My Shady Tree

by Gregory W Golden   Oct 19, 2006


I am not going to let this world stress me out anymore, because the lord answers prayers. Recently, I passed away and made it all the way to heaven. This time, I am one God’s holy angels. I need to step out of this world again, and find me a shady tree.

Folks are killing each other for no reason at all. Yesterday, the sun start crying because, they build those skyscrapers too high in these neighborhoods. I am too scared to go in an elevator, down town. Every time I look up at those skyscraper buildings, my arthritis kicks in. Lord, in the morning I need a little bit of sunshine on my face. Where is my Shady tree?

Every time I pick up the newspaper, I see corruption, violence and bad news in this world. Mama use to say, “What the world needs now, is love, sweet love?” Look at these kids bringing guns and knives to school and participating in lock downs, instead of lunch breaks. I know some of these kids are spoil rotten to the core.

Anyway, the kids figure it is economical selling drugs, then attending Yale or Princeton college. Well, too many video games and all that bling, bling rap music on TV is destroying their young minds. Look at the young girls having babies and leaving a helpless and poor baby in the trash binds for them garbage men to pick up. We have babies making more babies.

Oh, heavenly Father and sweet Jesus, I need my shady tree to recover from all this mess! Lord, we got too many children ripping and running these streets without fathers at home, providing clothes, food and shelter.

Cassias bring mama a glass of ice water. Have you heard about the good news, “Jesus is coming back” Lord, just let me live 999 years or live as long as Moses lived.

I remember, back in the day, when ever, I had any troubles in the world, I just go look for my shady tree. Cassias bring mama her slippers, so I can rest these tired old feet. Bless his little soul. Well, I don't have to worry about it anymore, because I died and went to heaven
