A FIXED FIGHT

LIFE IS TO LIVE AND ENJOY THEY SAY
BE KIND AND SHOW LOVE EVERY DAY 
DANCE AND SING, GO SHOPPING 
AND BUY PRECIOUS THINGS
ENJOY YOURSELF AND LIVE LIKE A KING.

BUT LIFE AS I SEE IT, IS A TEST OF FAITH 
EVERYTHING I DO, IS FAITH RELATED 
I TRUST AND BELIEVE 
TO ACCOMPLISH MY NEEDS 
BE IT RIGHT OR WRONG
WHATEVER MY MIND CONCEIVES. 

BUT THANK God, NOT ALL OF MY THOUGHTS 
COMES TO FRUITION 
YET I AM SADDENED AND SURPRISED 
BY ALL REJECTIONS,
AFTER ALL IT IS BEEN SAID, 
IF YOU HAVE FAITH THE SIZE OF A MUSTARD SEED 
ASK WANT YOU WANT, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE.

SO I LIVE MY LIFE, THE WAY I SEE BEST
KNOWING THAT ALL OF MY THOUGHTS 
ARE PUT TO THE TEST
SOMETIMES I WIN, AND SOMETIMES I LOOSE,
IT IS FOR ME TO DESIRE 
BUT THE OUTCOME OF MY LIFE, 
ANOTHER, HAS ALREADY CHOOSE.

WILFORD BARKER.

Great write WB, I hope all is well in your world. Your poetry is on point as always 👍. It seems like a lot of people only choose faith when convenient, it’s nice to see someone who keeps it regardless the “ wins or losses.
