Notes About The Poem

Wishes Galore

Aware of God’s miracle-specialization
Brave is my faith to seek His grants for my wishes:
Constant consistency to fulfill commitment
Driven by Christ midst blissful servanthood delight---
Energetic enthusiasm for stewardship*
Faithfulness toward fruitfulness along His grace---

Good health with serene bliss I ask from God each day
Healing completely for Sister Friend from cancer
Immune system of family to be steadfast
Jubilant spirit to prevail despite aging 
Kisses and hugs abounding over panic angst
Loving kindness that ignites caregiving passion---

Mindfulness I seek against multi-tasking roles
Nutritious with dietetic goodness to crave
Optimization of productivity-zest
Peace still is prioritized in prayer moments 
Quietude in an Edenic environment 
Relaxation along therapeutic massage
Spiritual fortitude to fight temptations---

Triumphant travels, treks of faith ascent I wish
Undauntedly pursuing Gospel mission trips 
Victorious journey to Israel --- not virtual
Winter, Spring and Fall experiences in due time
Xiexie attitude along rejoicing spirit
Youthfulness glow while awaiting Saviour’s coming
Zest to work well for wishes’ realization.

*1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 
**"thank you" in Chinese 

(Abecedarian in Blank Verse form)
