WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?

 

WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?

Matthew 6:28   "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin....."

A Poem by Nikki Giovanni

  

 

FARMERS WORKING WITH  TOBACCO 

KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE

I always like summer
Best
you can eat fresh corn
From daddy's garden
And okra
And greens
And cabbage
And lots of
Barbeque
And buttermilk
And homemade ice-cream
At the church picnic
And listen to
Gospel music
Outside
At the church
Homecoming
And go to the mountains with
Your grandmother
And go barefooted
And be warm
All the time
Not only when you go to bed
And sleep

Nikki Giovanni

The Small Red Fox

 

 

 

 

 

There's a small red fox by the side of the road,

 of burnt-red face and doleful eye.

She licks the juice from the passion fruit vines

and disappears into endless time.

BEAUTY

 

 

BEAUTY

 

"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."
Isaiah 61:3 (KJV)
