MY LOVE
Tell me so I can hear and remember
Show me so I can see and feel
Hold me so I can smell and touch
Involve me so I can know and understand
Tell me so I can hear and remember
Say or write something pleasing
Show me so I can see and feel
Do little things that means so much
Hold me so I can smell and touch
Draw me in close to you, put your
arms around me with your face close
to mine, seeing me and I seeing you
Involve me so I can know and understand
Include me, count me in and take account
of who I am and my concerns so you do
not assume at all; but understand me.
Let me involve you and count you in too.
Let me take into account who you are
so I do not assume; but understand you.
So we fully know and sense each other.

Check points
If you want to check a nation
How much slobs are they
Do not go to their malls or supermarkets
Go straight to a public toilet of a town
If you want to see the race of women
How sophisticated are they
Do not go to their drawing room or at dining table
Go straight to the kitchen and see the sink
Do you want to check a race,
And see how intelligent are they?
Do not take into account their concrete buildings
Take account the poems they have written .

Today we live in dreadful days that truly test our faith,
When all about the truths of God men try to negate.
When leaders rule in governments and make lies into laws,
Where are God's people? Are they mute, won't fight His righteous cause?
Where are the ones who call themselves the living saints?
There's no protest that nulls the lies that Evil paints!
Is it that now Christians hide and just cower in fear
Safe in their comfort zones, let Falsehood reign, appear?
Christians would just sit in church but cannot speak out
When sin's made right and God denied, there's nary a shout.
His Word tells us we'll take account when we must testify,
And yet because we fear backlash we'd rather live a lie.
To him who knows what he must do, and yet he fails to do it-
There's reckoning, the scales could weigh and his reward forfeit.
Men will hate us because of Christ, for this we make a stand.
His truth must march in us, that's what our time demands!

Suddenly, he found himself floating through the air.
He saw no light and heard no sound, just darkness everywhere.
Trying to remember the place where he had been.
Although he wasn’t sure it seemed to him that he had sinned.
He had committed many crimes in just his few short years.
And been the cause of heartaches and many, many tears.
Guilty of offenses, he even had lost count.
Soon the man would have to face his sins and take account.
The man was given chances all throughout his life.
Lucky to find love, even he had a wife.
But soon he had destroyed their love and she was gone as well.
Plunging the man further into evil, where he fell.
Then the total darkness started turning bright.
He felt that he was being pulled into a warmer light.
That’s when he remembered the scene that had occurred.
Although it wasn’t very clear, just pieces that were blurred.
Again, he had been caught in sin but this time he would pay.
For all the lives he’d taken, this was to be his day.
There was no place for him to hide no place he could run to.
And as he felt the fires burn that was the time he knew.

Faith drives me to roll the dice
and move ahead a few.
Its a always been a game of chance
I battle on to get through.
Ponder my decisions
What assets do I own
Study the board in depth
Moving up to higher throne.
Everyone's so serious
Contemplating hard
Let's hear some laughter
Please let down your guard.
We all want control
or at least small amount
Its hard when we're all friends
Because we have to take account.
Monopoly creates
a world where we can dream
Even if its just a game
It allows us to let off steam.

Blessings…your beauty is, your sight is, your hair is, your smile is, your ability to
walk is, your wealth, your health, your family is, your home is, your life and all that
you have are blessings that you have received from God. To each person much can be
given to them in the beginning of their life and to whom what was given, it can also
be taken back. Each of us should take account of those blessings and be humble to
others we may come upon in our lifetime who have received much less in life to start,
for at anytime the same fate that they have may still be given unto you…for except
in death for that we all share the same fate.

If all I had left to live is twenty-four hours
I will plant a green garden with flawless flowers
I will pick for my friends and fans some red roses
I will be ready for that home more glorious than the galaxies
I will never be sorry and sad but be grateful and glad
For a life well spent with my family… mom and dad
I will thank God for making me fervent and faithful to the end
Before I finally fly, I will bid farewell to my foes and friends
I will take account of the lovely and lively life I’ve lived
I will say a sincere sorry to all those I have grossly grieved
I will pray for the hopeless and helpless men and women
I will ask God to save them from the devil’s deadly den
If I had one day left to join the holy angels that hail hallelujah!
I will make my heart and hands ready to sing and hail hosanna!

In our lives filled with lofty goals,
We may reach for much beyond our means,
And as interest is piqued and grows,
We sell wisps of notions as our pipe dreams,
Yet while news breaches concerned factions,
Of those who would off-hand discount our plan,
You may well consider these actions,
To be the final throes of a desperate man,
Watch me rush headlong at windmills,
Listen to my brave and salient battle cries,
For with nothing I easily afford the shills,
This puffery of pipe dreams which may sink or rise,
Take account of what may be lost,
Incredible credible reputations,
So to me the onus is tossed,
And I afford pipe dream facilitations,
But as prospect becomes tangible,
And peppered pipe dreams begin to spin,
Overt liability then manageable,
The need for my Quixotic services thin,
The writing’s on the wall distinct and clear,
Yet I long for the impossible it seems,
Where I keep the company of the grand seer,
And remain the nexus of fantastic pipe dreams.
- Before I get too much bad press here I want you to know
the term ‘Puffery’ means to build something up with flowery language.
