MEETTA TALKS-YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!

"INSPIRATION STATION"

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!

A Poem written by Ms. Meetta Martin

From her book "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!:

"Poetry To Strengthen, Heal and Encourage" (2002)

There are some people who won't like what I have written.

I can't control that!

It is MY life's pain, above I have risen!

It is MY Life's pain, a burden, not a gift, I've been given!

It is MY life's pain... and you don't own that!

Still, I can hear them now,

judging me saying,"YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!"

But I won't listen!

I used to wonder,

why I went through, all I went through,

especially as a kid!

But learning of my place, inside the arms

of The Great "I Am", The Great Creator,

I understand better now,

that it is not entirely mine, to question!

For I believe and trust him,

to reveal it to me,

in time.

So, when they say,

"You Can't Say That!"

I'll say,

"Oh, Yes I CAN!"

Remembering that it is MY life's pain, above I have risen!

But when my critics sound off again!

I will stand firm and I will hold my ground.

I will also remain in the wisdom and continue to proclaim,

"OH YES, I CAN!

Because life has a purpose AND

GOD HAS A PLAN!...FOR ME"
