Edifies Poems

Who do you think of

Who do you often think of?
Is it God?  Or is it man?
Should I think of God?
That is a funny question 
Should your problems be of God’s?
Or should your problems be of man’s?
The higher One?
Or the lower one?
You choose
Set your mind straight
Choose one?
Or choose many?
Serve God?
Or serve man?
God can take you far
Man can lead you to a standstill 
God does not stumble you
Man will lead you astray 
The roads God leads lead to life
Man’s roads full of gravels and consequences 
God edifies 
Man magnifies
Full of sorrows?
Or full of sun?
Light? 
Or darkness?
The narrow way?
Or the high way - your way?
Be of solutions? 
Or be of thorns?
God knows

A Gift of Prayer Language

A Gift of Prayer Language, given from above,
A bridge of communion with the Lord,
It brings peace, insight, strength and love,
Helps us reach out to others in accord.

It builds us up and grows our boldness
To proclaim the wonders of God's great strength,
Unifying and bridging barriers, bringing peace,
Stirring in us spiritual gifts and callings.

It edifies us and increases discernment,
Raising our self-esteem and faith in His working,
This gift of prayer language, ever so dear,
A sweet connection between God and me here.

Think

Seek for truth in the inward parts
out of our mouth make sure is TRUE
that’s what edifies our whole character
truth is what’s wanted on view

Are we really the helping kind?
going out of your way to be HELPFUL
that should be our motto in life
so that we live by this golden rule

Consider much all that we say
to others ears is it truly INSPIRING?
Make it to lift other folk's heart
So all their cylinders are firing

Do we consider what’s the purpose?
these words are they really NEEDED?
make sure they prove worthwhile
not just wasted but wholly treated

It’s so good to have a merciful heart
to look out for others and be KIND
folks respond to that attitude
it’s like a lost coin that you find

So THINK long and really hard
put this motto always in your mind
keep it close so use it often
change this world for a better kind


(This is an old one from 2016

an inspiring motto for life.

The Home of Love and Academia

A Matriculation Poem to Welcome Freshers at the University of Makeni

Welcome to an academic home of excellence, 
Where hunters hunt love in excess
And fishers fish knowledge and accumulate providence.
An academic place above;
Where we build a civilization of love with no curve.

UniMak has nurtured her seed in civilized love and education of quality.
Her breed is scattered all over, serving society
While her students are victimized by Government gratuity. 
Are we not children of Mama Salone?
That we should be left to wander in this journey alone! 
 
We build a civilization of love
As we believe in the Holy Cross as a dove.
We are but benefiting under the nomenclature of Fatima’s love.
A kind and lovely mother,
She edifies us on how to build a civilization of love without borders.

We are the Genesis of love in this countryside,
And the orthodox of scholastic civilization as our pride.
We are on an academic ride;
A journey to love all and to transform society 
Oh, mother! Help us now, as we build a civilization of love in purity.

Holy Bible

Holds many precious promises for those
Obedient to God’s commands, who
Love His Son, from Whom the offer of Heaven flows for
Young and old who believe He can make hearts new

Blessings AND warnings throughout its pages
Illumination for the wayward or confused mind
Beacon of guiding light throughout the ages
Leads us to be forgiving, helpful, and kind
Edifies when life is good or when chaos rages

Carpe Diem 3

Carpe Diem 3

The dawn awakens me to stir and rise
an energy surge is leading the way
inspired time to shout and seize the day
uplifted by the bright and azure skies

begin my day with a purpose in mind 
I gird myself to enter and transform
a strenuous task that I must perform 
my dream has come true to give me a sign

a mountain of choice that I will ascend
to seek my God with his power of love
he answers me within the clouds above
and edifies me after I descend

Spring Re-Birth Wonders

Lovely freshness showcases God’s wonders
Great Spring’s grand blessings, awesomely beauteous
Dulcet chirpings prevail over thunders
Gardens* assured of yields, indeed plenteous.

Fields cheerfully welcome budding bliss-sprouts
Below clouds like chiffon yearning for grace
Farms gladly gear themselves toward growth’s routes
Propelled upon heavenly power’s brace.

Re-birth highlights genuine spiritual spring
Marked by the Lord Christ’s resurrection might 
With revivals that Holy Scriptures bring
Prodding souls toward transformation’s height.

Springing hope’s lace tied to faith fluorescence
Edifies new life’s marvelous essence.

*Isaiah 61:11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Poetry To Me

Powerful!  Such is poetry at work…
Oh!!! So overwhelming at its best
Earnest in its evocative essence
True to its communicative trademark
Revealing realities, ready for responses
Yes; verily mighty… stirring you and me.

     Precious as a gem, priceless is poetry’s wisdom
     Open to all; offering avenues for self-expression
     Empathy-laden; examines as it edifies inner being
     Tool more than a tongue; touches heart’s verities
     Reliever of soul’s angst; reckoning expert 
     Yonder hope’s anchor; yesterday’s re-liver.

Praise to God is what my poetry proclaims
Overtaken with His blessings, I ought His grace declare
Exalting Him, extolling His goodness constantly
Testifying about His love, unconditional and wondrous
Reporting thru verses, recording by stanzas His greatness…
Yielded am I to Him, my faith’s Author* Whom I live for! 

*Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”

The Magic of Genuine Love

Genuine love adds value to lives that cherish, welcome, water, nurture, nourish it and furnish a conducive environment for its germination, growth and its development into a nugget that both lives require for its fuller realization and deployment in two hearts on fire, imbued with the right chemistry at the right time and in the right place. 

Sublime love caresses
kisses, blesses, elevates
edifies, magnifies.

Bonds of Marriage

B-onds of marriage 
U-se the words of the Almighty; 
K-eeping the promise alive, 
L-ove works in matrimony.
O-ne organized couples' group edifies the husband and wife; 
D-ecember fifteenth nineteen sixty-two, Buklod began to exist in life.

F-or better or worse, 
I-n health or in sickness; 
F-or happiness or sorrow, 
T-ill death they say
Y-es.

F-or richer or poorer, 
I-n spite of the old age; 
V-ow will not be broken, 
E-ven the bonds of marriage.

As We Greet Him With Love

A-s we greet him with love, 
N-ew dawn has just broken; 
G-reetings of high regard
E-manate from all the brethren.
L-et us greet him with love, because he cares for the fold; 
O-pen our hearts to him who edifies the sheep of the Lord.

E-xtend our greetings with love, 
R-ight after the night is gone; 
A-llow our words to bring
Ñ-othing but joy to the
O-ne.

M-ay first early morn, 
A-n entire flock remembers; 
N-o one will ever forget, 
A-s all become well-wishers.
L-et us make him smile, while the sun rises above; 
O-ffer a prayer to God, as we greet him with love.

Due To Deeper Devotion

L-ight from the sky shines,
A-s the shadows depart from view; 
I-t's a wonderful day,
L-ovely morn comes out
A-new.

A-n early dawn fourth March
B-reaks before sunrise; 
C-old chilling rain is over, 
E-vening haze passes from eyes.
D-ark is already gone, soft wind blows in the trees;
E-ach leaf silently sways, feeling the cool breeze.

C-oal clouds don't gather, 
A-s the mist is nowhere to be found; 
A-ir so fresh touches your face, 
C-reating comfort around.
B-eacon brings warm embrace, 
A-s well as gentle emotion; 
Y-es, it edifies the love due to deeper devotion.
