"My soul is the peaceful spiritual gem inside me, needing peace from time to time from this crazy world." By Poet
My soul is the peaceful spiritual gem inside me,
lack of peace comes sounding like a huge buzzing bee.
These rumbling sounds makes my body want to flee,
flee to a peaceful life and not for all the glee.
I know when my soul is in need of rest,
as I put it gently back into my chest.
This crazy world has me all stressed,
now my soul needs to pass the peace test.
Even when body and soul are dressed,
quietness and prayer will fill me with new zest.
The spiritual gem inside me,
sometimes sounds like a huge buzzing bee.
This rumbling sound makes me want to flee,
flee to peace and not for glee.
I know when my soul needs to rest,
as I put it back into my chest.
This crazy world has it dressed,
now my soul needs to pass the test.
Even when we are both all stressed,
quietness and prayer will fill us with new zest.
It's who you live with
the questions that I answer
the stress is too much
Remember, you are not alone.
So rest in the LORD and
wait patiently on Him.
Enjoy every moment of today
recognizing that each experience
requires your best, not extra, effort.
Let go of your anxieties and
let God fight against those
annoying spirits that fight against you.
Accept the fact that change is constant.
Life’s ever-increasing challenges
demand action – not alarm.
eXpect aggravations and temptations.
Their purpose is to steal your joy
and destroy your peace.
Exercise your faith in God to perfect
everything that concerns you. Ask and
expect Him to show you his power to
turn those unhealthy feelings into
extraordinary blessings.
Having done all you know to do,
just stand still and behold the
salvation of the LORD!

A trochee,
Dum-da,
is used by a poet
tho' very few know it;
a tro-chee is
self-referential.
An iamb,
da-Dum,
to confuse or amuse
or generally abuse;
pronounced i-amb,
is instead a trochee.
A spondee,
Dum-Dum,
is like a black hole;
somewhat hokey,
pronounced spon-dee,
is always a trochee.
A dactyl,
Dum-da-da,
like the anapest
from Budapest,
pronounced dac-tyl,
is also trochee.
And an anapest,
da-da-Dum,
as I understand,
in another fun factyl,
pronounced an-a-pest,
is a dactyl!
Blessed be those who eat
And stressed be those in need
One should confess sins of soul indeed
Food for thought digest
Colorful beautiful minds bloom best.

Solid words liquefied;
Bound and told horrified;
Ancient own;
Dooley honed ;
I am that child

YOU'RE KNOWING NOT HOW TO COPE?
NOT HAVING THE RESOURCES, A JOB, OR EVEN HOPE?
FEWER FUNDS? ENVIRONMENT CHANGED?
A LOT OF PLAYING OF VIDEO GAMES?
A SITUATION WHERE EATING MORE?
STRESSED AND DEPRESSED?
A CLOSED DOOR?
DON'T GIVE UP
DON'T THROW THE TOWEL IN
JESUS CHRIST IS HERE
FROM THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE END
TRUST IN HIM
KEEP THE FAITH
PRAYERS AT ALL TIMES
YOU SHALL WIN THIS RACE.
PRAYERS TO ALL
OUR SYMPATHY FOR THE LOSS

"Stressed" is just “desserts” spelled backward
Do not fret, things will make a reverse traverse
Bet that's a new one on you
A new one on me too
The English language is filled with stuff reverse
It is hard to breath,
When there's no where left to go,
And you drown in tears
Being stressed out
Is what causes illnesses
So, you start a special diet
And you workout daily
To relieve the
Pinned up stress
But you’re also in
A relationship that’s
Stressing you out
So, even though you’re trying
To relieve stress
You’re also still stressed
Because you love that person
What’s the solution
It’s easier said than done.
Serious labour, we get boreD
Though the task, burdensomE
Real struggle... they oppresS
Enlivened thus, our progresS
Soon, with us they'll jubilatE
Sure now, theirs the poweR
Eventual desserts, we awaiT
Delectation upon the stresS
Muscles in the body tighten up
temper flares, wrong words
come out of your mouth
You just want everyone
to leave you alone.
You cry, needing God.
You ask for strength
to get you through
the storm that has
tangled your body.
Then all of a sudden
You come up with a solution
A hot fudge sundae topped
with mounds of whipped cream
with a cherry on top.
Hmmm..Your body starts to
soften and your soul calms down.
Stressed,,,,desserts
a good solution to
calm the body,,along with
our heavenly Father.
"stressed" is just “desserts” spelled backward
Do not fret, things will make a reverse traverse
Bet that's a new one on you
A new one on me too
The English language is filled with stuff perverse
