Best Favored Poems
My Favored
My heart beats faster when you are near.
I can not think straight.
I have been blindsided by a moving truck,
that has no tangible substance.
Your beauty is breathless,
as that is the feeling I have...
I can not keep up with the dreams
that I wish to make... with you.
The hopes that I want to dare... with you.
Nothing in my life will be the same, ever.
I will long to learn to replay time.
I will build a machine.
I will travel back and forth,
again and again,
replaying every day from the first moment
to the last, even smaller than a second.
The sound of echoes across the span,
angels weeping not with sadness but joy.
They laugh as I dance for God.
I make a fool of myself,
only...
and for you.
I stand on the wide oceans beach,
and am ready to swim.
I stand at the cliffs edge,
and I am ready to fly.
But if I drown so be it,
But if I fall, I die.
I will have lived long enough,
to have loved beyond,
all thought ever possible,
and humbly measured
not by tape or rule,
but of faith,
empathy.

Blessed And Highly Favored
Miracle Man
4/26/2024
I know that I’m blessed,
and highly favored.
Because my love for Jesus,
has never wavered.
When near death,
I returned from the brink.
God gave me thoughts,
about eternity to bethink.
He took from my thoughts,
those years I had wasted.
Giving me a new vision,
of remaining years untasted.
I’ve gone through much,
yet remain feeling blessed.
I wouldn’t have my testimony,
without God giving the test.

Illumine my mind,
Narrate my life,
Transcend my soul...

And in every inch of sod!

Feeling Blessed & Highly Favored
Written: by Miracle Man
3:30 AM 3-13-2019
Some days, I imagine myself an island,
Set in a sea of distress.
Or a soda that's lost it's fizz,
Lacking carbonation to make me bubble.
The most instinctive reaction to adversity,
Is to whine, plead, and affix blame.
I frequently remind myself, that God,
Doesn't allow trials in my life without purpose.
It's when I don't allow HIM to work through my situation,
That Satan, uses his tool of discouragement,
To stymie my witness.
Forgive me Lord when I whine,
Please forgive me when I whine.
Tom
We're wired to want everything instantly -- even God's response to prayer!

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…” *
Favored! Highly favored! Blessed.
Often put to the test.
Often pondering things in her heart.
God didn’t leave her wondering
but turn after turn there were signs.
Her relative, Elizabeth, in her old age
had conceived and the baby in her womb
leaped for joy in the presence
of Mary’s unborn baby boy, and
Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
“Blessed is she who has believed
that what the Lord has said to her
will be accomplished.”
How did Mary tell her intended?
She was found to be with child.
He intended to divorce her.
Joseph slept on his decision.
An angel of the Lord appeared
in his dream - how vividly -
commanded to take
Mary as his wife. . .
“Joseph, son of David…”
“Do not be afraid…”
“What is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit…”
son, Jesus, “will save his people from their sins”
After Jesus’ birth, nearby
shepherds struck in awe of
angels, proclaiming the birth.
They hurried to find the Christ child.
And once more it is said:
Mary treasured up all these things
and pondered them in her heart.
In the temple, the Holy Spirit
reveals — to righteous and devout Simeon
and the fasting, prayer warrior, worshipper Anna
— this is the One
The child’s father and mother
(Mary and Joseph)
marveled at what was said about him
(Jesus)
Magi followed a star to find the child.
These wise men bowed down and worshipped him.
They gave gifts of gold, incense and myrrh.
Joseph dreams again.
This time the family’s told to flee to Egypt,
to escape danger.
Believe!
There are signs!
Ponder!

Midnight
Under the thin feather clouds,
Yet beyond the beginning
Of twilight birth
Playful and creative.
Scent of gardenias linger
Forever still in the air
Hide under grass blades
I loosen my garment,
Let it drift down to the floor,
Whilst crackling embers
In rhythmic movement
Dance in the fireplace,
To see the tidal wave
Of lust in thy eyes.
So, sensuous
Is the ornate fruit,
To stand
Submit to the whip
Upon thy back
And tremble with strength
For a taste of desire.
A gasp for favored love
Accept fire burning from within
Climb, carried in musical rhythm
Through endless night,
Entangle explosives bliss.

not that I
want you to suffer
its not that
I don't like you
but your animal person
is more favored than
eye (I)
is there bias
why yes there is
and you get all the bliss
with your big warmhearted eyes
you have all the love and no risks
and some very good
love me tricks
you waddle and you jump
you prance and you run
and still I see you
for what you
turly are
way to sweet
you make want to
barf up puppy love
I can't compete
this is just to cute
and you have some of the best
lovable, love me moves
so I'll get a sign
and write on it
'start A Trend
Give A Smile
'Hug A Human Stranger Today'
and we already know
who the winner will be
but you love us
*****sapiens, anyway

Favoured poems allow me to feel blessed, letting me rejoice
Announcing soul’s gratefulness midst apathetic noise
Vouching expression anchored upon faith’s poise
Optimizing reflective times, despite doubt ploys
Resonating human nature's bests and decoys
Expressing earnestness of heart’s voice...
Declaring my need for the Lord's hoist.
Poems I delight in reverberate with life joys
Offering inspiration against hypocrisy that annoys
Exuding truth in varied forms along writers’ prudent choice
Making me praise* God for poets and their great style-alloys...
Shaping my poetry, enhanced by what my learning pen employs.
*Psalm 44:8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.

My Favored Season…
Exploding fragrant blossoms invite…
flying newbies to share space
squatters to temporary home
buzzing news for the times.

I was blessed to have born in the good old USA and adopted at age thirteen.
Blessed to have been brought up in a beautiful small town surrounded by great mountains, and grass of the color of emerald, green.
When hunting after a torrential rain I slipped into the Potomac River and saved by holding onto the stock of my pellet gun.
What happened after that wasn't at all much fun.
When the gun slapped the mud the cocking mechanism sprang open, locking onto a stump allowing me to pull myself free of certain death from the rushing chocolate brown Potomac River.
Reflecting on that moment gives me quite a shiver.
Blessed to have survived a heavy weapon laden military aircraft which lost an engine and fell five hundred feet before regaining our altitude.
After such a terrifying incident my faith in my creator was renewed.
Blessed to have a gun aimed at me and the bullet to pass through an open passenger window of the car I was in, passed right in front of my nose and smashing the driver's side window instead passing through my head.
A fraction of an inch closer and I would have been dead.
After being wrongly accused and facing twenty years in prison I was blessed by a man who saved me from committing suicide, and there after all charges were dropped.
They tried to bury me, but they forgot I am a seed, and all their plans for eternal incarceration was flopped.
After all of this and that, there must be a good reason for me still remaining among the living.
Perhaps because of a personality that is always giving.
I am truly grateful for each and every day of this life I have savored.
I am without a doubt here for a purpose, here for a reason, blessed and highly favored.

Their garden location is given top priority.
They are noticed, observed, loved, and
Placed at the very front of our home.
I see them as I enter my property, and
They catch my eye when I am leaving as
They make eye contact, realizing they are special.
Many-color offerings, well suited to my eyes.
Roses, beautiful flowers, and a great name.
Even the sound of 'Rose' soothes my soul.
Red, white, or pink; take your pick.
Roses give me far more than they take.
Roses, my absolute favorite for many years.
A little water and pruning are adequate.
Don't worry about the thorns; just beware that
Anything of such beauty has a right to be guarded.
