Water takes on form
determined by the container
Its main characteristic
forever to move downward
An army’s defenses
should act like water
Filling in the empty spaces
of the attacker’s weakness
Where mind and spirit meet
darkness turns to daylight
Once you luminate the battlefield
you can counter at any time
When your will pierces
the enemy’s fear and turns it against them
You swallow their spirit
digesting it whole
Advancing as one
withdrawing as one
Victory of great consequence
knows no other way
Winning flows in torrents
through the heart of the commander
Whose soldiers fight through strength of hand
—in currents to define

Love: You panacea of all ills, healer of every wound, obliterator of hate,
I pray to thee, thou fortitude to bestow upon us so as to command our fate!

So many seem to feel no self-esteem
feeling so very down think they're no good
confidence so low at various times
but there's a way to get one in the mood
You can raise yourself up again
feed yourself with good thoughts for real
talk into your mind, heart and spirit
don't cheapen your image turn your wheel
Learn not to accept inferiority
make sure never give it consent
no reason or person can do it
lift yourself up and be fully spent
Our experiences of life can affect us
whether for good or sadly for bad
never allow the bad to hold us down
hold the good so then to be glad
Pin it up on your kitchen wall
"no one can make you feel
inferior without your consent"
be your master give it your seal
(" No one can make you feel inferior without your consent")
- Eleanor Roosevelt(1884-1962)
Trump Commanding Lead
Once in our world had existed understanding;
Trump as President is controlling and demanding;
Center of attention;
We must mention,
And can you imagine Trump us all commanding.
Jim Horn
Demanding and Commanding
Once in our world did exist understanding;
Being replaced by controlling and demanding;
Canter of attention;
We must mention;
Maintaining a lead constantly commanding.

Looks Like a Commanding Lead
While I was watching God's things grow,
It was then that He had told me so;
Whole world for you God just made
But there was this fruit God forbade.
What if you did have an apple a day;
Would your each sin be washed away?
And then somewhat later you realized
Apple became bad which was advertised.
So many new standards God had to set
Which in your long lifetime must be met
Even though He is beyond all understanding
In football, like having a lead that is commanding.

So may your light continue to shine
Which will never be brighter than Mine
To be stoic and up straight standing
Lead in life, God must have a commanding.
Often all of our lives need an added perk
Which will make people part of God's work
Then we shall excel in our very existence
When people pray to God with persistence.
Even though may be of much remorse
Let God in your life set His true course;
He will become a force which is magnetic
Life will be incredible and no longer copacetic.
Sensations rush through,
Like taste of sweetest vision,
Command love by lips.
