Short Rials Poems

August a month of birthdays and death.
Upon the death of my soulmate's breath.
Gifts of love, a grandson's birthday.
Use of time together summer play.
Stillness, unending time of fill strife.
Trials which are to come in my life....

B-reathe not your last, 
E-arly Monday first of May; 
T-rials in life are suffocating, 
H-eave a sigh of relief everyday.

L-ive another fresh morn, 
A-fter the sleepless night; 
S-tart with a bright hope, 
T-o set everything aright.
U-se the brand new day, as the time is flying fast; 
A-im to see the morrow, breathe not your last....

J-anuary twenty-ninth day
E-rases the cold night; 
A-fter the dusk is gone, 
N-ew dawn leaves the twilight.
E-vening chill disappears, 
T-roubles begin to vanish; 
T-rials, pain, and heartaches
E-ventually diminish.

E-arly Sunday morning, 
B-irds say they're not a toy; 
A-s you hold the chirping gliders, 
L-et your eyes and ears enjoy....

J-ust don't let your walk go astray, 
A-nytime and anywhere; 
N-ever ever go afield, 
E-ven during bad weather.

M-ake the right choice, 
A-s you tread on the horizon; 
T-rials twenty-first of May
A-im to give good reason.
V-iolent wind in the air
I-s making the trees sway; 
L-et your life stay in focus, 
L-et not your walk go
A-stray....

G-od knows best for man, 
L-earn to be submissive; 
E-ternal Father is omniscient, 
N-ever be blindly 
N-aive. 

G-od knows best, it's true, 
A-s we ought to understand; 
R-ecognize His wisdom and might, 
G-ladly obey His command. 
A-llow your life to endure 
N-othing but the test; 
T-rials June sixth are lessons, 
A-lmighty God knows best....

S-olid faith is etched in stone, 
E-ven your firm hope; 
T-rials and tribulations
H-ave not crushed your goal or scope.

M-any things have changed, 
O-n the twenty-seventh of July; 
N-ot for a single moment, your trust will never die.

P-repare for the worst, 
A-lmighty God won't leave you alone; 
J-ust stand strong all the time, 
E-ke out to be etched in stone....

J-anuary twenty-eighth Saturday, 
E-vening chill is gone; 
N-ew light that shines
I-s right above the horizon.
S-ame and mutual love
O-f the husband and wife
N-ever will be broken even during hardship and strife.

&

C-ouple for a lifetime, 
R-egardless of the weather; 
I-nclement clime may come, 
S-weet still for worse or better.
T-rials and temptation won't let them go separate ways; 
Y-es, they remain faithful forever in God's grace....

Strong, I am. Strong, I will stay, perpetually
Trials and tribulations; adversities, they seem to
Roll off my back, like dew drops on a lotus leaf
Ordeals, I leap over them all like a grasshopper. When
Noosed by life's halo, I always pry my neck free. By the
Grace of God, I'll continue to persevere. Strong, indeed
