This box sits on the windowsill
And few stop to open it
And look inside at the trinkets
That I placed so very neatly
My box sits waiting
But those who pass see no value inside of it
And the ones who open it take the brightest baublez
And leave dried leaves in their place
Our box was closed
Only opening for the very best memories
But then I see I am the one opening it
Not that traveler that promised me more
What box is this?
That hurts me
And has scratches
And hurts itself
But I'm still leaving it out hoping a wind of change blows
And I hope you
Kind and warm passerby
Will help me open it once more
To love God* above all is our mission
That’s to esteem Him with pure heart’s passion
Seeking Him ceaselessly through His direction
Yielding our lives to Him along joyful dedication.
To fear the Lord with reverence is truly vital
We do so for wisdom-gaining, spiritually fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us to His blessings in their grand total.
To trust God’s Word is principle we cherish
As our faith stands midst philosophies that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In Christ’s confidence He does readily furnish.
To stay in His will always is what we must remember
For that’s the best choice we have as saved by our Redeemer
We’ll abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He planted us in His grace and power.
To flee from worldly influences is our firm conviction daily
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation earnestly
As we walk through the Holy Spirit’s might diligently
While in His fellowship we bring our petitions sincerely.
To follow godly instruction is our commitment
Obeying His commands gives us sense of fulfillment
Reaching His standards sets our heavenly attainment
Pleasing Him in our soulwinning assignment.
To serve God, working with joy is surely exciting
While depending fully on His presence that’s uplifting
We strive to be His stewards, humble for His instructing
Since labouring for Him is a great privilege worth appreciating.
*Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Time casts a heavy glow
On the world I left behind,
Transfixed on a new tomorrow,
All the new seeds I’ll sow.
Emerging is a new day,
How the light blinds my eyes.
Focus on the bright cascade
Of this everlasting rise.
Beneath the earth is trembling,
My footsteps unsure and numb.
The silence almost deafening—
I can almost hear Hope hum.
A quick glance back behind me
At the thralldom left behind,
Hope continues to remind me
Of all I’m rising from.
The dawn unfolds before me,
A light I’ve never known.
Each step is one small victory,
In this light I call my own.
A gentle breeze enfolds me,
Countless paths untrod.
With open arms, I gather
The dreams I once thought flawed.
S –haring goodness of God while His serenity spreading
P –roduces joy as peace from the Lord keeps on pervading…
R –evival prevails and restoration reigns with reassurance
E –arnestly cheering hearts along encouragement-endurance…
A –ffirming friendship bonds around fellowship agreement
D –elighting others for harmonious relationship-development…
I -nstilling kindness rippling toward inspiration-venture
N –ourishing spirit that breeds sincere helpfulness nurture
G –earing up every one toward generous giving-sharing gesture.
H –ere am I, striving to be a spreader of God-granted happiness*
A –biding in His presence while exuding bliss with assertiveness…
P –rayerfully showing the Lord's love through Gospel proclamation
P –ropelled by hope overcoming trials with faith’s progression…
I –nspiring others, treating all with respect and cordial interest
N –odding for agreements midst smile, becoming a blessing nest…
E –ver-rejoicing in truth while teaching along mercy endearment
S –ecuring fellows for eternal safety in the Saviour’s solacement
S –urely letting Christ’s peaceful joy reach neighbor’s settlement.
*Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

Easter time for so many is real fun
well so many think that's so
the real true meaning has got lost
among the choc eggs on the show
To me Easter reminds me of a man
who lived in Israel 2000 years ago
he was human but claimed to be God
having twin natures fully to grow
Despite the good that he displayed
the ordinary man's understanding of him
was zero because of his original sin
having minds that were somewhat dim
This man was Jesus the son of God
who mankind wanted to be dead
so on Calvary's cross was crucified
the one who was the living bread
But after three days in the grave
this Jesus arose in risen power
showing victory over death no less
this indeed was God's finest hour
The power of Christ overcame death
being the true Easter message to me
showing that one day I'll rise from death
in Christ's power face to face Jesus I'll see
Keeping God-search simple is wondrous indeed
Empowered by the Holy Spirit midst Scriptural creed
Established upon faith's seed that meets spiritual need
Peacefully settled for gracious and lovingkindness' breed
Illumined by caring and sharing functional deed
Nourished to do best, conquering selfish greed
Guided to live well upon temperance; against gloom---verily freed.
God reveals Himself with His goodness' nurture
Openly exposing His attributes as we exercise trust along prayerful posture
Delighted to manifest His virtues to let us see His marvellous gesture.
Searching God is staying in His divine will against pride's height
Expecting for His direction that is always right
Acknowledging His presence around His fellowship day and night
Resting in His mercy, miracle and might
Championing with winning attitude along prayer-flight
Hoping for His answers while overcoming weakness-blight.
Simply, my being leans on the Almighty Who knows what is best
Inclining to His wisdom, my mind reaches victory's crest
Meditating on His truth, I surpass deception and falsity's test
Persisting in His fellowship's nest, I feel so blest
Learning from His compassion's breast, my soul soars upward service-zest
Engaging in His ministry, my life becomes fulfilled to the fullest.
Didactic in Acrostic and Rhyme forms
Another week of horror…
of terror…
of uncertainty
and again we meet in a park at night to bemoan a tragedy.
People came together…looking for encouragement and relief.
People of different faiths,
different backgrounds
and beliefs.
As different people prayed to their God…
among the crowd there was no dissension
everybody listened…
and accepted…
everybody paid attention.
For no matter what faith was present…
no matter what God they may have named…
or if they didn’t believe in God at all…
their message was the same.
In the end everybody lit a candle…
and held it in the air
proving love is universal…
proving love is to be shared.
and then we all departed
taking different paths into the night
our darkness beginning to be driven out
by a little spot of light.
New song.
Let's be the Good we want to see in the World.
Note: "Kill" in this song is a metaphor for overcoming the Dark. No actual murder is being advocated.
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
By Michelle Morris

I built you up
Like a Devil in my mind
All your unkind words and deeds
A Darkness that you seem to find
And as much as I'm an Angel
There's only so much I can take
I still have a human side
My Heart is close to breaking
I know it's time to leave this place
To take on a different Path
Because I deserve a better one
Where Heaven heals my Heart
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go
Every time you choose the Darkness
The World gets less Glow
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness
Your Soul is closer to burning
You don't want to know it
That I see right into you
Your Soul is like a book I read
It's always revealing your Dark Truths
I wish you could see it clearer
I wish you could understand
Raise your vibration and be enlightened
Become a better man
As I walk away in Peace
Leaving Forgiveness in my wake
I'll take every single Lesson
And learn from my mistakes
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go
Every time you choose the Darkness
The World gets less Glow
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness
Your Soul is closer to burning
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
And round and round we go
Every time you choose the Darkness
The World gets less Glow
Kill the Devil; hug the Angel
It's time for you to learn
Every time you choose the Darkness
Your Soul is closer to burning

accompanying playing living
talking indeed with expressing words
if only in words unspoken may be
touches mind first positively or negatively
if liking rests upon the words of choice
interest paves the ways accordingly with such strength
gradually enter into the deep of that mind
after some time or days wave starts in the sight of loving mind
Unknowingly likings overflow into the mind
at the next step waiting heart is touched
in the same way after overcoming the lovely heart
reaches the abode of Soul..... real love only.....................
