To feast on every vision

Serenity upholds me

Tradition sudden crashes down
    Who still upholds it best leave town

  There's a reason it's come undone

It is important that a household 
upholds the renewal of life, 
They get rid of the errors, 
having a humble mind. 
They obey God's law, 
as they focus 
on serving 
the Lord 
God....

I pledge allegiance to to the flag
and the corporations
which it upholds
(and to the gmo's and burgers for which it stands)
One nation under corporatism,
indivisible,
with prisons and earphones for all....

Faith*
in God
secures soul
triumphing midst
doubt…

Hope
upholds
Christ-gripped heart
to overcome
gloom.

*Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

umbrella folding roof, 
usually mounted 
upon a wooden pole, 
upholds wet proof fabric. 
used to keep the sun out, 
unexpected showers, 
useful to keep in car.

I wish had the pure heart as you say
I get tempted in various ways
I do have dark thoughts, filthy desires
But amongst all these 
There is little ray of light
A glimmer of hope
That upholds my strive
to keep whatever innocence left in me- Alive...

fib is yet a fabric'd fiction
in th' mind whence tension
th' heart whereof upholds such fact?
or maybe not; for what lies ahead 
never hear! hear! the inner dept 
an cere beyond nerve can hold
for what once was con now its old
heard no more ; tho' hope it an't true
their hight yet indites a crew...

Live on now and dont confide
The swell of pain for now to hide
If pain resides it's past repair
This rain of tension fills the air
Within a life I am the case
Light fullfills the time of grace
Render torture, a new fuel
Fresh wounds drip ashes scarlet and cruel
Dull light upholds this doom
Now and forever this feeling will loom......

B-rave and faithful servant 
I-s fighting against the lies; 
E-arly June twenty-seventh, 
N-o fear is found in his eyes. 

M-oving on toward the crown, 
A-ll he upholds is God's truth; 
C-limbing up every ladder, 
A-s he wants the labor's fruit. 
L-ove, faith, and hope 
I-ntensify his being valiant; 
N-othing can twist the mind 
O-f the faithful servant....

dear faith* of mine…
depends
definitely on the LORD Who
directs and
distinctively upholds stance as my spirit 
drawn nigh to Christ is…

delighted to

Imagine a long Winter of wars -
Multitudes of people on all fours,
Hiding under tables by the scores.
Ice cold instability.

Head-tilting species, in disbelief.
Poor bowls are empty, no relief.
Not even handed a bone, as aperitif.
Huddled in fur.

Dirty snow, and the secrets it holds -
The bombs, bullets, knives it molds;
Brutality, snarling, & corpses upholds.
Imagine the horror....

God opened my eyes
at His command
I raised up my body
and got to my feet on which I stand

He wanted me to see
the beautiful day
and all the wonderful blessings
that would come my way

No matter the weather
or any rough spots that may lie ahead
this day was a gift
and I had nothing to dread

So, I welcomed the day
as it began to unfold
the Lord's spirit surrounded me
and my spirit it upholds...

COPLA OCHO: This Bad Guy World

Think you this World upholds Justice
Or stands for Principle that’s right
Fool not yourself

Everything’s in place: throw no dice
To make this World go round alright
Fool not the Self

Life’s like a never-ending film
With its patched-up plot come unstuck
In your dream true

In films Bad Guy’s chances are slim
Think now how real life turns his luck
To win right through

In the deepest hole;
My hand raises the soul;
In the darkest night;
My torch bears the light.

In the midst of despair;
My kindness upholds the fair;
In the cruelest sorrow;
My salvation is a better tomorrow.

My name, your refuge;
My love, flowing deluge;
My home, your sanctuary;
My river, single estuary.

I am the way;
The itinerary of everyday;
I am the life;
The passion ending strife;
I am the truth;
The wisdom set forth....

Prevailing midst revival triumph*

our grateful hearts, gripped with grace

exalt the Lord Who upholds our faith 

toward blessed reaching-out pursuits

marked by His love and mercy

while we surmount life-building trials.

Psalm 106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

The strength of my
muscles compose me,
the sharpness of my
mind upholds me but
my love for you makes
me weak. The muscles
of my heart are no 
strength for you and
I'm left weaken by the
way I feel for you.

As you pilot my heart, 
you control it's thought                       
and it's you that steers
me, move gears in me 
and inspires me to love 
you unconditionally. The 
rhythm of my heartbeats 
plays you and the changes 
of its sound can only be 
made or break by you....

Hail the hero who embraces troubles.
He does not make troubles.

He may be challenged by adversities.
He would rather ignore all trivialities. 

He would strive to make history.
He is willing to die for others to tell his story.

He upholds and treasures his inferiors
He upholds and pleasures his superiors.

He is the first to give, no matter the stake
He is always the last to take.

His contentment knows no bounds. 
He is the true leader, he can go for countless rounds....
