coolness of the rivers, and the ever shading of the trees He has blessed us with the silk from worms, and sweet honey from the bees He has blessed us with the enjoyment and comfort of beautiful music He has blessed the strong that they will help the weak and the sick God has not forsaken us, no matter how evil men have become There’s always room for forgiveness in the Father’s Kingdom Listen the devil no more, for his ways bring deceit and sin Praise God, know God, he is the only and true king Praise vanity no more, for they part you from love and corrupt your soul Have love and respect for others heart, give comfort to the old Give thanks for the little you have, use that little wisely Don’t curse it, or use it foolishly The Lord ever gives you more than you can bear Show trust, show hope, show love, and show the world you care Listen to the words of God, they are filled with power and are very real Acknowledge God, at his presence we all shall kneel The Spirit As I walked home from work in that dark night Electricity had gone so there was no street light The road was lonely because there was an upsurge of violence earlier But I had to work late to balance my bills and to provide dinner I was not scared, for I had walked this road for nine years But there were bad elements present which had no cares They would rob the poor of the little they had And there was an incident where an old man got beaten real bad I was frustrated of the life that surrounded me I wish to god I had a solution and the right key I had made up my mind not to give in to them Someone had to be strong to cleanse the streets again I saw a manly figure walking on the left side of the road heading my opposite direction So on him I began to focus my concentration My mind flooded with thoughts of being robbed and hurt I began to reflect on what my life was worth As our distances drew nearer my heart began to race just a bit Wondering what type of danger I might be confronted with He walked straight towards me and stopped My heart felt like it had dropped I continued to walk pass him when I heard him say “You need not be afraid for an angel is protecting you all the way” You trust in God so he will always be by your side You have hope and faith and you believe in life” I stopped and turned around and saw no one I fell on my knees and began to pray For it was God who was protecting me on my way I prayed for the cleansing of corrupted souls whose main purpose is to destroy For the Lord to cleanse their hearts and give them life to enjoy I prayed for the whole world to live in happiness and peace I prayed for you and I prayed for me For our salvation is in our own hands, all we have to do is turn the right key. Thirteen Meaning of Love . Love means to show love even if no one loves you Love means to care even if no one cares Love means to give even if no one gives Love means to share even if no one shares Love means to forgive even if no one forgives Love means to understand even if no one understands Love means being kind even if no one is kind Love means having faith even if no one has faith Love means being true even if no one is true Love means showing strength even if no one shows strength Love means to trust even if no one trusts you Love means loving you even if no one wants to love you Love means saying from your heart, I Love You Thoughts As I grow old and tired, and my prayers for peace seem to go unanswered I sit here on my porch rocking away in my favorite chair Looking up towards the heavens asking myself questions I fear What if the world remains evil forever and mankind has been forgotten? What if life is only for suffering and our hearts grow to be more evil and rotten? What if the little children will forever be blinded by corruption and sin? What if mankind evilness has caused us to be abandoned and we have no king? What if mankind should be at war with each other for all eternity? And the world be engulfed by evil and we have no prosperity? What if all the believers are made to suffer unexplainable pain? What if evil eat away our land, long droughts with out hope of rain? A tear escaped from my eye as I pondered How soon will my savior be I wondered? My faith weakens once daily, but rises five folds My hope sinks a mile beneath, but rises a hundred up The Good Book promises us salvation, and this is what I believe But wickedness hurts my heart and causes me to wonder and grieve I fear and cry for the innocent who is made to suffer without cause My heart bereaves with families whose loved ones life has lost My pain for the world is like a never ending piercing of my skin I wish all man would accept the Lord and be free from sin Oh my God now is not too soon For the cries of pain echoes in this place of gloom What can I do? I ask myself What acts can I perform to save someone else? Oh my God let this world be inherited by the meek Let them enjoy a life that is heavenly sweet The most wonderful act I can do is pray Pray that one day we will all see a better day Today Today with my spare time I feel like writing To mention all the wonderful things which are happening Today a new child was born Today many farmers reap their grains of corn Today scientists take one step further into technology Today for the first time, a child will see his mommy Today for some people hardship ends Today many children will meet new friends Today feels filled with wonderful things Today I feel like an angel with wings Today you will do very well at work Today you will comfort someone who is feeling hurt But there is always tomorrow Tomorrow someone will die Tomorrow a child will cry Tomorrow your friends will turn to foes Tomorrow scientist will invent a new bomb Tomorrow people will awake hungry and unhealthy It pleases me to mention today But grieves me to mention tomorrow For today and tomorrow are the same Two Wonderful Friends Good morning hope, good morning faith, how are you today? Pass me the newspaper Hope, if you may Oh Faith, suicide murder and adultery again restless souls living their lives in pain Oh Hope, what can we do? Come here Faith, I'm depending on you too Go out to the troubled and strengthen their heart and will Hope, Faith, I'm depending on you still Life is hard, but tell them never to give up For there is a life after this Earthly, with all the glory to live up Hope, tell them to hold on, God sees and knows Faith, tell them to wait on the Lord, an be strong in the places they go Hope, give comfort to the poor, they are hungry and weak Faith, give encouragement to the homeless, for they are the children of the streets Walk with them, speak with them, be their friend They are but leaves blowing in the wind, be their stem Hope tell them never to loose faith, there is a paradise Faith, tell them never to loose hope, open up their eyes Strengthen them, strengthen them long Encourage them, encourage them never to do wrong Faith and Hope, I'm depending on you both Go pillow the weak willed, give them comfort to float I have faith and hope in both of you To succeed in the things that you are about to do No Hope, I can never loose you No faith, not you too Wherever I go you will always be with me For without you both, I would merely be a grain of sand loss at middle sea. Valentine Your lips, your cheeks, your eyes of sunshine It makes me feel special knowing you are mine I want to hold you so much my body keeps shivering Love me forever, that’s all I’m asking Your touch keeps me so warm Your lips take away my sorrow Your words bring me joy Your whispers are as sweet as music from a sparrow The currant of your love flows deep in me I would risk my life for all this I was sightless until you made me see What is in the power of a kiss If I hadn’t met you, I would have never known The meaning of love my dear And until time ends, I will love you I swear You are my Rainbow, my snowflakes, my sunshine You forever be my true and only Valentine Weight of Love I love you; very famous words used around the world In all different languages, but the meanings are the same Some people mean love, while others only say it How deep is your love and how far can it aim? Would you forgive the one you love if that person was caught cheating? Ladies would you forgive you husbands if you were physically abused? Would you forgive that person if they lost everything gambling? Will Power I will never give up in what I believe in I will practice strength and courage within I will try harder when I have failed I will push further even when my hands are nailed If others doubt my abilities I will rise above their criticism In all I do I will practice discipline and patriotism I will work hard and long to achieve the fullest of my potential To gain such will power I know my training will be crucial I will listen to the wise and experienced to gain words of wisdom I will pray night and day to God for my final destination will be in his kingdom I will train my self to have a healthy body and a clean mind I will be humble with all I have and in what I do at all times I will encourage myself to rise above the sinking sand I will be good to the animals and be good to the land I will help my brother if he has faltered along his way I will be optimistic every day My will must be strong if I am a helper of my people I will try to doubt the impossible, for with the power from above, even an elephant can fit through the eye of a needle In all I have done, in all I am doing and in all that will be done I have, and I will have a strong will power. Williams 1 verse 1:5 Oh God thank you for all Thank you for the rivers and waterfall Oh God, thank you for being with me Thank you for the Earth and the sea My God, you’ve opened my eyes and now I see clear You’ve released me from hatred anger and fear My God, you are so good and so great There’s no doubt in you I will always have faith My God Oh God, please be soon I’ll be here waiting and praying under the moon Oh God, my God, I know you are the light By walking in your footsteps I know I will be right Good God, there are many hearts to be touched To be released from hatred, greed and such My God I know there are souls to be saved To be with you forever, only this I crave Oh God, Dear God, My God I have so much love for you Oh God, Dear God, My God, Please help us to be true With God With the help of God I will succeed No matter how many times my wounds bleed With the Spirit of God I will move No matter how many races I loose With the word of God, I will cure No matter how rich I am, no matter how poor With the love of God, I will live No matter how much I get, no matter how much I give With he earth under my feet I will stand I’ll be as hard as rock, but as smooth as sand With the heavens over my head, I will rise I will be stronger, bigger, my mind will move to a greater size With courage and faith within me, I’ll not break I’ll be wise to know what’s genuine to know what’s fake With happiness I will smile With endurance I will walk those rugged miles. With vision I will survive. Praying to God to preserve my life. And with hope I will prosper Always hoping and working for a better tomorrow We have to put a little faith and moral in ourselves The best encouragements begins from within No matter how much people say you can, you can’t until you tell yourself you can Open your mind to the power of your will Only then you will discover the true potential of you skill. Yourself Love yourself for who you are, accept the way you were made Do all things to the best of your ability, practice to self persuade Smile at yourself in a mirror, you are special and unique Love yourself and love others, be strong on your feet Have faith in yourself; you can succeed in all things Pray for yourself and receive God’s blessings Push yourself forward; always try to do the best you can Be strong in yourself, remember you are human Show honor in yourself, promises are meant to keep Show humanity in yourself, it’s ok to feel hurt or to weep Uplift yourself above all words of doubt Practice yourself not to let that self esteem out Be kind to yourself; keep your body from harm Exercise yourself; be studious in your work or on the farm Be conscious in yourself, know who you are, where you are from why you are here Be courageous in yourself, there is only God to fear You are a carrier of life, a gift given to you to cherish, to enjoy and to keep For the power of oneself is unmark able and so deep Tears of Death Now gone to wonderful place without hurt or pain Leaving life’s hardships and strain A rainbow forms in the heavens pointing the way Angels spread their wings as we begin to pray A million steps towards a higher life of youth and joy The true love of God is now yours to enjoy Be not saddened by this act of faith A smile for glory, no longer belonging to mans world of maze Tears may run from the eyes of family and friends But let them be tears of joy, for this is the beginning and not the end An opened arm is stretch for the comfort of the broken heart Eyes will look towards the heavens, as sounds the angels harp Memories flood the mind of a past that is inerasable Beautiful memories which are more than adorable Theses memories are indeed precious Memories you wish you could even touch The flesh may be lost, but the love in the soul will live forever And that love you will carry with you wherever A smile from a new soul above shines a light down And you begin to see love has no bound Rainfall of roses begin to fall from the sky Comforting your hurt, giving you strength to go by With hands stretched above you smile with a single tear You now understand life’s route and only the father steers Feel not alone, discomforted and lost You will always have shoulders to cry on, with the power of the cross The sun shines brightens the land as we move towards another day And we realize that all knees will bow down to pray. WAR Birds of war take to the sky, The pain of war seems to grow high I hear a child scream distance away, Oh how sad it is today Why do we embrace death in this pleasant way? The echoes of death plunges from the earth to my ear I curdle in my corner hugging my self, wondering when this would end I am alone now, war and death has taken my family and friends. The mechanical beasts of war role out crushing, and causing the earth to tremble My brain remains intact but my mind becomes unstable They disfigure the earth with their foolish machines of destruction Fighting for what all human will someday leave behind They say they are of great minds that have contributed to humanity But there greatness is only destruction, and destruction takes no great mind War echoes through the earth, driving fear to man, destroying mankind Creating chaos, leaving all its misery behind But this little peace will not last, For they will do to the future what some has done to the past As I walk on the scorched earth, my feet absorbs the pain Thousands of women and children lifeless corps remains Yet the leaders of this massacre have not lost a drop of blood Only to rejoice in there coward minds, planning a next destructive flood I see a man who has been left to die by these animals of hate Bathed in his own blood, died as I touched him, just for one life to save, it was too late. The smell of death covered the air Soon I knew my time would be near Who will love earth when man begins hating it? Who will save earth when man begins destroying it? Do I pray for help, from God? Do I neglect the truth, and lock my self and my mind from this bitter reality? ………….it is worth a try, I will pray. Humbleness It’s really funny how some of us seem to forget our past, Where we came from, who we have been The family that helped us on the way The good friends that stood by, good or bad day The steps that we have made up the ladder, we later forget that helping hand or that strong shoulder It’s funny how our minds are easily influenced, by what the un-humbled person have to say As we grow in the world of danger and excitement, we just begin to forget It’s funny how a poor beggar, suddenly becomes a millionaire And now for the friends that begged with him, he has no care It is so amazing of what a little power can do, the humble and polite office clerk, promoted to supervisor Now begins recommending staff cut, trampling all through It’s funny how a man suddenly buys a fancy car, and now forgets his friends he took the bus with for eight years Friends that stood up for him even when he was wrong Friends with whom he shared laughter and tears It is amazing how some people or things come by and strip us from our kindness and humbleness, It is amazing how our minds welcome them like if they were immunities to a disease Power and riches causes us to change It is not the fault of the power or riches But is the thought of the mind controlling them You might just be reading this poem or listening to it being read And might say, I am not like that, I cannot change! Can’t You? Is there a friend that you have forgotten, workers that you have trampled, people you have treated badly in the name of money or power? Think! The hands that stretched out to us when we were down Should be the hands that we stretch down to when we are up When you receive a blessing, be humble with that blessing Misuse or neglecting that blessing will cause you to loose it. Lo I wish I was loved like the beginning of the earth, Loved by someone who knows your true worth I wish I was loved like the love the lungs has for oxygen I wish I was loved like the soil holding so tight to the trees roots But as time goes by, and fades away So does your love for me Holding on to the things you can see Your choice for us not to be It’s so hard growing into love, all those smiles, tears, those wonderful moments of affection And then loosing love in the blink of any eye, Only facing harsh rejection How treasurous were those star full moments Moments of happiness that happened years a go, I remember clearly like it was yesterday. Moments I wish to return, this very day You have now grown far beyond my love I now know And for that bitter reality, my tears I now show But whichever path you choose, I will pray for you as always I will pray for you through all days Even though I may see this, my heart still aches painfully Loving you so much, and you not loving me But I wonder, if I die tonight, you will be free But I will be crying in my grave, still pondering a life never to be You are my last act of love, believe this For I will never again be caught in this heart and mind pained mist My god, if tears had life they would walk right over to you My mind grows crazy thinking what I should do It’s funny all the years I’ve prayed and work, but that’ll never do It takes a lot more than that just to be with you But in whatever path you choose, thank you for a life being with you And forever you will be in my heart, even if I’m not in yours. Love Friend
