Life Is Like a Pizza Pie

Your life is like a pizza pie, 
With wisdom you should long or yearn; 
It is not just a food to eat,
But also a lesson to learn.

With different sizes it is
Available just anywhere; 
When you leave your house to buy one, 
As you return it is a square.

Eager to see the bread inside, 
The package with care you handle; 
The moment you open the box,
What you have found is a circle.

It's so hard to turn a blind eye
To this tasty, delightful dough;
As you begin eating a piece, 
It's triangle, you ought to know.

Constant change is in the world,
From good reason to alibi; 
Your behavior improves in time, 
Your life is like a pizza pie.

The Tall Tree of Love

I can catch you when you fall
From that tree of love so tall
As long as I hear you call.

You Will Forever Be My Always

You will forever be my always, 
Staying with you come what may; 
No matter what happens, 
I'll be by your side every day.

You're my yesterday, today and tomorrow, 
No one can ever replace you; 
Without you here with me, 
All that I see is color blue.

You're my past, present and future, 
You're inside my memory; 
You're the air that I breathe, 
You're my dream I long to see.

You're my love of a lifetime, 
I can't exist if you're not here; 
If you won't stay I would die, 
So learn not to disappear.

For the rest of my life, 
You are the only one; 
You're every beat of my heart, 
How can I live if you're gone? 

Till the end of all things, 
As long as time has space; 
While the world keeps on turning, 
You will forever be my always.

Security Guard

A-n early morn has broken, 
B-ringing light to Sunday; 
E-vening rain disappears, 
G-ray haze fades away.
A-nother dusk has turned
I-nto a break of new dawn; 
L-et the twilight leave, as the shadows are gone.

A-llow your life to go on, 
B-egin to move forward; 
O-pen your bag January twenty-ninth, 
N-o one evades the security
G-uard.

The Lord's Soldier

C-alled as soldier of the Lord, 
O-n duty twenty-four-seven; 
L-acking not for faith and love, 
L-osing not hope for God in heaven.
E-arnest to extol the Almighty, 
G-iving top importance to Him; 
E-ven though there are trials, he still praises His holy name.

O-ft times he's in spiritual war, conquering the enemy's lair; 
F-ocused to win over the evil tricks, exposing false tenets in the air.

E-nemies of faith in resilience, 
V-icious lies in threatening stance; 
A-rmed though with the sword of truth, 
N-ever shall foes go the distance.
G-od's soldier is well-disciplined, 
E-xemplary in managing time; 
L-etting not the hour be wasted
I-n obeying His will so sublime.
C-all of duty is utmost priority, 
A-ccepting no other endeavor; 
L-abor in the field of the Lord is his noble task and fervor.

M-an of highest integrity, 
I-ncorruptible in words and in mind; 
N-o deed done in dishonesty, 
I-n morality he's so inclined.
S-oldier of the Lord is firm, 
T-hinking not of material things; 
R-emaining to be brave and loyal, 
Y-earning to gain eternal blessings.

that shows the time’s effects or use.
Our knot does not make itself loose

Faithful Servant

B-rave and faithful servant 
I-s fighting against the lies; 
E-arly June twenty-seventh, 
N-o fear is found in his eyes. 

M-oving on toward the crown, 
A-ll he upholds is God's truth; 
C-limbing up every ladder, 
A-s he wants the labor's fruit. 
L-ove, faith, and hope 
I-ntensify his being valiant; 
N-othing can twist the mind 
O-f the faithful servant.

Lessons of Life To Learn

There are lessons of life to learn,
Coin has two sides - face down and up;
It moves quickly after the toss,
Finally, it does slowly stop.

One wisely works. Another sleeps, 
Doing nothing each single day; 
The lazy man is just headed
Toward hunger in every way.

Sweet summer comes. Wild winter goes,
As the tiny ants store up food; 
Farmers do wait for the raindrops
To fill up the dry fields for good.

Ocean waves roll. The soft sand waits
Just for someone so creative; 
The castles made are quite fragile, 
Nature's wrath is not selective.

The two eyes watch. The blind senses
Everything that does surround him; 
The delightful deaf and mute man
Makes sublime signs about his dream.

The warm wind blows. Flowers wither.
Today, the man is very strong; 
Soon he shall  breathe his very last, 
To pay for sin, mistake and wrong.

The deepest sea. The highest hill, 
The peak is just finally found; 
Once one is there, the next step is
To be back on the lower ground.

Yes, life goes on. Death comes later,
The journey’s end we never know; 
A blessing or a misfortune, 
Where will the force of the wind blow? 

The great solid statues stand still, 
Arborescent plants bow and bend; 
Teaching boastful people to call
And pray to one God in heaven.

Countless matters and things abound
In this wide world, for us to turn
Them into such precious treasures, 
Lovely lessons of life to learn.

Setting Aside For a Rainy Day

To prepare for the rain
Is important to every man; 
Able to meet his needs, 
Doing everything he can.

Look at the ants, 
Storing up food in summer; 
Not to be caught off guard, 
Nor hungry during winter.

But more than ensuring
A life in contentment; 
One should prepare for
The day of judgment.

Everything on earth
Shall be burned by rains of fire; 
Even the arch of the sky
Shall be destroyed by God's ire.
Collect the bread of truth, 
Deposit the Almighty's word; 
Reserve food for the soul, 
In one fold you'll be able to hoard.

Plan to be ready, 
Now that the end is nearer; 
It is of utmost value
To heed God's messenger.

A message of caution
From the bird of prey; 
Hence, the famous phrase: 
Setting aside for a rainy day.
