Jesus walked among men,
Emmanuel, chosen one,
Saviour to faithful,
Unswerving in His path,
Steadfast at our sides......
Inspiring ministry of God,
Sharing immortal blessings to all....
Hope for human future,
Omnipotent divine sent,
Preacher and teacher,
Eternal love for us!
Who knows why the waters never end, flowing deeply into running rivers and streams,
A constant current, unlike fleeting tastes, that fades with overindulgence and loss of their dreams,
Who knows what night conceals beneath its starry cloak?
When does the day surrender to the inky dark?
But words, like echoes, climb within and evoke,
Unforgettable memories, leaving their mark.
Who knows why time, with its relentless hand,
Fixes and sets all things in their rightful place?
Yet love remains a constant in this shifting land,
Seated within the heart, a steadfast embrace.
When coming face-to-face with the enemy,
Be sure to be equipped for the violent fray.
The proper armor is a necessity,
If you are to live to fight another day.
When the foe’s hot, deadly darts of fire are hurled,
None can pierce the spiritual armor worn.
The shield of faith and the sword, God’s word unfurled,
Will protect from evil’s mortal threat and scorn.
The strong armor of faith shields the believer.
It will not fail, though the battle will be fierce.
Stand firm and steadfast against the deceiver,
Be a faithful servant; God will provide rest.
Wear the belt of truth and salvation’s helmet,
The breastplate of righteousness around the waist,
And feet of zeal for the gospel add credit.
Outfits the Christian for a most sacred quest.

I am the hush before a winter dawn,
moonlight cloaked across a sleeping field.
I catch the sun in quiet particles,
mirrors of truths you never thought to hold.
I am the glint in a falcon’s eye,
the frost that seals an unspoken vow--
quiet , steadfast,
yet quick to strike into light.

“With patience and perseverance
We can win the hardiest race.”- By author
**************************************************************
Patience and Perseverance
On the journey of life when we embark
Let patience allied with perseverance
Be the lighthouse, our path to lit with spark
And permeate our spirit with endurance;
When wilful whirling winds waft down our soul
Let us not yield to dark clouds of despair
But forge ahead steadfast towards our goal
Without a single shaggy seam of scare;
Let`s not try the hilltop at once to clinch
As we may tumble down a dizzy slope
But, move forward step by step, inch by inch
With patience and perseverance to cope;
With patience we earn the Lord`s divine grace,
With perseverance we win the tough race.
Dreams fade not away;
Our active efforts bring us
The crown of glory.
An acorn in the ground growing
A mighty river flowing
The sun rising each day
It shines and lights the way
Starry stars in the sky at night
Dreamy thoughts of taking a celestial flight
The steadfast beat in your chest
A reason to keep going and do your best
Staunch is our Lord, friend anywhere,
True friend, like jewel, precious and rare,
Everlasting blessings guides,
Accept true love at our sides,
Devoted to leading to divine,
Founded great faith, yours and mine,
Acknowledge each human race,
Steady path, His immortal face,
Trust God's bridge to mortal grace.
There are things in life
That darkness overshadowed light
No matter how much you paddle and paddle
And you feel you are sinking
You still have to try to do good things to other
Don't worry cause darkness is just temporary
It may triumph but only for a while
And if we endure trials and remain steadfast
Life is so kind that the situation may reverse
Positive outlook in the midst of adversity
Happen for a reason, in the end is good for us
It's beneficial may both financial or spiritual in the end.
Keep steady life
Change is the only constant
In this world; be strong.
Make melody always to the Lord
with praise to befit the upright
a lover of righteousness and justice
God's steadfast love is full of light
The Lord in His power made the heavens
even the waters are put in a heap
be sure to stand before God in holy awe
consider His majesty, moves one to weep
All the nations God brings to nothing
for God's counsel forever will stand
the blessing of God comes on those
who know God's hand upon their land
Looking down from heaven God sees man
on His throne He sees all of the earth
observing each and every deed
the Lord alone can bring new birth
The Lord is our help and shield
for we trust in His holy name
His steadfast love be upon us
we hope in God forever our aim
Psalm33
People change from time to time
But time does not change for a dime
Time is money, that’s the slogan
Time is a serious and stalwart weapon
People change every hour of the day
But time remains steadfast everyday
Every hour, every minute and every second
Time has no hand, yet it is in high demand
People die every day, as more are born to die
This is the truth; I cannot tell a lie
Live and enjoy every second of the day
Because time is always slipping away
Time does not give change
People die and change all the time
That’s fine; that’s not a crime
Time possesses an unflinching range.

Except in the darkest room
In it a figure would loom:
No time to cameras zoom,
Present as clean: filthy room…
Does capture like a good pen
Pimples up to painful ten,
All the smoke-stained teeth of Ben
And proves not the cock a hen…
Mirror: the Steadfast Biro
Misses out not feared terror:
Things which mortify Sarah,
Even a typing error.
Eyes which had ceased to taste sleep,
The ones, no alcohol, weep,
Pairs upset by an old jeep;
Men who don’t sow but do reap!
A failure to watch one’s weight,
A leaving of things to fate:
One who’d for casual sex wait;
Also, who shall become great!
I can’t feel my knees.
I’m moving in earnest to stay afloat, yet
I can’t stop my heart.
Palpitations oncoming like waves in a tsunami, and
I can’t catch my breath.
I’m breathing as if it’s my last breath alive, but
I feel everything.
The weight on my shoulders, the water filling my lungs, so
I freeze.
Is time wandering without me, or
Am I drowning?
I feel everything all at once like a crash of a wave, but
The receding of the tide fills me with hope until the waves wash it away.
I am not okay.
