Life is God’s gift, precious with wellbeing-zest
Wellness is priceless wealth along health’s best…
Convinced that health is wealth, precious indeed
We aim to stay fit --- our goal of blest creed…
Thus, we have our secured health insurance
Trusting our agents with firm assurance.
Striving for great health toward fulfilled life
We achieve most, vanquishing ailment-strife…
Propelled for functional being aright
Our hearts and souls must reach maximum height…
Thus, we trust our health insurance-license
Midst security-benefits' essence.
Possessing healthy body and sound mind
We are driven, triumphantly-designed…
We can do our tasks with workmanship glow
Joyously smiting sickness, illness’ woe…
Thus, we know our health insurance matters
When during weakness, well-being falters.
We’ll continue with our exercise-ways
Trusting God* that we can win in life’s race…
Practicing self-discipline for good gain
We feast on nutritious diet, sans pain…
Thus, we abide in health insurance laws
Believing in good faith, there are no flaws.
Yes, staying healthy is number one goal
With our faith's fervor, striving to be whole…
We pray to attain with the Lord’s great hand
For such props our daily reaching-out stand.
Thus, we pray for health insurance agents
To do their best as wellness-adherents.
*Romans 15:13 - Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

It wasn't something people understood
The pursuit of justice is mine and I could
I was granted, courage, faith and with strength
To bring closure for crime, time any length
I would sacrifice and work on my own
Through facts to bring it all to be shown
Imagine souls freed by truth and closure
To stop the evil with the exposure
Internally I knew what I must do
Triumphant belief in something so true
Illegal acts would be shown, not hidden
Truth be told, my voice no more forbidden
In the many years I chose to speak
This corruption still grips, ending I seek
Ill to my bones, this always makes me
Though I will never go down silently!

In my meadow the scent of spring ripples in air,
I see the dance of patina on dainty petals of daisy,
unfurling with the touch of dawn’s spectrum,
like your hazel eyes out of the trance of dream.
The flowers blossom in chromatic charisma of joy,
look up to the sunburst pallet of the seamless sky,
the essence is suffused with splendorous sparkle,
painting pristine portrait of your of surreal beauty .
As the satin night showers the silver tinsels,
floating in the mystique miasma of moonbeam,
I descry the sparkling sky descend in my garden,
you shine with sapphire hue as sprouting stars.
The celestial charm of golden glow,
pulsates in my heart with enticing rhythm,
that radiates the luring luster of exultation
from the core of fair petals of your floral face.
Pining for the embrace of your radiant purity
I make my yearning an ornate vase,
place a bunch of blooming buds,
that flower you for me as fresh as a daisy.

In a verdant valley shrouded with mist
there's a bakery no nose can resist
Izzy Lum's plum pies and cherry cream cakes
Taste scrumptious, like all the treats that he bakes
If you follow your nose up I-16
Trees tower and spread, no need for sunscreen
Italian buns and sweet Scottish toffee
Taste so yummy with your Dutch mint coffee
I assure you, from my ninety-nine trips
That Izzy's lime fudge will pucker your lips
Incidentally, what else you will find true
This aroma-blessed town has a great view
Inhale fresh air on the smooth, pristine lakes
Take a lovely stroll as you munch on cakes
Itineraries and trips come and go
Try venturing high and venturing low
Interest and joy of tours and camping
Too often leave you spent, bored and napping
I-16 is the road to elation
To your delicious, fine dream vacation

In the invited place she got precious gift as new guest
After derived back to home it made her unhappy fest
The temple deity was floating on her sight without mist
To forget she exorcised with betel leaf the west to east
She come to her son child and kissed him delightfully
And went to bed with fear thru anger on all silently
Whole night no one come to wish her a peaceful sleeping
After daybreak she got no sunlight on path of greeting
“Married life is not blessings” she cursed life saying this
“If no one replies walk alone” she sang the song in peace
But the biting cold of winter made her mad to coolness
She thought nature is against her also in mocking grace
No tears she wanted to devout to the stone of the deity
At last the gift she sacrificed to the fire of wounded angry

**A lesson offered by the poet in me I've seen,
The lee sides (leeward) of mountains are where the winds parts upwards,
And the warmth of the earthen mound, extends outward becomes trapped,
Within the grasps of escaping winds that lifts, carries its prisoners of air,
As the winds go beyond, the trapped air burst over the mound and holds,
Whispers they are part of the mound and choose to remain for a moment,
The brevity of time, the mound holds its vague strands that hovers tenderly,
Their embrace ingratiates eyes far below, for nature's love is for all to behold.
**last two images of where I live in Hilo, Hawaii of 50k residents and Mauna Kea (White Mountain--'snow capped') firstly clear skies and lastly one with the lenticular cloud above it.
I do pray for a triumphant 2026 with God’s sovereign* performance
overcoming harsh rigors brought by vain arrogance
conquering covetous and greedy endurance
toward gratitude’s praise-filled elegance.
I wish for the prevalence of love and kindness’ working
vanquishing selfishness-wrought wrecking
along paths of righteousness-walking
toward goodness’ trekking.
I dream for the reigning of virtuous holiness
pervading in sharing with graciousness
while enjoying genuine forgiveness
toward serene joyfulness.
I believe in the practice of lawfulness midst legal authority
highlighting truth to defy deceit’s promiscuity
showcasing evidences of factual reality
toward order in the society.
I hope for the vibrant exercise of wise judgements
not aborting babies because of carnal sentiments
but rescuing youth against fleshly defilements
toward exercise of adults’ commitments.
I trust for the championship of concern over practice of oppressions
while confessing faults and pardoning others’ transgressions
repenting from iniquities as well as correcting perversions
toward direction for humanitarian missions.
I foresee victory in executing ordinances for citizens’ right
functionally fulfilling the best without prejudice-blight
rejoicing for everyone’s miraculous delight
toward great 2026 of peaceful light.
*Psalm 103:19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

3rd place, "NEW Rhyming Poem About 2026 - Personal or Universal" Poetry Writing Premiere Contest; Sponsored by Hilo Poet; judged on 12/29/2025
I heard you, a girl of sixteen, giggle and laugh
Though the fast moving time was unpleasant and tough.
Inimitable youthful smile flashed from your heart
Tinted your face crimson, a piece of charming art.
In the air the sound of music wafted I heard
Throbbing your vibrant heart singing as a lovebird.
Immersed within its soft rhythm your sparkling eyes glanced
Torrents of joy in the shadow of eyelids danced.
It is a strange thing, love often grows flying wing
To obscurity it drifts, ditched heart stops to sing.
Insipid smile melts, silent tears begin to flow
The sound of silence I would hear, I did not know.
I froze the tear drop in sixteen year old sad eye
To gleam it with sparkle of joy again, I’d try.
