MOST WANTED
~By Monique Nicole Fox~

Be on the lookout for the
Most wanted by the DEA,
The most wanted by the CIA,
The most wanted by the FBI!
No! The most wanted by God up high.

God is looking for all elders, middle aged, teens and youths;
Anyone who hasn’t been worshipping him in spirit and in truth.

God is looking for his children to be with him
In moments of happiness and not just moments that are dim.

God is looking for all who need some guidance.
Surrender and let His wisdom and light have a chance.

God is looking for all considered not saved,
Those wayward souls and those misbehaved.

God is looking for all fugitives from His grace;
Traitors and deserters that have disappeared without a trace.

God is looking for all that lack faithfulness
To imprison them with His love and kindness.

If you’ll have any information on the Most Wanted cases,
Contact God, dial 1-800-Heavenly-Places
To end the looking and searching, to end the chase.

VACATION PACKING
~By Monique Nicole Fox~

Spring is here.
Summer is almost here.
Vacations are just around the corner,
Approaching quickly and growing near.

And so often we plan our trips,
Make itineraries or reservations,
Get State Department travel tips,
Submit passport applications,
And sometimes let our spiritual side slip.

And often you may take along
New clothes and excitement,
And forget what really belongs;
Forgetting to pack your Christ commitment;
Forgetting to keep your faith and righteousness strong.

So before you depart on a summer getaway,
Pack your Lord in your heart keeping him close,
Pack your bible for a daily reading, a scripture dose,
Since you probably won’t make it to church while you are away.

Also before you leave on vacation this year,
Plan it with the Lord’s honor and glory in mind.
Make sure your character and language is kind;
Remember to keep the Lord spiritually near.

SO CALM DOWN!
~By Monique Nicole Fox~

No need to fuss or fight
or get yourself all uptight
cause God is like medicine
and will make you feel alright.
So calm down!

No need to consume yourself with grief
or rob yourself of sleep like a thief
cause God can lift your turmoil
and will give you heavenly relief.
So calm down!

or let people bring your mood down

and the best inspiration in town.
So calm down!

or let depression cultivate and live

and positivity to give.
So calm down!

and can cure your life’s sins and ills.

No need to dwell on what you haven’t done
or races you haven’t won
and unmapped goals
cause God has your life under control.
So calm down!

LET IT REST!
~By Monique Nicole Fox~

No use in arguing with those who have no clue
or trying to make them understand your point of view.
So let it rest!

No use in turning lively discussions into a heated one
or turning road rage into murder with a gun.
So let it rest!

No use in exchanging hurtful words or insults
or letting your blood pressure skyrocket as a result!
So let it rest!

No use in stressing yourself out
or walking around mad or in a pout.
So let it rest!

No use in worrying about what other think about you
or what they say.
Just continue walking and living in a spiritual way.
So let it rest!

No use in trying to be what others want you to be
for the only one you have to prove anything to is God the Almighty
So let it rest!

In God’s hands are our problems and pests.
God knows and does what is best.
So in God, let it rest!

Ooops!
~By Monique Nicole Fox~

Ooops! You forgot to say your prayers daily.
Ooops! You forgot to go to church or bible study.
Ooops! You haven’t been reading the bible regularly.
Ooops! You forgot what Proverbs 16:24 says about pleasant words.
Ooops! You forgot to be nice or heavenly.
Ooops! You haven’t been living according to God’s commandments.
Ooops! You forgot to love thy neighbor acting peacefully.
Ooops! You haven’t been putting God first.

When you don’t praise and glorify God,
Your life won’t seem to go right,
Your life will have something missing or odd.

When you don’t walk in the light and love of our Father,
You are welcoming in Satan
And evil to come in and bother.

Correct your life’s ooops!
Do some Spring cleaning
And spiritually re-group
Just by adding God into the loop.

~By Monique Nicole Fox~

It is diet time!
A time to slim down those burdens weighing you down
It is diet time!
A time to get rid of those extra pounds
It is diet time!

BYE BYE BABY
By Monique Nicole Fox

Bye bye baby
Maternity leave is over
Mommy has to go back to her job
Wipe your tears; please don’t sob

Bye bye baby
Off to the babysitter you go
Another besides mommy you’ll get to know
We will both take care of you and watch you grow

Bye bye baby
Although mommy isn’t with you
You are always in my heart and mind
And God is with you all the time

…for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
~Joshua 1:9 (NAS)~

PASSED AWAY
By Monique Nicole Fox
Taking care of me, myself and I
Going out anytime I want
Missing concerts, plays and movies
Sleeping late on the weekends
Hanging out anytime with friends
has come to an end
has passed away
Everything in my life has become new

The birth of a baby boy
has presented new opportunities and challenges
And many tasks to do
But with the guidance of God the Almighty
I will venture down the right parental avenue

So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creaton: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
~2 Corinthians 5:17~

INTO THE FUTURE
By Monique Nicole Fox

Into the future, I can not see
But I do have an unwavering faith
That God has great plans for my baby and me
And that is why God is whom I pledge my allegiance and loyalty.

Into the future, I can not view
But I have an unshakeable belief in God
And hopes for getting a healthy baby in March 2003 to debut
And to love with all my heart through and through.

Into the future, I can not glance
But I do have a conviction that God is real and true
His love for me is just inside of me
And baby in my belly, the proof, the evidence is You.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for,
the conviction of things not seen.
~Hebrews 11:1~

THIS IS THE DAY
By Monique Nicole Fox

This is the day of a new baby.
This is the day of new happenings.
This is the day of new undertakings.
This is the day of new experiences.
This is the day of new adventures
At the ripe age of 33 mature.
Since this baby is my 1st, I am an amateur
Who is being guided by God and feeling secure
Through all the ups and downs of motherhood.
I will prevail; I will endure.

This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
~Psalm 118:24~

BABY, BABY
By Monique Nicole Fox

Baby, baby
How are you?
How do you do?

Baby, baby
I can?t wait till you are here.
I can?t wait to love, protect and comfort you
And hold you near.

Baby, baby
I can?t wait to see your face
And see your smile.
March 2003 will be here in a short while.

Baby, baby
Boy or girl?
Miracle or blessing?
God is sending an angel into my world.

Baby, baby
It just me your mother, mummy
Talking to you and rubbing you in my tummy.
You are going to have a nice life with your dad and me.

MOMMYVILLE
By Monique Nicole Fox
I am going on the ride of my life
My destination is Mommyville
I hope to get there safe and sound if it’s God’s will

I am going on an 18 year journey
One that goes from baby to toddler to teen
With God’s guidance and light my path is seen

I am going on a parenting trip
No more of taking care of just me
My life will soon entail an angel; a little baby
I hope I will do the right things spiritually
All with the help and direction of God The Almighty

MOMMY LAND
By Monique Nicole Fox

I am moving to
a new place; a place called Mommy Land
Everyday I get bigger and bigger; everyday I expand

During my move, I’ve been reading books
and getting advice firsthand, secondhand and any way I can
Cause this baby experience I am trying to understand

A baby requires alot of TLC and many other demands
We are anxiously preparing for its arrival
We are making many plans

God has blessed us with a baby
And our life seems to be just grand
We are so thankful and happy
For keeping us in HIS loving hand

COVER-UP
By Monique Nicole Fox

Evil covers up
But I am not fooled
So many so called Christian need to be schooled

Evil covers up
Unlike God that never hides
God should be the ONE you celebrate
God should be your guide

Evil masquerades in celebrations like Halloween
Lurking in the background; hiding behind the scene
A clear cover-up
Get your lives together and change your routine

SEE
By Monique Nicole Fox

See the green of the trees and grass,
See my baby boy growing fast,
See his eyes so shining bright,
See his smiles of happiness and delight.

See the clear blue sky,
See the blessings and miracles of God up high,
See my angel, my baby boy sent by the Almighty guy.

See the sand on the beach beneath your feet,
See the sweat from the scorching heat,
And see how wonderful God is. What a treat!

Here I Am! Send Me!
By Monique Nicole Fox

Here I Am
God has sent me
To do some heavenly and godly deeds
To continually thirst for His spirit
And eat His word; everyday feed

Here I Am
God has sent me
To be a role model; a teacher; a guide
Enlightening all about HIS word and commandments
That we all should follow; we all should abide

Here I Am
God has sent me
To minister through poetry
And to spread the Good News
About His glory and majesty

Here I Am
God has sent me
To inspire and motivate
And to lead all to His Golden Gate

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” ~Isaiah 6:8~

I Am Lucky
By Monique Nicole Fox

I am lucky
God was by my side
As I drove my car
And went for a ride

I am lucky
God was in the passenger seat
During every mile and on every street

I am lucky
God was there
When I made an almost fatal mistake
For I am still alive
My life HE didn’t take

I am lucky
And grateful it wasn’t my time to go
And thankful so
For I am still here to
Watch my baby boy grow

God Gave Me A Gift
By Monique Nicole Fox

God gave me a gift
that didn’t come for my birthday or for Christmas
but during March; springtime
a blessing I’ll always treasure and that’s simply divine

God gave me a gift
that doesn’t need wrapping paper or a bow
and that I can watch grow

God gave me a gift
that changed my life
which put me into gear
a maternal shift

God gave me a gift
that brought much happiness and joy
who was named Christian
A handsome baby boy

Like Tylenol or Bayer

By Monique Nicole Fox

There use to be liars, cheaters, and atheists
In my life who caused me
Tears, pain and anxiety.

God saw my misery.
God heard my prayer.
God eased my pain like Tylenol or Bayer.

With God’s help I had the strength you see
To get rid of the negativity.
I was able to separate myself from that which is
not heavenly.
Now I am living a life of tranquility.

I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears;
behold, I will heal you.
~ 2 Kings 20:5~

O God, O Teacher

By Monique Nicole Fox

O God, You have taught me from my youth.
And You continue to teach me in my adulthood
How to walk in your light and truth.

O Teacher, You have taught me your
commandments,
Covenants, statutes, and ways
That I always follow and obey.

O God, I declare Your amazing deeds
Have been inspirational in my life.
Thanks for your direction, guidance and leads.

O Teacher, thanks for letting me do your will;
Spreading the good news about Your glory
Through my poems; the world I hope fill.

O God, You have taught me from my youth, and
I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
~Psalms 71:17~

Teach me your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your
truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.
~Psalms 86:11~

What’s On Your Mind?

By Monique Nicole Fox

What’s on your mind
when you hear about
terrorism, molestation and rape
or a teenage boy getting killed over a buying a girl a slurpie
or a little girl getting shot by a stray bullet in her Aunt’s house?

What’s on my mind
Is that many are in Satan’s grip
And God they need to find.

What’s on my mind
Is that violence is a solution
Instead of seeking God in a bad bind.

What’s on my mind
Is that there needs to be more peace and love
For each other and all of mankind.

Where Are You God?

By Monique Nicole Fox

Where are you God?
I need to know.
How do I find you?
Where should I look or go?

God answered,
“I am the air and a breeze.
I am the tall majestic trees.
I am the west, east, south, and north.
I am the sky, heaven, and earth.
I am the bright morning star.
I am the strength you need when opening a jar.
I am the enchanting moonlight and radiant sun.
I am the Almighty One.
I am the Artist that painted nature’s canvas.
I am the man, woman or child you walk pass.
I am the wind that kisses your cheek.
I am the creator of the seven days of the week.
I am the first and the last.
I am the present and the past.
I am the breath you take.
I am the ocean, sea, bay and lake.
I am the only way.
I am the night and day.
I am the truth, life and vine.
I am the judge of all mankind.
I am the destructive hurricane and tornado.
I am the cause of many calamities and fiascos.
I am the light of the world.
Did I answer your question my child, my girl?”

“So my child just remember that I am always around.
And that my greatness and splendor can always be found.
Spread this revelation and goods news all over town.
Go and let your poetry be like a trumpet sound.”

The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing
well-being and creating
calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.
~Isaiah 45:7~

For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is
the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste
place, but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the LORD, and there is none
else. ~Isaiah 45:18~

I am the LORD, when I make the land
a desolation and a waste because of all
their abominations which they have committed.
~Ezekiel 33:29~

I am the light of the world; he who follows
Me will not walk in the
darkness, but will have the Light of life. ~John 8:12~

I am the one. ~John 9:9~

I am the vine, you are the branches;
he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears
much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ~John 15:5~

I am the Alpha and the Omega,”
says the Lord God, “who is and who was
and who is to come, the Almighty.
~Revelation 1:8~

Who Will Show Us Any Good?

By Monique Nicole Fox

God will show us what is good,
correct and right.
God will take our hand.
God will show us the light.

God will lift up the light
of His countenance,
of the brilliant sun,
of the enchanting moon,
of the light bulb from the lamp,
of dawn,
So we can see,
walk, live and stay focused
On Him, the Almighty.

Many are saying, “Who will
show us any good?” Lift up the light of Your
countenance upon us, O LORD!
~ Psalms 4:6 NASB~

How blessed are the people who know
the joyful sound! O LORD, they walk in
the light of Your countenance.
~ Psalms 89:15 NASB~

Will You Pass The Exam?

By Monique Nicole Fox

God will put us to the test
Through many trails and tribulations.
Will you still think God is the best?

God will put obstacles in our paths,
In our back yards, on our porch.
But will you still give Him His glory?
Will you still be in the light and carry
His torch?

God will test our minds
And put us in binds
To see if we will still follow Him
For better or worse and in any daily grind.

God will test our hearts
And give eye to our deeds.
Will you pass His many exams?
And always hold His hand
And follow His lead?

Psalms 26:2: “Examine me, O LORD, and
try me;Test my mind and my heart.”

Jeremiah 20:12: Yet, O LORD of hosts, You who
test the righteous, Who see
the mind and the heart;

Jeremiah 17:10: “I, the LORD, search
the heart, I test the mind, Even to
give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.”

Not Long Ago

By Monique Nicole Fox

One day not long ago, I was crying out to
God Almighty.
He answered me from His holy mountain.
He answered me from His godly thorn.
He said, “I am with you always my child.
You are not alone.
Just put your sorrows and pains in my hands
And I will lead you to the promised land.
Life for you will one day be happy again;
Splendid and grand.”

I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.
Selah.
~Psalm 3:4~

O Dear Father

By Monique Nicole Fox

O Dear Father,
You give me such amazing and generous gifts
like a warming fire,
cleansing rain,
cascading waters,
tall mountains,
green grass,
tall trees,
beautiful flowers,
blue clouds,
twinkling stars,
a radiant sun,
and enchanting moonlight.
Your wondrous works are dynamite.

Thanks for much for all your do
And all you have done.
You are a okay.
Your are number ONE.

When I consider Your heavens, the work
of Your fingers, The moon and the
stars, which You have ordained.
~Psalms 8:3~

Who gives the sun for light by day
And the fixed order of the moon and
the stars for light by night, Who stirs up
the sea so that its waves roar; The
LORD of hosts is His name.
~Jeremiah 31:35~

Whenever

By Monique Nicole Fox

Whenever I pat a dog or cat pet,
Whenever I seek a tree for shade,
Whenever I walk on some green grass,
Whenever I run my feet through some beach sand,
Whenever I gaze at the blue sky, stars or moon,
Whenever the rain that quenches the earth,
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I see. I ponder.
And I remember God’s covenant and treaty
with all beings including me.
Many poems get written;
lots of poetry.

Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds,
I will see it and remember the everlasting
covenant between God and all living
creatures of every kind on the earth.
~Genesis 9:16~
