O~n occasion, the mind accretes to, "the hurt," when facing V~icissitudes; blinded by, "the better nature," causing to E~fface the focus from the Architect while simultaneously R~aising questions why. Impatience encourages the C~ollaboration of misery to consult with those of the same mind. O~nly then to find temporary pleasure due to humanly clocks power. M~entally drained by dint of attacks upon attacks; seemingly to be I~nsufferable and impregnable. Though the Architect, N~ever vanishes and will never vanish from the scene. So, G~ive and release all apprehension with entire trust. S~torms will arise from daybreak to nightfall. It must be remembered the A~rchitect of whom in total control oversees misery so N~ever question the authority. Become courageous and D~etermined that, "This Too Shall Pass." Be conscious of S~trength, wisdom and knowledge evolving afterwards. T~oday, focus on the size of the Architect and Not O~n what the mind can't do. Always R~emain prayerful and faith filled. M~ust never ignore the Architect of whom created life's puzzle S~hifting all elements of sand in place from day to day.

Mountains crumble no more to be Oceans of woe since you left me Thunder rolls and my heart it breaks Humbly life ends, my soul it quakes Everlasting grief with no mend Reminds me daily, it will not bend Inconceivable, this pain I bear My love's not gone, together we'll share In lasting glory at Jesus' feet Serenity and grace, oh how sweet Salvation unites on heaven's shore Yesterday's gone, tomorrow brings more Only a moment in time we wait Until we meet at heaven's gate
Moments of quiet stillness Each one a glittering Diamond to the soul I cherish. Teach yourself At least once a day To visit the silence Inside you. Open your heart Nurture your dreams.

Pretty pink pansies soothe searing souls; seek them; take walks. Offerings of friendship to another can distract depressive thoughts; open your heart. Evoking visions of amusing moments, absorb melancholy; envision funny times. Talk about something else, like tantalizing taste buds, instead of tumbling into misery. Depression debilitates, destroys, discourages, and devours; design a pleasure plan. Escape the misery; elevate merriment with music; sing and dance. Serenity takes practice; so get started; find a serene spot in a garden; watch for sparkles. Take time to pamper yourself; go to the spa or read a good book; relish positives. Relax at home or sit in a mall and watch the world go by; DO NOT SHOP! Overspending can lead to deeper depression; develop internal joys one thought at a time. Yesterday is gone. So, forget about it. Today is a new day; make a fresh start. Everything has a time and a season; trusting in God can help with anticipation anxiety. Remember to grow and learn from every life experience both positive and negative. After all, we are privileged to be on Earth where we can learn and grow, each day. Never give up on yourself, no matter what; forgive yourself for mistakes; stay strong. Determine to succeed at gladness; replace sad thoughts with happy ones…intentionally. Demons can creep into one's life; be sure to replace them with Heavenly hosts; Enrich your soul with scripture study and silent prayers; find fellowship. "Pretty is as pretty does," was a common saying back in the day; see your prettiness. Remember that raindrops refresh all living things; let some fall on your face. Exuberantly laugh as the wetness drips onto your tongue; breathe deeply, slowly. Sunshine follows the rain both in nature and in life. Remember, depression will pass. Seek your own path; one that holds your happiness, stay on that path, strongly. Individual self-worth is a way of thinking; pick positive worthy people for friends. Overcome depression one day at a time, one thought at a time, effervescently. Now is the time to embark on your happy future, feel better soon…lovingly.

I once knew this girl who had no face at all. Everytime she smiled her world would start to fall. She learned to hide She learned to hate She lost her hope She lost her faith The girl I thought I knew so well Became my enemy. The girl I thought I knew so well was no stranger, it was me.

Sense of humour, elevating our spirits Musing over the simple things in life, rejoicing at what we find Imagination stimulated, childlike, seeing the wonders in life Light heartedness, laughing at one's self! Everything as it is meant to be, smiling, enjoying, the gift of life
Music calms the angry heart, its glorious rhythm penetrates the dark, the way I feel when the sound waves seep through my hair, consumes my soul with a suttle stare, my feet so happy, my body enriched with vibrations, my soul so at ease, I'm here for the taking. I play from my experience, I put on a show, my hidden words entangled with the things that I know, smiles surround me, they glance by my feet, their inner beings amazed by my beat. I beat my drums, I play my strings, they show me their affection, this is where I get my wings, they say I can fly, it seems I can soar, my music so perfect, they keep asking for more. I do what I love, and they love what I do, music is my life, I am so happy that I can share it with you.
Glorious are the days we ride, my love. You and I riding in the morning light. Passions racing hearts are thundering. Sunrise explodes pink and purple streaks across the sky. You and I smiling, riding together in the first light. Kindred spirits racing together chasing the morning star. Intoxicated on the morning air. Nowhere, but here in this moment. Glorious is the day we ride.
Happiness (acrostic) Happiness is found within not in people and things Acceptance of the present regardless of what fears/ inner demons you may be facing Persistence in seeking love and happiness inside ourselves so we may experience the abundance of love and beauty that encompasses us Patience with ourselves as we learn and grow through our personal trials and tribulations life often presents to us, unexpectedly Inside ourselves are all the answers we seek, believe in yourself with a smile on your face Never give up on yourself! Challenge your belief systems with an open heart and a positive mind set Endless love & happiness awaits you, seek it consciously without delay Spirit of love is the essence of our original form; happiness is our natural state of being Smile in the face of adversity and feel your spirit soar to new heights experiencing love, peace and happiness from this moment forward.

Life is you and me, sometimes we wish to be free, but If we stop to think a minute, this is life and were in it, so dont take advantage of what we got, this is life so give it a shot, so go out there and show who you are, and stop wishing on that shinning star, because you can make that wish come true, this is life and its for you.
S-peak not the truth, pleasant or not, I-n my mouth, silence resounds; G-ive me your smile and not a frown, N-od your head and I'll understand. L-ift up my spirit as I do the rest, A-ccept me for what I am and my weaknesses, N-eeding your special love, care and sweetness, G-od rewards you a thousand folds if you can give. U-pbeat so much of your capabilities, A-ll of us have something to share; G-uide me to make the stars not out of my reach, E-nigma of my strength is you, my God's gift. Sign language helps you to understand me, for I am a child who is a hearing impaired. Aug. 11,2012 Note: I composed this poem lovingly dedicated to exceptional kids especially the HI.

BEDTIME MAGIC Sprawled under nightscape of galaxy bright Tiny sequins pulse on blaze of luster, A beaded stars nova bursts on flight Into a full-blown montage, the lawns flicker Reams of tales climb on visions lit by dappled view While children's breaths gleam of fantasy hayrides, And fairies jut out from chapters to touch the hue Yearning to blend into a ladder that divides The seashore from a skyline blushing streams; On one unmentionable lightness of firework glory Tinseled rhinestones kindle hopes of angelic dreams, Holding a cachet of flowered moon for bedtime story Enchanted, their mother blows a peppermint kiss Staring at gems waltzing high up on glittered air, Threads of her locks meshed by twinkles of lullaby bliss As graceful nebulae cuddle sweetened hours, ever fair Rounding her infants, wonders of night magic sigh Stars radiant dip into eyes; winking good night, goodbye! © ** * For Gautami Phookan's Sweetest Touches Of Verse By nette onclaud
Yesterday, snapshots of life framed the sky All past timelines refilling mind's pages; My chapters from youth's byways lingered, when Troubles of identity reached a sharp peak. They Seemed to question a need to conform, but So undaunted was I to be my own imprint. Far the miles my feet wished for something else, Away from usual paths in need of new quests. Now, I listen to spirit enlightening my days It cradles a stillness borne out of reflection. Looks like the rebel within has withered As I embrace the beauty of today's mellowing. Though rough winds trigger anticipation They're washed by night's reckoning; Here in a space of tenderness, I listen To the rhythm of moon bouncing: paced twirls Stay within my center with ease and compassion. Oh snapshots drift as mere apparitions; I enter light's arc blazing, while fluid instincts Believe the past has forged a sense of rebirth. In calm acceptance, my heart cherishes this wisdom; Yesterday brought forth the deliverance of my soul. Yesterday's Acrostic Contest by nette onclaud
Am I the only one who's feeling there is something very wrong with all of this , I can't seem to get anybody to listen not even when I raise my fist. How can they not see what I see ,has everybody lost thier mind I say, Why can't they see what it is that is making them act this way. Have you taken a look around to see there's something that has changed, When you look into peoples eyes Lord how you can see the rage. No compassion for thier fellow man as if they have never ever cared, For the future of mankind and how we all should be aware. Saw a friend of mine the other day he was acting a little strange , I can't help but wonder just when , how , and who's the blame. This power and greed is consuming us all we just can't seem to stop Stepping on our brothers & sisters as we race to the top. Where's the love ,the kindness ,the hope and faith we use to live by, How we allowed ourselves to sink so low I' will never know why. Still I will contunue to spread the word which has always been, Be good and love one another as you are learning not to sin. Please don't be another wreck that has been pushed to the side , If you' listen to the one and only word you will know why. We will all band together so we can stand tall and free, It is one simple word and that is love how could you nor see. TAC
Now who would of thought the thoughts that would truly get the mind lost in fragile thought? So much on our known life, about unknown death when we laugh at others but at ourselves we really cry, in our very own hidden truth lies, amongst our own poeple who we defy, until we fight, for wrongs for personal rights, **** the darkness is what make us appreciate the light, I dont talk the talk nor do I walk the walk because I walk my talk while I swagger and swerve im my talks through these walks, Life can get so messy with death that its time for those of us here to grab the broom so God can mop, I live life to the fullest with what little I have because I dont have a lot, I live life shitty sometimes like almost everyone else like it or not, Im not special Im so unique Im individual with word talent I know I got, I know what I dont have so its important more knowledge among me is sought, I can be wrong half the time but can still make it 100% right I was self-taught among a young soul that seems to be bought, I got a bad limp but dont get me wrong I can still gallup through darkness while I jog lost in the early morning fog waiting to be patiently found in the midnight lounge where I trot, Truly lost so easily in profound hard thoughts litterally running from the cops waiting to duck and dodge from open gunshots, Bodies and shells drop where caskets are made among a dying crop, I can still make a splatter where there was just but a tiny dot, I used to have merely nothing now atleast I can truly say I have a safe spot, I was found looking for truth in lies lost in thought....

Growing old to some may mean dying; Relinquishing the attributes of youth. Once we become seventy or eighty, What more of life's left; is this true?

~~~~~ Oh, Holy Night ~~~~~ Oh, the voices ring on high. Holiday music is playing. Hymns are sung while moon is nigh. Our prayers, to God, we're saying. Love and laughter everywhere. Yet underlying it all Neath the happy banter we share Is the solemn event we recall. God gave his son for us all. Hold your heads up high and sing. This is the day to praise our King. ~~~~~ oh, holy night .... the stars are brightly shining ~~~~~

S Stars like stalactites, suspended in a sapphire sky T tremble on a satin tapestry A as I ascend, awe-struck, I into their icy incandescent light. R Resplendence enwraps me as I W wend my way through a white-hot A astral arc, Y yearning for something just beyond my grasp. . . . T Treasures await me. O Of that I am sure. T Tails of argent comets swiftly pass me as I climb new H heavenly heights in hushed E expectation. S Surging past the shimmering rings of Saturn, I see in the distance a T throne of gold set in a taffeta tableau; the stars behind me now A appear as small glowing asterisks. I have R reached transcendence, and I S sparkle. written 2/19/12 by Andrea Dietrich Inspired by "Stairway To the Stars" Poetry Contest of Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S

Go far away, beyond the dark skies, in this time of day, see the universe through my eyes. At night, the moonlight, shines so bright like stars, you follow me, no matter where you be, you're always there, the most mystical sight by far. Every time I see you, I make a wish whenever a star goes by, what I want to do, is to have the will to fly, I would fly into your world, for you are the moon that shines in my eyes. Fly into the galaxy, beyond in my memories. The universe is amazing, a place to be free, a sight of wonders, a sight of endless colors spreads wide, I see your world, just by a glare at the moon looking straight into my eyes .

Embracing Earth Embracing Earth I write this poem Me, looking at the morning glowing Being lost in flowers and trees Reeling from life's mystery Air all filled with sweet bird song Clearly it's where I belong Inspired By all life's mystic charm Nicely filled with peace and calm Gleaming, feeling free from harm Embracing Earth, I feel life's power And all those magic colored flowers Really, they're so beautiful The sun shines down as the rain does fall While fish swim in the shiny pool. 5 July 2014 @ 1535hrs.

I am human, aware of imperfection, even through different races, their misunderstanding and affections. My name means bravery, to stand against fears, to hide my tears, to fight off my misery. My name means to understand, we all look different, but we all live in the same world, the same as our human hands. My name means to live, travel in the earth's air, nothing can compare, to my freedom will. Life is unfair and that's fine, Life is hard, but it's mine, my mind is my domain, I may look different, but my beliefs will stay the same, even in my own grave, you all will remember my name.

Sensing each step I persuade my body onward and up. Trekking up toward the light that adorns a precious cup, Angels around sing gentle sounds, I never heard before. Imagining the beauty that awaits me past that golden door, Reality sets in that I am rising upward to Heaven's gate. Why oh why, have I been chosen to be given this fate. Again I see the Angels floating past my mortal soul. Yelling praises to him, our Lord, I met a mortal goal. Truth is what they said, even though I had sinned many ways. Only the living truth will deliver you upward, glorious praise. These steps I take I see all my sins on each tread that I take. Hearing forgiven, forgiven, my soul gets lighter upon the wake. Evangelical songs being sung, I pray, in his name, for my sake. Stairway brightens as I reach the top, hearing a question, I stop. Tell me, your saviors name, He who died upon the hilltop. Angels await my answer, tis a simple question that he does say. Reveling, Jesus I say, he took our sins, saving all upon that day. Seeing in my heart, I believed, he said come forth, cross over this way.

Silent servants of the night unseen Employed in task of uplifting men Rendering to none evil for evil, send Victory where brokenness had been. Indefatigable humility, inexhaustible kindness Christ-centered love glowing with light Each so blessed alone knows true delight. Rich are the sunsets that overcomes blindness Earth's heroes unsung recorded there Willing hearts and willing hands will give from nothing Awaiting nothing, except the award of the king Rewarded for labor as for each quiet tear Drained from the soul awaken by another's woe Servants now served where God's glory glow. 2 Teach me, Lord, my lips to speak in soft, sweet tones That will not bruise a fellow traveler's wound Give me ears to listen and to hear those who groans Hands to lift a brother who adversity ruined Eyes to find them where in winter's wrath they are strewn Heart to hug them, love to save them, and I All of me in willingness to fight and for your cause to die That in my life your cross shall be lifted shown. O kind Master, and when I am tired and weary let me find Rest in you, and to unthankfulness make me blind.
Tomorrow is another day Outstretch your wings and fly Milestones can be reached Only if you beleive in thy self Relic in the thought Relax your mind and soul Or it just won't happen Will be put off and forgotten Instead of achieving set goals So bask under the sun Ask for a little help from above Never doubt miracles from God Or question His motives To make things happen Hunger will disapate Every plate shall be filled Rejoice and sing aloud Dance to your hearts content Another sunrise is coming You're going to just love to see
Bountiful castles with walls of sand Each grain an intricate part Albatross squawk in high demand Con morsels from those with soft hearts Hot bodies bask in the blazing sun Bikinis boast dangerous curves Lifeguards patrol tanned to well done As surfers show off their steel nerves Nautical transports battle the swells Kites soar aloft dot the sky Enveloped in rays and happy kid yells Transfers to a new level high Blankets of color protect fragile skin Immense weight of stress melts away Nod off gently and try to imagine Going to work every day On a beach where work is like play Randy Steele Beach Blanket Bingo contest
Favorable and a faithful young lady indeed! She's compassionate, bright, positive, confident, easygoing, single-minded and humble (unlike Charity) and she's the mother of Joy's niece! (I won't tell you all her name…I'll leave it as an anonymous thing until later on of course) A pretty, prudent, humble and joyous individual, bearing all of the traits her sisters lack: hope, joy, charity, and so much more! Above all, this is the trait she builds up before she passes away: TRUE, GENUINE, & TREASURABLE LOVE <3 I believe she evidently found the love in her life…a boy that's poor in the world's standards, but rich in heart…he shares most of the traits she has and he has some she doesn't have…and vise versa! They were like two peas in a pod and they were destined to be with each other for eternity (strangers to best friends to a cute, charming couple)! Tranquilizing like a violin her voice is! She's a surprise at every corner! She has a priceless, graceful voice greater than many! She's unpredictable and untamed with enthusiasm and curiosity (much like her daughter) and takes it on another level! Has a hilarious side of her, though she's too bashful about it getting out of control in front of everyone, including some of her family and friends . . . She brushes her hair to try to let go of the embarrassment she feels inside; likewise, she's grooming away the gloom in her solitary bedroom and wants her sister, Charity, to reflect upon her for one (she feels left out when she's hanging around her because she's self-centered and doesn't notice her, only herself)! She refuses and breaks her heart, once pumping with plenty of effulgent, extra-incredible exuberance – thanks a thousand for your ignorance, Charity! Have a giving heart like Faith, thumping with triumph, thundering wonder and thanksgiving! All 4 of the sisters should gather and preserve faith forevermore!
A man is sleeping in a bed Sleeping , when he should be awake Evolving a body in coldness, when he wakes up Emotions of a curious mind Kind thoughts of a distant happiness Ears stretching to the childrens laughing outside Rules of eternity struggles with his lonely mind Sanity´s sanctuary is the longing of his heart Swimming in oceans of philosofies Embracing the Hope, when he´s looking at the sky Enough faith to let the hope grow Killing old selfpity of the past Irresistable in his affection on humble hearts Nagging novice noise is far away Glad, when he finally found the right ways at last
S sunshine so enticing U unfolding adventures abound M melodies bellow all around M more time for free flow of thought E endless energy embodies me R reving the engine so I can be free
Love is pure beauty...at least, that's what I thought at first...don't spend your time unwisely, searching for temporary love that's sugar-coated and fake...love is an unbreakable vow Oh! But, I wanna experience love at first sight (OH STOHP WHINING) - I need to have a faithful mate very badly, but I must remain self-controlled and patient, for the time will come! Vibrant sun smiles down on me...sun rays warm my heart of affection and heartfelt emotions - hatred is an unwanted guest! An annoying pest! It envies our everlasting love, blossoming like a flower in spring Enlivened by your innocence and pleasurable friendship - does she truly love me or is is just my impossible-to-achieve dream I dream...caught under your wicked spell! You're an enchanting oath that I don't..loathe
You judge me because you don't like my hair You judge me because of my birthmark You judge me because I am fat You judge me because I look different You judge me because I don't have "swag" You judge me because I am not the richest You judge me because I don't have the nicest things. You want me to change my hair? You want me to get rid of my birthmark? You want me to lose weight? You want me to look normal? You want me to have swag? You want me to be came the richest? You want me to have the nicest things? Well guess what I love my hair! I love my birthmark! I love that I am not skinny! I love that I don't have swag! I love that I am not the richest! I love that I don't have the nicest things! And I am not changing for no one !
Imagine my Real view Inside of you. Stop and see too.

Right now I'm not blaming you… Pretend I have not had the Privilege of hearing those Lines before. Tell me. Eternal glare on my Sunglasses, which I wear at night. Only an annoyance… Never to be worried about. When with you, I feel like An ice pick could go Through my Ear and into my brain, and I'd experience a similar Reaction. I'd like to Go drink cheap wine and Lay in the back of my truck, on an old mattress. And sing— Sing anything—as long as it's Santana…or soft Slipknot…
I feed my love hunger in sad songs I stop living my life in the shadows of my sorrow I enjoy the happiness in small things I'm calling sometimes the loneliness I need myself back and I miss...You I'm a dreamer and I hope the peace will follow ...The World.

I. --- Paulette knew he'd love the present and Excitedly watched as he carefully took the box And opened the lid to reveal, her heart inside Crepe paper surrounded it, gently holding an Echocardiogram of her love for him Only last month, she was wheeled into the E.R. Now, the doctors said her prognosis was good Edward pulled the strip from the crepe nest And, alternated between it, and Paulette's smile Realizing that many years of her love lay ahead To wrap him, full, in life's greatest gift How could he adequately express his happiness? II. --- People oft lose their lighted sight Each winter solstice that annums around As days shrink some benevolence cooled Credit given where credit should not be found Economy trumps our brotherhood's cards On the holiday morning, when all is spread Near tree, menorah, prayer rug, symbol iconic Equal time, regarding the desolate neighbor As joys of family and friends ring the room Reaching inside ourselves can we reach To express the love our God implores Helping to remember, peace on Earth III. --- Pomegranates and oranges sluice sweet tang Even as members gather and sleepily greet Adults sit, small children excitedly flit about Carefully examining tags, boxes and stockings Eagerly they plead with eyes for permission Once you were that young too...that magical Now you point and sip tea or coffee, and smile Every generation brings its own traditions As a talisman to the next's memories to come Rife with sentiment, are day's mellow memories To ancient minds in some far future times Hardly believing that all those years transpired © Goode Guy 2011-12-10 "God bless us, everyone" - Tiny Tim for those unfamiliar... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrostic

The ocean seems so relaxing when you hear the wave Healing sounds that can clean a soul and save Even when the waves brings in an unknown Dodging the sadness can be shown And the things become more easy None will dance with balance so steady Can a person by the ocean feel free of fright Embarking conquest with passion that last in the day and night Out on the beach on the sand we dance on a spot For we hold our friends and an family a lot Tricky the waves move with a trance each day Hardly understandable to what I have to say Even when the wind pushes the water most Onto the sand by the ocean cost Cites that people love to see and use as a passionate source Even when it the wind blows the ocean waves set a different course And finely the wave pulls back and forth in a lash Notes that make music in every ones ear with a splash
How did I breathe before you were near? Each lonely feeling made to disappear. Listening to your voice is music so sweet. Looking upon you my heart skips a beat. Oh how this feeling changes my life. Lost in this moment I know no pain or strife. Our joy and promise I am certain of; Victorious union written in stars above. Everything I am, I give you my love. www.VillageMatchmaker.com

She looked at me with her eyes Healing everything even my lies Even when I am descending She never gives me an ending All becomes peaceful with no pain Not pushing her away I gain Acting if she is my own Never she is harder than stone Generating pure spirit is a cure Evening lights shine so pure Love of all things she holds Some love stands in time so bold
Picky child I was before & still am as I'm writing this picky, petite poem – I am different now…I've changed for the better, though it was a challenging chore Clever and cheery teenager I am in the present and past, getting used to foods I once didn't adore Kangaroos hop with hope happily, tigers hunt wildly & sneakily, cats meow for people food & to receive a feel-good rub (independent, little & companion-like), dogs yap for attention (dependent, little & big buddies), ants gather & work, flies hover around a heap of droppings, debris & remains/deceased bodies, hyenas attack & laugh their tails off, wolves get into their private packs, fish swim playfully with the family, gofers barrel & eat up the veggies from my garden, cheetahs run at full speed, finches chirp their childish, changing-up-the-tune chants, dutiful dolphins go with the wave's ascending & descending flow, rabbits hop & chew on carrots cheerfully, lions RAWR & laze around on fields of golden grace, bears huddle with cubs & hide in solitary, dark caves, enormous elephants eloquently walk about on the African, swaying savannas & tons of terrains much like California in some sense, lambs graze in their field-of-a-maze, looking eagerly for their shepherd, lizards explore, roaches scatter around on the kitchen & bathroom floor, bedbugs bite for the sake of their sick appetite, etc. ; is there something new to learn every night and day? (The answer is yes by deh way) I guess I have to do some research and explore some more on these subjects – that's my next chillaxing, cool chore! Yet, I still go back to my picky, old, childlike, yet innocent habits – picking foods that I cherish most and I implore for more scrumptious dishes that I can hardly ignore & boast about it more and more till my mouth becomes sore! SCORE! (means SUCCESS!, I nailed it, or other definitions behind it)

Snuggled deep beneath my sheets, Imaginary thoughts electrify my heart beat, Lacy dresses that shimmer and shine, Eight days away from work flutter through my mind, Necklacesess and rings dipped in white gold, Time is ticking; my patience fits a child's mold. Neighborhood lights twinkle through my frosted blinds, Illuminating my bedroom walls with colorful Christmas designs, Gradually my lids grow heavy, while I attempt one more peep, Hoping that the dancing snowflakes outside my window the ground will decide to keep, Telling myself tomorrow mornings will come faster if I fall asleep.

Jagged, hunting knife in hand…I chop up chunks of meat for my pet jaguar…he fires me up with painful passion – he hands me one of his 9 lives with his handy, giant paw . . . I'm shocked - I didn't expect this at all . . . he caught me before I was gonna make an embarrassing fall - thank you, fuzzy friend for helping me stand tall and all! Ahh! Look at his talons…his claws rip through human flesh and animal flesh…bird flesh also! This particular jaguar, by the name of Spy Jaggerswag, has a desire to hunt down anything that moves; he even chews up outrageously massive roaches when he sees them, crawling about on the forest floor or on a forest tree Giving Spy his meal with boldness by throwing it into his big bowl, he runs hungrily towards his bowl and devours it in seconds with one bite literally – I hesitate with sudden fear…ooh…at least it wasn't a chunk of me, right? He won't eat me up – I'm his outlandish owner anyhow…though he's vicious and spiteful at times - run with your might - let me race you to see who wins - this will be totally tight! We're taking fearless flight, despite our lack of light, but we're not succumbed to fright, alright? xD You're something else - we sit on the bricked wall, sparkling anew in a moon-drenched night Unpredictable nature is how I describe his nature…with wildness I must add! His coat is as black as midnight and his eyes penetrate my soul – green and yellow with twisted, breathtaking beauty and blazing angst Ah yes, he has a good side of him nevertheless – he's as harmless as a kitten and I massage his velvet-like, ebony fur with blissful admiration and I have no fear when he's near my side – he saves me from upcoming trouble and he's not a foe, but he's a remarkable friend, though at first I was ahh!-frightened of him – he doesn't intimidate me, but still catches me off guard and I tease him back…we do play pretty rough no doubt about that! RAWRZ! He sneaks right behind me, scaring me out of my wits – that silly, gigantic cat! He's ferocious obviously, but he does have a bit of spunk and awesomeness in him! I thank Spy for not having me for his feast – he's burly, brave and beast! ~inspired and dedicated to my trustworthy, furry buddy/big black cat by the name of Spy. He's one of my favorite pets of all time. No joke!

Bow down to blissful feelings and noons well-spent Listen for a moment if you have time for my pleas I feel bliss once again, showering upon me like a waterfall fo wonderfulness Soaring too high in the current of the aqua-blue sky Swallowed up in my lonely tide, but this alienated ambition sheds bliss upon me - solitude has no reason or excuse to interfere with my happiness (what are you waiting for? Fight back!)

When I made this piece of art I realize it was to test my creative skill Reviewing what I can do with wire part Even when the part does not stay still The swerving of wire Hard to bend the way I wanted Ended up hurting my hand and setting it on fire Grinding my teeth to hide my pain that was what I intended I realize how hard it is to bend things to make a shape Removing ins and outs that is in consistent After all the debate in my head I had a headache For some reason I created an animal shape I felt content Feelings ran in my mind that I was satisfied with my Art Even when I felt tired and in dismay i did not part

Hope is all I believe Opportunity up your sleeve Prosperity on the rise Eternity never dies
Charity to others means giving to you Helping all fellow (wo)man is part of the plan Righteousness existing in you be the clue Integrity to self above everything else Spiritual intent must be in cement This will save the earth giving new birth Jesus Christ what more must I say? Earthly bound fear is nothing to steer Sex is used to keep hold of you Utterly lustful desire leads to fire Suffering this state tough one to equate
Behind the scene I will do my part. Endeavoring to work with all of my heart. Helping where I see the need. I will do my best to plant a seed. Never complaining or speaking harsh, Doing my best right from the start. Teaching others how to work together. Holding on to integrity in every matter. Encouraging others one by one. Sowing good seed till the day is done. Choosing always to make wise choices. Enjoying the journey along the way. Nurturing others from day to day. Ending this poem with a big "Hooray".

Jubilance is key to living a good and happy life! Live life to the fullest with me! Man, I can relate to you! We all go through our ups and downs! I wish you good luck and fortune in this life. Umm…I'm speechless – you make me smile all the way! You make my day, buddy! Can you help me stay on track? I'm thankful that you got my back and got rid of the debt stack! And…I'd like to ask you – Can you sprinkle your salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor? In other words, can you inspire me to run the extra mile? Can you set my passion aflame and help me to stay strong till the end? You are the light on the surface of the chaotic ocean… Never stop believing and trying with all of your might – run and take flight until you reach the finish line! We will both thrive if we just strive…I can see you're running fast and hard just by the sweat of your brow! Wow, you amaze me by your talents…WOW! (Hope you liked my somewhat weird poem!)

So, party with me in this passionate, illuminated night; there's a disco ball hanging by the last thread – off with your head if you don't fight what I call the greatest fight – stand tall and give it your all and you'll stay by my side this shining night! Shimmer anew like fresh drops of dew on the green, green grass, for the grass on the other side of the hill is fading away into desert land….dry with remorse, hot with discord, getting outtah course, the expense – they must afford without uttering a single sound-of-a-word! Release your wings from bondage's chains and take wing out of your captivity's cold chambers that buried under by the snow of the perilous past!~ I lost my hopeful speeches that has been tucked into my memory files…We need a happily ever after after all! Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! You kill'd me inside and out and I won't pout like a child, running about! You killed me with your lonesome song and I have no slight doubt about that, if you know what I am speaking of no doubt! Are you damaged by your suicidal depression? Do you have any clue what I've been through? Anxiety took a toll on you – you're in its session…it's controlling you like a puppet, doing whatever the puppet master tells it to do! You are fenced in by the absence of hope and the approval of avarice appeal! Ignorant to the time, drifting away from your grasp! You hold your breath and you gasp! At last, you understand how important it is to immediately dispose of your expense! Just reap what you sow and pay up for your sins! Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! For some odd reason, I love uneven numbers…some say they love even numbers, but whatever suits their fancy, or as I say it, whatever floats their demented boats!!
P is the third part of Expense, the acrostic series....... Practically, my cup is half full instead of half empty, but I am proven wrong! I'm swimming in the river of my emotional debt mixed with other distinctive debts…doused in drastic dread! Is this reality in a nut shell or is this frankly living hell? Where does your high spirits truly dwell? Keep in clean, you gutter mind of a foolish man in PRISON for committing HURTFUL crimes – he has to pay up so much – his expense is SKY-HIGH, but he is not shy to pay it up and he longs to fly again with un-tattered wings, but fails greatly due to HIS poor decision making…who knows why he did the things he did, which leads to his ultimate consequence – his absence of life…the aftershocks of his death still haunts the prison to the extreme-est of the extreme! He haunts and taunts all that come in – once you're in, you never, ever come out no matter what! My noggin is runnin' wild in circles and my mind is whirling like a seething storm that's body-quaking me… controlling me like a steel-made robot…these particular pangs of regrets makes my guilty conscience overflow with low self-esteem and anguish… lamentation has fallen upon us all! We all must stand tall…remember to brave & hop over our obstacles optimistically and assertively like a horse during his training for the biggest race he has ever trampled into! Do you have any clue what I've been through? My notions that are spinning around in my brain is like the vegetables, water & the spices, mixing well & swell into a stew, restoring peace to my verse…Is my life a gift or a curse? Is my life overflowing with mirth? I wish I can give a portion of it on Earth to avoid making destructive actions…I need several tragedies in reverse to settle me down and make complete my fulfillments! Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! I've been losing my mind since the day of my birth and so on and so forth! Need I say more? I have so many research projects to explore! There is so much GOLD to find! Maybe I'm just a boy, tattered, torn and sadly, blind! I hope you don't mind, Lord – forgive me, oh Lord of Accord! I need to just forget and forgive the past & move forward in the guiltless future! I NEED TO RUN THE EXTRA MILE LIKE A RUNNER, REACHING TO THE FINISH LINE! Give me the strength to move on! Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! I WANT TO RUN THE EXTRA MILE LIKE A RUNNER, REACHING TO THE FINISH LINE AND I'M FEELIN' FINE WITH MY HEART, POUNDING WITH DREAD-LESS AND UNEXPIRED DETERMINATION…NOT EVEN TIRED…. OH no, not at all – I run with my pack of wolves and I'm as sturdy as a wall, giving it my all…
E is the beginning of EXPENSE, the acrostic series....... Expensive…Imagination caught my eye…I couldn't afford losing you badly, even if you're worth is worth a pair of decent-looking shoes, but what are really made of in the inside? Slip your feet inside my shoes for one moment in your life…for all my life, I was left with a mystery with absolutely no clues…do I have to find my way out of my solitary dorm? The ghosts are jeering at me and intimidating me again and again and again and again… scaring me out of my boots! No one gives any hoots! Untangle me from the comforting shell of fatality – a story let to tell! You're only a phony fool, in other words, a worthless, inadequate tool! I'm climbing the Mountain of Gracious Glory, gaining back my alienated ambition – I know where the wicked wind flows – it flows in the land of milk and honey…it sweeps something grand into my brain and seeps inside of my wobbly body altogether…it marinates in my brain signals and I receive thoughts of endless sensations and luminous notions! Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! My noggin is runnin' wild in circles and my mind is whirling like a seething storm that's body-quaking me…controlling me like a steel-made robot…these particular pangs of regrets makes my guilty conscience overflow with low self-esteem and anguish…lamentation has fallen upon us all!

Floating and flying in the night All that I see, can it be, a magical sprite? I follow her through a foggy, damp wood Red and brown leaves sprinkle my cloak's hood Yes, I now know that fairies are real Running and jumping with joy, my soul's wounds heal Earthly beings that no one else sees All is calm in the forest, only the buzzing wings of bees Love cannot hurt me for this moment I hold near My sorrow has left me, the world I no longer fear
Every one of you must listen carefully to me. Time told a story that we all began to mimic. Each day became the same, losing our Ta Da. Rightfully we all went separate ways and far. Not one, but two kept your hopes by praying. Amazing watching them go and watching all! Like you I was in disbelief without my Ta Da. Goodness gracious Lord Almighty I made it in. Rare I tell you all marveling too when I'm near. Astonishing sights left behind but ahead a gate. Come here come now Wallah wants me to meet, Especially conquering this amazing life of fate! ® Registered: Ann Rich 2006

When you're the one who gives us the health to work and strength to go on. Black Friday You have strong hold on our people and need to let go. Cause our reedimer lives. By: Alice Maragh 11/24/07
Remember you are never truly alone Enjoy the talents you possess and share them. Learn from your mistakes and grow in faith. Invite others to smile, to love, to be unselfish. Equally distribute the message and your kindness. Find relief in knowing you are with God.
Hancing your life to further points. Applying yourself to more conjoints. Proud of life and your self-esteem Proud of you following your dream. I am trying to hold up my dreams. Now I am looking at what seems Ever after, Something More, Something great, like happiness.
X is the second part of EXPENSE, the acrostic series....... X-tremely NOT un-cheap! X-ray my pain that's been going off track like a wacko, kid's train…you got me sidetracked and distracted on the road of ecstatic paradise & entangled reverie… it drives me to insanity & I'm unfortunately slipping into the next languishing, lament-cemented, little lane… driven insane – if only you would look through my pain-staking pane…you aren't pensive, but rather judgmental and loud as hell on Mount Heavens! Passion in me rots & it wasn't ripened with rose-beauty & reserved reverie… I'm climbing the Mountain of Gracious Glory, gaining back my alienated ambition – I know where the wind do blow…it sweeps something grand into my brain and seeps inside of my body altogether…it marinates in my brain signals and I receive thoughts of endless sensations and brilliant ideas! Reality's mere demise ripens my rage, intimately concealed inside of me… yet, I am looking up at His sun-quenched sight and I appreciate His miracles that bestow happiness upon my lips, ascending them into a knitted smile of heavenly approval and bringing me to my delicious haven…Deplorable Reality's strategic tragedy stings like billion's of buzzin' busy bees out of their honey dens or hives! God has a way with words & Jesus Christ has a way with His words…It's extraordinary how Moses led the people to the Promiseland, despite the hardships they encountered with before they got what they were looking for & everything there made them dance merrily & it was divine shelter, protected and looked after by God, Most High of the Highest Heights Beyond Limitless Levels Above US All! It's brilliant how Noah made the Ark to save the animals and his family and friends with God's helping hand and led them to the grandest land of all! God is good and gracious forevermore! God is REMARKABLE beyond measure…better than all of our pleasures combined into one! The most powerful, loving Creator of all time! No one can beat that! Not even Satan himself – compared to God, he is a scrawny little rat, caught by his tail by the Cherished Cat! Every move I make….every dollar I spend… every time I waste time…every time you lie to me instead of telling me the truth of the situation you've encountered or the stories you share with a fake smile of glee pasted on your moon-shaped face, I always find myself puzzled out of reason and logic!! Doused in drastic, darkening dread!! ~
Only one life to live;guard it jealously. Deadly,painful and discouraging are thoughts of the past. Evaluating and remunerating on past misdeeds will break you down. Tell sweet good stories of past experiences. Only recount past achievements to move you forward. Happy are those that plan within their limits. Abstain from excesses;as this could be overbearing on your income. Plan your resources very well to include all essential things. Place a seal on a percentage of your income that will be permanently on resrve. Intoxicating is excessive spending;avoid it. Never venture into projects that are above your means. Emulating friends,colleagues and acquaintances,will surely ruin you. Shy away from gambling,betting and high risk investments,that will run you bankcrupt. Save for the rainy day.
Nothing is always the answer. Everything is sometimes an enhancer. Value the most important things. Raise your voice, and say something not too vengeance. Talk to seomeone who's enough to trust. Often say things that densest. Love just enough to be the greatest. Amaze the surroundings and be the smartest. Tuition for this world. Easy as can be.

shout shout shout it on out heavenly Father whats it about open hearts and praise Him without any doubt utter His name on high and do not stand and pout thank you O Lord for touching us with Your mighty clout lift lift us again so we can stand and shout In our hearts Lord love will never be stomped out for You have given us directions to follow from Your routes eternity awaits for all through your heavenly sprouts Tribute To The Father Son And Holy Spirit {Amen}
Shelter here sweet child of fragile soul. Take refuge from those raging Rapids of life, threatening to Overpower and drown you in misery. Navigate your way past the taunting Ghosts of past regrets and Turn to Me once more. Open the swollen eyes of your sorrow Weary one and come hither. Embrace My forgiveness and fear not; Run to Me and I will welcome you home.
Don't try to control things that are beyond you because, Eventually they will consume your inner Soul. Always try to do right, allow your visions and not your Thoughts to guide you when you can no longer trust your Inner self. For you to may fall to the temptation of evil. Never think about what you should of done because, You are the one that has to answer.

A walk in the clouds. Is what we all need to see heaven's holy city. Where our pain and trials are no more. Our tears gone forever,because we can see our Lord. In the clouds where we can see His love all around, shining like the sun over a rainbow after the summer rain. That brings us a cool breeze and drops of rain. On the rose that blooms and leaves us the sweet smell of love. That is endless and tenderness that only Jesus can show. So take a walk in the clouds closer to Jesus love.
Greater is He that sits upon the Throne. Omnipotent is our Lord God alone. Devoted is he and ever true, forever I will serve you.

How much cash did they have to shell out to get guys like Bryan Iguchi, Scotty Lago, and Xavier De La Rue to actually endorse that shit?

Ain't no substitute for a proper splitboard and these suck. You would have to pay me to take them. For $50 I'll take them off of your hands. You pay shipping. This the best I have to give you and it isn't going to get this good again...

This tutorial teaches you how to share a specific folder in your email account with others.
On an Exchange Server, you have the ability to share calendars and email folders with specific people on GAL. This may be useful for folders that contain emails regarding a particular project that you are working on with a team. In this tutorial, we will be covering how to share folders in your inbox with other people; we won't be talking about calendars.
These are the pre-defined roles in the Permissions tab. If these are unsatisfactory, you can also create custom permission settings:
It is not a good idea to share your entire inbox, rather you should share only the necessary folder(s)!
To share a folder, (let's call it Shared Folder) you must first give permissions for the person to see your account by giving them contributor permissions. After you do so, then you can give the person permissions (for example editor rights) for Shared Folder.
Make sure you're in Mail on the Navigation Pane
The easiest way to access another user's shared folders is to add yourself as their delegate. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you are actually their delegate: you won't get to delegate their calendar for them. But you will gain access to whatever mail folder they've shared with you when you add yourself as their delegate. It sounds confusing, but it is the cleanest way to access the shared folder.

Explaining the Motherhood Wage Penalty During the Early Occupational Career

Prior research shows that mothers earn lower hourly wages than women without children, and that this maternal wage penalty cannot be fully explained by differences between mothers and other women in work experience and job characteristics. This research examines whether the residual motherhood wage penalty results from differences between mothers and other women in the accumulation of work interruptions and breaks in schooling. Using longitudinal data for 486 women followed from ages 19 to 31 in the Minnesota Youth Development Study, we find that accumulated months not in the labor force and not enrolled in school explain the residual pay gap between mothers and other women.

City Guides > Shreveport
Shreveport: Relaxed Southern Atmosphere and Gaming GaloreShreveport has become best known for its Las Vegas style gaming in recent years. While anyone who enjoys casinos will have a great time at Sam's Town, The Eldorado, or The Horseshoe, there is plenty more to do here. Visit the Red River District in downtown Shreveport for shopping, music, and dining. You'll find that it's easy to walk to any of the attractions. The Sci-Port Discovery Center is kid-oriented, but adults will enjoy this interactive science museum as well. The IMAX theater here educates without being heavy-handed, and children will especially love the chance to pet a baby alligator from the nearby Red River." |
