is full of pains ,and yes some  
Never go away , It's like black and gray 
I a darken away , 
Just know they will pass you by 
Faster then you can blink an eye; 
Let Jehovah God lead the way to help 
You find better day's , 
Just watch out for the darken ways of life 
that will gradually sneak up on you 
If you don't keep your eye's on what is right, 
And then one day you wont recognize the  
person that you used to be if you let this old 
World take over your soul , 
That would be a nasty way to go ; 
Because by then you will be old and gray  
And that’s just  reality; 
And then you die with no hope for your life  
In Paradise , 
Don’t let the years slip away with out Jehovah 
Leading the way ; 
So that you can enjoy every single day 
Because life will pass you by faster then you  
Can blink an eye ; 
So live life right in Jehovah's eye's .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
