Premium Member Precious Gift

Eternal life* of blest delight
Endowed by God as precious gift
Received through faith in Christ as light…
Eternal life of blest delight
Full pardon from sin-causing blight 
Grace to share toward heaven’s lift …
Eternal life of blest delight
Endowed by God as precious gift.

*Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

                         Blessed is a soul who down himself can peer
                              And scan the depth of his own mind
                              Or access his inner self without fear.
                        Blessed is a soul who down himself can peer                                                                                
                       Aims to reach the height of the divine sphere                            
                               And the virtuous path ever finds.
                       Blessed is a soul who down himself can peer
                             And scan the depth of his own mind.

Sensing a threat, move not a bit;		
Wait not for a hero to come;			
Summon your powers to face it.			
Sensing a threat, move not a bit;		
Solve it using your human wit;			
This way, a hero you become. 			
Sensing a threat, move not a bit;	 		
Wait not for a hero to come.

Dream

I
glide in
air;
I dare
to enter
any
where;
I do
cross scary
seas and fiery
volcanoes;
Flying
mats
do I
possess? No
I fly,
as
it's a
dream

Peace

One love
And

grip my soul
My heart should be
full of vim
bursting

and calm bliss

Pure soul

Should I

SHOULD I?

When
I saw
her
In the
morning sun,
I knew
I
had to
introduce
myself to her.
Was I too
forward
to
believe
she might feel
the same?
Yes
she just
laughed

Thy Will Done
Learn
to live
by
the Lord’s 
words and creed
for it’s
all
one needs
to be freed
Where you may roam
sow God’s love
spirits
grow 
from those 
tiny seeds
that you
tend
thy will

Sea Glass
  
Waves
Rolling
Tides
Tumble
The castoff
Shattered
Shards
Of jars
And bottles
Blue, green, umber,
Recalling
Picnics,
Life’s
Laughter -
Seashore trash
Transformed
As 
Sea glass
Gems.
