Come closer my love
touch softly with stolen light
a Winter’s darkness

He went away,
on a beautiful spring day,
not a cloud in the sky,
and I often wonder why,
the weather was so nice and dry,
with the flowers all in bloom,
and the birds singing their
cheerful tune,
You see the cancer had invaded
his lungs and brain,
his vocal chords were paralyzed,
it should have rained...
Yes, it should have been raining,
and cloudy and gray,
the day Dad left us,
and passed away.

Epitaph
God has shown in His holy word
there is only one sure way to life
a life that's eternal to the full
for all other ways just bring strife
Jesus has said when here on earth
to find me enter by the narrow gate
never choose any roads of twists and turns
you can't see around a bend before its too late
There's a gate that's really wide
the way there is easy to find
but with it comes utter destruction
there are lots that will be left behind
The narrow gate is exactly that
making it difficult to get a pass
this is the price that's worth it
for the heavenly road goes first class
Now its so difficult to walk this way
the numbers that succeed are very few
but God's will his for His own elect
to walk the narrow way, will that be you?
(13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.)
Matthew 7: 13,14 (ESV)

11 tears on the pillow
conflicted,
scattered.
Crying over things
my brain says
don’t matter.
My heart says different.
Typical,
can’t shake it though.
Odd hours each night,
trying to look
past the ceiling,
angry with the Lord,
always pleading for meaning.
Always begging for something.
Avoiding the issue.
Ignoring my demons
like the substance abuse,
love I won’t let go,
the past that I buried,
“Troubled young woman”
my head tries to be clearer.
Then night comes,
I’m trippin.
Thoughts incoherent,
anxiety attacking,
as I struggle to breathe.
The pressure,
the pressure,
more than it seems.
It is what it is,
no psychological blip.
Spent.
Exhausted.
Talked myself from the ledge.
How often I walk out.
How often I’m lead.

Death,
thou boisterous ancient foe,
you crept in surreptitiously,
and bore a hole in our hearts.
It's 14 years now,
14 years of longing.
For seven years, the torrential rain battered us,
and we almost succumbed to the intensity of the rain.
Then,
a Moses arose,
lion-hearted damsel
and the lineage was rescued.
Father, I ache and bleed daily,
as I remember your tilling and planting seasons.
You planted many seeds in us.
Father, a little seed has sprouted,
and has borne many fruits,
succulent fruits indeed.
I wished I could give you a bite,
Alas,
the curtain was drawn 14 years ago,
and now you are a complete dust.
Adieu, my father!
Adieu, the muse that brought out the poet in me.
The pain, grief and sorrow that I felt after my father's death forced me to look for a way of expressing the pent up emotion of anger and sadness; poetry gave me the answer. Over the years, I have fallen in love with poetry and no one can break the union

Prayer is the means God's given
that we can speak to God above
this God is eternal drawing on us
to fellowship with the God of love
Scripture tells us to make time
for God's ears are constantly on call
but the question is are we open
or do we think we just stall?
If we don't spend time in prayer
why don't we? don't we believe!
do we think it's just words in the air?
prayers hard work so roll up your sleeves
The bible is clear that God does hear
His answers may vary but He knows
it may be yes or maybe no or just wait
but our words heavenly certainly goes
Learn from Jesus our great high priest
who intercedes for us at His throne of grace
so we should pray to Him believing Him
that He grants mercy when we seek His face
(14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.)

Scriptures declare that believers be true
to be faithful to Christ always in His way
being not unequally yoked to unbelievers
obeying God's word stand fast they would stay
Righteousness can't compare with lawlessness
it's totally opposite having nothing in common
just like back and white so colourfully distinct
remember your place not to be forgotten
A believers fellowship needs are akin
to those of similar likened taste
so that unity blends uniquely together
making your pilgrimage have no waste
The sweet communion of believers faith
be full of Christ's abundant light
giving no room for any darkness
making fellowship such precious sight
Believers need be equally yoked
filled with Christ's love for each one
enticing others of what's true love
be separate unto Christ God's son
(Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”)

Remember all the words of the Lord
to receive His healing full of light
be watching with eyes wide open
so you know to push sin out of sight
Faith is so important for every believer
be sure to stand firm in your faith
immoveable abounding in the Lord's work
showing you believe what God saith
Be strong always in the Lord
show yourself approved be like a man
walk in the ways of God no less
seeking His will in His eternal plan
Remember the scriptures God is love
so His followers should be the same
in all, we do be done in love
showing our resemblance to God above
Walk-in step with Jesus our Lord
keeping close knowing His blessed grace
giving thanks for all He has done
the blessed saviour who won our case
("Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.")

Rhyme
My Heart sees beauty daily pass me by,
And does not grieve nor stop to make lament,
For I have in my Heart a single eye,
That makes me know that all my love is spent
Upon the One whose face I carry still,
Which illness, fate and fortune cannot mar,
I see her Beauty reign when she is ill,
And my Heart’s bruises set a higher bar.
I must learn how Love tenderly caresses
The face of pain, disfigured by estate.
I must find my way up out of the ditches
And never curse, but bravely bear Heart’s fate.
For I have seen the throne of Beauty reign,
It has done so before, and will again.

Jesus speaks here with conviction
showing that believing in Him will do
works that Jesus did while on earth
for He is the almighty God ever true
Being filled by God's holy spirit
the comforter empowers the believer
to be the evidence showing Jesus
to prove believing be the achiever
God assures to the believing heart
you can ask anything in my name
whatever God's put on their heart
that will be accomplished for your claim
The purpose of all this is divine
so, God, the father be glorified in His son
for His promise is to the soul believing
that their request is His will be done
Hold on to this promise believing friend
believe deep down all this in your heart
that God's perfect love knows no bounds
seeking out your good in no small part
(John 14: 12-13
"Amen, amen I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father will be glorified in the Son.)

Upon a horse,faithful and true,
Jesus returns on a cloud,
in the air He comes into view
Every knee is bowed.
The book of life is opened,at last
Sin meets it's heart's desire;
The deceiver and the deceived,both cast
into the lake of fire.
Water ,clear as crystal now flows
Reviving,the once dead;
Those faithful,who Jesus knows,have
His name on their forehead.
A new earth,no pain death,sunlight or sea,
A new heaven with God each believer will be

Verse
You blamed that fart of him ?
Always blame it on the dog
Lying !
Liars !
Lie !
The truth about lies
Do not blame other
This happens every time you fart
I understand that it can
required fees when cows farting
Much air from four stomachs in a cow
Large air pollution
