I breathe! It's I my living soul
Challenging the inevitable
Life becomes me !
Still modest with self respect
I breathe each breath
Within the dark - I see
And I become one of Rock
I stand firm - I am whole
Whoa! The heavens profitable
Peculiar that same breath
May too , beauteous be - reflect
It's my skie' s hues drawing me
Mesmerizes the very prominence
In my last spoken word
May my reflections then state
The beauty of life's significance , Hence!
That heaven if it could can wait.

An object with faces six
A combination of values and variety mix.
A part of game,taken as challenge
Played for fun,not revenge.
Every roll of the dice
Needs some trick and attempt, wise.
The face with one, has a value small
Helps one win,stands tall.
The face with two has a pair
The credit both,equally share.
The face with three is a trio
That shows up ,with the right brio.
The face with four has two pairs equal
With two and two,that make a sequel.
The face with five,has a member odd,
Yet,is strong,oh! my God.
The face with three pairs is a six,
All in one frame, together fix.
Each face has its significance
That really makes a big difference.
The fate of a player depends on the dice roll
One needs to play wisely, to reach the goal...

If you could find beauty in a piece of chalk,
Others may not find you worth their talk,
But you know that you are the one,
And like you-there are just a few or none.
The beauty cannot be hidden,
It can create a smile in the face of even the bed-ridden,
All you need is to enjoy it,
And find if it is for your appreciation-fit!
Beauty knows no boundaries,
It is innocent and pure,
If you could understand that,
You won't get into anybody's false-lure.

A ADVENT
S BETHLEHEM STAR
The maker of the earth and skies
often used objects of small size
to teach His audience and explain
the deep truths that His Words contain.
One day He used a little child
to teach His students to be mild.
To occupy His kingdom grand
like children they must hold His hand.
The little ants storing supplies
can teach us all how to be wise.
With none to direct or compel
how orderly these creatures dwell.
The mustard seed, though very small
of garden plants they are most tall.
So, like a seed, God’s kingdom grows
exactly how? Only God knows.
A grain of sand tween mantle and shell
spawns pearls that for small fortunes sell.
Faith like a tiny mustard seed
can move mounts that our paths impede.
Small ideas, in curious minds,
have spawned inventions of all kinds.
A tiny thought, sown reaps an act,
that our destiny can impact.
A small act of kindness, heaven knows,
how far that simple action goes.
Only eternity will tell
how many souls it saved from hell.
So, do not despise tiny things
cherish the blessings each one brings.
By doing so the joy you’ll know
upon your countenance will show.
I am insignificant
in the scheme of things
God's world is big and beautiful
and full of wonder
I am none of those things
I struggle with if I am important at all
in the passing of each day
I am kind and I hope that will
change at least a minute of someone's day
I love fiercely, but sometimes love hurts
I feel deeply and in that, I am hurt
I see the hurt in people, because
I recognize the pain in their eyes
I will never change the world in a big way
but I may change the world around me
for the better, and if I do,
that will be my mark on the world!
Significance
In a tiny space,
Words are full of meaning; joy.
Capturing the heart.

An often said goal
Of meditative paths..
But seemingly an
Assumptive separation
Bedrocks a story:
A separate individual
Achieving said goal..
However~
As a story it retains

When the six days of creation were finished,
God’s vigor was in no way diminished.
But on the seventh day, He rested,
And with Adam and Eve, He feted.
God sanctified the seventh-day Sabbath,
so that man would remember his Maker,
while resting from life’s jostling and jabbing,
and in God’s rest refreshment partaking.
From day one to day six God was working,
So, none of those days could be the Sabbath.
That is why he said man should work six days,
and rest on His seventh-day Sabbath.
The Sabbath reminds us of creation,
the antithesis of evolution.
Sabbath is of all days the chiefest,
its devotees include no atheists.
Man was made in the image of God,
but because of sin, he became flawed.
God has a plan for man’s recreation,
open to all who seek His salvation.
The Sabbath celebrates recreation
and redemption from sin and damnation.
Because Christ completed salvation’s work
Humans can rest from their own worthless works.
