Motherly Love and Frowns
Treading down the memory lane streams to my mind
memories from far yet near, some sweet, some sour,
memories preciously shelved in the precincts of my inner sanctum;
so sweet were the mindful motherly hugs of love
like the embrace of a divine angel
so serene soft and self-assuring her smiles
like the spring selfless sunshine
so delicious her warm kisses on the forehead
that no other feel can replace,
yet interspersed at times with some harsh words
for playing hide and seek on the sideway street;
so soft was the caress of her hands on the cheeks
that not even a beloved can bestow
so cool and compassionate her cuddly care
no considerate nurse can dispense
so pleasing to rest on her merciful knees
more so after a hectic day`s fatigue,
yet interposed often times with some scowls
for dusting my clothing or getting home late after cycle rides;
In afterthought, her love and frowns have made me the man I am.

Anchored in the Aura of your loyalty, the
Breathtaking mood you enhance in me, for I
Cannot fathom the length of your love
Definitely not enveloped in envy but care
Every time that phone rings you race to it
Fervently like a worship, in offerings
Garnished with sacrifices and praises
Hammered by my hypnotic smile you hug
In, triggered by my endangering tear you
Jug ruthlessly into its source, instilling
Kindness and knowledge endlessly
Like a rugged professor, family is not
Mostly drawn out of blood, you have stood
Needlessly in my heart, because the bond
Overcomes every thorn that pierces our soul
Preciously evacuating every dead ash laying
Quietly in my heart, you have genuinely and
Relentlessly proven you are worth a million
Size too enormous to spill, your support
Tenaciously clench my wrist like a pillar of
Unraveling mysteries. You share vital
Visions and make us run with it like thieves.
Wondering amid primrose you glisten like
Xanthopetals, serenading your bloom
Yet unmarred flawlessly in Perihelion, let your
Zestful being be celebrated for being a true friend.

There is great purpose and awesome potential within, however the image in a mirror can sometimes become distorted.
When God made you in his image, She made you fearfully and wonderfully which has been divinely reported.
How you see the image in the mirror can be a magnet that pulls you into your glorious destination.
The image you should see is full of love, beauty, compassion, and a complete absent of fear or degradation.
The past reflections may say you're not good enough, you're not strong or smart enough, keeping one in bondage, which is not the image of your absolute royal calling.
Pay no attention to nay sayers and negative connotations concerning your plans and dreams when goodness and mercy follow you, stay focused to avoid stumbling or falling.
See yourself as God sees you, empathic, caring, confidant, compassionate, loyal, and regal royalty you were created to be.
Know that you are preciously valuable and the magnificent forces in you are more powerful than dark principalities that hinder you from being free.

An illusion; a blurred vision; psychic collision;
Deja vu caused in me an invisible division;
My mind and heart showed me a situation lived before,
What happened and what would happen floated from core to fore...!
Lightning of experiences of the past brightly stroke,
Streams of headspaces within seas of likes and dislikes broke;
A spasm of thoughts and feelings conscripted conflicting events,
Psychic disposition got divided into segments...!
A sensibly insensible synthesis churned within,
A feeling, like a pin-prick, erupted pain in my skin;
Within, existence flew flawlessly with fresh surprises,
With bounded and unbounded preciously pristine wises...!

Echoing all around
Beauty of Winter stream
Frozen droplets seen
Birds from the forest
Greeted our tourists
My Creator, my heart
You are Master of fine art
Our harmony accords
Glory to you my Lord
Purity of life
It is you, Jesus Christ
With love we replenish
Your heart we have kept as precious
Honor to our faith
Heavenly Father preciously gave
Glory to delight
Many are in sight
Embraced by God's love
Heavenly blessed from above
We are beloved
Deliver them our love

Think thrice before any action
To avoid the happening of friction
When you do the final selection
You must get perfect satisfaction
Decide not in the last minute
Do not ponderously just sit
Try to practice to keep fit
Success is sweet, get it
Dreaming will not get great glory
Inaction makes you feel sorry
Carry on work without any hurry
Never worry as it is unnecessary
Plan and execute with great skill
Extract out of duty maximum thrill
Always perform the task with will
Your coffers, efforts will surely fill
When circumstances are adverse
Then do not despise the Universe
God and prayer are there to nurse
You can rectify if things are worse
Just believe in your full capacity
This belief will act like electricity
Increase via work your capacity
Keep intact your great creativity
Exploit your potential sagaciously
Ignore comments made atrociously
Taste this life viewing it preciously
Let holy time be viewed auspiciously!

Ever Faithful God* cares with His “gracious guiding"
His “wise ways” lead for spiritual ‘grow, glow, go
midst limitless ‘love above’ --- “freely, fully” offered…
Jesus, King Lord Master warms ‘blest zest’, divinely ecstatic
His “redemption ransom” “secures soul” from hell’s arena
toward ‘triumphant jubilant’ “heavenly-hoisted” endeavor
thru “sincere supplication, smiting selfish” arrogance
for eternal ‘worship-partnership’, “preciously priceless”.
*Psalm 86:15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Today surprised me
God always knows what to do
Our sky was so blue
Preciously gave them
This laughter between them
Birds will be flying high
Through the sky
Harmoniously gathered
See this matters
Wonders from our Heavenly Father
We love one another, we work together
Receiving through love
We recognized we knew we are enough
Creative eye which God has opened
Through my heart My LORD Christ has spoken

May the Lord quench its thirst
Words to repair
Knowing we truly care
Keep the idea clear
That everyone may hear
Light surrounds us
Preciously kept within us
Serenity from within
Runs deeper than our skin
Willingness to try
We are precious within Heavens eyes
When looking around
Raising our eyes from off the ground
Patience we have earned
Through all we have learned
Birds truly can
Listen and understand
Try to communicate
Connection will elevate
Become one with your surroundings
Be the first to tell me of your findings
Beautiful sounds
Lifting our heads to the clouds
Learn to illuminate
Our road now resonates
Crafted us within love
Reveals the rainbows grace from above
Blessing our union
Which our Lord has given
Protection Angels bring
Have you heard a wing feather sing

Together since our teens
So many decades together
Keeper of each other’s hearts
Through calm and stormy weather
We have conquered this life together
And all that came our way
Through all life’s up and downs
By each other’s side we stayed
Now in our senior years
No longer working for the man
Life is at its ultimate
True freedom has just began
As an older person
I view life more preciously
For the first time ever
I’m aware of longevity
Still so in love
Blessed and happy with my family
Yet now I get fleeting moments of dread
As a sense of fear randomly visits me
I’m fearful as time goes by
With impending years
This life and those I love so much
Will change and slowly disappear
It’s not a constant thought
Just a few minutes of awful dread
Usually in the dark of night
It rears it’s ugly head
It isn’t a fear of dying
Just a fear of inevitable change
I want this wonderful life I have
To always stay the same
My life appreciation has grown with age
Accompanied by inner peace
I only wish that fearful thought
Would leave my mind and cease!

Long gone
Blurry pictures torn
Arts and colors
Drawn so preciously
A stare
A glare
A sight to see
Viewing of paintings
So far from thee.

I confess
We are blessed
The world has secrets
Our Lord reveals it
High energy and frequency
Released within me
Traveled distance
Without resistance

Our Lord does give it
Released our light from God
Seen through the fog
Love offer receiving

CHRIST* the Lord God reached down to grant love gift
Hope-filled, joyous toward heavenly lift…
Redemption and assured life eternal
Inspiring great spiritual revival
Satisfying beyond what’s temporal…
Transforming heart as in Him I delight
Meaningfully illumined by truth’s light
Anchored upon Scriptures, perfectly right
Saviour makes my Christmas preciously bright.
Memories of great family bonding
Ever remind me of Christmas trending…
Most of all is sharing with kindness’ cheer
Oh, the warmth of belongingness so dear…
Receiving, giving, exchanging presents
Immersing in gracious festive moments…
Enriched with bliss and peace of forgiveness
Soul of mine thanks Jesus for His goodness.
*Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
