My friend, cheer up
Never lose your cool
Act not like a fool
Start your first step
There is a sure remedy
Find it out with hope
Hard-work has a scope
To hug it, be ever ready
Time is very limited
Waste it not my dear
My words do you hear?
Let not duty be omitted
Thousand failures may arise
No success may be met
But, if optimism you get
You will meet with a surprise
God is not a silent spectator
He is going on calculating
His mind is not vacillating
He is a determining factor
You may now weep
But, surely not forever
So never get worry-fever
Try to peacefully sleep
The whole World may fight
With you showing hatred
Still loving is highly sacred
As love alone is real might
You may face now a loss
This may cause you pain
Due to a very poor bargain
Please rectify all your flaws
In case you are severely upset
Silently deliver a holy prayer
God is for the Cosmos Mayor
He gifts you peace as an asset
Just pick up courage and start
Let your mind be made stout
Be prepared for possible bout
Appeal to the noble God's heart.

We all have cycles in our life
An unbroken truth
We try to hide them
They take shape at birth
They evolve in childhood
They are carried through adulthood
A cycle can be devastating
A cycle can be imaginary
A cycle can be a vision
A cycle could be self determined
A cycle could be self destructive
A cycle could be unbroken
All these cycles in our life we control
We let them become our determining factor
But a cycle of change is rarely talked about
Our cycles our brain control its how we survive each day
Wether they be trauma or healing
Cycles are the way we see each other
My cycle has been chaotic and disturbing
But i see now that cycle needs to be gone and need to live in a cycle of positive change.
Cycles are our evolution which direction are you going to turn.

When needing a transfer, by ferry or plane
And time's the determining factor,
It's hard to stay calm 'cause a place in your brain
Sparks some stress like an A-bomb reactor.
The panic sets in that you will not connect
So you race at a speed that looks frantic
And when it turns out that you weren't correct,
The relief that you feel is gigantic.
Still, it takes quite a while for your heart to slow down
And regain the composure you've squandered.
Perhaps your next journey to some distant town
Will be solely to where your mind's wandered.

"Man....Style"
by: Eric L. Boddie
A man's style
Can initiate a woman to smile
As well as inspire the Life of a child
At the same time, it tames that which was wild
And you know it will never show denial
It's always lame, flame or mild
And each time it's witnessed, it stays on file
Because it flows a distance with more miles than the Nile
So always remember that the style of a man
Whether he is light, dark or only slightly tanned
Can be the determining factor in if he will stand
In the space where a bride and groom are hand and hand
Or if he stakes claim to a piece of land
Either in the valley, on the hills or next to the sand
Because it has a role in determining his plan
It's how he will be remembered....I hope you understand
It's Man....Style

we do not say any words right now
good times are back, so let's just sit still
too many times we allowed life to be the determining factor of our direction
we gave too much room for work and maintaining to overtake us
instead of loving each other, we made love to the darkness of the world we created ourselves
instead of blaming ourselves, we took our frustrations out on those we loved most
we ruined beautification so much so that eventually all we had was each other
we made misery Christmas ornaments for our insanity's Christmas tree
the presents we opened were were the poison of our unwanted presence
we threw away the prized possessions but kept the stresses that chained and bounded us
after several business trips to many realms of reflection, here we are....just quiet
here in the aftermath of apologies and promises to change, we just stop and take a break for a while
right here at the roots of our united oasis of love for each other, we just take it all in
....thinking about the questions marks that will be ever apparent in the morning....

No sweat no sweet
No sweat no sweet,
That is how the song
goes.
Waking up all the
lazy hands
Who still clung on
the bed
For peace enduring
and hope for better
Tomorrow with no
work.
Do make hay whilst
the sun shine
Never depend on any
one for your upkeep
Let not the day be
writ.
The beauty of a
thing may not be the
Determining factor
of its needed value.
Strife for success
and you will
overcome
Make hay whilst the
sun shine.
Believe in the value
in you
Doubt not in the
house of Thomas
Because he is the
master of doubt.
Conquer yourself and
think wide
Wider than the
oceans and seas
No sweat no sweet.
