Best Godlife Poems
When I'm with you, O Lord Jesus,
All my worries disappear like dusts.
By your grace and love,
My life is so complete.
When I'm alone in the dark,
I call upon your name, O Most Loving God.
It's only then I find happiness and peace
In my heart, soul and mind.
When Your Holy Spirit guides me,
My soul glides high in the mountains.
I need you by my side, O Lord Jesus,
I can't live without you in my life.
My God, I can feel the joy in my heart.
Now my life seems perfect and right.
O Lord Jesus,
You are behind these diamond smiles.
When I'm with you, my Lord Jesus,
Your love is my source of strength & hope.
You protect me from pain and sufferings.
You shelter me from the heartache of life.

Godlife
God and Life are one and the same
Synonyms you could say
But with differences.
God is the intangible,
Life the visible and touchable.
No matter how much we try, God
Remains just out of reach
But Life is what we know without a doubt.
Yet even within the tangible and sensory
There is the intangible always present.
If you doubt this, find a person who is dying
And see how different they look
After they have gone.

One Love
With the passage of time
One love follows after another
- the nouns of our existence
people, places and things
we place our hopes on -
Changing like the seasons
In cycles of growth and decay.
But one love remains constant
Timeless simply by its presence out of time
Ever changeless and unconditioned
Even if unacknowledged
Neglected or denied
A root love
That knows no bounds.
With the seasons we cycle
Around and around
Growing and decaying,
Recalling and forgetting
What it is that holds us
In its orbit
In its love.
(3/19/24)
Not a being
But being
This life
Endless in its manifestation
Wondrous in its display
Nowhere but here
Nowhen but now
This, just this,
Amen.
