Sunflowers
Stable hearts surrender to serendipitous sparkle specks of a night sky
Usurped shone countenance of pleasant harmony midst rare moments
Nocturnal moths whimsically flutter wings to stimulate dreamers rising
Fragrance persuades noses of redolent sweet options like a pendulum
Labor of timely instants for a day's warmth to diffuse the lathering oils
Orchids at night relief odors that they are perfect to air, motions lovers
Wished upon stars studded on a darken frame redolence pairs gesture
Evocative aroma inches glistened lake as a moonglade o'er love ashore
Rescues from zephyrs will, be enwrapped in materials or cuddled arms
Satiate heart's content of a Night Orchid's pleasant servitude to amour

Joyfully serve the Lord*
Empowered as to Him you’re fully yielded.
Saved by His grace, indeed assured of heaven…
Sealed with the Holy Spirit’s certainty
Inspired and instructed are you to fulfill His will…
Eternally secured along divine triumph.
Abound fruitfully in God’s work!
Faithful steward, you’re blessed
Anointed to be in His ministry
Loved by the Saviour Whom you trust.
Labor for Him with faith's peace, led by His Word’s light…
Approved as His virtuous lady-servant!**
*1Samuel 12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
**A blessed birthday, to you, Jessie. I believe that the great God you serve will grant you the desires of your heart… in His perfect time.

L-et your hand have a good grip,
I-n upholding spiritual fervor;
E-arnestly obey God's command,
Z-ealously wait for fruit of
L-abor.
R-ight now make a good grip,
A-llow not your faith to waver;
M-any things try to snatch it,
B-e firm in any kind of weather.
O-nce you truly cling to love,
Y-our hope and trust won't slip;
O-n Saturday February tenth,
N-ever loosen your good
G-rip.

J-ust like the waves that roll
O-n the serene scenic shore;
D-ivine God has given you
E-very fruit of your
L-abor.
E-xactly like the waves that roll
D-irectly to the beautiful beach;
N-ovember twenty-second Wednesday,
A-mount of joy is within reach.
L-ike the waves that roll
A-t the white soft sand;
G-od's grace is immeasurable,
U-nder the Lord's loving hand.
I-t's time to thank the Almighty with all your heart and soul;
M-any a blessing from God is like the waves that roll.

A-s God will do the rest,
L-et not your best fade away;
M-ake instead both ends meet,
A-t the end of every day.
V-igorously learn to succeed
I-n your every endeavor;
D-ay twenty of November,
A-wait the fruits of your
L-abor.
M-ove on to turn each stone,
E-arnestly win over the test;
N-ever forget to ask the Lord,
O-nly God will do the
R-est.

C-alled as soldier of the Lord,
O-n duty twenty-four-seven;
L-acking not for faith and love,
L-osing not hope for God in heaven.
E-arnest to extol the Almighty,
G-iving top importance to Him;
E-ven though there are trials, he still praises His holy name.
O-ft times he's in spiritual war, conquering the enemy's lair;
F-ocused to win over the evil tricks, exposing false tenets in the air.
E-nemies of faith in resilience,
V-icious lies in threatening stance;
A-rmed though with the sword of truth,
N-ever shall foes go the distance.
G-od's soldier is well-disciplined,
E-xemplary in managing time;
L-etting not the hour be wasted
I-n obeying His will so sublime.
C-all of duty is utmost priority,
A-ccepting no other endeavor;
L-abor in the field of the Lord is his noble task and fervor.
M-an of highest integrity,
I-ncorruptible in words and in mind;
N-o deed done in dishonesty,
I-n morality he's so inclined.
S-oldier of the Lord is firm,
T-hinking not of material things;
R-emaining to be brave and loyal,
Y-earning to gain eternal blessings.

When Summer her beauty displays
not short nights nor lengthy days
not vacations or tourist sights
not the festivals nor village fetes
not the wildlife nor abor foliates
but the garden I would suggest
all nature in flower,eye-catchingly dressed
