Best Upliftinglight Poems
Walking alone past the reeds blowing lace,
Stroking the oak by the old wooden gate,
Guided by trust to my lovers embrace,
Pouring my heart into leaves as they bate
Wind into dancing as feet hesitate,
Just long enough to find rhythm, I trace
Patterns in air as the pollen creates -
Fair is the face of the Lords given grace...
Sky paints a picture for moon in dark space,
Vast driven oceans of life demonstrate
Love for the mountainous deserts displaced,
Each born anew, by the wind to its fate -
Seamless infinity’s natural state,
Is seeing your eyes on another’s kind face
And Finding forgiveness for those who breed hate,
Fair is the face of the Lords given grace
Out in the sun as light seeks out its place,
Faith comes to breathe as it encapsulates
Bodies of men where his truth is encased,
Dreamers whose dreams become true and innate,
Their journey is hard but rewarding and great
Where love can be found but cannot be replaced
And words that when written just right captivate,
Fair is the face of the Lords given grace...
Each breath I breathe makes me appreciate
How beautiful life is, how rich and how chaste -
Nature’s perfection is light incarnate,
Fair is the face of the Lords given grace...

It' so easy to imagine that a creator would impart
To all his creations a bit of himself in each heart
When my soul cries out, yearning for connection to the light
When words and no earthly love prove enough to console the blight
Music and meditation are blessed stairways which lift me upon wings
Transporting to a sacred place of worship beyond the worldly strings
Where no religion, or walls of stone would affect
Subliminal commune of light with light in a deeper respect

the Lord is my beacon of light
he keeps on shinning both day and by night
and even in fog or when darkness starts to draw near
his light drives out anxiety or anything that we fear
the Lord is my beacon of light that guides my way
giving me strength to face the day
the Lord is my beacon of light that will never glow dim
the Lord is my beacon of light and I belong to him
the Lord is my beacon of light
he keeps on shinning both day and by night
he is my hearts desire and my delight
the Lord is my beakon of light. Amen.
PS 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation--
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life--
of whom shall I be afraid?
JOB 22:28 What you decide on will be done,
and light will shine on your ways.
J ohn3: 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly
that what he has done has been done through God."
Breathe, when thunder questions how long you can hold your breath
When clouds bring you to remember all of your mistakes
You will find inspiration, a drop of water to quench your thirst
The light in your eyes will shine as calmness you remake
Breathe, when your mind loses touch with the static of your energy
When there seems to be no lantern to light your way
You will begin to paint that picture of a sun which shines again
Watching joy run happily through the halls of your day
Breathe, when no happiness can you seem to ever find in your heart
When everything makes you feel worn down and hungry
You will begin to feel better in knowing that all hope is not lost
Roses will bloom, in the grand design, of your victory
Breathe, when you cannot remember the lessons you have learned
When all you can think about are the wolves at your door
Soon, your spirit will find comfort in a quiet solace there at play
Wondering what you were ever holding your breath in for
Once again the day draws near,
once again “We Have Seen His Star”.
There’s something in the air this year
drawing many both near and far.
My prayer: that there be light this Christmas
shining deep in the hearts of some.
Truth breaking forth that God is with us;
to all who would seek, He says, “Come”.
Like the Wise Men of so long ago
who said, “We have seen His Star”,
Many have sought Him and now they know,
He still calls to both, near and far.
Jesus, the joy of man’s desiring,
O, what it is that you mean to me.
You are the One I’m always admiring
as I shine your Light for all to see.
About the room are tokens of Christmas
including a tree, decorated as can be.
But my mind goes back across the years
to a hillside and another tree.
*God didn’t place HIS gift under the tree but rather-upon it!*
With a whimper, you fall upon each knee,
Rain cascading deliberately on your shivering body.
Hands sinking into the grave, not a plea for a savior,
Head hung low, Death would only be doing you a favour:
A perpetrator sent to set things straight,
No light in your eyes for it’s already too late.
You sink further into the murky mud.
Alas, you start at the cry of an angel,
Eyes closed shut, you are merely a fool.
They sing, voices depleting a sky full of anguish,
To release on you the Sun’s faint kiss.
A warmth of light sparks realization.
Raise your head, dear soul,
For remorse may not take its toll,
On a life with a spirit strong and dear,
March ahead, as you have nothing to fear.
A body is raised from the soils of the Earth.
With a step you stumble, trudging defiantly ahead.
If not for a glimpse of hope, you’d surely be dead,
Life is a gift, best not to forget,
Each hardship and error, born to make you sweat,
In order to pass Life’s game, Life’s test.
I love you more than you can imagine
More than there are stars on a clear night sky
I will love you through time and after
Into death and the abyss of time
You light me up when I am down
You have shown me surrender does not bear a crown
The light in my heart and the light in my soul
Reaches for you
The forever endless goal
Neon beams of spectrum light inscribed upon the cloud
As artists pastel palette paints and graciously endows
God’s colour chart in majesty on heavens canvas scrolls
In misty watered pastel hues the Promise arc unrolls
Across the hills and valleys the thunder trumpet sounds
from the charcoal hills of slate it deafeningly resounds
There Zeus’s lance divides the air with concentrated might
A visual embodiment, in unharnessed blinding light
The swirling mist of waterfalls clings close to craggy wall
And offers canvas to the paint sprayed through natures hall
The myriad tints and subtle shades, in Technicolor shows
A master class of artistry displayed in each rainbow.
prayer
prayer is strength that we all bare
prayer asking for light when life turns into a moral dare
Lord light the roads for my girls
they have been great friends to me
Lord release their pain
Let triumph be what they see
and what they gain
Let them rest
Lord grant them your refuge so they can be at their best
May they lay their frustrations in Your hands in complete faith
May they be patient knowing it will ALL be okay
send signs of confirmation throughout their days
LORD I love my girls with all my spirit.. and heart
if they are at a crossroads- show them the way OVER to start
if they are fighting morality- let them cool down and let things be
I pray for them and I also pray for me
we all face affliction of times twisted
things involving: life change home school loss interference dispute miscommunication and
even the law
Lord give us the strength to stand tall
Lord I ask for your blessing in all we do and all we face
May we all overcome.. with humble grace
In Jesus' name I pray...
Amen
You waste your days
Wishing for more
Wondering what's happened with your life
Why wont it get any better?
All the empty promises
All the failures
You can't seem to escape
From the hole you dug
Faith is expensive
Friends can let you down
Love is impossible
Because you're blinded by pain
These golden moments
Become tarnished and faded
The clear memories
Become fuzzy and dim
Where has life put you?
Struggling to break free
of these cold steel chains
That have trapped you in darkness
And then you find the key
One thing that brings light into the shadows
The weight you struggled with
Has suddenly become a lot lighter
One person holds this key
And light in his eyes
Brightens your world
You can see now
Pull yourself out of the hole
Get out of the darkness
He wants you to stand in the sunlight
and love him like he loves you.

She is like a diamond.
Shining so brightly in this world.
She has suffered so much more than many can imagine.
And she is still okay.
She has been thrown around in every direction
and survived every fall.
It seemed to not phase her at all.
She looked passed all of it and kept going.
She kept living her life to be the best she could be.
She is unbreakable.
Like a diamond.
Her strength is immense and she can make her way through anything.
She is beautifully and uniquely made.
Nothing can change that.
She lets her light shine so brightly.
She is determined to change the world by shining her light to others.
She is a diamond.
