Thank you 
for caring
for sharing
for daring
to confront my wary
with steadfastness scary
at first.  The blary
noise lyin' me squarely
in treacherous areas
is soothed by your clarity.

Preesh ya muchly

Steadfast

Unwavering

Holding fast Scriptures’ truth

Yielding not to vain dogmas’ threats…

Christ-propped.

*Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.

August! Most days uphold the Leo Sign-

Urge those then born- to follow Lion's line.

Grand confidence and steadfastness are prone-

Unless the sting of arrogance is shown-

Sensed not accepting critics and their slights;

The August Lions share mixed-bag delights....

That you married me
That the sun rose, the day after you died
That first snowdrops still blossom in the cold
That winter, depression, grief and frustration are not winning
That my smallness matters, when I stand beneath the starry sky
That purity, faith, hope, love, truth, steadfastness and kindness always win...

Quick and slow, pulsed to jibe and rudder
Late dancing in the luminous waves
The boats angle the cresting froth tops

Sails arched, full burst in the briny
Air paces vastly to horizon’s rim
The hazing glow of sky to sea

They bob and streak, the prows steadfastness
Each sailor guides to the compass, knowing
The importance of destination...

faith
                    spiritual, disloyal 
      believing, converting, confessing 
steadfastness, sincerity, goodwill, poise
     dignifying, embellishing, justifying 
                     elegant, gallant 
                            grace

The occupied

Never negotiate 
With the conquering invaders
He will think 
You are pathetic and ask for more.
He will respect you
If you refuse him
And have contempt
If you give way.
If he built a house in your garden
 Is constructed on your land
Eventually, it will be yours
You sign no contract
You gave no ground
In the end
The occupier leaves
Defeated 
By your steadfastness....

Oh, please Lord
My God
My God
Create in me (in me)
a pure heart
And Lord renew a steadfastness

My God, your spirit inside me
This your breath of life
I've witness
Now I'm a living soul

My God
My God
Create in me (in me)a pure heart
And renew in me a steadfast spirit
within
within
within me
within
within
within me

anchored working faith's steadfastness...

for children's* service-fruitfulness.

There is a tree I planted 
Not Long ago 
From a seed it started 
Then in a tree it grew. 
Yearly it would bloom and blossom
Dropping its fruits for those to know
There is abundance
When we start to sow
Success does not come by virtues
Nor is it etched by desires
But it is to ignite ones passions 
And let it be realised
There is steadfastness and surety
In the things we do 
But we must carry them out diligently.
Lets get the clue....

Time was when love was very near, lying there in waiting.
In dawdling youth I looked away, with heart and head debating.

The mind grew weary after while, conceding heart had won.
The heart extended welcome, but ‘twas found that love had gone.

A love that is not nourished will simply fade away.
Its steadfastness must be cared for and tended every day.

Improvident the lass or lad who holds love carelessly.
It’s rare the love that can endure rejection endlessly.
