Treasure Your Life

TREASURE YOUR LIFE

A way of life to follow hidden in us
But evident with the help of the holy spirit
Pour out during our baptism to remind us
The link that was sent to us, using it to reach out to the test

Encountering our egos
Trying to change how we perceive
The environment we are living in as
The best gift we have to gladly receive

We were once dead in spirit and body
Resuscitated back to life again
So that we may inherit the glory
And through imparting of divine life that we have gain

Developing our inner motive to fly
The brakes that will not disappoint us
The engine that makes us start the journey 
On the way to our success that awaits


Everything is tangible and good 
Loses its value in due time
Why do we like things of a high standard?
My watch only counts in minute


Today you see me with blue
Never fades with too much of ignorance
Tomorrow you will find me with glue
That permanently create a mark of sense

The Well

THE WELL

It is full of water, come close
And draw from it whatsoever you want
Full of peace, that voices louder than words
Open it for yourself and receive it

Move it around, it will never get worn-out of filling itself
To replace what has been used to clean up the dull room
The source of it has never been known even to the holder
To him comes the joy of enquiring more and more

Every day the preparation for the visit continues
Taking place inside the agency of the well
Everything is made smooth 
As I raise my eye, I saw the moving water clearing the way

At all times, you need a bucket to draw
The amount you may need for internal use
Be patient than to rash yourself
So that you may not fall in the well full of water to stain it

Old structure outside, but inside still new
You just need to enter, for you to understand
What am talking about, you may not believe it?
Stretch out your hands and touch it, still here

Life of Happiness

LIFE OF HAPPINESS


The enemy come and planted some weeds
I come and uprooted them carefully
Not to interfere with my good crops
That are yet to produce good fruits
Will be seen when that time comes

He come and left with me instructions 
Fully equipped with knowledge about them
To be able to carry out my daily steps with ease
Let it rain, we may harvest what we toil for
On the sun, that was brighter today

You may never lack something on your vineyard
Bearing feelings, thoughts, words and instructions
That you may be upright in stature and in reasoning
Pay attention to your inner voice, that you may live
Happily, in all your experiences of the day

At night, I saw them growing towards the light
During the day, I instructed and sent them off
To a duty that was ease and light
To make others grow the same way they did
Without much talks and complains

Happiness can be created at any time of the day
Without much struggles and efforts
True happiness comes from within oneself
Produces good fruits in outstanding period
And remain a withstanding fruit on a tree.
