one word..... First Love

I have seen your works and kindly deeds
you have been there for others that were in need
You have suffered with out murmur, and toiled through the pain
you have held in your tears, even while standing in the rain
there is nothing i have bad to say about you
most of your life, your choices have been good, and you have consistently stood true
a good servant in church and your honesty is commendable
for the most part, it is you that has been most dependable
you have angered without sin, but did not let the sun come up on your wrath
you  have  given  the  last  that  you've  had
your spouse is happy with you, though at times you have gotten on her nerves
I am willing to give you everything you deserve
BUT, there is one thing i hold against you, one thing i have concern of
You have forgotten about your 1st true love

But i have continued to love you through all that i have seen
through all that i have been through, both good and obscene
even when i have lost all that i had, and had nothing to show
you told me you were there, i know, i know
from woman to woman, from place to place
i know and understand i have shown you disgrace
i mean, i would lift prayers up to you  both day and morn
I would ask you continually to to allow me to grieve from being scorned
Even when my so-called hypocritical brothers in Christ pushed me aside 
I yet turned to you, when my so called friends took me for a ride
What else was i suppose to do, 
what do  you mean I have forgotten about you, 

take note to how far you have fallen, and where you are in life
remember how i removed you from all of your strife
You have forgotten what you were doing when you days were coming together
how much you would so desire me, and wanting to be where i was, no matter the weather
a great servant of your peers, and how your heart was so clear
all else came second to what you desired to hear
you did not bother about what others said concerning your glare
But, to be in my house, in my presence, you would be there
There is one thing you have forgotten about, that you no longer think of
that one word involves me, you have forgotten your first TRUE LOVE
"xpressurself"

Again I Rise

through all of the issues that have crossed my eyes
the lower I fell, as damaged as i was inside
from the blood of Christ, God said again I rise

All of the cash that was blown, and did not realize
to the women that i ended up liking and despised
HE continually lifts, and again i rise

i have done some horrible things, told many lies
standing in the middle of the tears from my own eyes
once again i stood strong, once again i rise

Even when i gave up on myself, and the blame was all mine
feeling sorry for my own disgust, i would still be given the same reply
stand up, and stand still, HE said HE would remain with me always.
and once again I rise
