In the world of business vision is the key
It maps the path to where you want to be.
With focus clear opportunities arise
A map paving the way for the prize.
Life, too, is a business of the soul
With vision you’re guided towards your goal.
Without a plan the journey’s unclear
But with the right vision victory is always near.
Like a business thrives with direction and drive
Your dreams, too, come alive as you strive.
Every challenge is an opportunity to see
That with vision, you’ll live life victoriously.

CELEBRATION
Celebrating 40 like a hottie, I victoriously venture valiantly in my New Era,
Vowing to vanquish every vexing challenge as I get older,
Yet younger, yielding to the years of yesterday.
With vigour & vitality in victory, I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
To yours truly, as I celebrate added year soulfully.
I valiantly vanquish the veil of doubt and fear,
Vowing to victoriously voyage through life's labyrinthine year.
With veritable vitality, I vigorously venture ahead,
Victoriously claiming glory after all done & said.
Though my age & appearance decide to fool me,
I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me, yours truly!

From victory to victory
Our storyline
As we journey through life
But all glory
To our maker
Making us victorious
In all circumstances.
Glory to thy way maker
Always making a way
For us to be victorious
That's what he's best known for
Leading us to victory
Triumphing over all
That rises against us.
Grace and favor
He's always bestowed on us
Glory to our maker
For ease and effortlessness
All we get he gave
Without hesitating
Victoriously dominating all territory
Glory to our maker for he's our helper.

The Genesis of a Promised Seed
was and has always been a conflict.
Since primordial Eden and Eve,
between her grain against devil's trick.
His journey to the womb of Mary
is a testament of His sovereignty.
Bloodlines of imperfect humanity,
finely woven redemptive purity.
The night, a loving Father's hand
laid His Promised Seed to a manger.
Reaching the unlightened world,
yet rejected, spit upon and shattered.
The sundial in the Hands of the Almighty,
while He buries His Begotten selflessly.
The Omniscient One cast the Seed lovingly.
Yes He died, but soon He's risen victoriously.
Jesus, the Promised Seed of the Father
is now exalted, seated in heaven's Throne.
Though His heel was wounded with scar,
He trampled the devil's head, defeated and dethroned.

Amidst the chaos, the wails and the screams,
Destruction abounds, shattering my dreams.
I cry out in anguish, but the noise never ends,
Longing for peace, for this turmoil to mend.
Through the anguish, the pain, and the loss,
The choices I made now come with a cost.
My luck has run dry, leaving wounds in its wake,
Wondering if prayers will pardon my mistakes.
I know God is near, but I'm lost in my mind,
Searching for Him, His presence I cannot find.
I need His guidance for the pain to subside,
When a gentle voice whispers, "Have faith, and abide."
So, I take a deep breath and begin to see,
The strength to overcome resides within me.
Though the world may crumble and chaos reign.
With trust in the Lord, my spirit regains.
I'll stand firm and strong, for He is by my side,
His love and grace, my fears to override.
Through the storm and the strife, I'll find my way,
Emerging victoriously, each trying day.

laying on an icy lake
praying that it stays cloudy and cold
a smile on my face speaks volumes
i think of all i am ThankFull for and Rejoice
though there are spurts of melancholy, the beauty overshadows victoriously
life is never perfect despite individual feelings
regret is somewhere hidden in cornered closets of every mind
at the tail end of the present, i reflect warmly on the fact that i am not alone
i am motivated to push forward
my gravitational pull is fervently flavorful
so WonderFull i feel,
i completely forget that i am laying on an icy lake
a pep in my step expresses caravans
i think of the little things that in everyday life i fully ignore
the whole of my body spins till fully Full Circle
as a result of unbeknownst Self Realization, I become that much more Well Rounded

Body ails yet spirit soars indeed
For this, I pray that God grants my need
So I can continue reaching-out
Midst weakness-doubt and sickness-pout.
With human nature’s flaw, causing pain
My flesh succumbs to grief; I complain
Then seek for heavenly help, divine*
For my heart's shield from frustration-whine.
Driving my spirit for triumph glow
The Lord I trust against trials’ blow
For me to ascend with gladness’ hope
Propelled as I victoriously cope.
Endowed with strength of spiritual might
I’ll do right, smite fright by prayer flight
Yielding to Holy Ghost Who grants zest
As I fulfill role’s best, feeling blest.
*2Corinthians 4:1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Pappou, means grandfather in Greek,
He would listen carefully then speak,
Cleanse yourself first and heal,
Any rifts or wounds that gnaw.
Chose wisdom over wrath he’d say
Your time to fail, he would explain,
Will be entirely of your own choosing.
So open your minds and listen,
Understand your words,
And keep improving.
Don’t waste precious words, like snow
Falling in the desert,
Or as the claws of barren branches
Reaching out from a lone tree
Just prepare yourself,
To be body, mind, and soul free.
A war of words can be intelligently
Won, Without any snapping or
Or fighting back,
For then you loose the track,
By fighting back,
So keep on the track,
And you will victoriously
Have won this war of words.
One more thing, before you speak,
Remember my grandfather the Greek.

The apostle Paul calls on believers
to say no always to circumcision
standing firm in the gospel of Christ
which sets you free for God's mission
To stay in Christ, not under the law
for the law will never save you
only in Christ and in Christ alone
is God's salvation found to be true
Now by trusting in the old covenant
that Moses brought down from Sinai
because of this, you are severed from Christ
out of Christ, you'll remain left to die
Now seeking to be justified by the law
for in it you are never justified
Christ alone is the justifier of the just
it is finished Jesus victoriously cried
These matters finally clearly show
you have fallen away from grace
make sure never to trust the law
in Jesus' name stand firm in that place
(For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.)

Be the light. We are the light.
We are the light
By Michelle Morris
17/11/2020
In their eyes you may be incomplete
as they seek out the shiny baubles and squeak of shallow vessels and find them not wanting,
despite human nature being peacock taunting.
By their lips they may ululate,
the wars and strife who souls duly break,
but of you they may scorn
for you break the mould by quiet storms.
In their eyes you may be incomplete
for human beings have clay for feet;
we hurt and claw and crash and burn,
slaughter and fight against, and turn.
By their lips they may not celebrate your existence born by fate and choice;
for those who have the highest climb
must do so alone with no solace or voice.
We are the ones: The leaders and saviours of the undeserving masses who would not give us the light of day; but we are the Light and He sees all, and those humans remain very small in comparison to the universe's thrall -
Our crown of thorns transmuted
victoriously to glorious gold;
Our enemies defeated for good
as we claim saved souls.

"In the misty corridors of the soul"
Sublime glow glitters from heavenly pole
Radiating jubilant hope-filled light
To exude warmth for blest reaching-out role.
With triumphant heart of sharing delight
Revived soul now readies toward faith flight
Exalting God for His abundant grace
Smiting gloom in response to earnest plight.
Midst spiritual zest propped by valiant brace
Grateful soul continues to run life’s race
Persistent in conquering grievous pain
Strengthened with ministerial divine rays.
Victoriously treading steward’s terrain
Vibrant soul* spreads love along cheerful gain
Praising the Lord for life, wondrously whole
Since He is the Almighty Who does reign.
*Luke 1:46 ... My soul doth magnify the Lord.

The devil and his demons
The rulers and the unbelievers
They felt triumphant on Friday
Death shouted victoriously on Friday
But they forgot that Sunday was coming
They rested and observed the Sabbath on Saturday
But life broke forth
Life changed the world
Life altered history forever
when in came Sunday morning

I have loved my individual self always,
With my physique, psyche, flesh, blood, grace, and glaze;
Midst my gender and cast, and creed and sex, and sect,
How uniquely Nature has formed me beauty decked...!
When I go within and find the treasures concealed,
Like secrets of fertile land that does richly yield;
Virtues and values, venture victoriously,
Like angels ascend the heavens gloriously...!
Above all, the uniqueness I applaud most is:
Compassion and honesty make me a true wiz...!
These, like lamps in darkness, lighten my avenues,
And brighten my mind and heart with celestial views...!!!

Anger is a poisonous seed
To doom, it will surely lead
To throw it away, I plead
As it will make mind bleed
Anger is highly dangerous
Its demolition is vigorous
It will stop totally progress
Punishment being rigorous
To stop anger, keep silent
Make yourself just absent
Be damn calm cent percent
So that you will not repent
Anger may severely surge
But, your mind, never divulge
In expression, do not indulge
Victoriously you will emerge
Anger makes one very mad
Reputation turns damn bad
Peace of mind can't be had
All the parties become sad
No anger makes you a sage
That contains only advantage
Peace is for that sage a wage
Anger causes only damage
Keep mum and utter not a word
As angry words are sadly heard
Let kind words only be delivered
Let bliss and joy be transferred
Kind words medicate and cure
Help and support they assure
So that troubles all can endure
Kindness is the best, I am sure.

Freely surmounting impediment hill
My special child propels himself with mirth
Geared up well by his wheelchair journey thrill
Signifying another milestone worth.
Behold his triumphant contagious glee
Toward great well-being zest, he does flee
Perspiring, exuding thanksgiving spree.
Such to me is a miraculous sight
Highlighting answered prayer of faith’s might
Assured by divine grace against doubt’s blight.
Trusting the Lord, I keep peaceably still
Assisting my son to enrich his dearth
So he can be what God wants him to be
Victoriously* soaring for progress height.
*1Corinthians 15:57 …Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
