That's Why They
"Cheat,"
But We Can't Call It
THAT
Anymore... Call It
A Win. (Stupid.)
Wow, That Is
Sooooo Noisy.
I Can't Hear My
Self Think.

The med staff may hear my voice squeak
Where they insert tubes we won’t speak
Since this causes pain
I wish they’d refrain
Or try going straight not oblique

Glow and Prosper in this Lifetime

It's time for New Beginnings
It's time for your best Life
Don't worry about the others
Fill your cup and fuel your Flight
You have the Power to choose your Path
Despite your Destiny and your Fate
No matter your circumstances
It's never, ever too late
What's meant for you will find you
Attract Abundance of Love and Light
For your Soul is meant to Flourish
To Glow and Prosper in this Lifetime

P-ay attention to an inside feeling,
R-echarge thy heart and soul
O-f a far lost strength,
S-urrender from the
P-ain felt,
E-levate your mind and
R-escusitate
Turning the hearts of the fathers to the children
And the hearts of the children to the Fathers.)
Let go!
Live to the beat
of your inner rhythm.
Move with the flow
where the journey of life
brings you;
sometimes to a rocky road
when the journey seems
filled with despair,
and tears fall like raindrops,
sometimes to a sweet respite
when your path seems straight and clear
and you prosper in all you do.
Welcome whichever comes!
Accept as part of the journey and just be.
Observe the trees as they do,
see how they flourish.
They sway when the wind blows
and steadies when it’s calm and silent,
doesn’t matter what comes,
the way to be,
is to let go and let God.

caught in the rapids white crest
as boulders race by
their little webs paddle fast
streamlined and harmonious
as a pond comes into view

Quitters never prosper
So it is said
I won’t give up
I’m not yet dead!
When things go wrong
As they sometimes will
And the going
Seems all uphill
And defeat shoves me down
Until I lose my will
Rest if you must
But don’t you ever quit
That light within
Burns up a shout
Frustration screams
Let it all out
Many a failure turns around
Hold on and stand your ground
Your pace may be slow
But get up and go
For what is success
But failure, turned inside out!
8.6.22
I remind myself
I’m doing all I do
For the God of heaven
The One I pour out my heart to
The wonder of all wonders
The love I honor, worship and praise
The answer to my every prayer
The hope that He is always there
The grace that feeds my soul
The inspiration for a joy who knows
God is only a teardrop away
And He loves me more than I can say
With a love that creates thanks
For the music He makes
When He lights up the heart
With hope, faith and love
Brighter than the stars above
More wonderful that any dream
His glory is alive and can be seen
In the heart who carries Him
An anchor for every need
Amid the storms and challenges
Of a darkness that is thick as fog
Leaving a silence that colors the heart
In hues of dread, fear and despair
Still, His light reflects on the soul
Pouring out love that will wash away
All the worry, sorrow and grief, silencing
The doubt with a shout of belief!
Colossians 3:23
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
King James Version (KJV)
SONNET XXVII — MY WAY
(transformed from Pandita Sanchez's 'I did it my way')
I did it my way not because of the applause,
But because failure was not an option for me.
I became a rebel with a cause...
I was born to win, to prosper, to conquer of course.
And I was told I wouldn't have it all,
I had to fight, I had to creep and crawl
And I was told I wouldn't keep the pace,
I knew I wouldn't, but also I knew I'd finish the race.
I did it my way not because of my name,
Not because of kingly fame.
But I challenged every obstacle placed in my way,
Determined to shun out all that people say:
Follow the ways of your heart, ponder straight to where it leads you young man,
Guide it with your mind, and don't expect people to understand.

The massive field of this World
Virus eating to emptiness
My love to you remember
Fruiting proper and prosper!
Come forth, my child;
Rise above the storm;
Reach out toward heavens door;
Unlock the passages they were worn;
Prosper and rejoice forevermore;

Transfer To Prosper
To another take things to transfer;
Will please then when done proper;
Also right
And Polite;
People around are certain to prosper.
