A Crisis of Faith Teaches You God Is Never Late

[Written 5 February 2003]

When you pass through a Crisis of faith
God will show you His riches through Christ
Death to oneself is linked to your situation

Confusion can bring an intrusion of truth into your life
So the protection against disorder
Can establish a border and
Can change the order of the day
The key is to pray and
Lay yourself down before the Lord!
Then, soon you know that to pass
Through a trial is to expand your territory!
The defense of God is the essence of Love!

A session of pain
Teaches you to maintain and
A crisis of faith will
Teach you that God is never late!
As a result, you will see the wonderful attributes of Jesus!

Earth Teaches Us To Be Humble

Let's go outside!
Look at the mountains.
The deep blue sea.
The seasons changing.

Jump from the thunder.
Feel the ground shake.
Hide from the hurricane.
Run away from the lava of the volcano.

We thought, we were:
Better than the trees
above the animals,
the owners of earth...

Earth is our extension.
If she is sick, we are sick. 
She is the womb of creation.
Surrender to her.

Love can heal many wounds.
Raising our vibration. 
We will be helping 
in a harmonious way.

We are just a small cell;
In this great consciousness
body called "Earth".
Bow down to the mother!

Molly Teaches Me

Molly knows more than I shall ever know
She is sixteen going on twenty-two
She tells me the difference between bi and pan
She can fix my phone and computer too
I am lucky to know her

Killing With An Epigram

If a man can't educate his child
He teaches the same to fight!
It may as well grow up to be wild
And things may still turn out right!

Empathetic Faerie Teaches Ebony Cat a Better Way

Ebony Cat went from person to person demanding love
He hit them, smacked them, scratched them, spit from above.
The more he tried for attention, the more annoyed they got.
He stayed in a kennel so long, he thought he would rot.

An empathetic faerie who had a love for cats saw this.
When she came to help him, he met her with a mean hiss.
You have a lot of love to give, she said. Let me show how.
By the time she was done, he was adopted with a happy meow.

Experience Teaches

I am tough enough I heard you say
Just fronting up to duty every day
Seeing things that make others cringe
A cleansing ale is drunk sometimes in a binge

And I went from year to year
Whilst I held back all those tears
And during the night I see them still
The maimed and dead a butcher’s bill

When you see me know this now
I stood for you in my know-how
And not complained just made it so
But when alone the emotion shows

There is no need to weep for me
My life I’ve made is plain to see
And when my final day has come
Say only of me RIP your duty is done.

Sir Frederick Teaches a Lesson

I plan to provoke him, Uncle Jim said.
He did a great job too, really riled him up.
But it was no use, Frederick was totally trained.
I should know. I trained him myself.

I am up to the challenge, offered Grandpa Pete.
I did not intervene, amused as he called him names.
He picked up a stick so I shot it out of his hands with a cannon.
You always did overreact he said. He huffed into the house, mad.

My totally exasperating sister came out next to join the frivolities.
I waited until she got within a foot of Sir Frederick. 
Sic Her! I screamed. Remembering all the times she had bullied me.
She was gone in seconds; just a fizzle left. 
I guess that taught her not to tease a dragon
Or a sister

Sophie Teaches Me To Nap

Not wanting to nap is almost impossible today 
Sophie dog is older, a black cocker, and naps most of the time.
As I sit at my computer, freezing, she lies at my feet snoozing.
Each Z she cuts reminds me that curling up under covers sounds good.
School is cancelled, for we have four fresh inches of new snow.
My feet are freezing. Either I get on another pair of socks or
I curl myself around Sophie Dog and cut my own Z’s.

The Headless Horseman Teaches Again

A cold, creepy Halloween night.
What Katrina found gave her a fright.
It was the head of Ichabod Crane-
Of headless horseman fame.
She waited for him to ride by.
Closed her eyes and held his head way up high.
The next day Crane was back teaching his class.
As if 230 years never passed.

Failure Teaches Success

His result slip showed  he had failed
Friends celebrated their success
But his parents and some he shamed
Had pinned  on him their hopes and focus

His Dad said "For negligence, it's the price
 Your direliction is  hard to repair
So change your style to do better in life"
And he sat like a mountain in despair

Son forgot laxity and his ugly past
And set himself to make it remember
Reformed for next exam and fixed fast
"Failure teaches success," he would utter

No more sorrow and shame he'd bear
No faltering, no fall  but bright future
Bad experience lessoned him to dare
And avoid loss of face  through failure

He abandonned excess video games
And concentrated in his text books
Made alterations to feed his study aims
And set Success like bait on his hooks

His consistent work bought him success
The year ended with earned love and praise
His negligence was just like an abcess 
 That of failure was just his life's phase

Life Teaches

Life Teaches.

In remorse,I can feel the spasms,
of the uncouth experience,
this world has cast on me.
These unstiched patches have 
drawn me to more kindness.
Spontaneously,words drop like milk and honey,
so that this world is a sweeter place to live in.

A Three-Year Old Teaches Joy

A Three-Year Old Teaches Joy

The singers start their festive, upbeat song, words ringing out.
	Their jubilant voices fall upon my restless waiting ears.
Hearing her grandmother's voice her little face beams.
	Her bright crisp spring dress makes my eyes smile.
Every spirit starts to respond and stir to the tune.
	Echoing lightly off the walls, I can almost see the sounds.
Radiant locks of blond curls bounce as she leaps from her mother's arms.
	Roiling river currents of thought calm as my soul watches her.
Everyone watches as she dances up and down the center aisle.
	Effortlessly, her legs carry her smoothly as my eyes follow her.
She holds her arms up like a little ballerina, a broad smile covering her face.
	She leaps lightly her beautiful dress flowing around her.
Age filled hands reach out; she places her little flawless hands in theirs.
	As I watch her spin beneath those connecting hands, my eyes moisten.

Living Life Teaches Me New Realities

Living life teaches me new realities,
sometimes all gets dark and unclear;
in this labyrinth I get lost and fear
that what I've built will surely crumble,
but starting over gives no guarantee,
no lasting hope to others or me;
how strong is the need to save all,
'though wisdom points to alternatives!

What are the secrets of the illuminati?
They won't share them with anyone;
be a part of them and wealth is yours...
have you noticed how powerful they are?
Humble folks are banned from riches,
and this reality forces many into poverty...
I'll take any opportunity before it's gone;
may my fortunes amass to end despair!

God Teaches His Children

God Teaches His Children

We are traveling on His path,
Have the Laws that we can live by,
As we become ourselves,
As our past is something to say good bye to.

God teaches His children ,
Our father's hell did go by,
God will feed them with His words
God is the one we pick, the one will stay with.

Everybody ask us why, we told them, They would cry,
So they look to God and sigh, now they know He loves them.

We are all of tender years,
We can't know the fears that our fathers went through,
So please help them with your faith,
Yes they seek the truth before their time comes.

Oh can we hear or do we really care,
Oh can't we see they all must be free to,
God will teach His children how to believe.
How make a world we can live in together.
