UNSHACKLED MIND

HOLDING ON TO SO MANY THINGS 
IN THIS SHORT LIFE.

MY UNMET FATHER,
DECEASED MOTHER,
CHILDREN ABANDONMENT 
AND EX WIVES..

WHAT A COMPLICATED LIFE.

TIRED OF THE TWO JOB HUSTLE,
HAVING TO FACE THOSE 
THAT JUDGE ME DAILY,
NOT KNOWING 
MY HISTORY, OR STORY.

BUT I CAN FEEL THEIR STEARS, 
DEEP INSIDE OF ME,
AND THIS MIND OF MINE,
WON’T LET ME SLEEP.

EVEN THE ANGELS WERE SADDENED,
AS MY SOUL WEEP,
HOW FAITHFULLY I PRAYED 
FOR SOMEONE TO RESCUE ME..

THEN YOU CAME ALONG 
LIKE A ROBIN SINGING HIS FIRST SONG 
AT EARLY DAWN,
AND MY BEWILDERED MIND YOU REFINED.

YOU WERE THE MIRACLE 
THAT TURNED MY DARK SKIES BLUE,
AND I BLESS THE LORD 
FROM THE CORE OF MY SOUL
FOR REPLACING MY SHACKLED MIND
WITH THE LOVE OF YOU.

WILFORD BARKER.
