Steered Straight Thrift

Poems By Darren B. Rankins

The Memories of Yesterday

The memories of yesterday were the times we played,

the days I came around just to see the smile on your face

and how your smile told me why the sun shines.

The memories of yesterday were the rainbows that I could never express,

the way you made me feel.

But to me, you were a living soul.

The memories of yesterday

are like thoughts today – loving, holding,

and waiting to be with you,

knowing all my dreams

will come true.

The memories of yesterday remind me of the last day I spent with you,

I cried for the simple reason that I cared.

Please remember me always. Your loving friend.

The Day I Died

Don’t look at me as if I were dead,

just think of me resting in bed.

Now cover me with eternal life

and place my favorite flowers

upon my head,

and if the night shall pass

and you miss holding my heart in your hand,

just make a wish upon the nearest star

and there I’ll stand.

Now take all my worldly possessions

and give them to the needy

because my riches now lie with God.

Now sing me a love song

as I walk down this lonely road,

and please don’t worry because

my Lord waits with opened arms.

Freedom

F?frustration must be controlled

R?refusing to give up

E?evaluate before making a move

E?enrich thyself with positive thoughts

D?demonstration is a must

O?oppression comes with each great struggle

M?mankind must learn about unity

Freedom is God’s fight till the end
