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.

An Unending Gift
Benjoy’s Corner 11 (Time’s Passage)
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.

The Extraordinary Rosebud
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’s Virtue
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.

Benjoy’s Corner (Immutable Change)
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.

Benjoy’s Corner 9 (Opportunity’s Gift)
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.

The Unlikely Springboard
The question …
Is not why they hate you
For hate has been present through the ages.
Rather, the preferred inquiry should be
Will you allow such hate, to pin you down
Wallowing deep into the abyss of self-pity.
Or propel you, onto motivation’s pathways
Undeterred, in continuous pursuit of your dreams.
Choose wisely… for your life
Is worth the best effort you can muster on its behalf
Rather than dwelling with such draining negativity.

Sorrow Not Beyond Sorrow’s Due
When situation occasions agony
And sorrow’s pain tends to linger on.
Forbear prolonged lamentation,
Lest in triumph it thrives and flourishes
Overcoming all avenues for joy within.
For the sorrow nurtured and kept alive
Forever as a companion tends to stays beside…
While that disposed of, in time, dissipates
Sparing more tears and anguish pronounced.
Nurture misery not, grief ‘s plan neither abet.
Truly, it is the soul, that despairs, that must
For its benefit, to hope eternal cling…
And the heart that in distressed anguish weeps
For its own plain relief, gladness must seek.
Thus within life’s brevity meant for all things
Extend not sorrow if it adventures near, that
It may not find habitation beyond its due…
But in earnest, room make for emotions pleasant,
Because ’tis when sorrow is bid farewell
That happiness, can fulfill its means and purpose
In joy’s delight and comfort, blossom free
Residing indeed amid inner solace and peace.

Progress Indeed
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!

Benjoy’s Corner (3)
Acknowledge not only the grand successes of life …
Compliment yourself also on the simplest triumphs
Of life, so casually overshadowed by the routine.
For the definition of accomplishment rings constant
Whether of dimensions monumental or to the contrary.
For indeed, the sum total of life is the cumulative
Measure of the inherent victories of the moments of each day.
Embrace Life …
