Short Be Gracious Poems

What did I ever do, except be gracious, noble, and true?
You suffer a blindness and cannot see kindness,
only thieves wanting something from you....

Please do this one thing for me
don't walk around so suspcious
stop and breathe
take in everything with the correct frame of mind and clear eyes
to everything and everyone
be gracious...

Be gracious
A smile is just for you
When happy or when blue.
Just wear it on your face
It will sooth the pace
It shines in the eyes
 It has no antidote and 
It twilight in the skies.
Our passion lasts if we kiss it
And it confesses.
Just smile.

             (Selma Imene Kapiye)...

Lord be gracious to us each and every day
guide us in all that we do and say
lead us by  your spirit

let the glory and goodness of your love
fill us with joy, peace and hope

and bless us each and every day.

I am working on remission.

I am hoping for permission. 

To seek relief. 

From all this grief. 

Please be gracious. 

For my love is spacious. 

Please allow my hope to enhance. 

And for my condition to no longer advance. 

So that I do not have to sign. 

And relinquish what is left of my mind....

hunting of tigers,
should be banned,
they also have have the right,
to live in this world,
they can also fight,
their life is not in our hand.
global treasure ,rare and precious,
now tigers wil be more cautious,
if we will will stop killing them,
they will be gracious.
tigers are decreasing day by day,
we should save them ,as i say...

Be grateful for what you have: family, friends, the floor under your feet
Don't try to change folks: Be gracious and respectful to people you meet 
Build faith in yourself: Always try your absolute best -- repeat and repeat

My beloved count your blessings, 
Not your Sorrows
Be thankful for what you have 
And not what you borrow 
Be gracious and give even 
If it's just a little being selfish and fitting
Bless those less fortunate
Embrace no less those needy
Be encouraging and graceful 
Redeem your confession

Just to be in your embrace.
To see your face have a smile, 
that everyone for miles can see.
With your eyes that are bright as can be. 
Will you be that way with me?
I guess we will have to wait and see.
And what will be, will be. Will
you have the patience or will you
turn out to be tenacious?
Will you be gracious as a flower,
Because deep down you know 
my love is true power!...

As we sit around the table this year, 

Let us not forget those not with us 

Our family and friends, our service men too

Let us remember those lost and their loved 

ones as well

Let us give thanks to God, our heavenly
 
Father, for the things granted to all of us in

 this truly trying time

Let us be gracious and kind to one another

 each and everyday as we go on our way...

Gracious* love's good treat of no trick's deceit
Great kindness-sharing midst candies to eat
Grand delight for kids, absolutely sweet
Godly hallowed win: selfishness’ defeat.

*Numbers 6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee.

I suppose that I'll never understand


     Why one would pen slam for foe or friend


          If writing slam is one's bent

          
               Be gracious in how you vent


                    It may come back to bite you in the end

The dying know the time’ value all too well,
Know how precious a second is once it’s turned an hour.
The last words and self-forgiveness’s power,
Don't hold on to those who are meant to solely pass you by, 
don’t call the lesson they were there to teach you a lie.
Don't wish harm upon anyone who couldn't stay, 
be gracious, and send them with love on their way.
Life is too precious, too short to carry the agonizing hate....

Some day I’ll knock at your door
To the peaceful heavenly Kingdom,
And I hope you won’t scorn and ignore
The soul waiting for a warm welcome.

And don’t delay opening this gate
Due to my sins or wrongdoing,
Don’t tell me to go away or wait, 
Give your grace to the poor being.

And turn a blind eye to my weakness,
And I beg you not to enumerate 
All my mistakes and faults. Be gracious
When I shudder with fear at your gate…...

A Loud Amen

So let this be a lesson to some;
When cupboard is down to its last crumb
And nothing else can you now afford
You must start praying to the Lord.

It doesn't take any effort at all
Now matter how large or so small;
Let prayer come from heart and soul;
Be gracious and God will meet each goal.

Object of poem has always been
To have God save us from all sin
Then over evil He will let us win;
End prayer by saying a loud Amen.

For
a girl
with shy smile,
bit assertive,
sweet tooth, talkative,
foolishly true-speak rude,
learning to be gracious kid
polite and well-mannered quickly
evolving to responsible teen
with changing family was tightrope walk.
'Walk the tightrope again' said the tough fate
so as adult balancing fears, tears,
terrified of making mistakes,
choices in the heart of hearts,
learnt to be polite, I
carry on tight-lipped
along ebb tide
of precious
divine
Life....

The Color of a Man’s Character
We all bleed
And cleave to 
Those we leave

We all smile when we are greeted
And cry when we are mistreated

Why do we choose to abuse others 
For the color of their skin?

Why do we think that only 
Our own color should win?

We’re all the same underneath 
We all deserve peace 
When we lay down to sleep

Love one another while you can
Show your son how to be gracious
The color of a man’s character 
Is how he treats his fellow Man....

Life is a Bumpy Ride
My granddad would always say with pride
But you need not live in anxiety and fear
With God in the driver’s seat and in your hand a beer
So don’t you worry when you reach a narrow bend
There is always a hand waiting to lend
There will be sweet memories that will make you smile
And some people who would make you throw up bile
The lessons learnt will be precious 
But God will always be gracious
Just don’t lose sight of the road 
But be focused and tenacious
