Adoration to Mary:
Mother of Charity
Our Mother in Heaven, we adore you
Our Mother Mary – Mother of Charity – a Christian Virtue
Receive this adoration from your children
An adoration next to that of our Father in heaven
Oh Mama Mary, source of our Christian Charity
Your genuine love we credit sincerely
Your charitable children will adore you forever
Glory be to you also, our Heavenly Mother.
Amen.

Charity
Oh God, when they have taken away everything
And to me remains but nothing
From You I shall hope to have something
A helping hand from a stranger
Shall suffice although I'm meager
Can somehow quench the thirst & hunger
By that be thankful I should
By that be grateful I could
By that be joyful I would
For it is a grace to receive
Something that I can never give
It can somehow make a heave
Oh God, I should make Thee see
That I'm contented and happy
For everywhere & everytime, there's charity.

*My Morning Poems Collection…written on Epihany
Does not the beggars palm lend charity,
And thus the heart the sweeter sense?
Thy alms given before his eyes
Bear the fruit of man's enterprise
And promise of life’s reverence.
In sweet vapors ascend with thee
Soothing airs of prosperity.
Yuletide qualms?
Offer gifts, food and alms
It’s Christmas, observe St. Stephen’s plaint...
Be a blessing, serve the needy without restraint,
be Good King Wenceslas, who is the poor man’s saint.
Many suffer, employment at bay
their year-end bonus pay
Boxing Day
i often feel as if i ask too much
and say too little.
this time i will not ask, but rather tell.
of how i fear being too much,
and how i was raised on the belief
that love given solely to me was wasted,
that any charity given to me was too
much for me to possibly deserve.
or how my fear of perception has lead me
astray, wasted ideas and potential caused
by my seemingly everlasting sloth.
only this once will i tell you
of how unremarkable i am, and how truly wonderful i believe you to be.
i need you to listen to me, to close your eyes
and do nothing but live through me.
only for this moment.
only for this worthless minute that you will surely forget will i tell you all there is to know.
just this once, i won’t worry
and i’ll let you feel me so deeply in your soul
that you think that you have become me.
Stretched palms
Seek alms
Three sisters; Faith, Hope, Charity and me
were swimming naked in the moonlight
all together in a sea of tranquility
when gravity threw Hope across the water
it really shouldn't oughta
as that left Faith, Charity and I
but Faith departed can't think why
perhaps because three's a crowd
yet Charity remained unbowed
so to her I gave a tender kiss
not thinking it would be amiss
the slap she handed me it burned
seems it was all much too soon
and on that night the lesson learned
I may as well kiss the moon
For the fortunate
Life begins with love and pain
And so it continues
For those who walk a worthy path
Love and pain
Love and pain
Love and pain
Each ever increasing,
Building,
Combining
Through powerful struggle
To form precious art
Like that made from stained glass and fire
We can only hope
That our love
Can burn
So strong and so bright
That something beautiful remains
When we’re gone
A-bsent, but caring
B-ound by social anxiety
C-ontinuing Christian charity
D-elighting in incognito
E-nthusiastic in spirit
What is
benevolence?
A poor cocoon
peels off his fine silk coat
and gifts it to a tycoon
Be graceful.
PLACED : 1 St
Every morning, when I walk under my cherry trees,
There is soothing breeze which awakens my senses,
The flash back of life events roll before my eyes,
I am sent in soul searching and search for the meaning of life,
Long ago, I came to USA with a suitcase full of clothes,
A few dollars which government allowed, lasted only half a month,
Tearfully I had to take a loan, with lot of hesitation,
Loan office quipped, “If you are not in debt, you are not an American”.
Years passed, took many loans, paid many,
Worked hard, made some money,
Family flourished, till all moved,
Now I am in an empty nest.
Now I get kissed daily by,
The passing breeze of awakening,
What good is life if it does not help anyone,
Needy need food, money to educate, keep them healthy.
When I sponsor few needy students to go thru college,
I am not helping just one, but generations to come,
When hungry get food, they become strong and get ready to work,
When sick gets better, their whole life sees wonderful future.
As for awakening, I am moving away from selfish life,
Wrapping up my earthly belongings,
Readying my one suitcase,
Never know when the call comes to leave the world.
. for public domain
Hope never drains from her eyes,
never short of excitement from a simple surprise,
and Faith in a lord
was always on board,
with more than a drop of Charity.
The sight of her nourishes souls,
with the most treasured morsels
from the high table of the
fine banquet of living.
She is all giving.
She is all loving,
for those who wish she were so.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." -- Jesus Christ of Nazareth
John 15:12 KJV Bible
I study
each face as I walk
crowded streets
do they see?
me in them and them in me
parts of one body
I will hope
for more compassion
<3 charity <3
I love you!
this wilderness of mirrors
reflects who I am
