Each day I grow a little
stronger
The trials I've faced have 
made me who I am

chastens those he loves
With each storm I
face and with tear I
shed draws me closer
to God with a longing
soul and a desire for
our Savior
I thirst...

Like a gentle poem, he whispers against my skin
Loving, warming thoughts of hopeful expressions
Making me feel alive again, filled up within

Touching me with scents of jasmines
Piercing my skin with a sense of pure affections
Awakening the joy inside that always...

    Thorns barely a repellent for birds resourceful
    Tweezer glowing twilight globe, a bitter morsel


    Fresh field alien green...

Undetected behind
your hunting blind,
so deep within my 
fearful mind

You lay in wait 
in perfect silence,
prepared to unleash
your awesome violence

My poor heart pounds
upon these moments,
as my weakness, fear
of you does foment

My cursed logic
chuffs and chastens,
alas, your strike
it merely hastens

I'd give my arm,
my hand, my feet
if only...

Skyscrapers of glass 
and steel with spiky spires rise
over the brick houses
covered by their wide shadows.

The powerful amber sun 
over the Equinox
makes them glisten
as if they were cathedrals
in which dwells
a pretentious god,
not the God I worship.

Compared to them
we are small ants crawling,
frightened by their metrical...

When trials seems to want to show up
And life’s headaches makes you want to throw your hands up

Often we know what we want
but then again God knows better
His ways to us don't figure out
but we should learn from His letter

When God chastens us in His love
it's for our good He brings correction
learn to trust in the Lord your God
for you were always...

Every time I'm shopping for a dress I am taken by garments of white
No, not for a wedding but for my Lord, Jesus Christ
As I touch upon the cotton and a little lace
It brings a smile to my face

God upholds us while we live according to our biblical convictions  
Fighting for them against any vain humanistic perspective
Along allurements packed by lust and deceit’s intentions…
In following His instructions toward heavenly directive. 

God blesses our convictions while we lean unto His understanding
Vanquishing falsity along...

A second is defiant 
a minute is aggressive towards my dreams
flourishes a formidable mental anarchy
I creep confidently by the tail of a second
To the dejection of sympathizers
The patience of my sympathizers tires me
Waiting for the minute of abortive strife
Anticipated steps abrogated
Triumphant move trails the second
When...
