My Only Hope…


It is my only hope that my VOICE which
Has been heard from the east to the west
Will resonate to what I believe will come.

This world can’t continue as it has been.
We need the faith of God, our Maker to
Bring reconciliation back to our people.

I have lived long enough, throughout all
Of my heartaches as well, to know that
Mankind recognizes these atrocities.

How much more do you want to disobey
God that brought you into the world?
It’s ridiculous to think any other way.

Man was to take care what God had once
Created; beautiful, magnificent, and awesome.
Our responsibility is ours to tend to his flock.

It is the ones that bear strength, courage and
Bravery; the ones that see this to the very end;
Within repercussions of a war to destroy evil.

To the Middle East Leaders

We all want love, we all want peace
Is this too much to ask?
Uniting together to make this happen
Is the only choice we have left.

By the grace of God; and humanity
We need to stop the evil ways.
Like fire in full air of the wind
It will consume more then we care.

Terrorists cause so much turmoil
It’s unjust and completely wrong.
How can the new generations live
When fear is upon their land?

I ask for your brilliance and mercy
To end the beheadings and killings.
To start in pointing to God’s direction
And bring salvation to all mankind.

Sunflowers


Something magical about them-
  
Resembles the sun’s shine
Gigantic blossom and tallness
Differing colors and hues
Displays brightness and happiness
Produces warmth and comfort
An array of splendor and delight!

Spend Time in the Hospital

You will see the pain,
          agony
          wounds
          discomfort
          distress
          hurt
          tears

You will see the comfort,
          kindness
          helpfulness
          relief
          care
          healing
          prayers

God remains watchful always!

Guys Fun Without the Gals…

Drinking with the guys; guys night out
Going to sports games or watching sports
Enjoying the single lifestyle
Having no one directing their life
Doing what they only want to be doing
Taking less responsibility of errands or demands
Single life is less expensive
Being able to have luxury items
Being able to go on your own trip
Isn't on too many budget restraints
Having a mind of their own
Arriving and leaving when they want
Less obligations that must be met

Spice

Spice up your life each day.
Spice makes it tasteful,
Delightful, bold, and tangy.

Spice up yourself each day.
Spice makes it eventful,
Scrumptious, zeal, and flavored.

Spice up your world each day.
Spice makes it awesome,
Exciting, hot, and tantalizing.

Israel-Palestine Conflict


I began to read about the news
I could only reach ¾ of the article
I began to read about the death toll
I also read about the wounded
I then seen the total of people fled.

I just had to stop reading more
I can’t believe this tragedy
I hear these people’s cries
I understand their moment of pain
I know of the anger they feel.

I see so much loss in their life
I feel empathy to their hurt
I know sorrow fills their minds
I understand tears fall easily
I know the heart is aching.

I know you are struck in terror
I realize you witnessed evil
I wish this battle ceased fire
I know deterrents were in the way
I pray for it to end soon.

To Help Others…

You can ask:

What can I help you with?
How can I help you?
Do you need any help?
Would you like some help?
Shall I help you with this?
Do you care for some help?

Or you can tell:

I’ll be happy to help out.
I can offer to help you.
Sure, I’ll be glad to help.
I’m ready to help you anytime.
When you’re ready, ask for help.
I want to be able to help you.

A Boulder in Life


Sometimes life places one
Of those boulders that you
Don’t know how to get past
It or through it.

Then only God or your
Guardian angel can intervene
For you.

Why?

Why is it that things seem stuck?
Why don’t my actions take hold?
Why isn’t it good enough?
Why is life unjust?
Why is things complicated?

Why is it the way it is?
Why can’t people understand?
Why is it that they don’t trust?
Why is it hard to help someone?
Why are we like we are?

Why is the world what it is?
Why don’t people get along?
Why aren’t we more kind?
Why are you not able?
Why is it so hard to do?

Why did things go wrong?
Why did this have to happen?
Why is it so urgent?
Why is it necessary?
Why is it so important?

We often question “why?”
