In childhood me a tiny timid mouse,
paying unimportant role at house.
Day by day personality arouse.
Dreamed to grow up as mountain.
Circumstances didn’t entertain
Yet dormant desires sustained.
Confronted and never gave up !
Always tried to rise above,
to access success as deserved.
Struggled with several conflicts.,
being rustic or sophistic
as needed on principle strict.
Tried and tried as I met failure.
Met challenges, not to endure.
Sporty spirit : Soul pristine pure.
Always worked hard in broad spectrum.
Seeking satisfaction and charm,
since mountain turned stable and firm.
When love strays, no one knows why it turns
you're caught off guard, with a heart that burns
left with a dry mouth, and a mind that's numb
with no strength to cry out, your pain is mum
Yesterday you felt loved, he was the only thing on your mind
then, you were so sure he was your godsend, such a rare find
yet today you look for answers, answers for the grief you bare
making a vow to yourself, never again to fall in love, you swear
As time passes memories fade, wounds have begun to mend
going out with your friends, once again looking for a boyfriend
this endless cycle continues, maybe there will not be an end
adolescent years with many challenges, never to comprehend
There comes a point in your youth, when happiness you will finally seek
a happiness you now understand, not surrounded by the false mystique
love will not be found by searching for it, it's something that must find you
finally coming to realize, your eyes will only mislead you to a love untrue
Coming to this truth, you acknowledge there is something you need
if you want to find true happiness, and if you really want to succeed
here is the one truth for you to know, the power for this happiness is from above
G-d alone weaves the circumstances, joining two beings with happiness and love
Don't look for consolation to life's disappointments in an illusionary, temporary escape
and do not become content, in the unsafe harbour of your mind's imaginary landscape
joy and happiness and true love in your life, G-d will most certainly cause you to find
perhaps just maybe then you'll understand, why true love must necessarily be blind
To My Brother on His Birthday
You’ve been to me a brother and a friend
A great support and comfort through the years
The sadness of my life with joy you blend
And when I cry, you help to wipe the tears
To childlike eyes you were the hero great
I stood amazed at strength and boyish skill
As King and Queen we played to challenge fate
Our little games, a source of wondrous thrill
You made me want to be the very best
To rise above the challenges of life
The bar you raised and helped me pass the test
And made me thrive despite the inner strife
Much more than brother, dear, you are to me
You are a source of strength and constancy

My brother, Armond, is four years older than I am. It's his birthday today, and I wrote a little sonnet in his honor. He wrote a lovely poem for me on my fortieth, which is framed and hanging on my wall. I can't describe the source of inspiration that Armond is to me. He is an intellectual giant. He has his doctorate in Accounting from the University of Calgary. He is a fantastic teacher. Everything he sets his mind on doing, he can do. I've lived in his shadow in more ways than one! ;) He plays the piano better than I do...when he joined my French class, he outdid me. He's just amazing. Recently, he attended my MA thesis defense and just knowing he was there gave me courage. :) He has always been there to help me with my struggles, and I'm truly blessed to have him in my life. :)
If there's frost on your noodle, don't despair
It's a sign of genius if you've got grey hair
But the experts say when the colour takes flight
Intelligence doesn't just happen overnight
It takes years and years of bumps and grinds
So make sure you don't get left behind
To survive in this crazy and wacky old world
Ya gotta be ready for whatever gets hurled
Grey hair says intelligence between the ears
Achieving great wisdom throughout the years
A scholarly person you've turned out to be
Now if only your kiddies could also see
That parents are not just a couple dolts
May even be smarter than a lot of young colts
Who may know computers and all that stuff
That's not all there is, it's not quite enough
To be able to deal with the challenges of life
One needs the smarts to deal with strife
For everyday problems that are bound to arise
Facing head on life's every surprise
Don't be embarrassed by frost on you noodle
You've got the whole kit and caboodle
Acquiring great knowledge throughout the years
With loads of laughter and many tears

I'm just getting started to face this new adventure
To roll through the changes, release my fears to the wind
Also, to conquer something inside fighting my body
As it would like to be my enemy, so I must be a friend
I will gather all my strength to rise above these challenges
I will spread my wings to fly free, as I soar the open skies
I will land where I choose and take in every beautiful view
One by one, healing me to the end of colorful rainbows
I will find love in a pot of gold waiting and then I will speak
The words meant to be heard from my journey of survival
My soul will open like a rose with thorns to protect me
Blooming to the fullest of a life thriving from true faith
Fulfilled by a purpose that is mine, meant to reach others
Then, I will sing and I will say once again, thank you God!

June 5 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Job 14-16
Key Verse – Job 14:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
HEART THAT HEARS THE WISDOM OF GOD
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His grace
With our eternal redemption in running life’s race
Since He strengthens us through HIs might’s brace
Never failing to help us midst afflictions’ trace.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His holiness
With our salvation-propped faith to walk along His righteousness
Since He sanctifies us by His truthfulness
Never abandoning us to wallow in sinfulness.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His deliverance
With our heaven-bound future propelled by His assurance
Since He upholds us to stay courageous despite fear’s appearance
Never forsaking us to face challenges alone through His forbearance.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His preservation
With our ransomed soul rejoicing in His granted regeneration
Since He keeps us around His will’s protection
Never neglecting us to suffer grievous persecution.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His leadership
With our blissful spirit to be fruitful in our stewardship
Since He guides us around His fellowship
Never hurting us to lament in loneliness offered by worldly friendship.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His reproving
With our biblical conviction that honours His standards’ paving
Since He teaches us principles worth-having
Never insulting us to lose confidence in all-out sacrificial giving.
Our heart hears the wisdom of God amidst His mercy
With our sincere repentance against laxity and leniency
Since He disciplines us along His Scriptural counsel’s fervency
Never condoning us, but admonishing us for virtuous service-persistency.

One love
One true love
Through all of life's storms
Through sad times
Through happy times
Our path may be strewn
With obstacles
But the bottom line
Is triumph in the end
Ability to look back and say
All things considered
It couldn't have been better
Love will always carry us through
It's what makes us tick
It's food for our soul
A reason to go on
In spite of the challenges
For when that special someone
Turns to you and says
You are my one love
My one and only love
It's music to our ears
Worth more than all the world's riches
More than life itself
Life finally has meaning
When you feel that love
That one true love
© Jack Ellison 2015
The writer in me wants you to know
Challenges in life causes one to grow
The hurt and shame one will endure
Can cause vision to become obscure
Not settling for the prostrate position
Overcoming was achieved; I identified the condition
Of low self-esteem and all it entails
Had my mind messed up ‘cause I thought I failed
Failed to be what he wanted and desired
When looking back, I realize he conspired
To belittle me and keep me down
But here I am today with a re-positioned crown
No longer a prisoner of his demands
I took matters within so I could stand
On my own two feet I had to show
Challenges in life causes one to grow
~ Ms. Affection - August 3, 2021
He walks by day the northern woods
He seeks by night the skies
He sees in stars a face he knows
And one he knows no more
He plumbs with vague suspicion
The abyss of his soul
And calculates the irony
Of what he does not know
He is at war, he is at peace
He is beyond the pale
A portrait of a modern man
At manhood’s tender age
Who knows of no restrictions
Nor limits understood
Yet knows the truths that must be told
To beggars, and the proud –
Accommodating challenges
Summoned from within
He looks beyond the you and me
For where he wants to be
And walks by day the northern woods
And seeks by night the skies
To find in stars a man he knows
And one he knows no more
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 of the King James Bible
Expedition toward heavenly adventure... beyond
Xanadu pursuits marked by sublime spirituality
Propels our souls for faith-soaring endeavors
Exalting God while reaching-out to others
Despite difficulties, trials and challenges
Inspired by the Saviour Who is the way..
Transcending earthly, selfish ambition
Instructed by infallible truth precepts
Optimizing grace along mercy
Now ready to reach goal!
Expedition still on the go
Xenacious will of mine keeps on
Praying to the Lord for great victory
Empowered for service by divine grace
Desirous, determined, devoted, dedicated
Imparted with Gospel seed for new-creation bloom
Triumphant midst faithful stewardship and discipleship
Illumined by the Holy Spirit toward worshipful adoration
Openly accepting admonitions and reproofs for virtuous glow
Nurtured while nourished to become a blessing with eternity in view!
