A Threefold Cord of Black History Poems & Nuggets

Bay Saint Louis, MS is the place of my birth

Reflecting back, it was there I began my search

A place rarely heard of, down on the Gulf Coast

It’s a quaint little town, of which I’m proud to boast

My Mom and Dad had 16 children, they laid a firm foundation

The lifestyle they lived before us, will always be my inspiration

When I was 20 years old, within three months apart, my parents were deceased

I got through it because I was taught, to keep my mind on Jesus for perfect peace

I retired from the United States Navy in two thousand two

In 2012 I earned my Associate’s Degree from Le Cordon Bleu

Someone said to me, you’re in your fifties, why bother now

I don’t deal in negativity, I simply said” Hallelujah anyhow”

Although at times I wondered, if my writing would ever be recognized

Zechariah 4:10 says of small things beginning, do not despise

This is my first published book and regardless of the outcome

I will continue to write and not give up, I refuse to succumb

I also write gospel and children songs and inspirational skits

Anything of a positive and uplifting nature, I am down with it

I believe God blessed me with this gift, to use, not to save

When I stand before him I want to say I used what you gave

I know God is no respecter of person, with me he’s not done

I believe my latter days will be greater than any former one

I must continue on my journey and not become upstaged

I won’t let fear or doubt stop me, and certainly not age

God promised to never forsake me or leave me alone

I bear witness to his faithfulness; I’m Mable Williams Jones
