Be Patient 

Being patient is hard to do
We want to get things as quickly as you

That’s what we’re taught from birth
Getting more nervous all the while
It’s taught us to lose our smile

No need to get in a hurry 
There’s plenty of time to spare 
You see GOD will always be there 

Slow down when you pray
And listen more every day 
GOD will bless you in his own way

Our patience will increase
As our faith in him grows
We’re not smart enough to know what all GOD knows

He will give us everything we need
More abundance than we could conceive 
If only we will wait to trust and receive

Sick and Tired

Are you sick and tired the end seems very near
Oh LORD take my hand and stay very very near 

It’s only through the many  hardships of life 
That our close walk with you, will lessen our strife

When our heavy burdens seem more than we can bear
The greater the testimony we all can share

Some things stay the same 

Some things In life stay the same no matter what
The joy of the birth of a child, your team beats the other team's butt. 

The memories you have floating in your mind
Some of the memories may be harsh, others kind

The past after today cannot be changed away
Only changing today will change the past I pray

The key to changing the past lies in your hands 
For no other can make the choices, this world demands

The Poet Society of South Carolina

“The Poet Society of South Carolina” was born over a hundred years ago. 
It was born in Charleston to keep its city aglow. 

Many readings and late-night meetings on King Street
seemed to make the Creations oh so sweet.

As time moved on, The Poet Society evolved. 
 Its aim is that every community be involved.
 
The taboo of the rich and famous having been left behind. 
We are opening new doors to the young and old, with Creative Minds. 

Where we go in the future is difficult to see. 
We are leaving it to the children of you and me.

At just the Right Time 

At just the right time take time to pray
At just the right time don’t tarry or delay

At just the right time find the words that will help
At just the right time lend a hand to help

At just the right time lend a shoulder to lean on
At just the right time be there before time is gone 

At just the right time share your Love for Jesus
For this is the only way, to keep the devil from seizing us.
