Letter To My Children

Think not that you were not born so rich;		 
Your knowledge, you better try to enrich.		 
Think not that your complexion is not fair;
To compare it with others’ is rather unfair.
Mind not the place where you were born;
It is the one that you are bound to adorn.	
Think not the job that you do is very

Life's Essentials

What value do I place on love
or the olive branch of a dove
What treasured blessings come thereof
from God above    from God above

What esteem do I give to rain
the source of life it does sustain
nourishing fields of amber grain
in God's domain    in God's domain

How cherished is the risen sun
warming Earth

Speaking of Essentials

If I am so non-essential why is it essential that I pay taxes??

Essentials

Stars are my guide,
Love is my guard,
Faith will take me home,
Hope is by my side.

Essentials Only

A phantom virus, tentacles open free
with perpetual license to kill and kill.
Sentenced to death on lonely beds, 
an imprisoned world standing still.

Fearful eyes over mask covered faces
plead to get back to the "normal" days.
All number graphs on TV news channels
are dearest names who've lost their gaze.

A wake -up call to sanitize your lives

You Stood Tall

You stood tall 
In the midst of
A crisis and you
Were the last face
That a dying person see
Not having to die alone
You were there as a comfort
Lonely hearts that fought
The good fight because
Of your kindness
And devotion

Lockdown Essentials

I believe in God’s power* midst lockdown
Since no disaster can shut His grace down.

In such state, I need foremost the Bible
Scriptures anchor my faith to be stable.

Medicines serve as great necessities
To combat blood pressure’s adversities.

Vitally important are documents
For social and financial engagements.

Hygiene kit plus sanitizer’s fullness
Shouts “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” 

Money, though ephemeral, meets

God's Essentials

To love God is loving yourself and all that's created. 
To understand God is to know what's fated.
God's creation is a mark of beauty
We are Gods creation who are called to duty

We are bound by God to serve
Some of us slide and sometimes swerve
God is loving and Kind
He even gave us a day to unwind

Essentials

"essentials"
each time with you my breath is taken away
such wonder to see ivory open and free
splendor journeys beyond grass reaching golden sands
essential are you to my true existence
never is there a time I question your being
tides flow from the shore touching my soul
I inhale inch by inch and mile by mile
ancient codes reveal mystery time

Essentials

“ESSENTIALS”

Cluttered contents exposed by an open cupboard door
Time once again the enemy—staring at the clock on the wall
Just two nights— in Paris- ‘luggage’ and ‘baggage’ to be kept small
Life becomes weighted with each passing day
Reflections on life—real ‘Essentials’ to pack on our way

SIMPLICITY—life is far too complicated-- new goals to be reached
Striving for social standing,

Essentials

Color in red and blue:
Not blue in purple—
Just the smell of red.

A Summary of Essentials

Prayer is the silence of the heart read alone by you
Faith is the patience of the soul that keeps love true
Truth is invisble to the eyes and found only in belief
Love is you in me, and myself given in all to others
Joy is knowing I served you well, kept nothing here
Hope is the longing for
