The Lord comforts me

Anthony Logan 1952 (brooklyn)



Whenever I feel that a tear is near
You wipe my eyes and say my son have no fear
I shall forever be there I have lived my life
Complicated and angry not knowing who to trust Everyone was a stranger                       
But since you put a lock on my heart
And gave me a brand new start
And told me I can touch the stars                 
My life has become calm as a summer breeze                      My thoughts flow so free like the winter trees                        It is your name I shall call in my times of need                       I know you will answer my call and forever take heed

Anthony Logan

My name is Anthony Logan and I was born on June 21st 1952 in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. Ever since I was a child, I always enjoyed writing because it was another way to express myself. I have been through many trials and tribulations in my life and I can say with confidence, that I am strong believer in God because he was the only one to see me through all of it. When I write, I am inspired by his love and grace and this gives me the motivation to continue to write about his goodness and all that he has done for me. Through my writings I hope to lead someone to know how awesome he is. I hope to inspire a young writer someday. more…
