My Child


Come forth out of bondage my child Break those chains that bind you Those shackles no longer confine you The yoke that once made you a slave Has been lifted , you have been set free Don't be bitter my child, do not hold a grudge Keep moving forward my child Do not let those stumbling blocks keep you from your path Remain steadfast and unwavering in your journey You have no time to waste on negativity. As you venture forth my child Quit asking if your there yet Quit complaining and don't whine I have already prepared your destination It will be reached and revealed all in my due time. You must first build a solid foundation my child Each brick placed with the intent of lasting an eternity As you build and are given more Bigger storms and more demons will attack Don't worry my child, God always has your back So build...build...build. If you really want to do something you'll do what it takes to make it happen A quitter always quits But a winner never gives up.
