Exultant joyous voices
magnify the God of glory
Triumphant midst sustained
hymns of Gospel story
Radiant countenance of church singers*
vanquishes misery…
Jubilant choir members** are they
enraptured with divine victory.
Greatness of the Lord reverberates
along their songs of praise
Kindness from heaven they declare,
devoid of flat notes’ trace
Blissfulness reigns in their medley,
championing mercy and grace…
Faithfulness exuded by Christ anchors
their music ministry commitment-brace.
Exalted is the loving Saviour
in their thanksgiving chorale rendition
Spirited worship marks melodious notes
sung upon faith expression
Delighted souls are drawn
toward joyously earnest adoration…
Granted service-blessings
blend with their harmony’s perfection.
*2Chronicles 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; ... saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD.
**Choir Members of the Christian Bible Baptist Church, San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines

The dark holds of ships cast by shackles' cruel embrace,
Lies the tale of inhumanity's grim trace.
From yonder shores, stolen lives in chains,
Where anguish reigns, a heart's bitter pains.
Bound by masters' callous hands, they weep,
Their spirits bruised, their dreams buried deep.
Oh, slavery's mark, a stain on mankind's soul,
A chapter of history we can never console.
For in the fields, beneath the scorching sun,
Their bodies toil, a battle never won.
Silent cries echo through the darkest night,
Each tear shed, a beacon of shattered light.
The auction blocks, where humanity is sold,
Trading flesh and dreams, a story untold.
Families torn asunder, hearts torn apart,
A cruel symphony, played with no remorseful heart.
But from the ashes of oppression's cruel game,
Resilience rises, igniting freedom's flame.
Harriet's whispers guide through perilous flight,
As heroes emerge, championing what's right.
In humanity's journey, we confront the past,
To forge a future where equality will last.
The scars of slavery still etched in our soul,
A reminder to heal, strive for a world made whole.
Let justice reign, in every heart and land,
United, we stand, and firmly we demand,
An end to the chains that bind and divide,
For in our unity, humanity shall reside.
Outside the storm is raging, heaping piles of drifting snow.
Inside I'm snuggled in my easy chair, the fireplace all aglow!
I've retrieved an old tome of poetry from my library shelf,
To spend an afternoon with noted bards to entertain myself.
I'll never tire of the lovely lyrics leaping from its pages,
Composed by inspirational poets down through the ages.
Those gifted folks awaken latent emotions in my languid soul,
Creating soul-stirring verse about life that they so fluently extol!
I delight in the lines championing ordinary folks by Edgar Guest,
And the ballads of Robert Service on his daring Yukon quest!
The works of The Hoosier Poet J. Whitcomb Riley I hold dear.
It's as if he wrote about my Hoosier boyhood of yesteryear!
The fire casts gloomy shadows about as I read Poe's elegies,
But my mood brightens reading Kilmer's beautiful poem, "Trees!"
McCrae's, "In Flanders Fields", as a lad I learned by rote.
I chuckle at the whimsical poetry that Lewis Carroll wrote!
I treasure my time with the bards and their poems in the book.
It occupies a very special place in my library nook.
Well, I'll put it aside since the cat has hopped upon my lap.
Dear old Simba and I will settle in for a cozy winter's nap!

May I bestow upon you my attitude:
exemplifying meekness purity
championing benevolence-sweetness
verily epitomized by Christ
Who is “the Lamb of God*.”
Cognizant of the phrase, “sacrificial lamb”
you are well-informed of my gentleness
which means, yielding with total surrender to a good cause…
such I endow unto you, since you've already
laid yourself upon the altar of full-time service to God.
By this virtue, keep following
the good Shepherd*
be submissive as He leads you
toward abundant green pastures
and ushers you to refreshing clear waters.
With this sheep-attribute granted to you
keep discerning the good Shepherd’s voice...
your delight and yearning to stay close to Him
as well as your compliance of willing obedience
will surely safeguard you inside sheepfold’s warm haven.
Now, be gripped by this characteristic
strengthened with your faith in the Almighty
anchored upon your soul’s steadfast trust in His truth
while being a blessing to others
as I, the sheep, do wondrously fulfill.
*John 1:36 “…Behold the Lamb of God!
**Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Join me linger in this sublime paradise
wafting breeze of serenity's freshness
breathed out by life-scented leaves
unaffected against ecologically-afflicting virus
while all the birds of the earth sing* now the triumph of Eden …
Let's replenish ourselves around divinely-blessed pastures
welcoming with provisions’ abundance
along birds serenading with healing victory songs
in their reverberating symphony, melodiously soothing
offering respite away from stressful pandemic angst…
Never should we resist promised land’s invitation
where all the birds of the earth sing now their peace-conquering hymn
as the lion and the lamb portray sweet friendship
midst fellow animals in partnership-bliss
exemplifying peace and restoration delight…
We yield ourselves by faith to Almighty God
whose gracious omnipotence prevails to grant our plea
of shielding His people against apathy’s destruction
ending hatred virulence under His compassionate rule, championing love
which all the birds harmoniously echo in their splendid choral rendition.
*Isaiah 49:13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

Marked with awesome color-change radiance
Autumn showcases marvelous wonders
Designed by great God*, devoid of blunders
Exposing great nature’s glorious brilliance.
Midst phenomenon that’s iridescent
Fall’s beauty shines in every hue’s detail
Seen through foliage so magnificent
As glowing leaves of magenta prevail.
Boughs in crimson, scarlet, orange do blend
Championing divine artistic delight
Marked by show of russet or auburn trend.
Declaring blest autumnal glowing might
*Psalms 95:3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

Just like the lake of melting wax, on a candle gives off light,
Life is not about championing the selfish, golden prize!
Hopefully, I stay thankful with all my earthy might.
And, pray that I may one day, be welcome to Paradise.
I know how circuitous and bizarre life can be on this earth.
There are bright poet-angels on this firmament to support you.
But you, poets, know how cherished you were since birth.
Through at time..others are so disingenuously untrue!
From me comes deepest, soul-aqueous blue, appreciation
Blessed by waterfall. lessons on life, I studiously learned.
Transformations, not spigots of information.
And I know, you each will get all you truly deserved.
Letting go …
such is optimistic response to an inevitability
turning blues toward radiant hues
while creating goodness of vibrancy
transforming frustration toward goodness glow.
Letting go …
such is welcoming with awesome anticipation
freedom of jubilant engagement
with life’s reality along sweet blissfulness
bringing joyous consequence.
Letting go …
such is focusing to another perspective
midst prayerful paradigm shift
smiting skepticism gripped by doubt
while championing trust in the Sovereign Lord.
Letting go…
such is viewing with faith an accident
midst learning circumspectly along discretion
that those I hold tight with grip so ardent
may break me, leaving deep hurt.
Letting go…
such makes me thank God Who knows what is best
since nothing slips from His hand
as He holds me within His love
protected within His mighty fortress*.
Letting go…
such leads me toward pressing on
bouncing forward against delusion
while reaching-out midst serene hope
spreading kindness by grace divine.
*Psalms 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”

Fascinated with butterflies
midst their freedom-flight…
dear child*, secured in his wheel chair
delightfully grips yellow crayon
along creativity challenge
to pursue artwork bout
while struggling against spastic restlessness...
Soon with glee-filled countenance
championing his thumbs-up trademark
devoid of bashful gesture
he shows a masterpiece:
oh, glowing butterfly
radiant in yellow
he has painstakingly colored…
Witnessing his gracious achievement
of gradual milestones
I'm thankful* for God-wrought remarkable changes
notable indications that he is “educable”
thus, not “progressing toward retrogression”
as diagnosed by his pediatrician
more than a decade ago...
Yes, I’m beholding actual metamorphosis
toward joyous fulfillment…
so with faith in the Sovereign’s miracle
I envision our boy in his functional zest
like a butterfly that has surmounted
infantile epilepsy --- now becoming triumphant
over “global developmental delay.”
*Today, July 24, 2026, the child in our church orphanage is now 17 years old.
** 1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you..
