Tests us for our tenacity
Tries us toward our triumph
Treats us against tempting tribulations
Trains us tactfully, tenderly and thoughtfully

Victimized voices as we vie against violence

Working wondrous performance 
Warning that wakes our pause

Who judges:
Expertly as He empowers
Excellently as He enables
Expeditiously as emboldens
Ethically by His endurance
Equitably which He exemplifies

being our defense:
Shielding our souls from sins
Strengthening our sanctified spirit
Securing our salvation steadfastness
Sustaining us by His satisfying sufficiency
Sealing our stewardship with service-settlement. Amen!

Premium Member To Honor My Hero

I am, indeed, not a worshiper of heroes,
It's because no beings I consider zeroes;
Yet, thinking of some there, within, rings an alarm,
One such human is A. P. J Abdul Kalam...!

An Air-Space Scientist; India's Missile Man,
Who made me to trust in me; say always: I can;
Loved as Peoples President; by nature humble;
From his stern path of truth never did he tumble...!

Silence he loved; sparkling smile he did always shed,
Utilized challenges as stepping-stones; went ahead;
Inner strength should be shield he said; shine like the sun;
Hardest of hardships in existence never shun...!

Children he loved; Inspired them to ignite their minds;
To no child's question on existence he stayed blind;
Fly like birds of the air he said; do not just crawl;
Be in touch with self; give heed to your inner call...!

His words of realization he truly lived,
His biography says, in life, none he deceived;
He was not handsome; yet he lent his hands to some;
To no threat from any, he never did succumb...!

Awarded with Padma Bhushan and Bharat Ratna,
His dedicated life ended like a drama;
A perfect lecturer; While lecturing he died;
Eternity, within her tide, his soul did hide...!

Lost In Found

Lost in grief and sorrow
Wednesday's child found a way
To take what was given
And mold something funny to say

Laughter paved a smooth road
Sarcasm made them think
Is she happy, sad, angry
One thing for certain, she'll never sink

....to despair

Marriage came in like a whirlwind
Disappointment at every turn
But she took every moment to ponder
And sought  out concepts she could learn

Growth was slow and methodical
With no idea where everything led
But she chose to stop fearing
And never more, give in to dread

...what could lie ahead

From barrenness to fruitful baskets
She offered them up to LOVE
She could never have believed
The ground would push her up in a ruthless shove

Up, up, up toward the light
The darkness left behind, underneath the soil
The years ahead would be difficult
Constant work, struggle and toil

...just to breathe

She learned to yield to LOVE
Fighting for the TRUTH still lying at His feet
One day, freedom came as she picked it up
And watched fear retreat

Into shadow, Deception fled 
As TRUTH waited in her hand
She studied, utilized it in battle
And finally began to understand

...THE truth

All that was lost
All the grief, sorrow and pain
Is exactly where it was laid down
In LOVE...where there is no lack

.....................and everything is gain

Written by Trudy Schrader on 01/11/2020

Note: Today is my oldest son's birthday...the day I went from barrenness to fruitfulness. Loss is process based, so is failure. Both are necessary for the wonderful process of growth. All that I have ever perceived as loss or failure, has been found in LOVE...which means, it was never there in the first place.

Premature Decay

I’m decaying prematurely,
with a marked efficiency I never utilized in life.
Bits of ash float from my mouth each time it opens
and my hands mark all I touch 
with a temporary smudge.
I’m going out like a burning star.
I can feel it.
My friends receive text after text of inane thoughts
impossible for anyone to appreciate.
They have no value;
I’m simply yelling into a void.
I want you to know me before I go.
Take what you can from this ash I leave.
Through the rubble lies sunsets and love for you.
Maybe it’s ruined, but I’ll heave it towards you anyway.
I hope there’s any value in it
to make my passing slightly bittersweet. 
I’ll love you from below.
I swear on it.


Premium Member Sands of Time

When I stand on the shore, everything makes sense.
I am forced into the now.
All of my senses are being utilized as nature intended.
I experience comfort.
My fear of death fades away.
The air smells refreshing, salty.
The wet sand under my feet and the wind at my face feels just right.
I can see eternity.
I am temporary and that is ok.
This world is fascinating, captivating, 
Nature provides.
My mind goes blank as I peer into eternity.
My soul no longer aches.
I admire nature’s beauty.
I feel no illness. No worries. No sorrow
For a moment, I let the rest of the world worry about itself, selfishly.
I am home.
As the sun sets, reality checks in.
Time to go.
Time...
Where does it go?
Sometimes I miss the good times.
Well, I have run out of time.
I must go now.

Why Do Today What You Can Put Off Til Tomorrow

(the following extrapolated 
     thought thread exercised,
NOT utilized to intimate 
     how Fats Domino belied,
and wowed a crowded house as-sized).

as a former ace procrastinator, i abhor
     putting off doing what best ought
     to get immediate attention bar
ring some extenuating dire circumstance,
     sans mishap with flying car

pet case in point being unexpected a bomb
bin able crisis necessitating
     hypothetical individual impossible
     to remain calm

     while in the process
     (assisted with good ole mom)
     to hoist self with one's own petard,
which emergency best warrant a re ward,

otherwise if fate doth NOT
     require one to break
     from ordinary business as usual
     to enlist the "FAKE"
help of a grenadier,

     who doth make
his/her livelihood
     risking their life, 
     and limb without quake
     king (obviously compensating bravery
     as he/she doth stake

     out mortal danger with adequate adorn
ing mortal kombat
     with ample legal tender and/
     or promising first born)

for unstinting mettle,
     especially tolerating accompanying
     martial baritone horn
     player screech (like fingernails

     scraping blackboard)
     in close proximity - eliciting a scorn
ing glare from soldier spy
     tinker tailor with a torn
smile while trained

     special ops named Bjorn
incurs deadly hazard from one morn
to the next amidst adversity
     shouldering care worn
Marine's motto semper fidelis,

which unnecessary loss of young life
     predicated on add
age, viz being at the least,
     a day late and dollar short egad
inadvertently dooming

     princely valiant warmonger,
     a mere stripling lad
whose mourning brings
    heavy pallor of sad

ness, which imagined situation - aye
tangentially congruently analogous by
and by to the butterfly effect, 
     or sparrow's swan song i.e. die
destiny wrought, when one dost espy

a single occurrence no lie,
(the flickr ring, instagram
     ming, kickstart ting well nigh
linkedin shutterfly of a butterfly)

     say twerks catcher in the rye,
hence no matter how small, thee or thy
can change the course
     of the universe forever,
     no idea how nor why!

All Poems/Stories/Quotes in the pages of this - "Book" - 
for my much beloved daughter Georgia.

A Woman

A woman gives birth to a new life.
She is not just a 'woman' 
But also a mother, a companion, a spouse,
A sister and, a survivor to the end. 

We never value her, respect her 
Ask her concerns and care for her
We never wipe away her tears, 
As they are imperceptible as air. 

She works, cooks and cleans
She chuckles, helps comfort, 
Yet, she never complains
And shrouds her agony. 

At the point when you battle in your life 
She helps to get you through
This is HER and what do we do? 
Grumble and make a wreck 
Give her pressure,
And leave her feeling discouraged. 

We push her away 
And overlook her exhortation
Reveal to her she isn't anything 
Without a man

She was assaulted, tormented 
And mishandled by the world
Told her she is nothing 
And would be continuously utilized 
Only for joy and pleasure 

She bites the bullet, puts her sentiments aside
Does as you need altogether for you to be free 
Overlooks your obliviousness 
And endures your blemishes

You call her a scraper and vagrant
You call her with slang names
But she answers with satisfaction and pride 
With a total loss of self

You call her nothing
But I call her solid, keen, erotic, mindful
Yet giving, enduring, lenient and amazing
And I call her WOMAN!

To Wear a Mask Or Not Is the Question Part Two

but this government MANDATE 
from Harris County is unnecessary, 
unconstitutional, and unAmerican. 

It’s an unprecedented overreach 
which looks more like a communist dictatorship 
than a free Republic. 

And here in Texas
We believe
That people have to make
Their own decisions

What’s that?
Drunk driving should be okay?
Driving without seat belts
Or insurance should be okay?

What is wrong with you people
Requiring people to wear a mask
Is not the same thing at all

It is communism socialism fascism
Liberalism nanny state run amok
And we will not stand by it

At this point,
 I see it as nothing more than politics. 
Governor Abbott announces a trajectory
 to start reopening Texas and Harris County, 
which never even utilized its $60 MILLION
 pop up hospital at NRG, I
mplements a mandate
 for face masks on 4 million people. 

The other counties to do it are Dallas, Bexar, and Travis. 
These are the 3 most liberal counties in the state of Texas. 
Coincidence?
 I don’t think so.

They are all filled with godless liberals, 
Gays and anti-Christians and democrats
Who hate America 
And hate TEXAS

 I believe we’ve seen
 the worst of this war.

What?
There has been a record breaking 
Increase in covid cases?

Just more fake news
Everything is fine 
Here is Texas

Cough cough cough 

 And we’re closer to victory 
than we’ve ever been. 
Let’s keep doing our part 
to be conscious of others 
when we’re out 
and make sure to hold

 government accountable, always

But don’t wear a mask
If you do 

We will pull you over
Because you are probably

A criminal type
Wearing a mask

To protect yourself
From the non-existent 
China flu

And we don’t want your kind
Living and polluting
Our great Texas state

Cough cough cough

You have to ask your self
Are you tired of living in a dictatorship yet?

This is what happens when people go crazy 
and get tested.
