Focus not on lost opportunities,
Rather, focus on the new promise
Yet existing in the present, and
The hope still contained in the future.

Positively Stubborn
Adamantly refusing to give up on one’s dreams
But pursuing them, despite the challenges
Or difficulties, that in unrelenting manner, stand
As sentry to prevent the valiant effort of dedication
On the path forward, and attempt to submerge hope
Within the looming and treacherous valleys of despair,
And yet, refusing to lie vanquished, the determined spirit
Still persistently pursuing that which it yearns to achieve,
Negotiating no alternative but committed steadfastness,
Is a commendable positively stubborn attribute that all must
Endeavour to embrace and strive to earnestly uphold, to
Guard one through the rugged terrain of life, to the victorious
Plains of never giving up for want of those dear and personal dreams.

Curb The Negative
Do not let the ripples of irritation in life
Be they constant, or intermittent, detract
From the promise and joy of living earnestly.
For they, possess the power and proclivity
Of attempting to consume or overshadow
Life to the disadvantage of sustained progress.
Therefore, make diligent entreaties towards
Focusing on the nature and promise of hope.
Accentuate that which inspires the spirit to soar.
Convert the destructive into positive momentum,
And propel yourself forward to the realization
Of the dreams you envisioned for the fullness
Of the bountiful gift of the life that is yours.

Eternal Comfort
They may assail your being…
Take all your earthly possessions.
Unjustly curtail one’s liberty
Confiscate all they think you own
And trample on one’s humanity
Even unto the cessation of mortal life.
Yet, they cannot even if they try
Touch the Almighty God and Creator
Who provides the divine assurance
Of Eternal bliss, even if they try.
Thus in all matters, rely completely on
He who is greater than greatness, and
The generous benefactor of all grace.

Courage’s Pull
When courage’s conviction visits thy habitation
Will thou in earnest, welcome and adopt it fully,
Or will thou dismiss its valiant entreaties, to stand
Ramrod under its auspices, for its just and fearless cause.
Courage precipitates the flourish of advanced audacity.
Thus, imbibe its virtue, don it ardently as shield and sword.
As shield, to proceed valiantly when its essence is required,
Or to protect you, from the putrid tempest of ugly repression
When eventually you are counted amid the virtuous assembly.
As sword, will you deliver from the pulpit of righteous indignation,
Rendition, powerfully piercing through the cloak of brutality, to
Challenge the venomous sting of atrocity spearing tormented souls.
Tarry not, courage still beckons to all, zealously seek to embrace it,
To its fullest dimension, and emboldened by it, confront that which
Is intent on destroying all that is of positive measure in humanity.

Wisdom’s Trails
Where lieth the true essence of wisdom.
Does it just accompany the chronology of age
Simply because the years turn into decades of life.
Is it found through one existence defining experience
Or amid the multitude of challenges encountered during
The phases shaping the course of our fragile mortality.
Is it manifest in considered circumspection, probably
Applied in varying degrees to ensuing circumstance and events.
Is it the unique province of a few who then impart it wisely
As revered sages to the expectant seeking its solemn direction.
Or is it a derivative of the collective thoughts, then spoken, or woven
Into bound volumes of scholarly accounts for the edification of many.
Could it be, that it is encountered in the calm solitude of the walk
Through the parks and gardens of contemplation, or arises from
Deep within the routine of the communing with the supreme being.
Possibly, it may reveal itself in one of or a combination of these.
Yet, the one who finds wisdom should guard it utmost jealously
For in its midst, is contained the invaluable compass to navigate life.
Thus, irrespective of where its imprints are encountered,
When indeed in its time, it attends to your discernment
And commands by its very stature one’s rapt attention
Court it fully, and abide wholeheartedly by its doctrines.
With astuteness, hold firm to its priceless undeniable virtues
To guide your judgement, utterances and all undertakings.
That its essence, may steadfastly illuminate your course
With its sagacious attributes to your enduring benefit.

Overwhelming Grace
I am overwhelmed by your grace, oh Lord
For your mercy consumes my soul with joy.
You have constantly been attendant to my cries
And you have heard my silent weeping in the night.
Although, errant are my ways from your righteousness
Even yet, thy favour present and sudden embrace me.
Amid all the cares of this great universe under your charge
You in mercy incline thine ear unto my pleas, and in the
Abundance of thy healing power with blessings surround
My being, despite myself and despite my sins.
You with your faithfulness, cease not to part the
Red seas of my life, and with thy angels land me safely
On the promised side, according to your time and will, in awe,
My mortal frames acknowledges thy wondrous supremacy
And that through all life, thou are more than sufficient unto me.
Rejoice oh my soul, for the Lord of all creation, has in
Faithful covenant, manifest yet again, His love for me.
Blessed be the name of my God, the Almighty Jehovah
Ever present, mighty and ever victorious on the battlefield.
All praise, glory and thanksgiving be yours, my King
Forever and through the ageless age of eternity.

Activate The Promise
Have you awoken your dreams lately, and beckoned
Intently to arouse them from their often slumber deep, to
Transform them from the somnolent stage to tenacious form
If not, the hour has but urgently dawned …
To have a forthright conversation with those dreams
Towards, claiming the full potential of their promise,
Stirring them beyond the dormancy of prolonged vagueness,
Henceforth, employing diligent measure, to invest in active industry
To crystallize the reality of resolute and tangible propulsion,
And earnestly, cause them to yield on your behalf, actual dividend.

Possibilties Never End
Indeed, the night is not over till the morning dawns,
Neither, the day complete till its ebbing moments set
And transform into the twilight that descends, and thence
The cycle ensues, for the darkness will yield yet again to light.
Therefore, the entirety of time, doth afford us, but many
Chances to maximize the full potential of opportunities
That present, even if be, that they simply seem to offer
Just, the ability to recognize and embrace the gift of time,
And then within the scope of the continuous sequence, pledge
To decidedly employ its span to our enduring advantage.
Never Give Up!

Wisdom Prevailing
Refrain from courting the seductive enticement
Of the dastardly but evidently harmful trap,
For attendant to and within the darkness of the pit
Lie ills of ruinous and horrendous proportion.
Although alluring it may appear, as it beckons
With the tantalizing aroma of feigned attraction,
Endeavour not to accept its deceptive invitation
Wherein disaster of certain takes sure habitation.
Rather, with resolve, listen and follow ardently
Wisdom’s refrain, and pursue ye so earnestly
The alternative promise of hope’s true reality,
And that which is patently of responsible order.
For even though it, may emerge and fully unfold
Only whence its dawning is but timely and due, the
Persisting triumph, over that ominous snare, which
Loomed so treacherously to derail the benign spirit,
Will multiple the reward of faithful patience, and
Coupled with the bounty of a virtuous promise,
Justify the endurance that directed your upright steps
And sustained your days along the propitious course.
