GIFT: Powerful Poem by Tammie Roundtree



                          My life is a gift to the world
                          So, with careful provision it's contents should be opened
                          My life is a gift more precious than gold
                          It is the extension of the greatest story that has ever been told
                          My life is love filling time and space
                          It surrounds the universe with a warm embrace
                          It's unspeakable joy racing through my veins
                          For with the fullness of my cup life victories I will claim
                          My life is proof of my ancestors
                          A testimony of God's creation
                          A song of repentance and holy provocation
                          My life is a gift to be respected with the light of truth
                          A vessel of lessons good and bad purposed to make me strong
                          A message of encouragement that simply sings Freedom's song
                          I am a gift and thankful everyday
                          To the fulfilling of God's will and destiny
                          I pray I never stray
                          For I am a gift.

GOD'S TREASURE: Great Poem by Tammie Roundtree



 She met this man she thought she knew
Her roses were red, his violets blue
Mixed together she became a purplish hue
Taken by the sweet sentiments that flowed from his lips
Her face the canvas, his fist the paint
Beatings after beatings she'd constantly take.

She met this man she thought she knew
Only to discover she had not a clue
Taken by his money, car and bling
When he introduced her to drugs and other things
Now she realizes he's just a thug with poison on his lips
But this drug is strong, It holds a tight grip
And most times she doesn't have the strength to fight
All the while trying to understand her plight.

She met "The" man that would set her free
From rape, molestation and other casualties
He saw her not how she was, but as she should be
Whole and Beautiful. Inside and out.
So, she confessed to him, poured it all out.
He touched and healed her with his holy words
Embracing her as a genuine hug.
He said to her....
You are beautiful. You are free
You are just as I created you to be
No mistakes do I make, but trials and tribulations I give you must take
To make you strong and pure of heart
It all shall pass, so don't faint of heart
No matter your faults, Your guilt's and shame
I've erased them all, now stake your claim
To be a woman of virtue, substance and truth
I am your father, I'll never stop loving you

You are beautiful. You are divine
You are a treasure richly defined
So, count your blessings
I mean count them all
Good and bad, big and small
Because you are beautiful. You are divine
You are God's treasure richly defined!
