Prayer for the 8th Commandment
Oh Father God, You have commanded us not to bear false witness
This I must, this I observe with carefulness
For You hate those who make lies
It is not healthful like a vice
Oh Jesus Christ, help me not to be a liar
Lying and false accusations can ignite war
To the Lord I confess everything that is true
From the Lord comes the truth for me & you
Oh Holy Spirit, help me not lie & falsely accuse
This is God's command, this must be put to use.
Amen.

*Prayer for the 10 Commandments
Hugging commences tenderly, a potential of carefulness,
Carefulness constructs in quietness, basics laid there,
There develops the persistence, firm and true,
True promises arise when hearts learn to restart.
Restart with touch, yet lips still abstain,
Abstention teaches lovers that progress must continue,
Continue in the instant, not rushing ahead,
Ahead lies the fruitlet of what’s slowly bred.
Bred in the warmth of arms that reveal,
Reveal without speed, let belief be the monitor,
Monitor every phase until affection is complete,
Complete love improvements, approving the passion.
Poem by N. Mugisho
And can there be another place
Where love and kindness find their space
A place where carefulness controls
Where tricks and treachery
Fall in holes
And smoothness paves
The daily paths
Of those
Who have no sense of ease,
Whose struggles never seem to cease?
Yes, indeed, there is a place
Where hopes and future have a face.
Not made of things not merely matter
Not loads and loads of useless chatter.
True hope is real
In reach of all
Whose voices call
Confessing need
And then proceed
To trust that love
That holy love
Of precious, precious Jesus.
??Psalm? ?16:8? ?KJVAAE??
[8] I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Some, might think what is that ring
You have on your right hand.
My brother said, are you double married.
Nope the one on the left hand,
Reminds me of this battle in the flesh.
While, the one on the right hand,
Reminds me to keep Jesus first,
Which, destroyed my old self.
And all the battles in everyday worries.
To become what Jesus died for.
??1 Corinthians? ?7:32?-?33? ?KJVAAE??
[32] But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: [33] but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
Played with marsh
And fell into it.
The struggle was harsh.
He couldn't succeed even a bit.
Playfulness
Leads to harmfulness
Carefulness
Could bring cheerfulness
Shouldn’t each human know this?
Shouldn't they avoid amiss?
I am continuously by many hated
My mother alone has compensated
Soothing words are by her stated
A feeling of happiness is created
She will warm me up by kindness
And advice me to practice calmness
She will tell the greatness of fairness
Admonishing me to follow carefulness
When I recollect the past and feel
She will for me before God kneel
Asking the Almighty to soon heal
My sorrow making my will steel !
Always she will give something to eat
Then only her act is for her complete
She will encourage me to compete
And accept in case comes defeat !
My sorrow is to her a sad occurrence
For me she will pray to act as a defense
Her love is a fence giving me confidence
She is a boon given to me by providence.!
Money when is greedily accumulated
Even though prosperity is created
We fail to enjoy the presence of it
We may not celebrate it even a bit
That attitude will grow like forest-fire
We may not stop firmly that desire
As our heart, greed will dominate
Our mind, desire will contaminate
Acquisition of money is a bad illness
It must be monitored with carefulness
When we plan to amass great wealth
We may not care about our health
Money will inflate our ego severely
Making us behave like demons really
We may see prestige in petty matters
And we may fail to enjoy this Universe
If money is our servant, we then win
For money only is committed great sin
If enough becomes our only formula
Our life will be devoid of any flaw
If you can decently make a living
If happiness, contentment is giving
You are traveling on the right track
Nothing on this fine Earth, you lack.
I'd like to bid fare well to all past sadness
That in my life has caused me pain.
And flush them out of life forever
& flush them down lifes drain.
I've overcome many a battle
In which ive fought so hard & true.
Conceding in the end to our loving times
And to the past paths we did pursue.
So now I walk on alone now
Free from past constricting pains.
Looking ahead of me with carefulness
Regaining strength from all past gains.
I wish you all the best in life
I wish no hurt be caused tof you.
For we shared many loving yearsed together
In a life we did pursue.
They are many voices all around
creating thoughts of many a kind
carefulness is required just in case
these thoughts can make one blind
We all have that inner voice
not audible but just as strong
speaking tones of sounds in our head
giving us the option right or wrong
There are dark voices that speak
to those suffering depression so bad
holding them down feel like chains
making it all seem so very mad
The listening ear needs are tender
for the voice so soft hard to detect
learn to know all the spirit would say
then you know the right voice to select
Amidst all the sounds that are heard
there a still small voice truly divine
come down from God for our benefit
which says come to me drink of my wine
This wine is spiritually powerfully full
taking us down the heavenly route
so keep our ears to be in tune
follow this voice to eat succulent fruit
How dainty and shy is she
She is even ever so, she warms the soul.
If you do handle her, handle with carefulness.
If she is approachable at all.
Sweet and delicate a flower
With a winter strength of gold
So I suppose she knows her
Elegance
This rose is so admired and LONELY
On winters dance floor.
For none other grows at the frigid
Cusp of this season except this rose
Watch her in the most frosted temperatures,
She hoards the empathy of passing strangers
On their way to festive affairs.
What a dizzying fanciful dessert
Any and every heart would dote deliriously
One of life's priorities, this golden rose
Rosy, rosier, rosiest
Every other rose knows
Fancies her, most fanciest, she's fancier
With her white snowflake dress
The most alluring. The golden quiet
Queen knowing her pose and poise
With silent rejoice.
Step on a crack break your mothers back
No way is she going to go down with that
So I watch what I do, the direction I move
To not hurt my mom with the steps that I choose
I even avoid the cracks that I see
Randomly placed, all taunting me
When lightening slides by, cracking the sky
I turn my back and quickly close both my eyes
Never dare do I stare when a plumber is near
At the massive crack looming from his derriere
Never thought I would find nor realize
There are so many cracks filling our lives
Now that I know I try and avoid
So my dear sweet mother can grow healthy and old
I don't swing around to the bad side of town
Where crack in a bag can be easily found
Then in my carefulness I find that I slipped
Not watching where I placed my last careless step
I let out a gasp as I hear a loud crack
Knowing full well where that crack is at
Oh all the horror, oh all the shame
That I am the one to accept all the blame
What I feared all along went terribly wrong
Now all I've got to say is...Sorry Mom
Past, I want to turn on the past,
The time when we we're still sweet,
Always I think every night,
Happiness on us can't get lost,
Tears in my eyes can't really hide it,
Because you're always in my sight.
You mend my broken heart,
But easily you broke.
You healed my pain,
But easily you hurt me.
You caress me,
But easily you changed.
How can I forget the past?
You're thoughtfulness, whom I can search that?
You're carefulness, can I just forget it?
Definitely I can't...
Because you're all I want.
Operating from our corridors in this oasis
We sit or stand concerned about passers by
To wave farewell or badmouth
To smile clearly or grumpy
In this globe full of confused folks
With catastrophes hinged on sentimental posts
Bigotry borne of greed and jealousy
Hard faces masked with friendliness
As handshakes extend beyond the elbows
We carefully watch out for falling rocks
On our canopies we expect them to litter
The slightest noise we stand at an attention
Seem too careful but helpless
Cus out of luck we huddle over thorns to step on thistles
We crawl beneath sight into quicksands we drop
Just mean to say
Carefulness is just an avoidance of blame
Only God could have taken us this far
if a blue sky day was you,
wellness would be perfectly received
all joy would be fully noticed
all rivers would flow with flawless fluidity
if a blue sky day was you,
snowflakes would smile with endless radiance as they fall
raindrops would make all things beautiful in a quiet simplicity
sunshine would bring it all together in the proper alignment of unison
if a blue sky day was you,
all music made would be enjoyed by everyone simultaneously
all rhythmic patterns would be constructed with proper carefulness
the art of life would be displayed for all to enjoy and become wholly inspired
