The Way of LifeI see so much murder in the cityIt makes me feel sadTo see people lose their dignityHomeless in the street begging for moneyY'\Thilethe rich man in his house eating honey

Oh what a pity!I t is awful to see young people in jailIt is sad to see teens get pregnantI t is dreadful to see blacks get rejectedHusbands mistreat their wivesParents neglecting their childrenThe world is full of prejudiceBut God is not prejudicedHe is understanding, peaceful, honestTrust in God, obey his wordsand you will be blessed.

My Best FriendMy friend how special you are.The time that you and I have spent

together talkingIt just makes me want to be your friend.I want our friendship to be perpetualYou touch my heart in a very special wayThere is a lot I have to say.When I think of you~ I often cry,Wondrous memories fill my mind.Through the day I often remember,The lilies, the moon, the stars, the daffodilsThe lush vegetation\Ve have shared together.Oh, my friend, I cannot complain.We have had such splendid momentsOne day we will have to shareTha t happiness again.
