How we live our lives really matters most,
For heaven’s gaze is fixed with deep concern.
Eternal issues rise - a sacred host -
And from our choices, timeless truths we learn.
It matters to all who stand dear and nearby,
Especially those who love and look to us.
We are charged to live godly, not just try,
With hearts full of obedience and trust.
In presence of all heaven, we constantly stand,
For He makes winds His messengers in flight,
And flames of fire His servants by command.
All heaven watches us, both day and night.
So let our light before all brilliantly shine,
That cosmos sees - and glorifies His Name.

From moments when love was cherished in Stalingrad,
Like stories written on the walls
With the song repeated by Babushka
And not long after that, the war reached its gates.
Hands turned into fists and ready for battle
Like heads and shoulders patiently under the whip,
The Motherland Calls enchants and glorifies,
Without knowing the ensuing bloodbath.
Every minute felt like a bundle of fear,
With the magic of free will as faded as a dust,
Like a house turned into rubble
And corpses piled upon corpses.

Yahweh shows continuous action
If there is any fraction of our lives that needs attention
Yahweh is active, and He works in our lives
The faithful love of God the Father has no end
His Great Love covers a multitude of sins
His Love stands firm forever
Because He cares and prepares the hearts of many
Do not fear
Yahweh is faithful until the bitter end
He sent forth His Son, Jesus, who
Won the battle over death
Through Him, the breath of our existence glorifies Him
So we know that Yahweh is faithful until the bitter end
Yahweh shows continuous action
If there is any fraction of our lives that needs attention
Yahweh is active, and He works in our lives

Social media is a charade
A manic masquerade
Where charlatans peddle lies
And truth slowly dies
But you were led to the dance
And you thought you had a chance
So you either go ballistic
Or end up a statistic
Volatile times produce hostile rhymes
And television that glorifies crimes
We're taught to live shameless
And despite mistakes we're blameless
To them everything is a game
Laughing as you seek clout and fame
Those lives you see aren't real
But the devil made a deal
Instagram is full of posers
Facebook is full of hosers
Reality is your brochure
To disconnect and find closure
Don't be afraid of friction
As you escape the fiction
Social media is a charade
A manic masquerade

Worldly songs fret
The human ears
Tickles the heart.
Great song not age
It lives by time
Respect lyrics.
Love songs rain heart
Emote the eyes
Makes lovers dream.
Song glorifies
Souls that sleep
Touch heart of God.

she brings the joy of Jesus into a room
the atmosphere goes up in a mad zoom
her enthusiasm is natural and God-like
you can feel the others' blood pressures spike
She is not in competition with any other
A corn-fed Iowa girl with a Godly mother
From the Bible belt, which is a great place
She changes the mood, now sets the pace.
The conversations get more honest and true.
The others feel her Godly rainbow hue.
She glorifies the Father up above in a lovely way.
Restarting many an onlooker’s day.

Always Speak The Truth
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth
Truth is grace, with shining face
Reflects one's glory, fills personality space
Truth is love, truth seed sow
Truth is gold, glitters and glow
Success in truth lies, which touches the skies
In testimony when spoken, it gives surprise
Truth verifies and dignifies, truth testifies and horrifies
Truth magnifies and glorifies, truth surmise and beautifies
Truth is power, odors of flower
Truth is dignity, each minute each hour
Never tell a lie, speak the truth
Don't feel shy, speak the truth

Love
It's about existence.
Just in time for hope.
Endless and uninterrupted.
it's scratching our hearts.
The dream of the cruel.
It doesn't matter what the subject is.
Heartbreaking.
My eyes close and my eyes open.
I think with names that hurt me.
It glorifies my anger.
With the taste that wants everything.
My eyes are watering and flowing from my eyes.
My tongue sticks to my palate.
I swallow but cannot speak.
My voice trembles if I speak.
I hear but I do not hear.
To the heart of our pain.
The bloating makes our stomachs shake.
He is surprised by his birth.
It seeks out the pain that keeps us all in deep sleep.

Most things that taste good are bad for you the true
Nutrients is the closeness to the wrongness now aloof
When you swallow the truth and glorifies you
It brings you closer to the essence of life truth
GOOD TASTE FIT RIGHT TRUTH-aloof
Now those things that are fitting for you conform
And fit on you they don't just fall and hang loosely on you
Like a drape hanging down and the tightness there is
It's the embrace of there is a molding a bonding aloof
The truth finds his way when you're loose
GOOD TASTE FIT RIGHT TRUTH-aloof
Now if it tastes good and it looks good doesn't mean it's good
And if it sounds good doesn't mean it should be ever good
You see the only good in me is the God in Me
So if I walk away is He still abide in me
If He takes HIS breath away I am no longer alive
nah my true essence I'm a vapor I just went poof
GOOD TASTE FIT RIGHT TRUTH-aloof

She came in my dreams last night,
She left a yellow rose and a love note on pillow next to me,
As always, the inscription read,
'we are friends forever and, in the eternity,'.
Since a rose is a rose,
why the red rose shines in the glory of love?
why the white roses remind us of our departed souls?
and why the yellow rose shines the rays of friendship in all of us?
Like sunshine bursting through grey clouds,
The aura of friendship emanates from its golden petals,
The frozen dew drops on its soft satin petals,
glorifies tears on my cheeks in the times of sadness,
Its mere presence and the fragrance,
fills my heart with the scent of warmth and affection.
Yellow rose you are perfection in creation,
I wonder why you have to wither away in time,
With every falling petal, a heart is broken,
with every withered yellow rose, a token of eternal friendship is lost.

How pleasant, now, to think of times gone by,
Of childhood, youth, of family, and friends.
How strange, at times, to see where mem'ry wends.
How swiftly, now, with age those mem'ries fly.
Like fireflies, some glow brightly, then they die,
While some's incessant glimmer never ends,
And some with which I have not made amends.
Still pleasant, though, to think of times gone by,
And even if the bad outweigh the good,
I wouldn't change one of them if I could.
Each mem'ry's worth its weight in precious gold,
A treasure trove that's mine alone to hold.
Such lovely thoughts that time cannot erase.
Each gilds and glorifies its time and place.

Munajat
Munajat is a type of poem that delivers a message of repentance of sin. This is an Arabic word that’s derived from either yunaji or najawa which means “talking in secret.” This can also be defined as the poem that glorifies God and acts as a way of offering prayer.

I’m sick of wanderin’ o’er the page
In search of distant, mystic sage
muttered manta that confuse
stupefy my stoic muse
torment the silence of the keys
while in the distance Shakespeare flees
to curse his feather blotted ink
his red, red rose now turning pink
yet still I sit behind the veil
challenge him and always fail
there are those who disagree
some say he wasn’t one, but three
conspiring in mock defiance
of poetry’s inane compliance
counting syllables and rhymes
that challenged then, the present times
and yet I steal a line or two
in vain attempt to make it new
to think, somehow, it glorifies
the master when I plagiarize

whistle
in the breeze
love melts in a kiss
blown with the ocean sand
sun glorifies the moment
“deep love sets forever to be”
