SAVOUR THIS, MY CHILD
Nothing reflects reality
Like God’s supreme beauty.
Look into the mirror, child,
And see His greatest reward:
Savour it in thanksgiving, for a while:-
No matter how many times you do,
You’ll always see God’s precious beauty
Looking back at you: this will always be true:-
Know that your beauty has its fragility, needing
To be anchored and solidified before it can be
Sanctified utility: codifying its glorifying liberty:-
I regret that our land has lost its joy.
People live in misery,
Working without reward.
They receive lies as if they were food,
And survive on tears alone.
Power rests in the hands of rulers,
While the people remain blind and unheard.
Leaders speak of love,
Yet they write stories of pain.
They lead citizens toward suffering.
People dream of salvation
To end their difficult situation.
Truth is buried in silence,
And no one dares to comment.
Like oil that boils over,
Anger rises among the people.
Yet those in power seem heartless.
Rulers act like angels,
Always wanting to be first.
They rarely seek advice,
Though their speeches are full of mistakes.
People need warriors to confront the lions;
They seek saviors for the jungle.
Who will defend them from these troubles?
blood pumps through body
Savior empties All of His
curse of Cain sprinkled
oxygenated my soul’s breath
I’m reborn in heaven’s womb
But, what if the sun, too, needs a savior?
Like an eternal gem that beams
upon dreary dawns set upon her,
draining every heavy lampshade
of stars within spheres.
A savior eternal, dawns on heavy stars…
~ Inspired by the poem "Sun too needs a savior" posted: 8/22/2023
At this stage of life,a lot I have learned
From the experiences,that I have gained
Believe in yourself, believe in God
He is the Savior, he is the Lord
Never be impatient, never lose hope
There is always a way for opportunities and scope
Hardwork and strong determination
Will help you achieve your passion
Have patience, never grumble
A lot of courage, you need to assemble
A slow and steady ,is never a failure
Success comes to one,who is a true believer
Wait for your turn, play your part
You will rise,in the sky,you will dart
The feeling after success is so great
The happiness is priceless, no one can rate
Be always there to support and encourage
Quit the path,leading to outrage...
Rescued from the Shadows of Ruin
My noble Sire Marcus Baracus, your legendary intervention has pulled me from the very jaws of ruin! I am eternally bound to your grace, for without your heroic shield, my cause would surely have perished in the shadows. My deepest gratitude is yours for the rest of my days!
If people listened
to the voice of conscience,
they wouldn't do insane things
to mess up their lives;
no amout of money
is worth the betrayal.
Reading from the Bible's pages,
we find out who did
just that in the quickest way.
Lord, greed replaced Judah's pity;
Lord, envy raged in his troubled soul!
Who's the King that promises Paradise
without asking anything in return?
Who's the Preacher that teaches us
to pray in the holiest way?
Do we smile, turn away, or frown?
Everything lost is vanity!
It's the Savior of Humankind,
bleeding for each sin,
for each wicked deed done;
it's the Savior of Humankind
taking our stained hand
to cleanse it of all guilt,
making it totally forget
what it led it to the wrong path!
Does a strong mind become weak
giving itself to useless fears...
instead of finding calm waters!
No amount of money
is worth the betrayal,
which one do we choose
not to be confined to scary Hell?
Those moments of elusive joys
won't last, throw them away!
You are my God
one Father, one Son, one Holy Spirit.
I lift you up and praise you.
You show me the way.
You speak the truth.
And you give me life.
When I am lost,
You find me and bring me home.
When I am uncertain,
You share your wisdom.
When my days are weary,
You bring me strength.
All my days, you are with me.
You have faith in me, when I have none in myself
You sustain me with hope when I fear all is lost.
Your love overflows within me, when
the depth of spirit runs dry.
I am nothing without you.
And I find no greater joy than sharing my life with you.
I have no greater gratitude for anything
than for the Grace you have given me.
And as I walk this trail that I call my life,
there is nothing I look forward to more
than to spend it with you,
knowing you are always by my side.
Thank you…

3.30.26
Savior of a fallen race in our darkness shines Your grace,
Through the mire of sin and death we await Your heav’nly breath.
Shepherd of our troubled hearts, Comforter as life departs,
Cling we to each promise sure, there to lean as faith endures.
Wake in us Your will to do, let our eyes in faith see You,
Turn our sorrow into song, raise our voices loud and strong.
Shield us from the tempter’s might, though our sight be dark as night,
Place our confidence in You, make our wayward spirit true.
Rescue us from apathy let this plea be plain to see
For the souls enslaved by sin never see the dark within.
Chase away each doubt and fear let us to Your Word draw near,
Safely in Your loving arms we are freed from all that harms.
In our stead for sins You bled for our souls Your life was shed,
Raised from death to life with You, grant us grace to live anew.
Lift our hearts to You in prayer, let us always find You there,
Take away each spot and stain, walk with us upon the plain.
I am damaged,
Ravaged,
Mismanaged,
Dismantling the old,
Life was growing cold.
Scolded by the heat,
I cant feel my feet,
Admitting sweet defeat.
May i eat from your table,
I'm barely able to rest.
Is there another test?
Pestered by the enemy,
It was within my own entity,
Hurting what I couldn't see.
I damaged the best of me,
Ravaged a perfect body,
Mismanaged my priorities,
Quietly waiting for the end to be.
Please forgive me my friend,
I hope there's time to mend,
Bending time to start again,
Doing better where I can,
Striving to be a better man,
Everyday sticking to a plan,
The human very resilient,
Sentient,
Heaven sent,
We represent our creator,
Changing now is better then later,
You are your own Savior.
There once was a man called POTUS
Who said God sent him to save us
But most people knew
That this really wasn't true
And they said they preferred the Locust
Yeshua, my Savior
Who saved me from death
Redeemed me forever
Gave life, hope, and breath
Yeshua my Master
Best King men could find
I’ll serve Him, no other
My Lord’s just and kind
Yeshua, my healer
When pains hedged my way
He stayed my soul’s keeper
Though I went astray
Yeshua, my teacher
Who led my heart home
His voice is my comfort
He called me His own
Yeshua, my treasure
My steadfast best friend
I’ll love Him forever
Each message He sends
Yeshua is all this
Yet even much more
My lover by promise
Who’s worth living for
i'm at the bottom of the ocean
forty feet down
stones tied to my feet
trapped
i'm drowning
air in my lungs
can't breathe
suffocating
vision going black
i feel you
your hands grab me
pulling my up
saving me
thirty feet down
there's hope
a sliver of it
i'm almost gone but
maybe we'll make it in time
twenty feet down
you're still holding on tightly
i trust you now
you'll bring me to the surface
be my savior
ten feet down
i'm relying fully on you
you're the one to save me
i feel safe
which is hard in the ocean
one foot down
so close
almost saved
i could touch the air i crave so badly
if i tried hard enough
but i've already used all my energy
relief washes away the fear
the pain
safety is so close
and then
you let go
after i finally trusted you,
you let me go
and back down i go.

When reality was unmoored and adrift
When life’s harshest winds ripped a rift
When ominous clouds loomed overhead
When anger leashed gloom tinged red
You were a ( ( (( VOICE )) ) ) of reason
When kindness and healing was sparse
When probable friendships were a farce
You gave me hope, you kept me grounded
When rebound of love’s alarms sounded

L of the sea
A whirling tsunami washed you ashore
A precious rock, I’d come to adore
Like colorful sea glass, I’m eased by you
A gem of a gift gallant and true
A treasured heart about to unfurl
I’m destined to be your pearl of a girl
Remind me, Lord – that You have heard, whatever comes, whatever this life brings, I know the King who writes His light over the spirit… gently revealing, a love that never leaves, a hope that always brings assurance of the King of Kings.
Let His blessings flow,
A river to sooth my soul
Lifting my heart, ‘tis all aglow
A spirit who’ll surely console
Let His blessings enthuse,
A joy who sparks the moon
Painting hearts in a gentle muse
Love that sing’s the sweetest tune
Let His blessings hush fears,
Writing the heart in affection
A life lived for Him, through the years
Remembering His love is perfection
Let His blessing still the shadows,
Caressing the spirit in a song
Revealing the One who once arose
To silence each tear, right all wrong
Let His blessings exalt
A kindness that comes from the heart
Writing the world without fault
His blessings of love will never depart
Let His blessings restore,
Every heart, every soul, everything
So that, this Jesus I adore
Is glorified – He’s my soul’s KING!
