The events of 2020 brought new challenges
Changed the way we live, created new chances
Helped us preview our attitudes and perceptions
So we can review and reset our goals and aspirations
The world was thrown into a new reality
Was forced to accept a new ideality
Remote works became our new norm
The global space in solemn mum
Excite not thyself about the new year
It is just another day on the calendar year
Every day is a new year
And every year is a new day
It is the evidence of passage of time
Time passes and it's not regulated by time
Brush away old heartaches
For a new dawn awakes
Happy New Year friends on poetrysoup
With head high and lifted up,
Saturated with ambitions,
Impregnated with goals,
You reach for the stars
And long to go far.
With plans in hand,
You climb the grandstands,
Only to fine locked windows
And closed doors.
"Not to worry", said I;
"Never look back", said I;
"Don't quit, said I;
"Keep rising", said I.
You say to yourself,
"My fortunes are
Just over the horizons,
Where the rain meets
The rays of the sun
And rainbows are born".
Although no gold at its end
Will ever be found there,
The missing link of yourself
And The Lord Himself will be there
Waiting just for you.
When you find YOU;
When you find GOD,
You will understand all in life
That you are going through.

When my heart allows God’s love to prevail
while exuding kindness so blest
smiting selfishness
conquering greed and envy…
…then care's radiance glows bright.
As my soul seeks for divine grace
always vibrant despite gloom of fear
to vanquish despair
triumphing over worry…
…then faith champions prayer-wonders.
Since my spirit thrives midst hope
to soothe anguish and ache of guilt
freeing mind from frustration-failure
to bring joy with pardon bliss…
…then courage serves as inspiration that cheers.
While my commitment for good works* abounds
as the Lord’s mercy shines with delight
toward grateful exuberance
showcasing worshipful praise…
...then devotion to reach-out keeps on despite limitations.
Whenever my well-being continues to consider others' welfare
while aware of human nature blight
acknowledging own faults and mistakes
toward personal growth along transformation-progress...
...then fulfillment of victorious existence testifies dependence upon the Creator.
*1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Few witnesses to your young private tears at the age of ten
Why me Why me
No amount of hugs or consolation could provide a reason or answer
I know if I had been there
My heart too would have shattered in a million pieces
Your brother never forgot those Why me tears in the night
Going through unthinkable ordeal foreign to any of us
So young Why me indeed
Years toughened you up till you traded those tears for strength
And people would ask why you were always so lucky
I think it started off with those Why me tears
Then Lady Luck came along to compensate
Thank goodness you were surrounded with love and pampering
You pulled through and knew you could make the most of it
You bit into this crazy world as you would into a juicy red apple
Why me became why not me
And you didn’t let anything stop you
You had a million dreams
You had goals and they were all out there for the taking
And you went for it You went for it all
And I loved you all the more for it

You could say Life is just
the choices that we made,
You might cry, laugh,
get mad as the memories fade.
Sometimes it happens so fast
it is not quick to show,
Then some little thing happens,
and you just know.
It felt like it was going to be
the Death of me,
But to my surprise
a spiritual awakening to set me free.
I set some boundaries
and achieved some healthy goals,
I'm broken and shattered,
and my heart has a hole.
An awakening of the spirit,
mind, soul and heart,
Together was hard,
it's better that were apart.
I have never needed
a hand to hold,
Most people are not worth
their weight in gold.
A lesson to be learned
I do declare,
A warning
that I might share.
You humble yourself
and you muddle thru,
You did us a favor
and I thank you.

Do you have something that you save for tomorrow?
A set of dishes, a favorite attire?
In my case, a mixer lol
You are going to laugh when I tell you this
I bought that mixer two, three years ago
Thinking I would use it when I get married
as I would cook then
You know that thing's been sitting in my garage
on a shelf - still hasn't been opened
We all have something like that
save for tomorrow
We don't enjoy it today
What about that trip you meant to take?
Did you go?
Or you are going to wait
till you have the time, the fund, or whatever?
You are going to wait a long time, my friend
as things tend to happen only when we want it
What about that beachfront property you've wanted?
What are you doing today to make it happen?
Live for tomorrow but have it today
Don't let a day go by that you don't do something for someone
Work toward your goals
Plant, grow
Live, give
See yourself how you want to be
God will help you get there
Think of tomorrow
Plan for it today
Briana it's so hard to think, you were so young.
Grown up, a young lady now, where has the time gone?
Your Success, allowed you to fly around the world.
So beautiful and smart, an Executive girl.
Climbing up the ladder you met all your goals, Yes!
You're at the top one percent, you're one of the best!
A humble person you are, you would never brag.
So forgive me for sharing your life, enough said.
Today is your birthday, the first day of Winter.
We send Feliz Cumpleanos, Wishing for her.
First, Judy, Rusty the Kitty, Tavi G, Gaston, Ashley, Taylor, Jordan and I sing.
Happy, Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy birthday Dear Briana.
Happy birthday to you!
May all your wishes come true.
Succeed, in all you do,
and may the Good Lord keep blessing You.
Happy Birthday Dearest Briana.
From all of us who love you.

Spanish Phrase
meaning happy
birthday...
sapphire view port ...
the ocean of stars glistened
like a million sun sprites on the sea
yet the sea was not near as cold ... or deep
and despite it's bounty
its mysteries were not remotely as compelling
the Universe had tugged at his heart
since his earliest memories
and now far-space exploration was a reality
his wildest dreams come to fruition
and HE was at the helm ...
all it required was a push of the 'ignition' button
and yet he couldn't find the will ...
for everything he loved - everyONE -
was here, on Earth ...
and due to the sacrifices of inter-stellar travel
(and the bending of the continuum)
they would be long-dead when he returned
there was no turning back
many others depended on him
and the success of this mission and its goals
too much money had been spent
far too much sacrificed to change it all now
and still ... he could not press the button
little eyes shined in his mind
little eyes that wept as little hearts broke
when they said goodbye to him ...
and how his heart ached for their mother
all they'd been through together
the moonlit nights and daylight laughs and crazy trips
but this was his dream
the dream of all humanity, really
and all that he had worked for, for so very long
he could NOT back down, not now
that's why he'd been chosen - his character ... his resolve
his dedication to the project
and yet ... the button sat untouched
the pad remained uncharred
no rumble of the engines
no roar of the fuel ignited
his finger trembling over the red switch ...
as the world ...
held its collective breath.

New Year
The snow is here
An extra chill
Besets my brain
With all that will..
For me the time of year is blue
As tinsel gold is rolled
With frosty pages, white and new.
And all the thoughts of what has passed
Amassed in my tiny head
Need clearing..
As we are now New Yearing
Despite the things we left unsaid
The warmth of Summer sun's broad smile
Keeps me hopeful
And all the while
My throat is full
Of words I want to cry
But fall shy of the courage to risk it
As I may appear morose
Or less optimistic
The truth is this;
There are many like me
Walking through Winter's bleakness
And feeling far less jolly
In our lockdown-town
With it's political frown
And the long-flowing gown
Of the media spree
So..
Let's band together,
Oh women and men of the snow
And celebrate wilderness
While there's nowhere to go
We can reset our smiles
From black heartless coals
And begin to remember our hopes,
Dreams and goals.
Though the wintery vibe in our hearts has us gripped
That new story ahead means old news
Can be ripped.. and replaced
So..
Grab you a pen, a keyboard, a quill
And begin that new story
Or poem, to thrill
For the world needs your words and your thoughts
And be thankful..
It will
And may Winter soon pass for you..
Into warmness
From chill.

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" Philippians 4:13
When life's treacherous trek becomes more than I can bear,
And it seems there is no deliverance from my deep despair,
I repeat these words of reassurance that will relieve my woe:
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
When I'm assailed from all sides with hopeless situations,
I know that He will listen to my earnest supplications,
And give me courage to triumph o'er challenges here below:
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
When loved ones pass and it seems more than can be endured,
With His compassionate embrace and love, I am reassured.
His peace and understanding upon me He will e'er bestow:
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
When I am faced with seemingly insurmountable goals,
And my dreams and aspirations are dashed upon desolate shoals,
With these comforting words I can conquer any foe:
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
When I encounter the many trials and tribulations of life,
I turn to the One who can ease my stress and strife,
Placing my trust and faith in Him from who all graces flow:
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength", I know!
