Growing UP

I stand tall

I stand sure

For I am one with God

I stand honorable

I stand glorified

For I am the one with God

I preach faith

I preach love

Yet I am the first to get down in the mud

Today, I will be righteous

For today is the day I am thankful

Thankful for the love

And the kindness

Only a child can receive from their Mother

Peace Prevails

Listen and you will hear

A hush, that transforms you

It’s the whisper of life

Life in a bottle

Held there my entire life

Only to be slipped away

Ether, slipping to the next plane

For in this moment

As we ascend

Grace, God and Goodness

Surround our every move

Our every thought

And peace prevails

The Mountain

I scaled the mountain

Only to find

I was on top

Waiting for me

When I climbed the last peak

Expecting to find

Glory

I found me

And then I said

I have been searching for you my whole life

When all I had to do was

Stop

And acknowledge me

For I am the top of the mountain

I am the glory

I am the fresh air

Doreen Santina Cote'

Forgiveness

When darkness prevails

Know there can be light

But when darkness prevails

And I do not realize

I have been held down

I held me down

At that moment

I asked for forgiveness of my sins

JESUS, I have sinned

Forgive me

JESUS, Forgive ME

And I was released

And I opened

And I recalibrated

Doreen Santina Cote'

Will of God

As we walk our walk

We talk our talk

Others may not understand

What I am trying to convey

For bringing up a subject

Will only make it clear in my mind

To have another understand my perspective

Is a challenge

But challenges are the panacea

Of our own connection to another

Living, breathing and loving

When that connection is severed

A piece of my heart breaks

When that cord is united

Unification and sharing occur

Bringing forth the will of God

Doreen Santina Cote'

Abundance

When the light seems dull

And the worry creeps up

Know that I am almighty

All powerful

All inspiration

For when I get to this point

Of self awareness

Miracles happen

I find my path

I understand my situation

I am clear and precise

Then and only then

Will my rivers flow into abundance

Doreen Santina Cote'

Sixth Sense

Forever this day

Is the day of awakening

Whether by your own doing

Or that of another

When another, points out a flaw

A flaw within your character

Do you accept it

Or do you slam it back

Great questions

For this is the time, to reflect

Is it true, or is it the blind seeing with their hearing

For their sixth sense is keener, sharper

Yet cruel, how can they believe it was on purpose

Unless, they too are cynical
