You Can Lean On Me

His mind was like a snail crawling slowly on the ground. 
He was behind, confused and lost in his venture to learn. 
So many obstacles stood in the way of this little child. 
To overcome them, he never once did try. 
                                                                                                                                       
He gave up too easily without a fight. 
He thought less of himself every day and night. 
Opportunity does not knock; it just presents itself at the door.                                    
But little did this child know. 
                                                                                                                                  
He needed motivation to try and move on. 
He needed a friend or someone. 
He needed to learn how to apply his ability                                                                  
to grab hold of every opportunity. 
                                                                                                                                      
His first step to success began with this friend,                                                              
who took his hand and guide him to the end.                                                             
The words his friend had spoken were his success key,                                   
“Here’s my shoulder, you can lean on me.”

A Prayer

Lord, help me to understand you more and more.
Help me to appreciate the gifts of life as I explore.
So many times I've put doing my will about yours.
Please turn my heart towards your forever love.

Lord, help me to live the way you ask me to love.
And to love the way you ask me to live.
Dear God, I pray to you on my bended knees.

Hear my cry.
My urgent need for you.
Let me see you in all things.
Give me life anew.

Teach me to listen.
Teach me to be kind.
Lord, strengthen me that I might find.
The road that leads me closer to you everyday.
Please Lord, 
I beg you
Show me the way!

God, You Are My All In All

Your strength never left.
You gave me more than I've ever possessed. 
I've never believed so much.
Right now, my faith in you will NEVER stop.
Many tears came,
But as a means of comfort.
I fought and I fought. 
The courage I needed was right on spot.
Even though things may not always be going my way,
I feel taken care of,
Reassured that your love won't ever go away.
You've moved my feet.
One step at a time.
With each step,
The steepest mountain I've climbed.
You never gave up on me.
You opened my eyes to see, 
That the strongest weapon in the world,
Is my true faith in thee.
When the going gets rough,
You reminded me that I'm tough,
And God, because of you,
I won't EVER give up!

God Has a Reason For Everything

When we cry because we’re hurt,                                                                         
there’s a reason for that.                                                                                            
When life is moving too fast and we don’t get to say I love you                                
to the people we love,                                                                                           
there’s a reason for that. 
                                                                                                                                     
We cannot be mad at God for things that happened,                                                         
left undone or don’t exist.                                                                                             
God moves with us, he loves us                                                                                
and that’s just the beginning of the list. 
                                                                                                                                
When we lose a loved one,                                                                                     
when faith disappears on us                                                                                     
and we find there is no more hope for anything.                                                       
Just remember to trust in God                                                                              
because he has a reason for everything.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Some questions are left unanswered. 
Some thoughts are left incomplete. 
Some words are left unspoken.
Some actions are left undone.
Some smiles are gone forever.
Some laughter's are there to stay.
Someone cannot live forever, 
because "Nothing GOLD Can Stay."

The Strength In You

Your Power Lies Within
Many of us hide our capabilities and strengths on the inside, somehow being afraid to use them. God gives each and every one of us special talents. Those who use their talents will be rewarded greatly, but those who hide their talents with be punished.

When you know that you are capable enough to handle anything, release your power within. You might be surprise by what you can do! You never know how STRONG you are until being strong is the only choice you have!

Situations presents themselves with things we may not be ready for; things we have to face and cannot get out of. In those times we have no choice but to be strong and to have faith in ourselves that we can actually do it. It is only then that we will recognise the undying power that lies within us.

Be strong always. Don't just wait for the opportunity where you wouldn't have a choice but to be strong. Be strong in everything that you do so that when other situations arise you can overcome it all because you've gotten stronger and stronger each time you've utilise your power.

The Voice That Saved Her

In the stillness of the midnight, she stood crying hopelessly.                                      
A stranger the world became to her, unexpectedly.                                                     
It created separation and distance of everything in her life,                                    
in an environment where she felt disconnected and in so much fright. 
                                                                                                                                 
So, she wanders through the darkness in search of a miracle                                  
that will erase the stranger and turn her life into value.                                
Suddenly, as she trembled in the midst of the chilly wind,                                      
a voice whispered to the little girl, a voice so determined. 
                                                                                                                        
Frightened and still shaking, she turned to see who it was.                                     
But she saw no clear vision, it was only their voice.                                          
Peace and goodwill eased the fright in the little child,                                                 
as she listened to the voice that seemed to sooth away her fright. 
                                                                                                                                 
From that moment onwards, the little girl realized                                                    
that it was God’s voice that came to her that night.                                                   
A voice living and active, sharper than any double edge sword,                                
a voice that she could not have ignored. 
                                                                                                                                             
For that voice she heard gave her hope and strength,                                                  
to not be afraid but to face life with confidence.                                                   
Her life became meaningful; she had witnessed the greatest cure.                              
It was all because of the voice that saved her.

A Mother

Without you Mother, 
I wouldn’t be in this world.                                                                                                Without your love, 
mines would not have unfurled.                                                                                   
With you mother, there’s always reassurance.                                                                                               You soothe away all my fears and disturbance.                                                                                               You watched over me and treasure me all these years.                                                                                       In every sad moment you wiped away my tears.

With you mother, there’s always forgiveness.                                                                                                 You never held a grudge.                                                                                                                           You’re just a mother that’s blessed.                                                                                                        There’s magic in your laughter.                                                                                                          There’s always a glow all over.                                                                                                           Mother you are filled with a special power.
                                                                                                                                                        You have such wonderful insight and skill,                                                                                         which only a mother can fill.                                                                                                                          
I love you Mother.                                                                                                                                          I love you to infinity.                                                                                                                           Today and always Mother,                                                                                                                                    I thank you for me!

Dear God

Dear God please guide me through
the night and throughout the day.
Let me feel your touch in every way.
Give me strength to face one day at a time, 
so that I can love and give you all that is mine.

I live not to please others but only you God, the one above.
I live to be honest, kind, compassionate and to love.
Pour the fruits of your spirit upon each and every one of us.
Teach us to love, rather than to fight and curse.

Lead us out of the darkness and bring us into the light.
Show us that with and through you we can make it in any fight.
You are our rock, our sword and our shield.
Now I’m down on my bended knees to say
I love you Lord,
I love you now 
and I’ll always will.

He Is I and I Am Him

He is irresistible, sexy and no longer searching for lasting love,                         
because he has been given the greatest love of all.                                                  
He speaks directly to the heart.                                                                             
And his touch as genuine as could be,                                                           
whatever he is, that’s exactly me. 
                                                                                                                                
Such as I am irresistibly appealing, vibrant and fresh,                                          
he is I, one body, and one flesh.                                                                         
Indeed we are truly blessed. 
                                                                                                                      
Attractions flared and connections were made.                                                    
Our love bonded as our eyes were laid.                                                                       
Just as he made his love clearly seen,                                                                     
he is I and I am him.                                                                                                     
I am his life and his is mines.                                                                               
Two become one as we combine.                                                                                 
A fresh romance, heartwarming and true,                                                        
forever you’ll be me and I will be you.
