Best Sacrifices Poems
Was that real??
I raised my head and saw
A flower peach in color
Real and breathing
Yes, she was real
I looked her in the eyes
Her hands twinged in mine
My sight turned towards the ground
A shadow in suit embraced one in a long gown
As if a Disney prince just met the love of his life
Moving my fingers gently through her extended hair
I thought, what she was thinking while looking at the moon
She seemed to love light
While I was always fascinated by dark
Our silence annoyed the air
A chilling wave of gale blew through us
Shivering, she moved her head and hand
They were now resting on my chest
That serenity, that peace... I can't explain
Can't believe she accepted my proposal,
But what now.... hearts beating fast
Thinking about future
Light and dark, a perfect match? Or a mismatch?
How would they get along
But why not to trust love
In front of which nothing else matter
I whispered in her ear
She lifted her head up and smiled timidly
Then said, let moon and stars be our witness
She closed those eyes, as I kissed her softly
Moving her lashes with my lips
Breathing each other's breath
Time paused, as we landed in eternity

living not unto this world,
where vices and habits thee hold!
to walk in unsure path,
never too narrow nor too straight.
to do what is right,
even though it sometimes is out of sight.
to do what is just,
even though it can trouble you about!
holding unto your faith,
even though there's pain.
suffering that shows strength,
working and living a true calling.
seeking with direction,
goals with just foundations.
true sacrifices with no malice intentions:
justified and righteous,
that even though it hurts,
just going out of your way to help,
enough just to be called Christians with true righteous answers.
If I could walk the world to pick every rose
that smiled with the brightest scarlet
and kissed with the softest petals
and lay them at your feet
because your favorite color was red,
I would
If I could swim across the seas
through the wry of waves
and under the anger of storms
against every sting of salt
for one moment with you in my arms
because you needed someone to cry against,
I would
If I could reach above into the Heavens
and grab an angel by the ankles
to drag her beneath the clouds
and strip her of her wings
because you wanted to fly, I would
If I could extend my hands
and reach into the night sky
to pick out the brightest star
and give it to you
because you were in darkness,
I would
If I could give you every smile
the warmth of every hug
and every sweetest kiss
every moment of my life
because you were lonely, I would
If could rip out my heart whole
with its every drop of blood
and everlasting love;
with its every shard of dreams
and every breath of life
because I broke yours,
I would.
She said to me “you don’t love me”
With her sweet beautiful voice
And I know she is missing me
But being apart is not by my choice
Then She said “please come I,m sick
And tears comes to my eyes
And I tell her “I love you so much
More than you can ever realize
If it was up to me I would be there
I would be in her arms tomorrow
And I would kiss her forehead
hug her close and never let her go
And I know she sacrifices so much
But she knows it’s out of my hands
sometimes our emotions will overflow
But in her heart she understands
We met on line and fall in love
and we are thousands of miles apart
and missing the one you love
it can really squeeze a lonely heart
we both live in different countries
with different heritage and culture
love will find you where ever you are
it don't need a plane .train or car
love is about the heart and soul
and not about the way you looks
this is like a true fairy tales story
the ones you only read in story books
i have never felt this close to any one
especially some one who lives so very far
and although i have never met in person
i love every little thing about her
meeting her has given me strength
while the distance makes me weak
and sometimes you cant stop tears
from rolling down your cheek
she needs me right now next to her
and want to be there with all my heart
but the complications of our life's
is the sacrifice that's keeping us apart
sometimes we meet some one unexpected
who awaken sleeping love in our soul
and its all so strange to that this happens
it throw's you off guard from your comfortable world
when we met our life's were on the fast train
with not stops in between
so we have to continue with life's journey
before we can exit on the grass that's green
yes time and distance hurts like hell
but one day the icing will be on the cake
and when we are in each others arms
it will worth all the sacrifices that was made
as the bahotalusheke are doing incantations,
other bavila clans are killing some animals.
Awakening today to a newly retired life,
I'm more attuned to the world around me,
Grateful our freedoms mean little everyday strife,
Unlike hapless people across the sea.
Let's appreciate this weekend,
Others' sacrifices for this blessed land,
Not let political squabbles our unity rend,
Instead offer each other a helping hand.

my will for you to go on,
sacrifices for the right reason.
to seek and have the better,
much like a love letter:
not compromising for the future,
still not risking any of it.
new hope that is lit;
no price for the right sacrifice,
no doubt can suffice,
so many things are hard to do,
so many unwilling to make the race.
promises yet to go true and through,
unbound changes that need to take place.
unreal to the unwary eyes;
mistakes yours and mine to make,
never to subtle to take,
so many unanswered questions,
so little real solutions,
difficult to undergo under the sun,
still so worthy in the long run.
A single mother’s love is strong and true,
She sacrifices all for her child’s life anew.
Her days are long, her nights are short,
Yet her heart is full, she is never out of sorts.
She wakes up early, to pack lunches to go,
Ace the day ahead, no time for any woe.
She dresses her child, combs hair neat,
Ensures everything is set at their feet.
She goes to work, with tired eyes and feet,
She gives her best, never accept defeat.
She works hard, for her child’s life,
To provide necessities, stop any strife.
She rushes home, to cook dinner in time,
To make sure her child’s hunger starts to decline.
She listens and talks about their day,
Hugging and kissing to say everything’s okay.
She reads bedtime stories, songs she sings,
Tucks her child into bed, gives kisses on their wings.
She prays for them, for their dreams to come true,
For health, happiness, love and friendships anew.
She sacrifices her own needs, for her child’s sake,
No hobbies to pursue, no vacations to take.
Her time and life revolve around her child,
Her love and devotion, forever undeniably mild.
Her sacrifices are felt, by one and all,
Who know and see how she stands tall,
Her love and sacrifice, never end,
Her motherhood’s a journey, never to bend.
So salute to all single moms out there,
Whose love and sacrifices, show they care,
You are appreciated, loved and revered,
Your love and efforts are truly endeared.
Day to day,
I watch you floundering,
Like a fish out of water.
The human and the mermaid.
Afraid of drowning,
He calls from his little island,
As the sea beckons.
Offering it's spoils
Torn,
You sit in the shallows.
Needless explanations
For those who hear nothing
But themselves.
Eternal sacrifices that
Led finally to the end.
Maybe you still think that
It is worth it.
But I don't need to hear
Your points of view.
I will leave you dying slowly
By your own, and
I don't mind if there is
Any way to change your
Sufferings.
Because there is nothing
Good that you've deserved.
****
When feelings died
They are dead.
Tribute To Those That Have Made Such Sacrifices
What red-hot fire could you kindle in beating chest
that would set you above and beyond all the rest?
Would it suffice, to birth glowing embers that burn
away weakness and vices your soul should spurn?
Or embrace love and hope as guardian of your will
to forever your human darkness and frailties kill?
Would your willing hands seek out the weak to aid
sacrifice your wealth and time to never get paid?
Could you walk weary miles on bleeding feet
endure miserable times with very little to eat?
Yet maintain a kind heart and cheerful air
to relieve those sick with deep despair?
Or snatch heavy burdens with eager hands
help them raise their crops on desert lands?
Would your willing hands seek out the weak to aid
sacrifice your wealth and time to never get paid?
What red-hot fire could you kindle in beating chest
that would set you above and beyond all the rest?
Would it suffice, to birth glowing embers that burn
away weakness and vices your soul should spurn?
Or embrace love and hope as guardian of your will
to forever your human darkness and frailties kill?

The words kept echoing in her mind
Like lightning in a stormy night
Her Heart forgot its rhythmic schemes
Missed several beats
A baffled smile came first
Then a rainbow burst with all its colors on her face
How long did she wait
For those three magical words to be said!
And there____ they were spoken
Her eyes closed,
His eyes fixed on her,
He asked___ don’t you
She raised her head, but couldn’t answer,
Between the eyes and him
A couple of tears beclouded the scene
Wiping the water from her face
He asked____why___with grace
She replied while turning her sight
towards the swaying Silken Tent___white
I am sorry____ I couldn’t get to you,
I got to honor my pleages ,
I don’t belong here___you do
Far above, the sky roared with its full might
She could see the swift clouds running from the horizon
To the zenith’s points, making a Dom of dark Clouds
Enclosing the earth like a body in grave…
He stood there___firm
She left
But her heart……
This to live as dying; and to die as living
Pondered by all, and weighed with a cost
This a life carrying, bearing your own cross
A virtue most noblest of any human being
Life, love, and leisure and all its pleasures
A kiss of a child and embrace of a loved member
Conversely a world so dark and fallen immensely
Found precious person jewel; now your life with treasure
Life reflective is a view of a composite collection of peoples,
friends, lovers and comrades hugged, faced to lovingly embrace
The future hidden in time but yet already put in place; a certain
hope in faith with our given or chosen landscape which induce fate
January 14 Scripture Meditations Based on Genesis 46-50
Key Verse – Genesis 46:1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

That corrects my complacency and negligence
Midst sluggardness in working, devoid of competence.
Thank You for accepting my offered sacrifices of honourable dignity
With Your commendation for my dedication’s intensity
That blesses my obedience of love for You with honesty
Midst provings in abiding in Your will of nourishing spirituality.
