The opening poem of the day is presented.
While some individuals aspire to wealth, others find fulfillment in different dreams. Personally, I feel I’ve paused my dreaming.
As a member of Generation X, I embrace a unique and modern perspective.
I recall a moment from my sixteenth year when I stood on that cliff, gazing over the gully. It inspired me to reflect on my life, viewing challenges, rejections, and feelings of inadequacy about my professional potential as steppingstones to growth.
I dedicated 28 years to a job that tested my spirit, sacrificing my own mental health so my daughters could pursue their dreams. In doing so, I empowered them to chase their aspirations, passing the torch of my dreams to them.
I stand at a pivotal moment in my life, reflecting on my journey.
Have I made the right choice?
Am I truly satisfied with my decisions?
I envision breaking through barriers that seek to quiet my voice.
To silence one voice is to shut down a conversation.
My final lines… finding growth after changing course.

Presented Polite Priest To Our Parish
There are many things that poems can contain;
Fragrant flowers which will flow in a spring rain;
Sky full of clouds and mountain top with snow,
While across some wide sea wind would blow.
Heard a polite priest who we love in our parish;
Could give great sermon which we will cherish;
And should see him walking down a long aisle;
Done smoothly and graciously with much style.
In many ways, himself he did seem to involve;
All of our spiritual problems was able to solve;
We also have heard that he is well educated;
His main concern is to make others motivated.
Naturally of course we know his greatest goal,
Is always to make us whole and save our soul;
God did gave us exactly who we had desired;
He was the pleasant person who we had hired.
Jim Horn
Truly God is the only one who is able
being the all-powerful non created being
who rules and reigns from all eternity
so making sure we don’t go a falling
This one all divine and godly
who’s able to perfectly present
you of all people faultless
made a new creation old truly rent
The presence of the divine glory
this you’re able to presently appear
filled with the joy of the Lord
fully satisfied displaying godly fear
So the only God truly wise
who saved us securely sure
His be all glory and majesty
reign powerfully to endure
This declaration is all eternal
nothing will ever make it cease
God is our God authoritatively true
His kingdom forever to increase
(‘Now unto Him, that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.’)
Jude vs. 24,25 (KJV)
Poetically Presented Politics
By Franklin Price
3/1/2016
Poetically presented politics
Is something I find fun
Try not to party orient
Or point to who's the one
Look for funny foolish things
That should not be a point
If not used in the current race
Could put runners in the joint
If half truths got an Oscar
And a sidestep got them two
All would be awarded one
And most of them a few
Rolling in whiteline freedom
Tasting the fog's wet kisses
A hawk screams and wheels in explosive joy
Songbirds scatter and disappear
Wind pauses in disarray
Echoes of falcon screams
Shiver in spines attune to bagpipes
Life in present tense
Soaring on highways of free
As surf echoes in a wayfaring mind
Rolling on moon pulled sea
Soaring forever
Free
