Nurture not the practice of complaining
For it is but an anchor for stagnation,
Within which, withers due promise of hope,
Causing thereby, the gradual demise of motivation,
That otherwise, would have found abode to
Flourish towards the fulfillment of dreams.

To steal from one’s self is bad enough
But to procrastinate is the worst sort.
For time lost is never regained
Save through the futile guise of memory
And if it has been said too often
Surely it still will be repeated once still
“Procrastination is the thief of time”.
So make haste and don’t delay
Toil, labour with all your might today.
Let not the wily thief rob of you
What is more precious than gold.
For once that glorious sun sets today
No matter how hard we hope and pray
Another morning shall indeed dawn again.

My gift to you is this…
I wish for you now and always
The peace of God, the foundation
And maker of the whole universe,
Which peace, exceeds the knowledge
Of mere humanity, but from within its
Boundless and sustaining essence, remains
An ever faithful impenetrable anchor
Which, calms the ripples and turbulence of life,
Transforms the sphere of human perception
Yet, assuredly provides enduring solace
And the tranquility of comforting relief
In aid of the spirit that embraces it.

One enigmatic aspect of this life …
May just lie within its illusive nature.
For certain, it is predestined for each
An allotted dimension with this sphere.
Without a shadow of a doubt, what is past
Lies wholly an irretrievable quota, and
Is dissipated within the winds of time,
Coupled with the continuing challenge
Of accomplishing the outstanding agenda
Within a future measure that is uncertain.

Make earnest account of the time bequeathed ye.
For moments past, fade dim, are no longer tangible,
Can only relived through the realm of recollection
And avail you not in the extension of your days.

This rosebud like any other …
Foretells in understated measure
The wonder of the beauty still to
Blossom forth with grandeur, amid
The intricate bond of life and time.
But this rosebud, beyond the usual splendor
Ceaseth not in the promise of optimism, for it
Springs eternal, beckoning with an elevating
Message of hope, yet seeking to be recognized
And embraced for the enduring nature of the
Fullness of its potential and reassurance within.

Disappointment, yet may transform into a motivator.
If it is viewed beyond what it ordinarily portends,
And is earnestly assessed for the accompanying lessons,
Thus yielding much introspection leading to circumspection.
Resulting in determination to advance forward, navigate renewed
To embrace new horizons, fortified and much wiser still.

The element of life that alters not
Is the steadfast immutability of change,
Thus, if it pervades through life with known constancy,
‘Twill be improvident, if in the pursuit of life, change is
Not anticipated, earnestly prepared for, and adapted to.

An opportunity of a lifetime …
Is only the opportunity of the lifetime
If it is identified and recognized as such,
Embraced and diligently pursued, and
Extracted of the fullest potential it heralds
To one’s benefit and best advantage.

Failure to utilize time in advancement of life
Particularly one’s life, is an absolute tragedy
Of measurable and immeasurable dimensions.
