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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not castigate yourself endlessly
Nor subject yourself to constant reproach, or
Incessantly scathing personal recrimination,
For, but imperfect is our life journey, and
Blemished certain trails we sometimes pursue.
Yet know ye, that even the stalwart and ramrod
Of disposition are indeed still malleable, but
Shielded with the distinction of determination
Resolve not to disintegrate under the scrutiny, and
Limelight of the flawed existence of mortality.
Rather, cloak thyself with clear and piercing insight
To acknowledge frailties and experiences therefrom.
Arm thyself with the refuge of wisdom, to ensure
That thy perspective is unveiled in assessment
Of the failings that attend within thine existence.
Dwell not on the limitations or infirmities of the mould
Nay, courage most ardently seek, sufficient grace to
Forgive thyself embrace, while nurturing steadfastly the
Peace that elevates the spirit and dissipates confusion,
And with the confidence of maturity acquired through
Lessons, advance beyond the stagnation of shortcomings
To forge onward with confidence and enduring hope.

Amazing was the thought
That ’twas the moon seen that morn.
All gaze directed towards the sky,
Conviction seeking that it was the sun.
Forsooth, ’twas but indeed the moon
Up yonder in the sky clear blue.
As it lingered in the morning sky
Its presence a message of hope brought,
That boons of certain do appear, if only
We with heedful measure discern their essence
When of sudden they present in full view.
For although, the night sky its domain be,
Yet it was there, brilliant in the daylight
And oh, what a wondrous sight…
Indeed a blessing, and not in disguise
Tolling aloud, a message of pleasant assurance
That e’en if life’s pattern unchanging appear
Often a reminder comes along to boldly declare
That the exceptional in nature also doth transpire
…Thus the moon by day.

Progress is a watchword of the vigilant
For its essence inspires the spirit through
Rightful recognition of the accomplished,
And thus rewards toil and steadfastness in
Tangible account and visible dimension.
Therefore, my friend make not small delight
Of continuous propulsion through life’s maze.
For advancement surely supersedes stagnation.
Nay, not only embrace what thou hath completed
Regard it as springboard for inspiration and the future.
Much good luck!

The opportunity of a lifetime
Always, may not present itself
In the adornment of riches.
Nay, it may yet be revealed
Within the simplicity of the richness
Of other dimensions which earnestly attach
Value to life beyond calculated wealth.
Therefore, my friend attend to vigilance
That ye may recognize that bountiful boon
And open the door to fully embrace it
When it knocks in whatever form…
To transform your journey for the better.

Almighty God of all the earth
Thy wonders ceaseth not.
In all thy majesty I pray
Ye hear me when I call.
Forgive me all my sins my Lord.
Forgive me all I’ve done.
Please wash me with the blood of Christ
And sanctify my soul.
I struggle deep with the pains of life.
I wrestle in my faith, but do believe, and
Still hold firmly within my frame
That Christ saves, and will come again.
Empower me with thy strength, oh God.
Embrace me fully in thy love,
That when the strife of life doth come
Within thy grace, I’ll always walk.
And at last, when that fated Rubicon I cross,
When in awe, thy blessed face I see
That I’ll sing on high with all thy saints
Thank God, earth’s life wasn’t in vain.

Inherent in the essence of life’s constant motion
Is the constancy of change, second after second
No moment is in complete dimension,
The same as the past, present or future…
Therefore, as the changing times of existence
May accumulate into centuries of progress,
Earnestly regard change as part of human enterprise
Thus, make it count on your behalf…
And not as an obstacle.
