Adoration to Mary:
Mother of Temperance
Our Mother in Heaven, we adore you
Our Mother Mary – Mother of Temperance – a Christian Virtue
Receive this adoration from your children
An adoration next to that of our Father in heaven
Oh Mama Mary, source of our Christian Temperance
Your immaculate heart we want to glance
Your good-tempered children will adore you forever
Glory be to you also, our Heavenly Mother.
Amen.

Temperance
Oh God, temptations are in abundance
Do not give it a chance
I need more temperance.

*My Morning Poems Collection…written on Pentecost Day, the 2013th Birthday of the Roman Catholic Church
Tobacco, liquor, and women are bad for you,
so I’ve quit smoking. Someday, liquor too.

Cool person has said
Angry people don't talk well
Their hot temper breed.
Dear time I beg you , please let me go
It hurts to walk yesterday’s path .
Reliving pain when I don’t want to,
Rocking my life over and over
on chairs of stone the devil sat .
There was weird time when to remember,
caused a reaction and brought me back
to sweeter pastures , to warmer suns.
But to remain poses the danger
of slowly drowning in shallow segments,
in doubtful seconds , where to be lied is liberating.
Let me move forward lord of the ages,
grant me a space between dimensions
where I can ride with any Planck .
Reset my soul , with the illusion
of your continuum ,
each moment different , yet never changes .

Dear time I beg you , please let me go
It hurts to walk yesterday’s path .
Reliving pain when I don’t want to,
Rocking my life over and over
on chairs of stone the devil sat .
There was weird time when to remember
caused a reaction and brought me back
to sweeter pastures , to warmer sun …
But to remain poses the danger
of slowly drowning in shallow segments ;
in doubtful seconds , where to be lied is liberating.
Let me move forward lord of the ages,
grant me a space between dimensions
where I can ride with any Planck .
Reset my soul , with the illusion
of your continuum ,
each moment different , yet never changes .
Dust motes spiral round,
Filling attic sunlight's rays
Try not to disturb
Carrie Nation loathed saloons and whiskey,
And took some actions that were quite risky!
She chastised dudes who reeked of intoxication,
And used her hatchet to smash kegs of booze across the nation!

Maybe some of the Fruits
were mean't to be
Taught!
I am teaching
Temperance.
In this time of Healing.
Peace is where you find it.
Anyone can see me any time they like
Like Jesus Christ -I'm not that hard to find.
It's nice to
not know
the future

DON'T Look Back...

Oh, Temperance,
How many evils, would we have avoided,
Had
Earlier, your wise counseling
Heard!

A lost of temperance
Must be a waste of time
Fore neither of the same
Shall their ever be two
Separate they may seem
GF
The motion of Soul
Direct in a see of unknown
Folding pounding
Molding grounding
Working out the if and ors
The discipline of seven more…
Evolution casting sand
Grace in pressures at hand
Reason is a calling to be
Temper your way to sea…
Eight folds on a path
Virtual virtues of math
Breaking myths of wrath
In the motion of a Soul
.... tHere is room to breathe.
Of the voices, I have heard, the sound of Silence,
Is the loneliest, by far.
It is infinite, unending,
Yet, this gap can be bridged.
Love, Friendship, Happiness,
They each, can be a tether, a line,
Something to grasp.
These insurmountable things, uneventful as the one,
But together, combined, how resilient,
Is their effect.
Heavens and earth, Stars and sky,
Have known, there passion,
The World, has wept, for its pain.
It is such a wonder to know, a joy to behold,
Though simple in its complexity,
Whole in its entity.
In life we love, in life we share,
In life we give, in love we care.
Else, we falter, and we fail,
Loose the grasp and, then we wail.
How lost would I be, without her hand to guide me,
Her touch to show me, her smile to brighten my day.
Many do they number, the things I love of you,
Of which I have mentioned, but a few.
Yet with love in my heart, shall I face all things,
With the courage of Lions,
Tempered with the care of Angels,
This feeling, It is my Salvation,
This State, of Grace and elevation,
Beholds that, which my love , and I share.
Clement Hardy.
