Keep smiling through dark times,
life’s a rollercoaster of ups and downs

Hold firm resolve, to remain still,
gentling thought, word and deed,
that thus by relinquishing will,
we let love take the lead.
Awake dear heart, awake
Be tranquil like a lake
Our soul’s growth is at stake
If we’d evolve
Hold firm resolve
The farmer stands with weathered hands,
Tending soils, nurturing the lands.
His heart beats with the Earth's own song,
Though seasons shift and days grow long.
Through drought and storm, he does not break,
For in the soil, his dreams awake.
A quiet strength, both firm and kind,
A bond with nature is intertwined.
Slow down, Democrat!
Another Trump Bump;
speed again controlled --
your downhill throttle,
your Radical in a green
bottle...corked, the lessen:
Don't Drink and fanatically
drive --
All US gears back in Thrive!
Our Nation having had full,
of your screwy, Woke Jive --
You've been overwhelmingly
voted out, to unclog the Nation's
impacted, suffering Republic Orifice;
The People have loudly spoken~
showing the exit-corridors,
to Left Politicians lacking acceptable,
sane, moral borders --
American has taken a huge laxative dump
Bowel corrected, clear for freshly discharging
those newly elected given firm, purging orders!
Ego no doubt played its role
but shrouded light of our soul,
so we now lay fears to rest,
that we may rise in light jest.
Earth life is designed to test,
that soul may rise to the crest
but God’s path of love and light,
holds firm delight, day and night.
With the flag of love unfurled,
thus in but not of the world,
we feel bliss mists in us spear,
till ego does disappear.
Ego that dies, never was
other than cause of our flaws
and with it gone, soul’s light shines,
as presence with God aligns.
We yet need to walk the talk,
taking care never to balk,
that awareness self-aware,
lays before God, it’s soul bare.
Stir up the roots, let them come alive
For in this season, we will thrive
We will learn, develop and see
In ways we never thought it could be.
Amidst great adjustments, we will steer our way
For in Him we are strong, we will not sway
We will change our minds to think like Him
The God of the impossible, the faithful One.
He is Elohim, the God of amazing miracles
With His grace, we will overcome obstacles
When troubles roll in, and fear takes hold
We will stand in His promises and be bold.
For there is a place where we can stand
Where the foundation is steady and grand
We will step back into that new place
Where His love and grace we embrace.
Rains may come and winds may blow
But our faith in Him will continue to grow
For our house is built on the firm foundation
In Him, we find safety and timely consolation.
Hold Firm Your Immovable Sacred Heart
Your sword that badly broken thrown away
night winds blowing another world apart
seven nuns, heads bowed slightly to pray
but what of my loving heart that gave your start
has this terrible world defeated us
did the black river decide to flow west
pure gold or did the dying man just cuss
as those spitting words cursed you the best.
Hold firm your immovable sacred heart
that pierces very deep my troubled soul
in the Heavens, across Poseidon's chart
red roses strewn celebrating your goal.
Your sword that badly broken thrown away.
Seven nuns, heads bowed slightly to pray.

age 24, getting more serious..
Something about her heart, beating;
Something in her soul, intriguing;
The God in her, in her is God;
I standing a firm foundation
Hallelujah
Something in her smile Jesus;
Her voice so wonderful Jesus;
She walks with head held high;
Praising the All Mighty
Something about her faith;
Doesn’t dissipate;
She often late, To the glory of the Father she concentrates;
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
Something in her smile Jesus;
Her voice so wonderful Jesus;
She walks with head held high;
Praising the All Mighty
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
Something about her heart, beating;
Something in her soul, intriguing;
The God in her, in her is God;
she's standing high praising in a firm HALLELUJAH
I standing a firm foundation
Hallelujah

the harder you must try to find a new way to fly.

Wrong preferences or wrong people?
Which one makes you feel lonely?
Or do you refer to 'yourself' literally?
My life was found in pain
I was ransomed for a pen
Never will I permit my soul to ache
I won't construct the same mistake
I was throbbing everyday
My grief was unheard anyway
Now I will stand compacted
My aplomb will be contracted
To separate and to divide,
to redefine things once held dear.
The distances grow ever wide;
the isolation leads to fear.
I think we’re headed for some grief;
more troubled times lie in our way.
As faith gives way to unbelief,
confusion seems to rule the day.
Our institutions lose our trust.
Unmoored, folk find it hard to cope.
But these are things that rot and rust,
and not where we should place our hope.
Hold fast, hold firm, dismiss the lies,
the adversary’s crafty talk.
Times such as these are no surprise
to feet firm planted on the rock.
when you hit rock bottom "STAND"
Because your true foundation IS
Not rock, granite, nor sand, it’s Jesus- HALEHUJAH AND
AMEN

Love will crown you yet
At the same time, it will also crucify you!
Love as sweet as honey was transformed into a closet of darkness
The love that was shared was the end and the beginning
On this road of life, we will come to find ourselves alone for a season!
The scent of bliss will not last forever
Cuddling with fame because
You want to uplift someone’s name can
Be tragic especially if the vision for love is not the same!
Delicate fibres of beauty
Requires unity with the rest of your purpose!
Without the proper functioning of the eyes
We would be plagued with toxins and
Often our eyes deceive us!
Love so firm can transform a man for good or bad
What is really sad is the fact that
The scent of bliss will not last forever!
In reality, on this road of life
We will come to find ourselves alone for a season and
In solitude what love really is!

Beseech the Lord, for revelations, let Him equipe
You for spiritual battle; for unrest it is lapping at our feet.'
Perversion is rife, sin is advertized broadly.. And what
Does revelations ch 13 v 7 explain.' For those who say
What can we do..? Does it say the beast makes peace
With you? Or you with him.? I think rather not ? So what
Is your answer? Is it yes and amen ? to the Lord of
Hosts' for if you have read that scripture that describes
Christians ' actions then read further to revelations ch 15
Verses 1 to 2.. What are your thoughts,.? Who is this
Who makes it so very plain? 'Who else indeed.? As
God lives surely satan will die, his spirit extinguished
Glory Glory Glory.. Praise Him call upon His name.'
