This Christmas and other holidays’ fame
May Christ be exalted with His great name.
Hoisted by faith midst supplication zest
I trust God, the Source of gifts, indeed best.
Blissful peace and good success for us all
Shout my heart’s desires* against selfishness' pit fall.
Love-propped, my heart yearns to share with blest care
Reaching-out to help lift someone’s welfare.
Fellowship bonding of sweet partnership
Upholds ministry-service stewardship.
My soul pleads to exude virtues’ gesture
With body’s posture from ailment torture.
Daily, my spirit seeks for revival
Beyond routine of mundane survival.
Midst weariness is rest's delight-savor
Rejuvenating against works’ fervor.
Braced by prayer-plight, in the Lord I delight
Since He brings to light every motive's might.
Verily assured of priceless, precious divine grant
Grateful to my Saviour Jesus, I stay triumphant.
*Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

"all of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken"
Quote by _Constance La France
As the world celebrates Mother’s Day with triumph
affectionately, I cannot but reminisce my Mom
Artencia (her lovely name) whose vitality upholds me up until now
affirmatively marking my steps along the way…
Always grateful am I to God for my interesting journey
asserting praises for giving me my Mom
along her unconditional love, nurturing and nourishing me well
around her womb at the onset of my existence…
Aware of Mom’s unceasing presence
ah, my heart found haven in her gentle hands
approved by her care, pacified by sweet lullabies
assuaged against fear, especially during visits to the doctors...
Apprehended with misbehavior as a child
assured am I to have Mom as disciplinarian and mentor
amidst her compassion, mercy and grace
ascertaining to impart virtues that I now have as orphanage guardian...
Accompanied by Mom along significant routes
armed was I with choices and decisions by her guidance
and while I confess my stubbornness, contradicting her, still I admit
actually, she aided me in my journey to become the woman* I am today.
Proverbs 31:30 “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.” King James Version (KJV)

Summer is vacation time in my country
Blissfully welcomed with eagerness-delight…
Yet, season of more works* in the ministry
To serve the Lord gladly by His sovereign light.
Amidst engulfing oppressive summer heat
Spiritual retreat burns with revival fire
While scorching sun emits afflicting rays’ feat
Soul quenched with life’s Water never does retire.
Worship-bliss greets radiant firmament
Warm air keeps sweet fellowship-embers sparkling
Faith upholds mountain-trek prayer engagement
God brings me to peace-peak as to Him I cling.
*Proverbs 30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer.

Toward Material Trappings
Gold and silver upholds
true value capitalist money tree
Thrown down upon gaunt
lit alter of Midas,
treasured as current sea
Countless denominations
cashiered legal tender to grant
Rich Midas, who straddles
diamond compound,
billed as sacred Kant
Tickles with dollar signs
motley foolish crue scrambling
towards drawbridge gate
Pedestrians malingering
hungry thirst
for wealth of nations to satiate
Inexorable appetite
for wanton money to amass
Fuels reverence
all that glitters even brass
Whence madding crowd
behaviour cruel and crass
Deplorable if perceived
from one-way looking glass
Fool hardiness to revere
what beast called money,
lucre, and green back
Can buy - sweeping across
World Wide Web
scarring globe on fast track
Toward accumulating
high excess lavish life harried style
parade with pomp
and swiftly tailored circumstances while
Ninety nine percent
of less wealthy live hand to mouth
Envying those billeted
behind sealed mansions
east, west, north and south
Except this dollar less chap,
who could not give a rat’s tush
For ka-ching melodic sound
twenty four seven that does swoosh
In burlap sack clothes
and bank accounts preferring
to slog and push
Along boulevard of broken dreams
that resembles nothing but mush
Yet preference prevails
foregoing attachment
to government sanctioned loot
Freeing mind and body trying
to cherish voluntary simplicity,
which does suit
This quest for knowledge seeking writer,
who disparages
tooting his own horn
Nor imposing personal philosophy
that gives reason exuberantly to exhale
Versus vacuity and purposelessness
sans, blind faith toward Holy Grail
Goading most people to persevere
for millions of bucks over hill and dale
Despite owning next to nothing,
yet detaching psychological
bond that doth choke
Ability to experience unfettered psyche
likened to oxen iron bound yoke!
