I thank God that He gave you a keen ear to hear my poetic words, vision to encourage me on this journey-way, a voice to dissect my poetic flow and wisdom to truly understand me as a writer. I am so very blessed to be connected with someone who shared the very same literature teacher/Instructor as me. May Mr. Hugh Gilmore Jr., rest in peace but his seeds of humanity flourish within our writings forever.

It premiered at the Provincetown Playhouse in the Greenwich Village area of New York on 15 May and ran until 24 October. O’Neill borrowed the title of a 19th-century spiritual. The play’s star, Paul Robeson, later recorded the song and, in 1933, donated its proceeds to Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler's Germany.<br />I got a robe, you got a robe<br />All o' God's chillun got a robe<br />When I get to heab'n I'm goin' to put on my robe<br />I'm goin' to shout all ovah God's Heab'n<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heab'n ain't goin' dere<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />I'm goin' to shout all ovah God's Heab'n<br /><br />I got-a wings, you got-a wings<br />All o' God's chillun got-a wings<br />When I get to heab'n I'm goin' to put on my wings<br />I'm goin' to fly all ovah God's Heab'n<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heab'n ain't goin' dere<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />I'm goin' to fly all ovah God's Heab'n<br /><br />I got a harp, you got a harp<br />All o' God's chillun got a harp<br />When I get to heab'n I'm goin' to take up my harp<br />I'm goin' to play all ovah God's Heab'n<br />Heab'n , Heab'n<br />Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heab'n ain't goin' dere<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />I'm goin' to play all ovah God's Heab'n<br /><br />I got shoes, you got shoes<br />All o' God's chillun got shoes<br />When I get to heab'n I'm goin' to put on my shoes<br />I'm goin' to walk all ovah God's Heab'n<br />Heab'n , Heab'n<br />Ev'rybody talkin' 'bout heab'n ain't goin' dere<br />Heab'n, Heab'n<br />I'm goin' to walk all ovah God's Heab'nDuanesPoeTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053093400086634552noreply@blogger.com
