AGING JAH WARRIOR
Pillar of strength
Not hardly
At times
A bit unstable
Often a child inside
Salt and pepper gray hair
Aging aching bones
Short term memory slipping
Laid back ways
Quirky style
Mellow disposition
Past mistakes are glaring
Cautious when critical decisions must be made
The years have decreased my knee jerk response
Wisdom I suppose
Quiet nudge from Holy Spirit
Instinctual fluid motion
I remain in total awe
How people follow me
Whether corporate workplace
Or in the homeless trenches
Published praise through prose
My honest sincerity
Greeted with select acceptance
As Christ expands my territory
I welcome the task with zeal
Never growing weary
Of embellishing my testimony
Honored and quite grateful
Compassionate impact is my goal
To disagree is fine
Message of hope is addressed
Nothing special about me
A man with blessed salvation
I am pleased to share with thee
