Indeed dear readers, there is such a book.. Yet
In my deepest boredom, I have never looked.’
Foresooth and in truth; it’s been fifty years.?since
I glanced in his direction..I’ve no desire now to
Subject any ears’ though they be of barley.?
Or even corn.. I bind to no disputed lyric
Origens I’d druther indeed be forelorn. Cast on
An isle barren and sad.. Than laud disputed
Lyrics if you like your truth’s to be had.?

being easygoing has its advantages
but a framing of how life is processed
helps establish rules of conduct
when relationships are in the making
clarify expectations
say what you mean
and mean what you say.
clarity of ideas
well expressed thoughts
precision of words
understanding what works
and what doesn’t ~
life not a crap shoot
improve the odds
take charge
be in the driver’s seat

Fun filled, each of my days,
I'm fulfilled, the harvest of my blessings is rife~
in my ways.
So, no excuse,
I'll scatter town like a wildlife ~
let loose!
No stress!
Even no strife~
Yes!
Fun-filled, each of my days,
I'll scatter town like a wildlife ~
Yes!

In a new season of favor, we stand
With open doors to our destined land
It is time to bridge the mind-body gap
Letting go to embrace the new field map.
Transitioning into the unknown
Where tabernacle and miracles are sown
New wine flows, bursting out
Shattering chains of trauma, fear and doubt.
The old structures of pain and strife
Fall, making way for reward and life
Joy, liberty and freedom are found
In this mind-metamorphosis, we abound.
Thoughts reborn, fighting the past
Clearing confusion into new future vast
Crossing over to our miracle field
Where dreams and destiny are revealed.

When doing a favour, it needn't be returned
A favour is a favour, a show of friendship confirmed
No need to be repaid
So this gesture evade
It's sure not necessary where friendships are concerned

God's favour
Mama always say
Never be sad
you are a giver
There is a reason you were born
You got to know this and know peace
Life is not strange to bless you among
The many
So keep living your life and be careful out there
Always remember that
Evil exists
So take care of who you will become
Out there
Be in charge and in control of your actions
Be a blessing to the world my son
And here I am.

Everything built to be abandoned,
Except for hope.
Everything will decay one day,
Except for hope.
Everything will be given up at some stage,
Except for hope.
Everything will fail, eventually,
Except hope.
My hope is that humankind,
Will live out its time in peace,
That as long, as our hearts are functioning,
Love will have a home,
Hate will have nowhere to grow,
And joy will know no bounds.

She no longer loves me
She said her heart feels it
She can't even try to pretend
Like she can really control her heart
Don't pity me let us celebrate
She had the trouble to be true
Like I am untied to one sided love
The heart can now easily let go
I feel so free -out of the cage
No body can lie to me now
Pretending to feel cherished
I really love her for such a truth
If you meet her down town
Don't look at her with wild gaze
Like she be untamed cat as a cheetah
She had learnt to be true and loving
She no longer loves me
She said her heart feels it
At first she would pretend
Yet now she can't even try to ...

Favour from God the Father
fortifies steadfastly against folly
faith* of mine Christ divinely flavours...
fueled by salvation freedom
for faithful service of love's fervency
fired-up midst the Holy Spirit's revival flame.
*Hebrew 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Without fear or favour,
Will you be remembered for this kind of behaviour?
Or will your epitaph be of a different flavour.
Will you be remembered as having no backbone?
Staying on your cell phone,
While others are cut to the bone.
Will you have showed how tough your love can be?
Or will you have preferred to wait and see,
What our re-action would be.
Has, fear of being out of favour?
Ruled your behaviour,
In place of Love your neighbour.
Is fear or favour been motivating your behaviour?
When others ask you a favour,
Knowing the consequences could be dour.
Without fear or favour,
Is it possible for extremism to sour?
The news every hour.

“although the word per say is not the thing
dwelling upon its essence, gives us wings”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
English, complicated enough, as formulated
UK versus American rules have us agitated
Is it color or colour, flavor or flavour
Personally, the British origin I favour!
Yet if surprise has a hissing ring to it
Surprize the phonetic sound correct
Rising up to the truth, we are rizing yet again
Read then the essence, with rules to rest lain!

Trying to tell meaning of favour is just like giving sweets.
honestly favours acts like Mariners stop a sinking ship.
always served with liberalism favours are like cake.
never ever can't be forgotten favours are something like that.
kindness and compassion merges and creates favours.
Yeah, I agree favours are delicious flavors.
one favour can be remember always,
Unity ( many favours) are combined and stays forever.
silence can overcome violence ..
in same way favours creates more respect.
rightly said ,favours are always sweet as eclairs.
