Bigger Dreams



I am currently taking a break to work on my next book project entitled Living the Dream.  So, I won't be posting as often.

Here is a preview poem from that collection:

Bigger Dreams

You asked to be a princess,
But God made you a queen.
He will surpass what you think he can do.
He will make all your dreams come true.
Before you were birthed
Before you came to this earth,
He had already created your destiny.
God can take you places you have never seen
He can make you a king or a queen.
He can bless you with riches untold
There is no good thing he will withhold.
There was a little girl who asked God to bless.
He did more than bless.
He made her known in every country and land.
His plans for her surpassed those of any man
They were bigger than any she could see
That little girl was Oprah Winfrey.
He who has created the oceans and seas
And sends the breeze to ruffle the trees,
Will he not take care of you and me?
If he used Maya Angelou,
He can use you.
Out of the rubbles of life
Can come a bright shining light.
Once hurt and abused,
You can still be used
What was meant for bad,
God can make good
He knows the name of every child in the hood.
He can transcend time and space
He is bigger than any obstacle we face.
You asked to be a princess,
But God wanted to make you a queen.
His dreams for us are bigger than anything we have seen.
