F-orget all bitterness and move on
O-ther’s failure gives one to two-ways lesson
R-elationship is drab without challenges
G-rowth hails from discoveries of one’s weaknesses.
I-nscrutable depth of opinions must keep us insensate
V-irtues and values are divine to perpetuate.
E-rase spotted anger, pains, scars…let them go
N-estle in God’s forgiving hands who loves us so.
E-xemplify our Savior’s humility and generousness
S-hake off the virus of pride, acceptance bring lightness
S-hare peace for our freedom and pure happiness
upon the Rase a troublesome crone
who meddled in the Rasen folk
for she a witch!
a witch! their slant and well
she laid upon a cow a cursied blight
a cursied spell
and lo would not this neighbour’s cow
go to the milking parlour so
this neighbour’s daughter fraught and fair
to seek a wise man, she that hour
left in haste to hear of words
and met with him though quite by chance
for he appeared to her when needed
invited in somewhat expected
and knew did he of her unrest
as heating in the fireplace a red hot poker
readying
and stoked, enflamed the fire roared
and from by the Rase the witch was heard
to scream and cry
you see now in her weakened state
another troubled Rasener
took heed upon the lowered crone
and struck her hand with a blade had he
and brought to her all of her eves
that drew the blood of taintedness
and scream once more
then again made three
no more trouble will she cause
said the wiseman confidently
and the witch skulked away
her powers lost
made free were then the Rasen folk
and the cow went in to give them milk
Listen in silence
Inward reflection
Friendship with the Divine

What would be the state of mind of a young man coming back home after war?
__________________________________________________
Cares and worries cast away
Overflowing with joy since break of day
My head heavy seeing many dead
Incessant shots, much blood shed
Now excited like a small child
Going home to unwind tensions piled
Back in my streets, I see happy faces
A joyous welcome, warm embraces
Chatting with family, eating home food
Kneeling down to God, expressing gratitude
Humming a song, glad to be alive and free
On my bed I sleep carefree
Merciful lord end all wars
Erase war memories, war I deplore

A-ttacking the crowded area.
