Are you at the end of your hope?
Tie on that anchor, hold onto that rope.
Losing sight of the promised visions?
Hearken back to His past provisions.
What He began in you, He will complete;
lift up your longings, and continue to seek.
For what He has promised, He surely will do;
His love is never-ending, His covenants true.

The Dying—do not question—
If Heaven waits—or Not—
Their Lips mouth Hallelujah—
The Soul—what it Forgot—
The Church provides a Compass—
Though Maps—are rarely True—
We Pilgrims—clutch a Candle—
And call the Darkness—Blue—
A grave—becomes a Promise—
The Dust—a kind of Trust—
And Nothingness—is padded—
With Hymns—we learned to trust—
Yet—Somewhere—in the Silence—
A Skeptic—counts the Stars—
And finds—amongst Oblivion—
No Fear—as soft-- as ours --
When we build
for everyone,
everyone wins:
The ramp helps
not just wheelchairs
but strollers,
delivery carts,
tired legs.
Captions help
not just deaf ears
but noisy rooms,
second languages,
different processors.
Multiple ways in
mean no one
stands outside
looking through
locked windows
at learning
they can't reach.
Every entrance
leads to the same
beautiful place:
understanding,
belonging,
growth.
Design from the start
for every brain,
every body,
every spirit
that walks
through your door.
thy
heart
like
the
sacred butterfly
is
transformed
through
the
light of God

persnickety aunts probably authored private annuals
providing all plebes and prospects a polite answer
allowing provocative avid public a peek
at potential artistic playgrounds amid positive attitudes
plentiful alluring prancing and allegiance provided
amid persnickety aunts pleasing astronomical prospects
allegedly pleasant as polite aunties possibly assent
plebes always providing appreciative provocative audience
When you are in a confused state
Born thoughts will not be great
For this you must postpone action
For the dying of possible friction
When calmly you try to deliberate
Good and bad, you can segregate
While holding a negative emotion
Pessimistic will be one's notion
At the time of a chaotic situation
Surely there will come no elation
Just do something else carefully
Forgetting this whole chaos fully
Analyze not the pros and cons
Try to establish not your stance
Allow the matter to take its course
Keep tranquility using mighty force
As a result of this postponement
You may soon face advancement
A solution will strongly emerge
As you suppressed your urge
Your reputation will surely soar
Your character, all will adore
Take time and decide very wisely
You can clinch success nicely
If decisions are like this taken
Heart can never at all be broken
This type of sagacious treatment
Will lead to a peaceful settlement
Just try this dear at your own pace
No doubt, joy and mirth, you will face.
I Shall Not Want
I shall not waist my life pining over what was or what should have been.
I will reach for what is... what is now, in front of me and also Gods will.
“ For consider the lilies of the field and how they grow, they do not worry about clothing.”
In this life I humbly give myself to the Lord for he is a good Provider, Father, and Friend.
I trust Him to provide a shelter and a job not in my time but his time.
As we look forward
to a (Revolution)
in living and loving
the retired life.
I was hoping my wife,
who is teaching me
how to speak toddler.
Would lead me to a
(Spontaneous) (Fixation),
to (Patronize)
our two year old granddaughter,
and (Navigate) the (Portal) of some
(Tangible)(Intrigue).
And provide the older grand kids
with some exciting games
and entertainment.
He is to provide the emotional, financial, spiritual,
The mental health needs for all,
Provide for the physical health of his family,
Regardless of how big or how small,
Also to protect her self esteem and worth,
Protect her values to live by,
Protect against any threats to her life,
Protect from a broken down cry.
Then lead from the front without a whine,
Lead life's game toward a win,
A win for everyone to own their own life
Own their fulfillment within.
And, finally, to teach how to approach life,
Like a confident successful man,
Showing his family how to live a life,
Being the best family man that he can.
I am just a little sparrow, one lost soul
I am just repented and I just need to be whole;
Lord, Jesus will you save me and redeem my soul;
I am hungry God and I am starving;
I am homeless God I need shelter;
I am improvised Lord, God came you give me a dime;
I am confused Oh, OH can you save my mind;
all I only know;
all I can't control;
but this feeling I have I sure;
you will always provide;
if you will do for the sparrow;
what less would you do for me;
if you will do for the robins;
I know, I know you will, you will ;
you will always provide for;
whether I pray for it or not, you'll provide;
whether I ask for it or not, you'll provide;
and just when I think you've forgotten me;
He will, He does;
My God;
He will always provide;
I'm just a sparrow and I know my God;
He will always provide;

Lord, I don’t ask for riches,
for silver or for gold.
For nothing in this world will last,
it will decay and grow old.
I ask only for my needs, Lord
that you have promised to supply.
I know you will provide for me.
On you, I can always rely.
Your promises are forever sure,
You will never, never forsake.
I will trust in you completely.
You know the path I take.
I am in a dark place
It is dismal in my land
Radiant is the sun
That shines upon my breast—
Laughter is the sound that you feel,
Puffing out your chest—
You are
Too much of man;
Or
Too much a woman;
You're a child!
As you run away from life and find a new kind of smile turned
Upside down;
(And you)
You are turned
Inside out.
Becoming the man you used to denounce;
Overcompensating…
For what(?)
—A lack of ego and pride
Feeling ashamed
Deep down inside—
Not outside; from with-in.
You have the courage...
The courage to provide

Tuff love he provides
No harm to a child he cries
Self-sufficiency he teaches
Compassion not lacking, just hidden
Success is their forward contribution
Tuff love they provide
The sorrow in her heart is doubled in mine
If only life were recorded she would see
ALL the damage was done by he
with me as a cushion safegaurding us three
He walks the earth as if it were his
he may pass you daily with no regretts
This is a sad fact and its beyond my grasp
as you and your sister are my now my future and my past
I'll be there forever and a day
but please dont let your mind runaway
The answers you seek the questions you hold
perhaps have no answers or may just leave ur heart cold
You both are smart and beautiful, friendly and lots lots more
Deservant always for acceptance love and happiness
Its up to you to walk through that door
Sadly I have and always will be here to pick his mess up off the floor
