When all is lost, then
You're dead. If you're still breathing
It's not over. Keep on!
Tie me like Ulysses,
I don’t want
run to death
hearing those songs!
Bind me Lord!
But you keep on singing!
The sins are not yours
for the shores I crave
or the eyes I seek
or the thrills of my restless soul!
I beg you to keep on singing.
Pain refines,
but grace restores.
This is the whisper
of strength.
There are days
when the world feels heavy,
when the echoes of yesterday
press against the walls of today.
You walk forward,
yet the past lingers like a shadow . . .
a silent presence
reminding you
where you’ve been.
But hear this:
You are not bound
by what was.
You are shaped
by your resilience,
by the moments
when you chose to rise,
even when
the weight of it all
begged you
to fall.
Pain has touched you,
but it has not
broken you.
Instead,
it carved wisdom
into your bones,
strength
into your spirit,
and grace
into your steps.
Healing comes.
Whatever storm
you walk through now,
it is not here
to consume you.
It is here
to remind you
of the fire within,
the unwavering light
that refuses to dim.
Rescue comes.
And in this chapter . . .
you choose to rise.
Let these words
settle within you.
Breathe in
strength,
exhale
doubt.
You are seen,
you are heard,
and
you are never alone.
Keep On Digging
How Much Of A Hole
Do You Need To
Initiate Creation,
Again?
Mr. Singularity?
Enough For 1.

We were partying
Drinking and smoking
Laughing to the jokes, a friend was telling
While some were dancing
Suddenly he choked, as he was laughing
He started coughing heavily.
Another was laughing
Thinking it's a joke
As he drag the smoke, he also choked
Now we have two victims, I hope they break the yoke
They keep on coughing, heavily with all eyes absolutely red.
They broke the party
Into two different parts
Some were trying to help them recover
While others were busy dancing
They were unaware
The music is so loud and lovely
Then I choked
While Shouting for attention, a support.
The hopes and dreams of many
Are only realized by a few
Yet the hopes and dreams of any
Has a hope to be realized too
Take away your worries,
Run to the waves of change,
But keep on going
As you help the world go round.
I keep on moving
In the right direction
In my life
I need lots of people
In my life
I am always afraid
To end up alone
Every day
I understand that
Sometimes we need
A break from each other
I find life in general to be
Precious for me
Also I never gamble with my life
Because I have no right
To do that
I appreciate living the life
My Father gave to me
"Yesterday sometimes is a comfortable sofa where we want to be lazy, instead to keep on cycling on the given road". -by author
A time machine has not been invented yet, it would be nice.Very often we search in the drawers for our past, photos, letters, school mates and we even, don't know what.Time to time, we know what it is feeling blue, especially when we grow older and we remember about our best years. Who never looked for the best moments of their lives?.
Yes, I did. As the most of the human beings.
Good to remember where we belong to, without forgetting that we still have part of our life ready to be explored.
Never forget that while the moon
switches its light off, the sun will switches it on again.
A time machine to travel to yesterday
is all in your mind.
For a man of my age, I should no longer dream
Of pretty young fillies, quite naughty it seems
But we don't lose the joy to gawk and to stare
When the sweet scent of female fills up the air
Sure hope I don't lose it, this wonderful feeling
While sneakily snatching looks that I am stealing
Girls are aware of the scene they're creating
Of many great memories this sight is relating
The happiest times when we all were much younger
These precious memories haven't lost their thunder
When seeing an old codger hardly able to walk
Still straining his eyes, to stare and to gawk
That primordial instinct is never far away
It still hangs around till our very last day
So all my buckaroonies please do take heart
At one hundred years old it can still joy impart
Trust me I'm honest as the day is long
Life still keeps singing its same old sweet song
Obsessed... I guess you could say that I am
Gonna keep on a-gawking for as long as I can
Your world as you know it
can suddenly change overnight
So you rise the next day
to begin your fight
You keep on moving
There really is no other way
Your broken heart aches
a tired soul longs for rest
But yet you give all you have left
just to do your best
You keep on moving
Hoping tomorrow is a brighter day
You give it your all
even when you want to give up
Yet you constantly manage
to pour from an empty cup
You keep on moving
I admire the fact you do it day after day
You will sometimes think
that's it ive had enough
Just you remember though
it won't always be this tough
You keep on moving
Sending hope and strength directly your way
If at times you feel you want to cry,
And life seems such a trial.
Above the clouds there's a bright blue sky,
So make your tears a smile.
As you travel on life's way,
with it's many ups and downs.
Remember it's quite true to say;
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
Among the world's expensive things,
A smile is very cheap.
And when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep.
Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unhidden.
And sometimes a few tears must fall;
Among the laughter hidden.
So when friends wear sadness on their face
And trouble is piled around them,
The world will seem a better place
And all because of your smile.
To be sung to the tune of Mother Goose: Are you Sleeping*
Keep on praying!
Keep on praying!
My dear boy…
My dear girl…
God will surely answer
God will surely answer---
Let’s trust Him
Let’s trust Him.
Keep on praising
Keep on praising
Our Lord God
Our Lord God…
He’s the Source of blessing
He’s the Source of blessing---
Let’s thank** Him
Let’s thank Him.
**1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Reflected in the raindrop, there is hope
For sunshine’s gentle approach
Echoing from the wind’s song, there is love
Erasing all the dewlike tears with silent
Whispers of laughter’s message
Between the gentle and the kindness
Exposed by the stardust memories, there is forever
Discouraging the darkness, the pain, the fear
With grace that doesn’t compare – it is so real
Never without the sigh of dreams breathing joy
Peace that is like quiet rain, resurrecting calm –
Inspiring real hope on the limbs of lasting psalms
In the light, where her smile finds the time
To begin again, after the fear – to believe in Him,
The reason I’m here, because HE IS NEAR
I know the meaning of believing, the grace so tender,
The beauty in knowing that, through faith
I can see Him, be with Him… eternally alive in heaven!
On and on… Praising Him with my faith in Him
Walk along the right path, walk it with care,
Don't rush, don't worry, eventually you'll get there.
If you should ever fall, get back on track,
Keep looking forward, do not look back.
Stay on that path, although it may seem rough,
You can prevail, remember you are tough.
So long as we learn from past mistakes,
And continue to do whatever it takes.
We are Not alone in our walk, not at all,
God is watching over us, and he will catch you if you fall.
If we do fall, we'll get up and continue on our way,
And walk the path steadily each and every day.
