Our Love Remains

In our Hearts Burn…A Love of God and Country that...through it all...has not diminished! We Press on, Amen!


There comes a time when…we…

must pause to diligently survey

our history!

When, at a place of reflection…we…

walk back through…fields…of what

used to be!
 

This must be done to comprehend fully

what is transpiring within…

our nation now

As we’ve witnessed poisons of the past

come…trickling down through…

sickened boughs!
 

Exposed, were those hidden hearts…filled

with the …blind stench and rancor

of yesterday

The evidence is so clear…that we still

make our journey amidst racism’s

biting sway!
 

However, we cannot be discouraged, whereby

our country’s watching enemies …enter in…

seeking to gain control …

No! we’re mandated to put our Trust in God!

through whom our ultimate victory

will, indeed, unfold!
 

Thus, when our weary souls and minds

are sorely tested with our faith hunted…

to be…sifted

We must rely on Guidance from Our Redeemer

ignoring…the gnawing call for vengeance…

with prayers and songs of hope…ever lifted!
 

Albeit…perseverance is undoubtedly ours

by strength from above…through all…

the injustices and, yes…the pain!

For remember…this be Our Beloved HomeLand…!

saturated with the Proud Heritage of our Predecessors

thus, Raising Our Banner High, Our Love…Remains!
