As you think of being dealt a rotten card,
and aspire toward what you wish to achieve,
and discover life is uncommonly hard,
consider - what you give is what you receive.
It's a challenging thought, but, in this regard,
I hope this God's truth, you sincerely believe.
Now, go forth to find that the love you create
will return doubly - it is never too late.
Winter’s chill is in the air, a frosty gasp
washing twilight in gentle, glistening songs
breathless dreams hesitate, rising from God’s grasp
hopeful hearts reach out, knowing their love belongs
wintery tongues tell their lies in glowing rhymes
washing twilight in gentle, glistening songs
each life is filled with blessings in pleasant times
I sincerely believe in His blazing fire
wintery tongues tell their lies in glowing rhymes
His love is taking me higher and higher
without Him, I’d be baffled by the wild storms
I sincerely believe in His blazing fire
because of this awesome love, who always warms
I keep praising the One who died on that cross
without Him, I’d be baffled by the wild storms
this love and grace I attempt to get across
Winter’s chill is in the air, a frosty gasp
I keep praising the One who died on that cross
breathless dreams hesitate, rising from God’s grasp
"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!"
~Paul J. Meyer
Go tell it to the free roaming birds,
soaring high over the highest peaks,
That I too can fly without the wings
or even a whiff of wind
across God’s beautiful blue sky
or sweep down playfully
upon the verdant valleys
and the rolling meadows,
I can perch on the flower-laden bough
or skim over the forest-clad ranges,
I can dive deep into the depth of the sea
and traverse the yonder shores—
All I have to do
to realize my wildest whims
is just to close my eyes and
I M A G I N E!

Pain
Trying to check my email today
I sit at my computer when I
Suddenly feel shards and rays
Up from my feet sharply pry
I rush for my pills to stop the awash
Of pain that I had not expected
It came on so fast that I was tossed
Into agony so deep it was never suspected
It seems to get worse day after day
Though meds I've been given
Docs don't have the guts to try and assay
The horrid world of pain that I live in
It seems new guidelines have been set
That keep docs from treating chronic pain
But their families won't feel bad I bet
They'll have relief from going insane
While the rest of us must try and go on
With our horrible lives forever
I wonder if life's worth this dreadful song
Should I try and pursue this vain endeavor
Truly in Christianity, I sincerely believe
And have paid all my many dues
I ask God this painful condition to relieve
But so far all my prayers are refused
Nor for pity do I beg of you
But what is the right answer
Must I endure such a life untrue
I would rather just die of cancer
It can heal all of us you know.
To believe is the truest richness;
For money cannot even save a billionaire,
That is the reality of mortal existence.
Our knees are the fastest road to paradise.
To run into oblivion is the slowest torture;
I'd rather fly spirit to that heaven waiting,
Knowing some of you know what I really mean.
So, quicker than thought I may be saying goodbye,
Yet I sincerely believe I'll be seeing you soon.
My dear angels of this life joining me in the light;
This best smile will be there to greet all of you.
If it weren't for my pride I'd beg you to come hold me.
Those embraces you've offered so many times I do now need;
I think I saw the end of my road when I awoke this morning,
Hoping last prayers will be answered with the face of my Rebecca.

The heights were reached
with the help of hasheesh
but the dancing and
the sound
has stopped
The crowd in the park
exits
and silence takes over
once again
Do you sincerely believe
that all pain
was negated by the deafening sound?
Well, it was great
but one must answer to fate
ONE MUST ANSWER TO FATE!
One thing in life that I've been taught
is that no one occupies the seat of the president without getting bought.
When Hillary Clinton was running for president
she kept going on and on about a National Health Plan
but after pharmaceutical companies donated generously to her campaign
a National Health Plan was never spoken of again.
If an independent were elected who would truly do the right thing
I sincerely believe that independent would end up being the victim of an assassin.

I watched you many times.
My heart cried out for you.
A world of your own,
And love your only crime!
I thought I was loved to!
Mother, how could I have ever known?
I heard your words call to me.
My soul truly loved you!
A world of handed down shame,
And your need to sincerely believe!
I thought I was needed to!
Mother, how could I have seen the very same?
I felt your warmest touch.
My mind wanted the mother in you!
A world of your fame,
And your want for so much more!
I thought I was wanted to!
Mother, what is it that I can I truly claim?
I prayed for you day and night,
My faith needed me to!
A world of mine I have inside to give,
And my need feels like my only right!
I thought I gave all of this to you!
Mother, I must have died so you could live!

I'm not able to hold in these rabid emotions. This razor cuts deeper than any ocean. I
cant describe my love and my hate combined, so I wish it can be just you and I. Your the
reason im able to move on. So I ignore false conclusions drawn. I can pronounce the
greatest gift is the indwelling of your radiant love.
This is why I sincerely believe your from up above. When we embrace it feels like im
outside of time and of space. Every time i wake up i look forward to seeing your
omnipresent face. I dread when we have to say goodbye, id give anything for just a few
more minutes of staring into your glistening eyes. Be silent and be still, hold my hand if
you will.
This everlasting bond makes me tightly hold on, its perfectly fine if you don't want to
respond. Oh, how I long to hold you in my arms, oh how id love to lie with you and glare
upon the infinite stars. we've come way too far to disembark. I dwell in your heart, since
the start, to the death, i will give you my very last breath.
