An ode of the things I'm told are great about me
Number 1; I know how to.have fun
Number 2; I'm adventurous and will try anything once
And finally; three, im.crrative and free, smart.and arty farty gso good with words that it's rather absurd. I love to learn and I learn fast every exam I take you will surely pass with flying colours. Colours of the rainbow spirited and spiritual, cool calm and collected, honest and true say what I think thithink what I say I'm anyone's friend who will brighten up your day!
Rebirth is God's work alone
for He#'s the chief architect of it all
only God can change the heart from within
redeeming lost sinners from Adam's fall
Rebirth is an invincible work
for this is all of God and Him alone
as He is sovereign in all His ways
to achieve our new birth our soul to atone
Rebirth is an irreversible work
what God has done man can't undo
this has eternal consequences for everyone
for only the Lord can make us brand new
Rebirth is a purposeful work
so God's purpose proves to be true
He works everything according to His will
and His will, He makes a pleasure to do
Rebirth is a lasting work
taking you right into heaven's gate
being received by Jesus your saviour
giving Him praise filling His blessed plate
Youth, strength, skills
Endurance, heart are reasons
Success in sports.
Love can shine like salvation.
Love lights unseeable torches
When heated, love evades judgment.
It gives breath to the sweetest sounds.
Love makes reasons and it breaks reason.
inner beauty shines
her laughter, her smile, her eyes
outer beauty glows
TREAT ME LIKE A HUMAN
Flowers can be pink
Flowers can be white
Light or heavy that does not change their hearts
They result in fruits which may have seeds or be seedless
Fruition is the best of it all
The fact that inner qualities matter cannot be denied
Shows that as humans
dark o fair
Tall or short
we are all humans
and need to be treated as such
~Remarkable and optimistic too, are the qualities of you~
What qualities make a ‘successful man’,
Is it the tambor of his voice,
Some lofty goals, a lifelong plan,
A steering hand, his knowing choice.
Can compassion play a part
Or is that interpreted as meekness;
Is it wrong to show a heart
Without labeling it as weakness?
Does strength need to be paraded
A steely front for all to see,
Is authority degraded
When others sometime don't agree?
An old proverb said as much:
"A wise man is one who listens"
Few have had the Midas touch
And those that did have breached divisions.
Three traits renown - the deadly cluster,
The very ones to spell out doom,
Bravado, Braggadocio and sheer Bluster,
For all they bring is downright gloom.
So where's the rulebook, that golden fleece
To show the way and light the path,
That font of knowledge and inner peace,
Assured success without the wrath?
Where it exists is inner strength,
A willingness to learn whilst teaching too,
Consistency and grace to any length,
Embracing all of us, not simply you.
Goodness comes from giving
Happiness by doing
Friendship through a miracle
and love without pursuing
Faith for what we've gone through
And hope for where we've been
Charity for what is best
and failure to begin
I find reassurance
in knowing I need not worry
no one will show up for my plans
And my job
and my joy
is to work and play with those someones
already here
in my life on this native Earth
at this sacred time.
I hear considerable comforting room
between not being able to accomplish all that is sufficient
for global health
and my ability to fully engage all that is necessary
for my locally connected wealth.
When it's final curtain time,
the size of the stage
is insignificant
compared to the quality of resonant sound
and resilient
brilliant lights.
A mute voice challenge not, less confusion,
Blind perceive their course for their path is set,
A cripple waywardness is known to them,
The amputee, depth is stored in their breadth,
Frame trait, sex gland, gender--human, not threat.

Alas, the world has changed
As the humans take control.
They, for their own likes and dislikes,
Have defined you, just as they please.
And now, you witness the creation of great walls…
Separating mankind.
By the comparison… of colour, of language, of the way of life.
The beautiful, the clean, the classy, the rich…
High class, low class, third class, middle class…
Splitting the world: once split by geographical circumstances.
But remember, your definition lies within you:
In your honesty, purity, tenderness and virtue.
They are to be measured, evaluated, and to be improved…
So to win the heart of man as a rightful citizen.
Remember; do not define yourself by those futile factors –
For with them, only the stupidity of mankind shall rise.

My closest friends came to be serendipitously
acquaintances through circumstances...
age deepened respect through several years...
honesty, laughter and tears abated fears...
now that we are here... by faith we persevere
It seems 'to take a village' to keep me in ink...
I appreciate each of you, all you do and think
Two, because of you, helped me want to stay...
The kindness of your ways, I still admire today
