I wrote this poem a few years ago when I was in a state of confusion about my life, and all of the corruption in
in the world that God was allowing me to see. In every area of my life, there was always people,and circustances
that was trying to hold me back. Until I cried out to the Lord. and asked for my own forgiveness for all of my
shortcommings did I receive a Peace and understanding that we "we cannot change the universe", we can only
change ourselves, and to accept the things we cannot change, but have the wisdom to know the difference".
" My Silence is my Peace"
Bridle my tongue that I may not sin. Oh Lord help me to recognize my ways to mend
All the wicked is around, and I will not be caught up
My silence is my peace, eventhough in my heart I want to speak, but by your strength
within me I shall not be weak. The power of the tongue gives life or death
Let me speak words that empowers myself. I am frail, and weak, but I will continue this journey
for defeat, and know my end will be victorious, and the measure of my days will be mercyful and blessed
by the measure of my ways
