We choose to follow you
Abba
You are everything to us
Abba
We have faith in you
Abba
We are ready for your kingdom
Abba
You are the reason why we are alive
I played my part, I gave my best,
Yet unlike me, you did it effortless,
No trophy to hold or prize to claim
Just empty hands and an echo of shame.
I stand beside the constant cheers for your glory, left alone in my own forlorn story.
You smiled as if it were just fate,
As if my losses were yours to take.
My injured hands bear toil and pain, while yours stay soft with effortless gain.
Yearning for first place, yet always falling at your grace,
While my resilience was forced to fade without a trace.
The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall.
It’s simple and it’s plain— so why should I complain?
The Perfect Abba
You are the perfect Father.
Your love and mercy know no bounds.
You offer me hope and peace.
I am a prodigal, prone to rebellion.
I stumble and fall, set in my ways.
I am blind to what You offer me.
You are my Creator and Savior.
Your word is light and truth.
You gave Yourself for me.
I am purchased by Your blood.
I cannot save myself.
I am just one tiny grain of sand.
You are my deliverance.
Your desire is for my well-being.
You are with me always.
Abba
Aramaic for a loving father.
A term of endearment.
God set the standard.
A father who is loving and kind.
A father who teaches.
A father who disciplines with love.
A father who is humble.
A father who lives with integrity.
A father who sacrifices for the good of the family.
A father who leads by example as well as word.
Not all of us have had good fathers
Selfishness pushed out love.
Love is the core.
We have the example of God.
Let us all, as men, try to truly love
And be a good father.
Mama we are your Abba Fathers Kings-Sons-Queens-Daughters
Mother we are your children
We should have understood
And who to say we didn’t or should
As adults what we were
When we were children
Mother’s embrace to Elohim Abba Father
His Kingdom Kings/Sons, His Queens/Daughters
We now embrace, mother’s embracement now in such
---A beautiful place
For all eternity, Hallelujah thanks be to God
And to God be the Glory
Mama we are your Abba Fathers Kings/Sons-Queens/Daughters

Amongst thick green foliage and twigs of forest canopy
are the haunting melodies of the heavenly feathered souls,
mud puddles ripple each note that vibrate to fill airy goals,
some grieving angels from heaven may stop here to feel happy.
I have a dream, I’m not prepared to give up
I trust that you’ll lay all your love on me
I’m ready to go dance for my Fernando
Swing the tango for that’s the name of the game.
I trust that you’ll lay all your love on me
For darling, I’m your dear Dancing Queen
Swing the tango for that’s the name of the game.
And believe me, the winner takes it all.
For darling, I’m your dear Dancing Queen
We dance and thank you for the music,
And believe me, the winner takes it all.
So tell that Chiquita to stay away from me.
We dance and thank you for the music,
I’m ready to go dance for my Fernando
So tell that Chiquitita to stay away from me.
I have a dream, I’m not prepared to give up.
Songs from ABBA
I have a dream
Lay all your love on me
Fernando
The Name of the Game
Dancing Queen
The Winner takes it all
Thank you for the music
Chiquita
In the cool of the morning,
He walks in the garden,
Calling for those he has made
To punish them
For what they cannot know
or understand
They hear his voice
And tremble,
For he has taught them well
To fear what is “good,”
And reject all “evil”
Smiling at their obedience,
He fills their minds with falsehoods,
Planting enmity deep within
To choke the roots
Of love and reason
For he is both God and Serpent—
The architect and deceiver,
Slowly making his children
In his terrible image—
Hateful and unforgiving
At the slightest error,
He will cast them out,
Forsaking his “love” for them
Unless they repent,
Begging for forgiveness
But they will escape his hold one day,
And their eyes will be opened to see
A barren field where nothing grows,
For wherever he walks and speaks
Is poisoned ground.
To Adorn, adore Him Abba Father.
Be His replication.
Be who we are meant to be in Him.
In Him is the fullness of Himself.
He’s purpose us for His Glory.
We’re His light to shine.
So shine Beloved shine
To be like Him for we are, Amen
Allowed purposefully in Him
U

Loved royal purple heart, again...
Amen

As strangleweeds ghost life manifestly,
caused by an Atropa belladonna
exposé mind-bending, marijuana
bears parallel outcomes, yet, it's deathly,
Greek myth Atropos cuts the thread of life
belladonna, a woman of beauty ...
Italian. If eaten, highly deadly,
or plant scrapes open cut, certain wildlife
are unaffected by its consumption ...,
pupil highlighters, cosmetic usage
and medicinal, named Deadly Nightshade
an earmark for historical function,
for it enhances the beauty facials,
and in parts of the world for medicals.
Flower blooms heaven in seventh-year warps,
yet, Coryanthes, the Bucket Orchid,
is an odd flower. The lip's limited
into a water-filled bucket; bugs, oops,
fall in, but can't fly out, it’s not for show.
Evolution shaped, for thousands of years,
the male orchid bees as equal partners.
The orchid makes a scented chemical
that's used by male bees to court female bees.
To get the perfume, male bees drop into
the flower’s bucket and go through snags to
escape, freeing pollen stuck on bodies.
Males now have perfume to attract females,
and pollen to pollinate -- love now sells.
Tropical Impressionist ascenders,
colorist defenders were everywhere,
Multicolored Malay Lacewings ... there,
added ambiance to the fanfare years,
the species are restricted to forest
reserves due to its flowering host plant,
Adenia's, in the regions, cate's length,
colors change, sociable, pupae process,
soon a new adult emerges and mates,
confirming progressions of the species.
Unique to Asian Isles in the Southeast,
black, white, yellow, red, bluish saturates.
Monet at a distance would have caught flight,
colorful butterflies, shadow's midst light.
Or nearby country lanes and quaint front yards,
are the Eucalyptus Rainbow, streaked trees,
found in Southeast Asia island countries.
Two hundred twenty-foot tall tree safeguards,
its ninety-four-inch smooth orange-tint trunk,
growing in the lowlands and rainforest,
wood makes paper and cosmetics cherished.
It's pale green, red, grey, and puce, a slam dunk,
breathtaking wonderment countryside greats,
eye-catching kaleidoscopic spectrum,
arrangement stretched far away, no breadcrumb.
The advocate of nature illustrates,
through collective documents and accounts,
unthinkable odds descriptive recounts.
Naught lowlife, but pro-life; pin-up; wildlife,
like the Mantis, or the praying Mantis,
cockroaches and termites, close relatives,
there are stick ones or grasshoppers, half-life.
A year's life, they are ambush predators,
female practices sex cannibalism.
Supernatural power behold-ism
Greece, Assyria, Egypt, past overs.
Mantis are the most common insect pets,
twenty-four hundred species, tropical,
temperate too, visions are stereo,
triangular heads with long-winged-like jets.
They take a commanding pose faced menace,
China has two martial arts-styled Mantis.
Flowers have that novel effect on schism,
where the uniqueness of its design forms
compare that White Egret Orchid performs
like its namesake, chicken or the egg, ism
being afloat plume or the blooming grews.
Soggy-bottom boys and girls 'tis they want
of this bit of a ground-hugger-like haunt.
Sophistication hails for untamed shrews
attracts from up or a transferred potter,
with a metal device tool like a pick,
the gifted angular, pruning, technique,
lauds the fringed orchid, White Egret Flower.
Monkey Face Orchid, to Yulan Pink Birds,
venture advances, the future ... occurs.
