Beloved flame, my faithful, fearless, fiery flame,
No fleeting face can steal the light I claim.
Your light and shadow guide my night and day,
Though distance tugs my heart to drift away.
If ever faith should falter, love would break,
Yet though you turn another path to take,
If silence falls, the bond dissolves to dust,
My arms remain a harbor you can trust.
And when at last our parted souls unite,
Like rivers drawn into the waiting sea,
I'll meet you in the tender, fading light,
And greet the dawn that sets your spirit free.
Though kingdoms crumble, stars themselves may flee,
Love's golden key unlocks eternity.
What is Love?
A four letter word comes from heart
Where faithfulness established from the start
I never imagine how it feels
When I found the person whom I can shared the reels
Then I wondered why and what really is?
The memories or language of love from this
I surrender to the genuine thoughtfulness
I divide my heart and open for forgiveness
Now it was still confusing the real meaning
Of love and how it can be dealt, too confusing
I just know that love is boundless and true
No one can ever give its exact value
Just love, feel it, share it and endure
This is the meaning of love when pure
Intentions, attentions, perfect combination
You and I can love, no buts, ifs or question
Faithfulness has something to do with character
Character that goes beyond knowing yourself
Denying oneself to the border of humbling more
How you love the one you believe is dedication
Dedication more than self-esteem is transgression
More that chosen is faithfulness in nature
Human nature that is self-initiative and spiritual
Spiritual that is deep emotional and justifiable
Living in plain and simple way of godliness
Giving the utmost attention of self-denial
Carrying one's cross and follow God's will
In God's commandment is life's forevermore.
I can make my way
If You guide me Lord
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Drive all my thoughts dear Lord
Loved all of the time
Loved all of the time
There is no end to Your faithfulness
Help me to stand tall
Please help me to stand tall
And I will always trust in Your ways
I will live for You all of my days
I shall not love thee but in summertide,
Nor only in the blush of fragrant spring;
I shall not love thee but when sorrows hide:
To time and tempers all, my heart I bring.
Practicing faith is one thing,
Living it is another;
Let both be equal in life:-
Why should I doubt, why should I fear
When Jesus my High Priest is near?
Would He desert His blood-bought child
And let him sink in sin defiled?
Has He not love and grace combined
With power and wisdom sweetly twined?
So would He leave me to decay
If I neglect sometimes to pray?
How much more faithful He than I,
When sometimes I His name deny
And when my days are filled with cares
And few and far between my prayers.
Why anxious be,
My child, my love?
I rule above
And here below,
Do you not know
That sun and storm
And smooth and rough
All good and ill
Are subject to my will –
for good?
“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
Man's bestie
Not a poodle
or westie
He looks like a wolf
Not in sheep's clothing
No danger
Only love
Faithful presence
Honest happiness
I can call his name
And in he comes
Boundless
Longing to be known
Happy to have grown
Up with me
He rests and dreams
So do I
We dream together
We walk
I talk
Whatever the weather
He teaches me something
Every day
About faithfulness
Simplicity
Honesty
Love
Even when we have to say
Goodbye
His memory
Will be etched
Onto the tombstone
Of my life
It was a day just like any other.
I walked into the room and saw you.
My head felt foggy and I was left dazed.
I knew love and I had to pursue.
We dated and loved and grew close as one.
It was like a dream that became real.
I was scared, but you said yes, however.
No words can tell how that made me feel.
I made a vow before God and to you
And holy vows to God must be paid;
That I would wed you and you be my wife
And I will keep that which I have said.
In marriage there is much irritation.
Bliss is nothing but a fairy tale.
But, we will work it all out together
And make our marriage sound, whole, and hale.
And when the years have passed by and we’re old;
Our health fades and finally life fails;
I will still be by your side faithfully.
Our love, you see, at the end prevails.
I prayed to Thee,
For mine eyes to see,
Thy ever constant presence
On every creation.
This eyes to see no hate,
Blanketed by grace,
With heart full of love,
Only to give.
I prayed for this heart
Though bruised and hurt
Broken and fragile
To keep loving.
I prayed this life I live,
Be a sacrifice unto thee
To keep praising Thee,
As long as I breathe.
Defiled, broken, shattered
Faced with storm
Yet my soul shall praise
For You are faithful.
My Lord, Your love heals me.
Your faithfulness I rely,
In You only
Alone I have my being.
My Lord, My God
Even in my storm
I shall praise You!
This all blessings in disguise.
My cross, a lease to keep me bound to You
That I may not stray away from You
This is my blessing and honour
That You God Almighty chose to see me.
Therefore when My worries drown me
And compels me for life force to leave me
Remind me this, I only have this life
To Praise You and live for You.
Remind me I'm Yours!
My ears, inclined to Jesus Christ.
My sins on his cross, sacrificed.
I believe in eternal life.
Authentic smile and full of life!
Friends depend on my faithfulness.
They can be themselves, not suppress
true thoughts, for I render no strife.
Authentic smile and full of life!
I love to explore…it is zeal…
Along with the deep joy I feel
As grandmother, mother and wife.
Authentic smile and full of life!
In the grand tapestry of life, God's plan unfolds,
Weaving threads of purpose, stories untold.
With each step we take, we journey through God's design,
Guided by divine hands, transcending space and time.
Through joys and sorrows, challenges we embrace,
God's plan molds our souls, revealing grace.
He knows our deepest yearnings, our hearts' desire,
And leads us to paths that ignite our fire.
Though storms may rage, and darkness persists,
God's plan illuminates, both earth and mist.
With faith as our compass, we'll navigate the unknown,
For in His plan, our purpose by his will is known.
Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,
Wax-filled ears would not hear it.
"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."
But His correction went unheeded.
The restless spirit wrests control,
God's will is no longer the goal,
The anxious heart is not ideal,
So, failing eyes, meet banana peel.
Seeking refuge in my enemy's camp,
I was turned into a foolish scamp,
Philistine mouths were agape.
So, I feigned madness to escape.
That was dumb, I'm ashamed to say,
Letting fear and doubt cloud my way.
The Lord's shelter never fails,
His faithful acts tell the tales.
Keep seeking the Lord in a trial,
Relying on Him is worthwhile.
Instead of becoming milquetoast-
In Him, a reason to boast.
"Come children and listen to Me.
Fear of the Lord will set you free!
Wait for Me to settle the score,
David teaches in Psalm thirty-four."
i guess it was my mood
i guess it was in my eyes
my sweets made me laugh this evening
i am so glad that i am faithful
i guess it was my lack of a smile
i guess it is how i get quiet and the way that i move
my sweets made me laugh this evening
i am so glad that love brings me home
i guess it was the heaviness of my steps
i guess it was the way my teeth grinded with each said steps
my sweets made me laugh today
i am so glad that temptation does not get me
i guess is was the redness in my eyes
i guess it was the unusual rhythm of my breathing
my sweets made me laugh this evening
i am so glad that i choose only her over needless numerosity
i guess it was the way i unevenly stretched
i guess it was the bellowing depth of my yawns
my sweets made me laugh this evening
i am so glad that our love is mutually maintained and strong in its equality
I
Unless you have been loved --
Not just reading about all types,
Unless you have been a Beloved,
My life says: until then, it's all hype
II
My mom - unschooled - loved me well
My dad, not so well, he was unwell
So I sought God, as Mother, Shakthi
I found Abba Father because of Wendy
III
Wendolene's love is not all, but so much
More than I deserve -- as with Jesus!
I met her when I was sixty
I have energy as if I'm thirty
IV
I celebrate human Love, and marriage --
Be faithful, see a miracle, all thy days!!
