Best Attributes Poems
Divine book expresses moon’s great wonders
soothing to soul that serenely ponders
while viewing beauty walking in brightness*
exuding sweet Eve’s female gentleness.
With attributes to ladies alluded
changing moon’s gracefulness is applauded
of varied shapes, colors, sizes’ presence
showing Supreme Artist’s magnificence.
Midst “… she that looketh forth as the morning,
fair as the moon,”** in Scriptures truth’s reigning
my heart thanks the Lord for His grant of light
saluting women fulfilling roles right.
Beholding the moon wrought by hands divine
luminous due to Creator’s design
radiating to smite night’s obscurity
I see Mom’s face, smiling with love-purity.
Joyously basking at the moon’s glory
I’m delighted in Mother’s victory
praising God for life-building pursuits’ flow
with Dad --- home’s sun, making us stars, to glow.
*Job 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness.
**Song of Solomon 6:10 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon…?

Every person has an attributes
That differentiate him from others
Some people are attributed by wisdom
Others are attributed by reason
And some people are attributed by honesty
But good morals bring together all good qualities
And you will leave an imprint
That will not disappear
Even after your departure
Hold on to your morals and you will rise.

Come in Anger, get out of the rain.
Leave your coat on my chair.
Come on, don't start up.
Look, Love is over there.
Peace is here too.
And her true love, Gratitude.
Stop all that yelling now,
Drop all that attitude.
Hope really looks nice tonight.
And Grace is so giving.
Take off that dark coat,
Anger, this party is for the living.
Forgiveness is lighting incense.
Faith always plays that guitar.
Stop it, Anger, don't get upset
If Mercy offers you a star.
Compassion is a great teacher,
But Happiness just loves to dance.
Heart wants to keep Ego out,
And Desire cant keep on his pants!
Anger, some of us know you well
We know sometimes you get wild.
But for this very moment, this party
Could you just relax and smile?

each set of twenty three chromosomes
the basic biological building blocks
of life came out cervix
when second hand of analog clocks
barely and scarcely swept across dial,
wrought offspring appearance
as a pier a docks
closely resembling a monkey
perhaps...hmm...
maybe mother mated with a chimp
assimilating chromosomal flox
genetic combination brought about add hocks
viz bouncing baby boy skinny and fair game
as a pluperfect future target for jocks
when I took first gasp of air sputtered
like an old engine that knocks,
now just easing into ma deuce score
and xix year with hair reed locks
twittering, snorting, rattling nonetheless
became precious human dependent
with mat chew anti body mox
see for father and mother
to care despite expelling nox
shuss gas out derriere, which profuse flatulence
natural immunization
kept away infected kids with pox
nicknamed little buttock blaster
now sits in a comfy chair and rocks
reminiscing about boyhood
and a pooch named Socs
who told time applying faux paws vox
like tum make sounds resembling tick tocks
Nowadays every potential mom and dad
disappointed unless offspring(s) feverish follow fad
decreeing qualified as gifted birth of lass or lad
go wing great lengths to prod and push
progeny until a genius to be had
rather tubby thankful and gratefully glad
regaling robust surprise
packaged traits of yore
inheriting genetics descended
when early apes did de tour
terrestrial virgin earth
anatomically complete store
reed awesomely astounding miracle from spore
sized fertilized ovum (healthy
and sound baby boy or girl) hood roar
if lionized, which feline bellow mew might mean
change my dye ya pore
and pamper me sum more
gnome hatter wailing mama or papa ignore
thence nurturing baby pipes por favor
kinship knits omnipotent bond evermore
where tis instinctual to adore.

Holy, holy, holy is God
pure, righteous, perfect is He
nothing or nobody can compare
to His glory that will be
God always has been
eternal before time began
but never to know end
will always be even after man
The sum of all knowledge
God knows it all
from the heights of heaven
even to the depths of the fall
What is man’s power
when it is held in comparison
to the power of God
which is supreme bar none
Absolute perfect love
sent from heaven above
to deal with mans awful sin
so God the Lord will ultimately win

The attributes of the Church is three: authority, infallibility and indefectibility
By the authority of Church I mean the right and power which the Pope and the Bishops, as the successor of the Apostles have to reach and govern the faithful
By the infallibility of the Church I mean the Church cannot err when it teaches a doctrine of faith and morals
By the indefectibility of the Church I mean that the Church as Christ founded it, will last till the end of time
These attributes are found in their fullness in the Pope, visible head of the Church, whose infallible authority to teach bishops, priests, and people in matters of faith and morals will last till the end of the world
The Church has 4 marks by which it may be known, it is One, it is Holy, it is Catholic, it is Apostolic
The Church is One because all its members agree in one faith, are all in one communion, and are all under one Head
The Church is Holy because it’s under Jesus Christ, is holy; because of the eminent holiness of so many thousands of its children
The Church is Catholic or Universal because it subsists in all ages, teaches all nations, and maintains all truth
The Church is Apostolic because it was founded by Christ on His Apostles and is govern by their lawful successors, and because it has never ceased, and never will cease, to teach their doctrine
These attributes and marks are found in the Holy Roman Catholic Church alone
The Church derives to its undying and infallible authority from the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, who abides with it forever
The Church is kept One, Holy Catholic by the Holy Spirit, the spirit of love and holiness, who unites and sanctifies its members throughout the world.

Valentine Attributes
Crusading dictations
Gathering together
Professing devotions
Arousing emotions
Holiday flourishing
Underlined greediness
Commercial dictated
Composing emotions
Weariness withstanding
Tirelessly pretending
Valentine’s forgotten
Closeted emotions

Strong as a father,
Supporting as a husband,
Courageous as a soldier,
Obedient as a son,
Unwavering in faith,
What is a man?
Where does he stand?
What does he need?
Have we forgotten?
He is more than his body,
His success is more than just wealth,
His word is trustworthy and valuable,
His life a testament to the sacrifice of Christ,
His is a love that gives endlessly,
His is a love that leads through service,
What is a man?
A weapon of God to stand against the tides of evil,
What is a man?
A pillar of kindness and beacon of generosity to those in need,
Humble in action and clear in thought,
What is a man?
More than you think.

She possesses an inner beauty
that far surpasses her outward appearance.
She exudes strength and power
though you may see traces of her trials and pain.
She’s not caught up in gaining material possessions,
for she deems such pursuits as a hindrance.
Rather, knowledge and wisdom are the goals
that she envisions and seeks to obtain.
She endeavors to support others
whether with money or a word of encouragement.
She's very dependable and strives
to keep any promises that she makes.
She works hard and enjoys a challenge
for in these she finds true contentment.
She tends to be very forgiving
rather than dwell on others' mistakes.
She educates her children
instilling in them a love and respect for life.
She inspires many in her community
letting them know that they can make a difference.
She takes the time for meditation
so that she may ease her mind of stress and strife.
She has dreams of rebuilding this nation
for she knows this to be the purpose of her existence.
Who is she?
She is my mother who has raised twelve children.
She is my daughter had she lived past the age of one.
She is the poet who motivates her audience to listen.
She is the teacher who makes learning fun.
She is the college student who strives for excellence.
She is the single mother who raises her child alone, yet successfully.
She is all who I was, all who I am
and she is all I aspire to be.

This healthy young girl weighed 200 pounds
Was known for spreading her charms around town
Her weight was a problem
She had way too much bottom
She smothered poor lads with her “voluminous downtown”

Limerick
In HIM by HIM
I was made to be eternal
In HIM by HIM
I was also created to be a co-creator
Once transcendent yet still energy
Placed IN a vessel but not for all eternity
For my truest self shall flow rise and excel

And in those attributes we share
I am loving I am HOLY I am good
Only in HIM through HIM I am just I am jealous the jealousy of God
I share my heart with no earthly idols
We share this such is trust His love I am merciful
I am sovereign
To the authority of the Most High God

My eyes are the windows to my soul
Which is where God looks out and God looks in
We together contemplate I learn of HIM HE knows of me
My character is innate WE begin to grasp each other
Glorious lovingly
All inspiring
And HOLY the person of the Trinity is upon me
And in me it's the only one Worthy of our alliance
Jesus Christ model these characteristics in HIS life in ministry

HOW to apply HIS self in my life

My God my attributes the windows to my soul
Communicable these are the attributes
