My dear fellow care givers and teachers of special kids,
May I share with you my dream --- so therapeutic and liberating...
only God's miraculous power can turn into reality.
By the grace of the Lord, let us imagine ourselves joining our kids
in their freedom-bound realm... blissful, blessed and braced-up
by bestowed love-benefits they can share with their optimum functionality.
This special avenue is inviting us and our children toward exuberant exploration, experience and exposure!!!
Welcome to my newly-paved avenue
Wondrously designed for special children
Wheeling themselves toward zestful freedom
Wanting to zoom around park without bars.
Wisdom leads learners through my avenue
Welcoming them to explore against fear
Wishing guardians with courage to let go
Wake-up toward functional advancement.
Worthy enjoyment marks my avenue
Wasting no time wandering around naught
“Whys???” receive answers warming hearts
Winning against doubts, fears by faith* in God.
It's with jubilant, triumphant and vibrant spirit that I am with you
in helping bring out the best from our children, surmounting
difficulties, disabilities, and despair --- by the grace of the Lord!!!
Dramatic Monologue with personification and alliteration along blank verse.
*1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Bouncing from frustration’s grim aftermath
My faith ascends to withstand, cope and face
Praising God for bestowed triumphant* grace
As brave warrior surmounting failure’s wrath.
Recovering from well-being's distress
Amidst hypertension diagnosis
My heart shines for radiant prognosis
Cleaving to Christ, my Lord, the great fortress.
Blest with hope, propped by enlightenment-gain
My soul prevails to learn from wisdom’s wealth
Treasuring eternal lessons of divine health
To share bliss, love, and peace, never in vain.
Propped for inevitable storm's arrival
My will marches on steadfastly fervent
Trusting the Lord Who controls each event
Victorious still, beyond mere survival.
Grateful to overcome personal battles
While reaching-out to those in pain with care
My spirit remains joyous against despair
Braced by the Saviour, vanquishing rattles.
*2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ…

Sumptuous suggestions straddle stagnancy
Summoned by engaging pages
Susceptible skulls imbibe vibrancy
Surmounting latitude notion ravages
Authors serve smorgasbord swathes of research
Reading's pizza fuses flavours opposing
Issues investigated, valid views aptly asserted
Essays stretch perception, anomaly concepts provoking
Unfurling knowledge tunes recognition's accord
Rhizomes capacitate vertical fronds fluent
Rationale garnered from forest of topics explored
Absorbs ripened writing, reaps new nutrients
Menacing media's ocean threatens to overwhelm
Thrusting throng fish flash slippery details
Awash in momentum's musings, reader swallows foam
Deep sea dive reveals wealth of ocean's minerals
Publications polish paled perishing facets
Discernment detangles dusty brain's barren
Seeds sown with sophistication grow great in habit
Cracked codes give gregarious cerebrum companion
A long line of waters
Deep in hearts of bathers
A lifeline of growth
Weep of salvation brought forth
Waters of life over a mile
Outrunning a thousand stile
Gifts of life in piles
Surmounting torments of viles
Dreams on waters slate
Streams of sages proliferate
Sun beam of neon flickers
Teeming waters on pickers
Wishers with panoramic views
Dreamer of waters purviews
Like well-wishers throwing coins over heels
Eye-openers on picker wheels
A river full of life
A river lull of strife
Outpouring a thousand mile
Outscoring a thousand smile
On this river of hope
A bigger dream to scope
A kaleidescope of scenery
Grandeur over tapestry
One day the said river dried
No one ever wondered and belied
Gold in pieces on the ground mounted
In the hearts of gold sprouted
Euphrates...
A river
Affirmatively, we are in God's plan*, perfectly divine
Bestowed with love to bloom with amazing design...
Cherished around the Creator's compassionate caring zest
Definitely awaiting sovereign calendar for grand time's best...
Existence meant to explore and enjoy optimally life eternal
Functional around fellowship transcending the ephemeral...
Geared for glowing by Christ's light against guilt-caused gloom
Hoisted with faith, upheld by love, surmounting sin-inflicted doom...
In the LORD, we are who He wants us to be for His honour and glory
Justified by His redemption holiness, among His redeemed ones in victory...
King is the Almighty who molds us with His best by His workmanship
Loving Him must be our aim midst His offered fellowship toward triumphant worship!
*Ephesians 1:4-5 - According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

Cat three-tooth, cat stone-deaf, cat sidewinder walk,
Old Bealman stalked the croaking, the croaking,
with forepaws meek stroking
airs of a summer cool night.
Bealman, Bealman, Meow & Sealman,
Pacing, still racing, one two three man.
Bealman—frog fisher & free.
Delphinium, the roses, lupine interposes
a shadow of fortressed green leaf
disguises the notion my Bealman supposes—
to seize, dismember it through,
make self-concocted, dishering frog stew.
Bealman, Bealman, Meow & Sealman,
Pacing, still racing, one two three man.
Bealman—frog fisher & free.
Night hours accounting, morning’s surmounting,
a bird warning Bealman, his patience to thin.
Croaking still blending, a flower stalk was bending,
two legs, peaking out, sent Bealman straight in.
Bealman, Oh my Bealman, Meow & Sealman,
Pacing, still racing, one two three man.
Frog fisher & free.
I saw Bealman beaming; I saw Bealman beaming.
How cats manage beaming I’ll wonder again.
Since Bealman was twenty, any beaming is plenty.
I loved my old Bealman, my frog fisher friend.
Bealman, Bealman, my meow dear Sealman,
Frog fisher & free.
Yielding to God for His molding, so gracious
I acknowledge my sins, indeed repentant
Seeking for His pardon, divinely precious.
By His mercy at work, tremendously triumphant
To His control I surrender my stubborn will
As He directs my steps toward life that’s jubilant.
Trekking with Him peacefully upward service-hill
My spirit He enriches with wisdom’s endowment
Along fruitful stewardship I’m entrusted to fulfill.
Midst weariness, I ask for His empowerment
While my heart follows His compassionate leadership
In kingdom advancement marked by ministerial engagement.
Victoriously, with blissful praise-worship
My faith soars, surmounting challenges’ strain
Abiding in Christ, enjoying His sweet fellowship.
Relationship with the Lord gives me blest stewardship gain
I stay basking in His presence of serenity reign.
*1Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

My eyes are open
My mind is pacing
My heart is racing
So I close my eyes
And sit in quietude
I was told it fabricates a different attitude
Looking for the child
who needs to escape
While I listen to the echoes
Of the bowls reverberate
As I look into my Minor eyes
I begin to catechize
As I analyze
I begin to realize
My younger mind has been traumatized
Now I see my inhibitions with great lucidity
So I begin to question their validity
As we confabulated
Liberation is what eventuates
I open my eyes to a new feeling
Once a caged mind
Now unfettered
Once vacillated
Now resolute
Now I embark on an odyssey
With consecrated determination
Surmounting impediments without hesitation
Oh how my life has changed
Since I’ve been acquainted with meditation.
Freely surmounting impediment hill
My special child propels himself with mirth
Geared up well by his wheelchair journey thrill
Signifying another milestone worth.
Behold his triumphant contagious glee
Toward great well-being zest, he does flee
Perspiring, exuding thanksgiving spree.
Such to me is a miraculous sight
Highlighting answered prayer of faith’s might
Assured by divine grace against doubt’s blight.
Trusting the Lord, I keep peaceably still
Assisting my son to enrich his dearth
So he can be what God wants him to be
Victoriously* soaring for progress height.
*1Corinthians 15:57 …Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Purity ring vows commitment
marked with fidelity to the Saviour
keeping soul sanctified
around His redemption security.
College ring triumphs midst gratitude
acknowledging family support
toward success' crest
geared by the Lord's wisdom.
Engagement ring glows
while ecstatic in romance bliss
awaiting altar date of Sovereign approval
for love seal's authentication.
Wedding ring sparkles as hope radiates
set for blessed one-flesh venture
as to God, bonded hearts pronounce "I do"
surmounting challenges, till death would sever.
Loyalty ring still prevails over every challenge
steadfastly serving despite sufferings
while the Creator assures verily
His "well done"* approval nod.
*Mathew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
