Below are three poems written by Crystal McCown, Tamika Alexander and Asha King for the 2011 King & Queen Pageant.
Jesus Is The Light
Jesus Is The Light
Jesus is the light of the world.
He will shine all the time.
He's like the sun of our day and the moon of our nights.
Jesus shines all the time no matter what.
Nobody can shine like He can.
So bless the name of Jesus Christ
Because Jesus is the light and the light will shine.
by Crystal McCown
What Is Love?
Love is something many people take for granted
Although it’s not something that is handed
Love is getting good grades in school
Even though school doesn’t rule
Love is going to church and enjoying yourself
Its where you become more self
Love is understanding the messages pastor is preaching
Knowing you are listening and believing
Love is knowing knowledge is an axe
And Wisdom is the edge
Love is god changing his direction
But never his promises
Love is when your soul may ache, and your heart can break
Your confidence can shake, but your life is never a mistake
Love is not knowing what your future is
But knowing who truly holds it
Love is having faith in God
Conscious of the wonders he can do
Love is appreciating God
For the blessings he bestows upon you
Love is Jesus being obedient to his father
As well as me being obedient to my mother
Love is Jesus dying on the cross for our sins
Just so everybody knows – Jesus wins
by Tamika Alexander
He's Always With You
Walk upright he says
Do not walk as if the world is on your shoulders
You have too much to be happy for
Smile, everyday
Do you know why?
Because I’m always with you
I wake you up everyday and I lay you down to sleep
As long as you have faith in me, I will have faith in you
I’ll bring you out of the darkest point in your life, so you can see the light
Do you know why?
Because I’m always with you
I will teach you that it may get worse before it gets better
And I will bring you through the toughest weather
You just have to remember I am always with you
