In the midst of great turmoil and strife, There is a force manifestly to be heard…seen….touched A voice—ever so soft… yet loud enough to break mountains at their base It can make a grown man cry—can distort the finest face Lead the mother eagle back to its nest… Run its hands against a tumultuous sea to rest… Shedding tears of empathy when the woman, With child, is seen- alone…sore. . . distressed With mind enduring beyond mortal endurance With arms stretching across the universe of opportunities and darkness With eyes blossoming like those crazy sunflowers reaching to the sky… Suddenly… you will feel its yellow fires It is the very storm that knocks us down To the depths of humility...patiently waiting for the perfect time to strike, It comes like an earthquake and tremors the very soul into action... It is the war of mercy that will devour to create and rejuvenate! It tells the geese to fly south, whispering them in the right direction... It is the soft growl of the lion that wakes its babe to safety... Like music, it can soothe, or agitate, Its rhythms changeable…forgivable… When you take a wrong turn, a dissonant chord harsh as lightning will expel Suspended in the air—colors more mysterious than hell And when you love—oh how sweet love carries cherished lips cosmically…. A smile of the most precious melodies ring New colors—see it, new colors shall spring What this light truly means is to be revealed Only for the precious few who listen and truly feel Wrapped in the soft ribbons of love beyond all mortality Beyond space and reality Beyond the very tip of the mountain, That never had to be touched to be brought to its knees….. Not once did this force ever have to take the woman by the hand And say with conviction… "everything will be okay…." Because phenomenally… she would simply hear it in melody, Inspired by the blazing sun of a newly dawned day- Freshly caught tears of joy priding the lonely spider's web For Justin Bordner's Divine Intervention Contest Thank you, with love, Laura
Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am sad. Sometime I sing, sometimes I stammer Sometimes I dance on the music of my soul, Sometimes I dance on the fingers of one single person Sometimes I expect so much from others; sometime I myself can't meet my own expectations. Sometime I make fun of others and feel bad later, sometimes life makes fun of me and I smile Sometime I win and sometimes I lose, sometimes I don't even understand whether I won or lost. Sometimes I laugh as if whole world is with me, Sometimes I cry as if I am alone wandering in a strange land Sometimes I give up so easily Sometimes I work so hard that no one can stop me to achieve what I want Sometimes I am dynamic person, who wants to change the world, And sometimes I am a kid who expects anyone to embrace him tightly. Sometimes I feel happy about the achievement of my enemy Sometime I feel dejected with my own success. Sometimes I help others and show them the right path Sometimes I feel totally helpless and don't know where to go Sometimes I ask god to please give my past back Sometimes I pray to show me the way forward Life is composed of SOMETIMES and I just flow with that. U admit or not but you are also sailing on the same boat. So join me and enjoy it EVERYTIME as SOMETIMES life is very short!
A child's beauty contest I watched in such awe; young girl in a wheelchair to her father, his all. Escorting her on stage with such grace and pride; each so blessed to be at the others' side. A fragile princess in a purple pageant dress; twirling her first in her chair then lifting her to his chest. Their dance so inspiring; such an enchanting sight; so gently he lifted her high up to the sky. Sparkling, bright eyes and the most beautiful smile; none deserving of a crown more than this precious child. An imperfect body, viewed as a gift from above; her beauty matched only by a father's boundless love. Beauty in my eyes is not found in perfection; but in acceptance, uniqueness, love and dedication.

Many speak of paradise Many speak of paradise They've been taught it all their lives But maybe when it's time to go When that grand time arrives They'll find it's not so easy To find that place they seek It depends on how they've lived their lives Whether they've been strong, or weak. It's no good just believing One has to seek the truth To take a look so deep within Could furnish all the proof And when one finds that truth my friends Heaven is here, and now No one wants to live in Hell But most do anyhow. If one searches deep within They'll be no strife for they For they will change without a doubt So sweet will be each day Judgement, gossip, and the rest They just won't be, no more They'll find that there's a Heaven It is there within ones core 1 November 2014
Does not the pen yield its ink unto the bare page, For expressionism to spill forward expelling inspirations Liberal curve, it's the power of freedom of speech is It not. How many have died for what they believe in, What weight in blood soils, have these brave Individuals has cost in life's causes of the justice And righteous. These voices sounding can be heard even though The flesh flame has been extinguished, hope light Flickers in the darkest corner of silence, and it's mighty Winds wave can still be felt amongst the living. Know one stands alone in a justified cause, if the truth In the written words is spoken out loud, and is proudly Bared by the author. The next generations seeks our kindling fire, to inspire There small embers to burn more brightly let us encourage Such raw fuel to ignite, not smother it by smug self righteousness. Set ablaze the pages of the future generations, let their inspirational Spark spread, setting the very heavens a fire with enlightenment's torrent. In this world we are given the gift of speech, thought, and wisdom, For what other reason but to share the best of ourselves with others, It is the gleaming light that sizzles in the eyes of the human spirit, And severs us from the beast of the fields, and it is called Intelligence, Compassion, and the freedom of speech.

Golden are finite grains of sand, running smoothly through The hour glass of time, tiny precious moments of reflections Treasured gems, captured in thoughts of the shifting pages, Of the ever turning calendar months. Against the frosted goblet of remembrance, lie champagne Lipstick kisses, impressions left overs of smudges residue Of love's betrayal. Celebrations bursting bubbles of memory, turning into frothy foam, That slides downwards, off the empty bottle of regrets broken vows, Of the New Year's promises sensed past. A clicking symphony of tiffany tears, shed upon the satin pillow shams, Dried are the rose petals of passion, cold embers burn within the Hearth of the tender heart. Bold is the youthful yearling, whom stands upon the Oedipus of Emergence, strong is the inner being, a blossoms flower yielding, Yearning to sprout, to feel the warmth of the sun's loving grace, Yet banished beneath the weight of truth's injustice at the end. But in hopes faith it grows, lighting up the box window pane of reality, Climbing upwards towards the heaven's enlightenment of Tomorrow. Ripple do the waves of the timeless, one more waltz to dance, Another romance to enhance with their devotional trance, a Lingering flickering flame moves across the ocean of the broken Hearted lover, who listens only to the music's rheum. Oh in desires high pitch moment of consequence does not The innocent victim lie slain, at the footsteps of lusts threshold Of adulthood, evergreen is the tree of the New Year, and Loneienesses vines, creep along the life lines of the Devotional heart.

Faith is a powerful thing, asking for absolute trust. It allows you to believe that you are not all alone, here in the shadow of death. In times of persecution, some souls have little else. And yet it's unshakeable. Praying perpetuates hope, opening your heart to God. When you first feel Him enter, everything in life changes. Routine tasks take new meaning, filling existence with purpose. Until then you felt empty, languishing in misery. The love between you and God, has only strengthened your faith. It's His love that sustains you, not the words of those that say God is nothing more than myth.
Arise and fall; the cycle of life; birth and death are human plight. A life is lit and it burns short; when matches struck bring in discord. Flames burn dim or bright; many deny, their own bright light.
If you could relive an ancient day, which day, which day, which day would you say? First kiss, first date Or undo a mistake? . Watch your child be birthed again Go back and unhurt a wounded friend? Unsay a word? Unbreak a heart? Undrink that first drink? Unscar that first scar? . Or would you go to another place Feel your dad's hands See your mom's face? Laugh with your sisters Let little brother win that foot race . Maybe pet that dog just one more time Hear grandma recite that old nursery rhyme Maybe take up for the kid that got picked on Or hear again for the first time your favorite old song . Or tell your kids you loved them again and again No matter what they'd just done or how late they had been But you can't go in reverse to relive any day What you would have done Or what you would say . But you can say now what you wouldn't before You can be someone new open up a new door You can make a difference in your here and now You can't be a new when but can be a new how
When we were lost, How did we feel, Before we came to the cross Is God real ? Before that day, When we turn from sin, In a world in which we play, Tired of the pain deep with in. Jesus came to show a way, To make stright the path, For narrow is the gate, Yet here we are at last. Thru the days of wonder, Now you can see his Glory, His word are as Thunder, Now can you see the true story ? Yes, Our God is real, My eye's have seen from where i've Been, His love and grace my heart is sealed, He calls me friend. Forgiven, made whole, I now walk and talk to him, from the pit of hell from I was entering Jesus saved my soul from all my sins.
100 years ago a war began, A war that severely scared man. Bullets flew, bombs exploded, Lives were lost and morals eroded. 100 years ago a war continued, Causing deaths to increase by a multitude. Caught in a crossfire deep in a trench, Disease ridden and with a horrible stench. 100 years ago a war ended, Yet there were many wrongs never amended. Of families waiting for the loved one they yearn, Waiting for the ones that never return. At this very moment I lie on a bed, Free from tyranny and bloodshed. My heart pulsing with gratitude of what I know, Of the sacrifices made 100 years ago.
There is a place you can go that is full of only love and Warmth . you will be surrounded by a light that shines from the Heavens , Sprinkles of Silver and Gold. This place is filled with brilliant colors of Purple , vibrant Gold, all colors. not one Color is less significant then another , for every color is equal here . This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers. All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another . All Flowers are equal here . It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed . For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow. No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another . money holds no value , Where you live , what you own, has no significance here . You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens . A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you . Hate will be shed at the door light a old jacket of no use. There is a place of beauty and Worth. This place will not be found on Earth . It is a place where no one person is better then another .
In this world of Uncertainties I'm the man that you can trust And in my words of sincerity That my love would never last. And if you could only feel, what i feel for you You can ask me "why?" so you can see the truth Like our love that tightens the rope, Like a light that would give us hope. As you watch the dark skies Let me grab the moon for you, And as I catch the bright stars That's the way you can see me through As this planet turns as it always will And things go wrong and you don't know what to feel Hold my hand for it will make us strong Like a wind, we will carry on The wind blow that sings a hymn for you For they know what does love means for the two Love is blind, and not deaf So how's success if you're not ready to bet? In this poem with full of rhymes, A full of love, Babe can you be mine? I don't expect too much from you Why should I? If you complete my whole. "Till death do us part" that's what they have said But why do struggles crash them ahead? Don't ask me when my love will last, To count all of our quarrels, is that a must? Now and Forever is all that I promise No day dreaming and without reminiscence As the matter of time, as the time passes by Together we stand, together you and I A poem for my Girlfriend for our anniversary :) pls comment and rate... you are free to judge and criticize my work :) God Bless
Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013 I am who I am because of him He's the reason for my son's name He gave me my courage & my strength To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy Stand for the ones who can't To think and fend for myself I'm my Daddy made over Taught me to fight back To never back down How to pick myself back up When I've been knocked down Fight for what I believe I'm my Daddy made over He gave me my stubbornness Gave me my pride Gave me my temper Taught me not to take crap To speak my mind no matter who Work for what I want I'm my Daddy made over How to keep my emotions in check How to handle large amounts of pain When in trouble he always had my back He knew how my mind worked better than anyone I got it from him I'm my Daddy made over Even though he's gone I'll stand and continue on I may stumble I may fall May even get hurt along the way But I'll pick myself back up I'll dust myself off and stand tall I'm honored and proud to say I'm my Daddy made over Sabrina Niday Hansel ______________________________________________________________________ Placed 1st in "Unsung Hero" 7/2014 contest Also 3rd. in "Portrait of a Poet" 1/2014
I am the hypocritical Christian. I say I follow Christ, But I'm still consumed by my demons. I go to church on Sunday, But I refuse to invite someone back. I want to serve on mission, But I'm too afraid to act. They think I read The Bible, But I just fall asleep in it. They think I'm positivity and smiles, But underneath I'm death and addictions. They think I'm clean and pure, But I'm broken and mistaken. I say I'm not worthy of His love, But Jesus will never let me be forsaken. I pray long prayers, But inside they're empty repetition. It might look as if my faith is strong, But my core is too easily shaken. I say the things I'm supposed to say, But don't follow His actions or obey. I speak the truth the church wants to hear, But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe. I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough To be loved by God and saved through Christ, But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace; It's a free gift. I accept; Now forgiven, changed, and released. Thank You God, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Holy Spirit! In Jesus' Holy Name, We pray, Amen!

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

Money money, ringing in your tills, Calling us to worship, The hundred dollar bills. Bend our knees in wonder, Bow our heads in awe, At the power of the liar, Who now controls us all. From the darkest deep caverns, To the stars in the sky, From the infinite universe, To the strangers passing by. From your inner most conviction, To your laughing in the night, From everything you 're seeing, To everything out of sight. The new God has risen, To claim the holy throne, The one that we have emptied, Our hearts all cold as stone. The throne that we have emptied, We killed the rightful king, Sold his crown an sceptre, Pawned his sacred ring. Raised his bleeding body, Up on that bloody hill, The silent lamb still bleeding, As the money fills your tills.
It's unexplainable yet undeniable as incredible as that may seem Society says it's debatable, unfavorable but the impossible is inspirational to me You can be unshakable no fear of breakable you're completely capable of anything It's indescribable to be anti-gravitational not held down by fallible thoughts of man. It's not irrational in fact it's quite practical acceptably exceptional to be adaptable So go be sensational a professional radical Escape the natural and taste the magical You call me laughable my thoughts fallible cause this world's not bashful in its disdain But I've grown fanatical now I'm unflappable to touch the maximal and taste the valuable I see the beautiful in everything! *Based on first print in Debbie's contest rules Sponsor:Debbie Guzzi Contest Name: Rock My World Date: 4-19-14
I am Reality's angel resting on the broad shoulders of discovery the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you there is a creator of all things He is just and patient many still have fallen into the masses of shadow wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy I have seen grown men fall like rose petals and weaklings rise into unjust leaders forever the follower of furtive evil dominating only to remain inferior the most important answers lie in the unseen regions where no sense can fully give assurance the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn grows weary because of the distance it must take and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates it is knowing we are seeking something far that could very possibly not exist, that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense it is knowing all we really think we know is meaningless and yes—even a lie all that has been written thus far rests under my wings under the warmth in which you refuse to feel can you believe in me— though I am completely unseen? how much more difficult would it be to see Him?
I never knew I'd be in heaven In the autumn of my years. Or that I'd be immerged In the brilliant art of words, Or float above operatic notes, Or view ballet through My elated tears. I never thought I'd meet Inspiration face to face, Or feel it rise within me With a poet's surrendering grace. I just know that I'm contented As profound love keeps flowing From my impassioned heart. This is the gift that artists Of this world yearn to impart. Lord Byron inspired me most when I first became interested in poetry so this poem is dedicated to the inspiration I felt for the memory of this master poet.
be mindful human rights are human ways that lead down be careful the words above always remain wear no crown trap the sin destroy the lie of conceit look within don't consume all that you see you will feel wrong like fire
My own piece of heaven, a quiet little nook, With only the finest parchment in a leather book, A feather quill pen and an ocean of ink, My thoughts would never stop to think, Every single line I write would rhyme, My poetry would be beautiful and sublime, I'd be entertained daily, by Dr. Seuss, And, put to sleep nightly, by Mother Goose, Lessons from Byron, Shelley, Coleridge and Poe, Teaching me every single thing that they know. My own piece of heaven, will have to wait, Until one day, when I must meet my fate, So, for now I will have to be content, With my own words that may be heaven sent, Inspiration from my idols is all I need, Writing poetry in a notebook from Mead, With this cheap, plastic Bic pen, And a dream to be, just like them.
July 16, 2014- Inspiration for "When No One Reads" When no one reads, keep writing right now just might not be the right time.

Be patient growing your poet trees persistent, doing it for the right reasons dredge that sludge of truth stuck deep within your gut. Get it out, get words down just don't try so hard and please pay no attention to those lacking appreciation for your goddamned art. When no one reads please...keep writing.
Who can hear, the mornings call? The dead dove's body, as it des fall. Who can see through, the dead man's eyes? As the burning sun, falls from the skies. What once was new, has now become old, What once was alive, has now become cold, What you believed, was worth a lot, Is burnt to ashes, in the melting pot. Let's start again, I hear them say, Let's start again, another day, Let's make again, what we made before, Spill more blood, on the kitchen floor, Lift the cross, up on the hill, Load the guns, to fight and kill. Fight and slaughter, till there's non one left, Till your mind is empty, your heart is deaf, You thought that, I was a soldier too, You thought that I said, I love you, But I tell you now, and I tell it true, The angles of heaven, and the angels of hell, Are riding now, to the ring of deaths bell. What you thought, was silver and gold, Are ashes and dust, on the open road, What you knew was good, what you knew was true, The hot sun has dried, like the morning dew, The very memory, of hope and despair, Is lost in the hole, of your soul laid bare. The empty hole, behind the clouds, The music and the laughing crowds, Are dead and gone, have faded away, As a new sun rises, on a bright new day, I tell you now, and I tell you true, As the hammer of me hits the anvil of you
Forgotten you As your mind collects the memories of yesterday Forgotten You Epiphanies tie into knotty strings of realization That very moment. . . You merely exist Back then. . .those smiles Those. . .distant laughs Some you remember by name Gone now maybe Like the exhalation of the wind Others dispersed in the world of arbitrary happening Like leaves from falling, man-made trees There is no doubt that they have Forgotten you Activate the bomb Ignite the fuse And you're on next year's history book Never forgotten But drained of all remaining good That smile you gave That happiness The warm embrace so long ago Salt-coated with piles of rubbish Over last remaining mental spurts of comfort Evil, evil, evil, evil, EVIL. . . Always absorbed and remembered . . .though never forgiven. . . All good and gracious sentiments Packed up in a box set nonchalantly in Downstair's storage . . .that chair with the broken leg in the corner of the room That mangled cobweb holding a dangling, lifeless spider A drowned sailor's hat drifting through the current of the ocean The single tear from a soldier's vigilant, memory-stricken eye The frustrating thoughts of a mute The unchanged. . .HATED deformations Forgotten you. . . One soul brings to light weary, unthought-of happenings Wedged deep into what she can only imagine With not even a hint of understanding . . .of the pain. . . .of the bewildering distortions Of the ugly. . . One soul merely vomits sickly verse after verse As humanity embraces its downfall The poet hangs onto her unjustifiable, forgotten. . . Words

You try to lead a auspicious life, Trying your best to mirror Christ, Well done my faithful servant is the remark you want for your fight, Church is your Paradise, Everyone thinks you are swell, You have the faith of a mustard seed like Jonah inside of the whale, Suddenly out the blue rapid pains invade your body, Oh Lord I trust in you, My faith will never disembody, Until one day you give in to pain and frantically need a answer, The doctor sheds a tear, I'm sorry but you have cancer, Stage 4, Now you are in your last days , This is not a phase, Your days are blue even in the mist of sun rays.. Your family is in a rage over this information, Hopeless despair engaged like a Jew in concentration, Separated from humanity equals abrupt insanity, Cancer can be depressing, Chemo is very stressing, Fatigue forbids you from assessing your blessings, I know its very difficult , Just hold on and continue to pray, Because at the end of the day, God has the last say...

Noah's ark was real not a fiction It had a door to escape God's affliction Noah delivered a warning message But the folks mock their own presage Men grew in sin and matured in transgression And ignored Noah's loving confession The Door stood open a long time Until time begin to climb The Lord finally shut the Door And the rain begin to pour 120 years of grace finally came to a halt God administered judgment by default The Door was a glorious type of Christ He was the Lamb of God who was price Jesus said "I am the Door of the sheep" He is the only Door of that Great ship Jesus is our Door of salvation Wherein we enter and float as new creation Behold He stands at your door this day and knock Let Him in, you'll find pasture as a partaker of His Holy flock Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep- John 10:7
Floating scents of blossoms Walking in the ashes Of Derek's heaven Inbound upon vision Falling crystal teardrops Summer dew On the ground Beautiful gardens surround Explosive in nature's beauty Blossoms of all shades Bouquet the very earth In the sweet beautiful aroma In the scent a beautiful fragrance Entering the house Blue awakens senses Opening vision Falling to it flattery Famous artists everywhere In its twentieth century grandeur A harvest of art Entering a peacock held on my vision My mark on time I saw a Picasso Holding the kitchen In a brightened air Renoir held the upstairs In a setting burning warm A pretty maiden In pose Speaking volumes inside of me Snake skin slipperS Upon the beds ground In the wardrobe a rustic jacket Christian Dior Upon the bed Lay sweetheart pillows A lady's promise On her fisherman's Safe return Each window A different picture Picturesque beautiful Different views Of the grounds Walking towards the lake Birds singing In its gentle breeze Nature whispers Rustling in the trees Leaves one's soul Whistling in the leaves In a silent stare Across the water Inbound sound A fish plops Spiraling ripples on the surface Breaking reflections A gentle breeze Caresses the brow Aroma flares Within the nostrils Trees standing Their ground Centuries looking over Heavenly standing tall Amongst the blossoms The sun Will forever smile In moonlight Silver shadows casting the soul In all its beauty In the colours of a butterfly Kissing heaven Upon its air Blowing a butterfly kiss Fluttering beautiful Floating on Glebe's breeze Falling around Glebe house

To play as if today Is your only chance. Some say, "It's just a game." Have they done the Victory Dance? When hard-earned Victory Was finally at hand, Have they felt the glory Raining down from the stands? To do or not to do…. No one wants to hear, "We tried." Effort and dedication will be rewarded… And 'Sooner Magic' is on your side. Yes, to fall short is still an option; But much better to succeed. Heroes are made and remembered Only by their deeds. So, just go out and win. Give your all to each and every chance. Persevere and achieve… And do the Victory Dance.
We salute every soldier who's served this great nation. And offer a heart of thanks and appreciation! We salute each member of our armed forces. And are thankful for their efforts and resources!

We salute the officers who've guided our women and men. Our prayers are with you! And our love from within! We salute our veterans! Wherever they may be! Those who served on land, air and sea! Offering prayer to the Lord is our belief… That he will guide our Commander-in-Chief! As we observe Memorial Day this year… Let's offer our soldiers love, hope and cheer! May God bless them in all they endeavor And his peace be with them today and forever!! By Jim Pemberton
A Mother's Love… How precious is the love of a mother's heart! Even as a child… It's there from the start. A mother's love knows no boundary or limit. It's often shown by how much the mother gives it! Whether her children are young or growing old… And whatever circumstances in life may unfold… Her love is continually a solid foundation… That can't be removed, torn or shaken. Her love is what is a "guiding force…" Even if her children's lives stray "off course." I'm thankful for the love my mother's given… It's surely influenced the way I've been livin'! To all of our mothers across our great nation… May we show them our love and appreciation! Their love has stood and endured the test of time… I'm so glad that one of them is MINE! By Jim Pemberton

By John Weaver At school I learned to read and write, to add and take away, Of geography and history and sports I learned to play They taught me all about the world and even outer space And how to beat another as competition I would face I learned of lands and cultures that had a different cause And so we fought and beat them in many different wars They said that strength and power was the thing I needed most That I should learn to conquer others, no matter what the cost They taught me how to be a winner at my work and play And never mind the loser who may fall along the way Through all those years of learning the plan was plain to see, The only thing that mattered was what I could do for ME Then I met my teacher who taught me something new That all those things I'd learned had nothing at all to do With living life with purpose and thought for our fellow man By showing care and love to others as often as we can My teacher taught me that life is a level playing field That we're all in it together sharing wounds that must be healed There simply is no difference between you and me We're all God's own children and one big family My teacher taught the needs of others and the hardships they have to face May well have been my own, if not for God's good grace That handicaps and weaknesses are really there to prove How fortunate I am to see and talk and hear and move My teacher showed that happiness is just a case of choice Instead of choosing sadness we simply choose rejoice Rejoice that we are able to experience every day The beauty that the blind can't see and words the mute can't say To walk and talk and feed yourself are gifts you should embrace It's the taking part that matters and not who wins the race And as each and every one of us is taking part in life What matters most is our gratitude regardless of our strife To be grateful for the gifts you have and not those you desire Is the secret to your happiness and to which you should aspire To show your love to others with help, support and care To let them know if needed that you are always there My teacher taught me lessons I never will forget; and I know it sounds absurd But she taught me all of this and yet…SHE NEVER SPOKE A WORD. (I call Emily my teacher because although she cannot speak and can do so little, she has taught me so much).

Thankyou How do you thank someone for giving you twenty-five years of extra life Yes twenty-five years extra, Of being a Mother, Nanny and Wife. How do you thank someone for being there for you . When you were so ill, you didn't know what to do. You thank them by, now being the person you want to be . And showing the world on live TV. You thank them by doing all the things you never got the chance to do before. When you couldn't even venture out the door. You thank them by living your life in the fast lane again . Now you are free of the nightmare, free of the pain. You thank them by shopping at a packed Sheffield Meadowhall . A couple of weeks before Christmas, you are having a ball . You thank them by going to see your fav'ourite singer Cliff . You sit there with 12,000 people just to do this. You thank them by running a helpline for others meeting fantastic people along the way . You thank them by living your life day by day . You thank them by just being you, You thank them in everything that you do.
My life has been one enormous charade, A make believe game, A play I have played, A story I tell myself, day and night, Hidden from myself, out of sight, A game of hide and seek, While searching for something else to eat. The game, A cosmic game, A comic game, A bad joke, A puff of smoke, A laugh, A bath, A lonely path, The Game. I used to take it so seriously, Think it, feel it so real, so perfectly, So certain I that was right, That I lived in the light, So convinced that I knew the rules, So obvious I had all the tools, That I saw the truth, That I saw the light, Would win the battle, win the fight. Heard the sound of the distant drum, Calling me to battle with the devious one. The walls of my ego were high and mighty, My dreams and delusions danced in front of me, Their smooth dark surface impossible to climb, Images I swallowed and thought were mine. I made them alive, moving and real, Twist and turn like a slimy eel, Just to tell myself that I was still someone, Playing in the game and having lots of fun, Just to tell me and to tell you, That I wasn't a loser, So I wouldn't hear the words game over. Game over, Check and mate, Here's the gate, You have to take, Out of the Game, The game of shame. The game of avoiding being blue, Of dogging the bullets they shot at you, The atomic bomb they drop on your head, The monsters that they put under your bed. The game of hiding away, Live to play another day, Even if it's only make believe, The prizes in plastic, And not worth a dime, At least I have the impression that they are mine, At least I don't fell the pain, The pain of shame, In this perverted game. So that I don't feel I'm a prisoner, Tied to this post, Don't even realise that I'm only a ghost, That the truth is well hidden, On the board of the game. That the prizes are in plastic, But they are shiny and new, The paint hardly chipped, The emptiness hardly shows through, The laughing is loud, The smiles are all warm and friendly, And we are all together, Joyful and happy. The illusion is REAL, And only the mad man knows, That it's a rotten deal. more of my poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Manifestations in life come from chosen application of frequent thoughts in one's mind Reveals and befalls a person's existence Resource for combustion the fuel is spirit This one can learn even if they not humble All acts come into being through the body Impulsive are the desires of body Selfish at times be these acts one has chosen Passion does carry energy for spirit yet this life adventure is just one existence There are many more for the creative mind This should cause all to pause and be humble Still those deny that there is a co-existence carrying on with life never be humble they all follow the dark path they have chosen allowing uncontrolled thoughts to run the mind Reluctantly it does comply the spirit Paid by his holy sacrifice of body Unlimited is the source of the spirit becoming aware of this is to humble knowing there is more than human existence Serving only as a vessel the body placed to carry out the deeds that are chosen Placing utmost importance on state of mind Considerations to remaining humble It provides one with a peaceful existence thoughtful are all of the decisions chosen Willing compliant must be the spirit Stable and balanced at all times is the mind Righteous and just are the acts of the body Coming to an understanding in one's mind Relating all things as is to the body Ever present to assist is the spirit a faithful and loyal companion chosen who steadily remain fixed to be humble There in part lay a eternal existence Sought after is a chosen humble coexistence of mind, body and spirit
The Family That God Gave to Me I think about the family, that God gave to me... And think about where they'll spend eternity! I think about the good times, that we've had. And the trials we've faced... Both good and bad! God helped us to overcome adversity together! And proved his faithfulness... Today and forever! He showed us the Godly path, that we should follow... And promised to be with us! Today and tomorrow! He's proven how much he loves us! And how much that he cares for us! Thank you my lord, for all you do! Where would we be? If not for you? You've proven yourself over and over again! Thank you so much, for being our friend! By Jim Pemberton
There's a little history to this particular poem. I know I wrote it when I was 11 or 12 years old. I wrote it for my Grandma Dorabel, who is today 90 years old. I also wrote it for my uncle John who had been taking care of her at the time; I didn't want to leave him out so I put on the letter: For Grandma Dee and Uncle John! I wrote this short little poem along with a drawing of a cat and some flowers. However, I actually never sent the picture to her! My parents and I must have forgotten to send! To me that was unacceptable! I thought to myself today when I found the picture, I must send it now! The picture is now on its way to her, so I am happy she will at last receive it. ---------------------------- You can send me a bouquet of flowers, You can order me a box of chocolates, You can buy me a fancy outfit, But flowers don't last, Chocolates eventually disappear, Outfits get out of style, Yet Love never fades, And it's the most precious gift of all
Who's that staring through my window walls, with eyes as old as time the clock has not yet moved and the wind outside has died no breath for me to find nor the strength to check the time unless the minute hand is lying theirs a chance i may have died I wish this all a dream but the eyes i see dont lie, they have told me with their watching that all men do really cry yet in vain is all my wishing but perhaps this is delusion of a sedimentary man with his mind ripe for losing Come at me then red devil, I shout within my mind yet the tension I had hoped for was delayed and rather dry no ravishingly velvet flame encircled this such room, nor were the furniture and ottoman thrown like an old shoe marvelous the time in which a demon throwns your home and his only one intent is to stare right through your soul to that i bid goodnight to you, to do as you wish, regardless of the manner I am nothing more then fish. to be shot out of a barrel for a fellow such as this If you do deem it fit that I wake another morning all i ask is that the clocks all please return to working order
Sometimes I admire the littlest things A simple rock. A blade of grass. They need no future goals, no tax exemptions They don't need to go anywhere or be anything They just are. Sometimes, especially when I'm reading life insurance policies, I envy the rocks and the grass And try to be like them for a moment. I sit perfectly still and give myself to the wind- And it whispers in my ear: Just be. And for that moment I don't need to go anywhere or be anything. And at the snap of my fingers, All the complex widgets and gizmos that make up my life Fold into paper airplanes and fly off in the wind. Jacob Reinhardt 10/07/13
May the Love of Jesus Touch You! May the love of Jesus bless and touch you! May his presence be with and uplift you! May the joys of the love make you complete! And touch you, from your head to your feet! May the glory of the lord be with and keep you! His majestic power can really touch you! May the words that he's spoken, touch your spirit! His mercy and salvation… He freely give it! May the sweetness of Jesus, into your life bring! His righteousness and beauty! Your everything! May you take some time with Jesus in prayer? How much he loves you! How much he cares! By Jim Pemberton 07.28.13
Came to Manchester United as an 18 year old With a lot of potential and talent to use Back then you were just a cocky showboat But you practised everyday and had the right attitude Your determination, passion and desire To keep improving has to be admired Sir Alex Ferguson said you're the most talented player he's ever had And you said he was like your football dad You amaze us all with your skills and tricks You get frustrated at yourself for any shot you miss In my eyes you will be the greatest ever Thank you for all the memories you gave us in Manchester You never hid the fact it was your goal to be the best Well you've achieved that I remember when I cried when you left Us for Madrid, hopefully one day you will be back People call you "arrogant" because of your desire to be the greatest But you're humble as you do a lot for charity and people who need it You even paid 50k out of your own money for a child's cancer treatment You wanted to be the best and you've achieved it Each year you just keep getting better And continue to amaze me Most football fans consider you one of the greatest ever Thank you for all the inspiration you have gave me As a kid you hit a teacher with a chair because she made fun of your Portuguese accent You were constantly told you wouldn't make it as a footballer Now it's you who's laughing Anytime people told you, you couldn't, you stood taller Last night you won your third ballon D'or Giving us football fans a lot of moments of heaven In almost every match you score You will always be the best Cristiano Ronaldo 7
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch some pails of water Jack climbed some trees while Jill was picking some pretty flowers After some hours Jack realized that he was wasting time So he called Jill to hurry up before 'tis half past nine So off they went to continue their very long journey 'Till they passed by an old beggar and gave him some money When they both reached the well Jack and Jill filled up their buckets Near the well were some berries which they put in their pockets When they reached home their momma and papa were so happy For dinner they had meatballs and soup and chicken curry And five bags of bananas which a rich neighbor gave them The good that you do to others will always be returned
Honestly stubbornly looking forward logically A loyal humanistic individual does unpredictably Having determination to stay friendly cemented One rebels with aloof detachment though group-oriented
Walking with Hope I walk with hope, at long last, I walk with promise, I no longer crawl, scurrying between wounded moments, I stand tall again, at long last, I sing a peaceful refrain, sheltered by your love, I take solace from life's bitter rain, comforted by your warmth, I soar free, high above the empty plain. I walk with hope, at long last, I walk with promise, I stand upright, feeling the radiance of your gentle light, and I thank you for taking me in, I am yours, and your breath spreads life, deep in my heart, my soul, my mind, you are the love that I have searched so long to find...
Hope is something that is wished for Hope something that we want when we feel like our prayers aren't being answered Hope gives us joy for the future A time when better things await Hope is a miracle Something wonderful Something not from this world and I know what you're thinking if hope is all of these things how can one obtain it and the answer is simple it's embedded in all of us but to be more precise Hope is found at the heart
We are people of color prideful beautiful of color but we are viewed as athletes rappers and singers eventhough we have one of us in the white house we are still viewed as such we were once kings and queens but was stolen from our land and our land was robbed of everything we were oppressed and forced into a way of life that we didn't want our women was raped and viewed as sexual objects instead of people our men was labors and when they could no longer perform they were tossed aside left to fend for themselves and when we finally had our freedom our problems continued we viewed as second-rate inferior to the other race, we weren't given any opportunities and when it came to school it was horrible just another thing we had to endure like segregation we couldn't use the same restrooms or sit next to them but the sad thing about it was that it was viewed as constitutional "Separate but Equal" was what they were calling it but when the nation was under attack who did they turn too they turned too us for help but we were still treated unfair but there were some bright moments for us during that era Jack Robinson opened the door for us to play sports Dr. Martin Luther King Malcolm X Rosa Parks fought for our equality along with others that are not mentioned in this poem that's why I am grateful for all of the opportunities that I have today I am grateful to go to school and sit anywhere I want to I am grateful for all the people of color who gave it there all and sacrificed everything they had so that we could have this chance to do what they could not do I love my people of color my prideful beautiful of color and just to let you know I'm not a racist just someone giving you the history of our people the people of color
The Brave Knight Poignant agonies stabbing the heart of a young chap, howling in despair, longing for the furlough, Away from the intoxicating life of mishap, Strung out to the white lies he was once told. Good things come to those who wait, so they said . Like a saint with so much patience he stayed. But the reality struck him hard.. Hiding in the fortress won't get you the buck, Out on a stallion, fight like a brave knight – well,that might. Before the plague begin. Before the bridge get burn, Before the cavalry is under siege and the gate is open. All hail the brave knight.
The inner and the outer, Are dissolving fast in space. The ominous clouds of thunder, Are covering your face. The meek the mild and innocent, Are trampled under feet, As we go one marching blindly, To our invincible defeat. No more calling softly, No more calling you, We've lost our hope and loving, What once we thought was true. And now the choice is coming, Riding on a wave, To be a free man dying, Or be a mad man's slave. And now the drums are drumming, Drumming down the line, Will you be marching forwards? Will you be deaf and blind? Will the light of sacred meaning? Shine from bottom of your heart? As the soldiers go on marching, Tearing our humanity apart. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Many In Church Don't Know of God's Power! There's many people who attend church on Sundays. And yet don't really understand what God's word says! Many get excited when the church has a "coffee hour." But few really have a desire to experience God's power! Prayer time is too often just a few words that are said. They sing a good tune, but many are "spiritually dead." An evangelist comes to town, and many rush to see him! It's almost like they want to "bow down" before him! I'm not here to look for a preacher to get me "excited." I want to experience the power of God, that he's provided! If I need a drive thru restaurant, I don't need a church to do it! When it comes to knowing God's power… Many refuse it! It's only the power of the Lord Jesus, that can raise the dead! It's only through knowing his word, that we can truly be fed! If you want someone to stroke you ears, you'll find them! Many will say what you want to hear! You probably know them! But if you really want the power of God to really change you! You need to seek his presence! And allow it to touch you! If you can't find it in a church building, get into a prayer closet! There's a move of God that's stirring! But many have lost it! Seek the Lord while he may be found! And enter into his presence! The Holy Spirit wants to fill you with power! And is omnipresent! Please come Lord Jesus, and forgive us of our sinful living! May we enter your courts with a heart of praise and thanksgiving! We need you Lord Jesus! May we lift your name up higher! And seek to be filled with your Holy Ghost' fire! By Jim Pemberton 10/09/13
Written by my Cousin Susan Northwood who thinks she cannot write. She wrote this poem for me. pleaser let her know that she can write very well, she is also an excellent artist. By the way, I am back from my holiday, and glad to be back with you all. My cousin Alf. Whilst searching on the net one day A name jumped out on me Peter Duggan, as he is known My cousin, that he be. A crazy man, a writer too Speaks his mind, I kid not you He loves to argue, and debate Gossip, and trivia, he does so hate. He wrote me emails, all the time And many poems in rhythm, and rhyme His words were calming, made sense to me Helped my fears,and anxieties. Life for him had not been kind Bullied, beaten, and a troubled mind But here he was, helping me With all my anger, that He could see As time did pass, my life got better Thanks to him, and all his letters Back and forth, we wrote like mad Happy laughing, and sometimes sad. Now here in Oz, I've come to see My cousin, and his family Yes he's just how I imagined Loves all life, and writes with passion. He argues, talks, and often shouts Sings, and laughs, but what about? Yes, he's blunt, and can be rude He'll shock you too, if you're a prude But underneath his suit of armour There stands a man, who's met his karma All he wants is peace in in life No more trouble. fights and strife. There's many souls who cannot cope With this loud, outspoken bloke But I know where this man is from He says it in his words and songs. So for me he is not Peter Or Billy, John or Ralph He simply is my cousin Also known as Alf. Written by Susan Northwood, for Peter Duggan.
When I tell you that I love you I mean it like NO other It does not come from my mind nor my heart But from deep within my soul I love you with the innocence of an infant and the playfulness of a child Like the daydream of a teenager and the content in a woman's smile It's a love that grows within me every time I meet your gaze A love that embraces and binds me in so many different ways A love that sparkles on the river like the sun could only get brighter As breathtaking as the waterfalls which make discomforts lighter A love that has the power to make the forests much more greener That illuminates the ocean and makes all melodies sound sweeter A love that views the night sky more magical than it seems That allows me to fall sleep and have the most enchanting dreams A love that puts me at ease and gives me peace of mind It encompasses all of my beliefs and strengthens bonds to the Divine This love in its entirety was not even portrayed above As there is no earthly way to even begin to describe my love I cannot say that I will love you forever, as that is a time to measure In the place that I truly love you, time does not exist It is in the land of light where only this love subsists
Because tears are meant To be a symbol of strength Even in hard days.
So many things I want to say, Knowing many who have gone astray, So many castles build on sand, But mines, is a solid rock, on which I stand, So many forgotten little sheep They have drowned in pools too deep, So many questions that cause demands, But mine, rest in the fathers hands. We can shake our hands to the sky, Beg for answers and scream our cries We can let bitterness come between, Curse others, fight and scream, But when we lay it at his feet, The holy fire causes all troubles to become obsolete Learn to listen and then you will understand, That we were made to be more than just human, We are reflections of the creator's infinite plan. So many give up when they fall, But God is greater than it all, So many children run our streets, Because they don't know a love that is complete So many trials cause despair, And many tears plead its unfair, But when you realize this is the master's land And that the finally is ABSOLUTLY grand, You turn away from what they say And allow the FATHER to lead the way. We can shake our hands to the sky Beg for answers and scream our cries, We can let bitterness come between, Curse others, fight and scream But when we lay it at his feet The holy fire causes all troubles to become obsolete Learn to listen and then you will understand That we were made to be more than just human We are reflections of the creator's infinite plan Read His word and you will understand.

A choice desire made set a soul fire The animal locked away no longer kept bay Blood pulsing heart throbbing mind does conspire A new day with passionate words to convey Shock it will many of you freedom expressed Pounding chest hell with rest not human nature test Open mind people try to find what suppressed Dare not I say equally all of you blessed
I'm 51 today. 51 tomorrow, yay Was 51 yesterday. 52 is months away, And yes I'm thankful. Although it's not my real birthday, It kinda is in a certain way. I'm still alive another day. I had the notion to celebrate. And be thankful. Though it's not a holiday. Thanksgiving has come and gone away, I'm just alive today. For that I'm thankful. Honestly, I am not just trying to make these lines rhyme, Or reflect upon the deep sublime. I'm just grateful today to be alive. I mean really thankful. I'm not trying to wow you with philosophy, Or impress you with theology. It matters not at all to me. I just feel thankful. So tonight I take a walk outside, I look up into the endless sky and then I breathe. I breathe in deep, And I say thank you. And maybe not just to Who you think, Man let's throw in the kitchen sink, And include all who've touched my life, to whom I'm thankful. Some of you I'm glad you're gone, Frankly you stayed a bit too long And some you the grave stole far too soon, And yet I'm still thankful. Today the living and the dead You've both been right up inside my head, And synergized this verbal thread. For that I'm thankful. I close my eyes and think of Tim, named David right there toward the end. I always smile when I think of him, And now I listen I heard a siren going by, I wonder who and wonder why, Was it a wreck, did someone die? Yet still I listen. Neighbors dogs are going wild. Was that the laughter of a child. Seems like I can hear for miles. Still I listen. I hear the hi-way roar of cars. Tho I have never heard the stars Is there really life on Mars? Shhh brain please shut up and listen! The soft night whispers in my ears. Pressing through my random fears, I stand amazed at what I hear. And now I wonder. I open up my eyes and see as I feel this winter breeze The silhouette of leafless trees. I stand in wonder Then I wonder about the first man to ever be, Or the first time he looked up to see The Milky Way the galaxies. Did he wonder? I wonder what he did How he loved how he lived. If he ever lost a friend? Man oh man I wonder. Was he the first to dig a grave? How it sounded if he prayed? How he fought? How he played? If that man could see us all today, What would he say I wonder? In ways was he a lot like me? Did he sometimes fear what he could not see? Did he create unseen walls Of unbelief? I stand and wonder. Did he ever hurt the ones he loved? Did life convince him not to trust? I wonder. My great grandfather lived My DNA is shared with him. I wonder how we are the same, And I don't even know his name. Still I wonder. Will my great grand kids know my name? Will it even matter who's to say? Will they look up in wonder? Will they listen? Will they be thankful? Not much I can leave to them That would matter too much in the end. I suppose the primal hope in man Is the hope I hope lives on in them I hope they wonder. About the universe. I hope they listen. To life's unspoken verse. I hope they're thankful. Even in midst of deepest hurts. I hope they're thankful. I hope they listen. I hope they wonder. And no matter what life hands them, I hope they hope.
Final Adieu Let another sun set, Let another flower wilt, Let another autumn cast its gloom, Let another tear role, As ye part, and bid The final adieu. Suyash Saxena St. Stephen's college
When my life has finally left me and my last breath has been shed And the silver cord is broken and my bodies firmly dead I shall hover near the body, download the scenes of this past life Noting all minutest details rolling backwards past my eyes I'll store these scenes 'til later when I can take the time to learn What the lessons have to teach me and help me to discern How I treated other people, made them happy, made them sad Examine all my actions, both the good and the bad Three days later I'll lose interest as my focus moves away From the world that I just left behind, there is no need to stay For a lifetime in the life of man to God is just a day And my soul as God on the wheel of life must move along its way I'll take the download with me as I move into first heaven It's the first stage in the afterlife, in number there are seven Here I'll see and feel the good things that to others I have brought And revel in the feelings of the kindness that I wrought I will store these in my seed atom so in future lives I'll know They're the things that I must multiply for my souls' conscience to grow For the conscience is the souls' voice that guides you day by day That still small voice that warns you in what you do and say When that's done my view will shift then to the things that I did bad To the hurt I did to people that left them feeling sad I will feel their pain intensely, ten times worse when in this field For I'll be purely spirit now with no flesh for a shield These painful lessons will imprint upon my seed atom as well In some religions we are told our soul's in everlasting hell In the stages of the afterlife, this is your punishment in heaven This is the third and the most painful of the total seven The Grim Reaper now has visited with his scythe so I will know Through natures Law of Consequence I will reap what I did sow He has shown me all my misdeeds and caused me many tears And this purgatorial experience may last for twenty years When my suffering soul recovers and the pain has died away And I've incorporated the lessons to never act this way In future lives I'll be a better man from these lessons I have learned One step closer to perfection that my growing soul has earned Now I can sleep, Oh peaceful sleep, a state of heavenly rest I'll dream the dreams I love in life, of things I love the best All desires that my soul has yearned, not a thing I can't create In the Great Silence of the spirit world to help me concentrate The colors are much brighter, the scent of flowers more sublime The senses are much sharper, there is no sense of time I will see all other people as pure souls just like me And I'll know we're all evolving to the bliss of eternity I will hear the mystic music of the planets as they pass Like a thousand singing angels, heavenly peace has come at last Every planet sings its own song, we've grown deaf to this below But in this super consciousness we're in the eternal flow I'll be with my friends and family and others whom I love The ones who left before me and currently live above There they wait with arms wide open and rejoice when I arrive In the fourth stage where I now live, it's utter joy to be alive I've incorporated my lessons, I now recall my goal And my mind begins to focus on further growth of my soul I must make further preparations and my vision starts to clear I feel I must keep moving forward for all my works done here I now have gone through five and six, there is just one more In years it's been from birth to birth one hundred forty four The time has come to move along and leave this place called heaven Prepare for life in the physical world, I move to number seven My soul has gathered the material, I now know what I must do To make some more improvements in the places I need to I must take another body, I must live another life To grow and liquidate more karma though it means more pain and strife I build an archetype of the body that in future I will form When embodiment is offered, and I can be reborn I will see the opportunities and be able to discern The ideal embodiment for me when the right egg meets the sperm I will hover near the fetus, influencing where I can And I'll have the power to make it be a woman or a man I will help to build the body to suit the lessons I must learn To overcome more issues so more advancement I can earn When baby takes its first breath and my soul is taken in With the imprint of my seed atoms that it has brought within Now the babys' atoms resonate to my seeds vibration rate Making it the perfect body for my soul to habituate The new body will be my new home, I will live a life anew Gain experience, learn more lessons, through the things that I will do I'll apply the added knowledge that I learned in this past life More evolved than in the last one, and cause me less pain and strife This will happen just as often as required by the soul As it pushes ever onward, pushing ever t'ward its goal Of complete re-integration back from whence it came To the universal soul of life no matter what its name Nature is not personal, it does not seek revenge If we mess it up we have the chance to do it all again We arrived here by this process, nothing's changed it's still the same But our souls have evolved immensely since we stepped into the game We started out as fallen angels with no experience on this plane We've grown to this by coming back again and again Though we cannot remember for each conscious mind has died The feelings in the soul remained in our subconscious mind And so this is the story of the cycle of the soul As it struggles through evolution on its way toward the goal It's this way for all unfailing, from natures law there's no relief All living things go through it, no matter their belief
In His Arms, He holds me tight And whispers sweetness in my ear. It's everything I've been longing to hear: "Everything will be alright."
God Gives Us Brothers and Sisters For A Reason! God gives us brothers and sisters for a reason! As children, we have each other, throughout the seasons! We laugh and play together and do all sorts of things… Often not realizing what the future of life brings! As kids, we often share whatever life may give us! And stick together, no matter what trials may face us! But, as we grow older, too often, we part separate ways. And lose any contact with each other for countless days! I've seen all kinds of things tear families all apart. Often, there's some kind of unforgiveness of the heart! If you, and your siblings, have reached a separation… May you seek Jesus for a Godly reconciliation! As family, whatever divides, must be lifted up in prayer! Where two or three are gathered… God is there! Just think about what the family unit has become! The love of Jesus must be what binds us all as one! Getting along as a family, is more than just a "feeling!" The blood of Christ needs to bring an "inner healing!" The family that each of us have, may not be here tomorrow! Are you one who's holding on to bitterness and sorrow? May the words of Christ help us all to get along! That through HIM, our families will be STRONG! By Jim Pemberton 10/20/13
There's something unspecific about the autumn nights A certain shade of color that uplifts my inner child's eyes Beside a cashmere moon Venus and Jupiter shine bright Complimented by a sea of blinking infinite twilight The scent of burning oak lingers in the air from home made fires Reminiscent of a time when this man was just a child Careless and so free to dream and any dream to live Like feathers floating across a field carried by the wind As a gentle breeze blows through the leaves shivering delightful gloom Unlike flowers of springtime the disheveled autumn vibrance bloom Leaves crackle beneath my feet along the skeleton tree path Where I try to find my peace or a song to make me laugh The air is so much crisper and also soothing when I breathe it in Underneath a starry sky and brighter constellations of Heaven Amidst the trail I pass a lovely couple holding hands While their children run aside frolicking in a playful dance An old man and his wife admire the view from a wooden bench With smiles on their face as if nostalgia is still their closest friend Its these specific autumn affects that bring me sorrows and joy Reminding me of all theses things Ive wanted as a man since I was a little boy Its times like these that I wish I wasn't always so alone Because I would light an fire with my family and call it home
Tragically lost his mom and dad When he was eight years old The only thing this boy had Was a survivor's spirit so bold Court moved him to the country He didn't know a single soul His life had been a busy shovel That kept digging a bigger hole No one had been kind to him But he didn't see it that way Just smiled through the suffering He had a dream of a better day The same year a stranger felt sorry When they met handed him gum Didn't chew it, he sold the pack And his little business had begun From one pack he bought two And from those two it grew to four From four packs he made eight His emerging business hit the floor Now it's just a few years later Everything he touches turns to gold He's reached the business pinnacle And he's only 28 years old This week I was invited to a meeting So I made the trip from America To fund a massive orphan program In downtown Addis Ababa, Ethiopia My African friend, the biggest donor Once an orphan he owns the cause Ask him why he gives so sacrificially He'll smile at you and say because.. When I was just a lonely orphan lad Nothing going right that I could see That white dude standing over there Gave a single pack of gum to me And one by one I sold each piece Took those profits to buy even more And look it's just twenty years later Now orphan care is what I'm living for From a desperate hole to a mountain Never know what's going on inside All these kids need is an opportunity They can take it deep and wide When it comes to caring for the least Don't say there's nothing you can do There's always hope for the orphan So long as people like to chew... *The climber is through the eyes of a great friend in Ethiopia. From orphan to one of the most successful young men in the country. Contest: Anthony's "Pinnacle" Date: 9-30-14
We Need God Back Into Our Schools! There are some trying to remove God from this nation! They do is under; "a church and state separation." For many years, God was taught in our schools! Until the Supreme Court took it away, with it's rules! As so many young people look to fill life's "void." They try many things that they think they'll enjoy! Rather than having God's word to obey and live by. They choose the kind of life that they will die by! Drugs, sex and violence of many perverted kinds. Are what is now filling so many young people's minds! Read the headlines! Many young people are stressed out! Yet our government can't seem to figure it out! Another shooting… Another act of violence appears! While any kind of answer seems to have disappeared! The answer is not more money to solve their problem! No matter how much the government tries to solve them! Let me give you answer. It's called "read the Bible 101!" It's time to repent to God the father, the spirit and the son! Our young people need God brought back into their life! And allow him to heal their brokenness and strife! Jesus Christ is the solution for which many are asking! Only he can give anyone a life that's everlasting! Please come Lord Jesus! And heal the wounded hearts! It's everyone one of us, that it needs to start! No court or school can separate God's love for you and me! Where will you spend your eternity? By Jim Pemberton 10/24/13

At Church, We Talked About the Holy Spirit! At church, we talked about the Holy Spirit. And discussed how to be guided by it! We discussed scripture and God's power! And how we need his spirit... This hour! We learned about how the Holy Spirit moved long ago. And how we need it now! To nourish our soul! It seemed like no matter what we decided We knew the spirit's power has been provided! Rather than just all of us talking about it... Isn't it about time, that we really experience it? The disciples of the Bible were empowered from on high! They boldly proclaimed God! And were not shy! It's almost like the church today is somewhat defeated! Because the Holy Spirit's work isn't completed! How can anyone experience the Holy Spirit within? When so many hang on to unrepentant sin??? If you're one, who's hanging on to a denomination... Is God's spirit part of your life's foundation??? Won't you take the time to wait on the spirit's presence! God is powerful! And is loving and omnipresent! Talk is cheap! Submission to God's spirit is the key! To help you in life! And give you the victory! Won't you come now? And enjoy the spirit's fullness? It will bring you joy! And complete wholeness! By Jim Pemberton
Before we were thought of or time had started, God put US in His Son's name.. And each time we pray, you'll see its true, You can't spell Jesus without including US. Were a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For US, He was born; And His great love for US is the reason He died. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with US in His plan? The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew, egospelexpress And His resurrection was for US. As JesUS left the earth with His wonderful ascension, When He felt there was one thing He just had to mention. "Go into the world and tell them it's true that I love them all - Just like I love you." So many people are Christian brothers and sisters, Don't all the others have a right to know JesUS too? It all depends on what we do, He'd like them all to know, But it all starts with US. Rev. Samuel Mack, OMS Copyright 2011 VISIT US AT; http:paladinnews1.blogspot.com
It's not a lesson to be taught Or a skill to be acquired It's the nudge to move forward Open when the time is right It's the spirit inside God leading on the way On the journey to discover He is all you need It's the courage to let go Say yes instead of no Reveal what you've been holding back As Jesus takes the wheel It's the realization that it doesn't matter What others think of you God leads you where you're meant to be Just allow you to be you It's the standing up to fear Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!" The battle has been fought too long Time to let the stalemate end It's the inspiration you've been holding For others and for yourself The light we've been dimming Rather than shining on His behalf It's the spontaneity in the decision To follow His call all the way Discovering peace in being you Wide open as the perfect creation you are The world out there is brutal But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand His bravery now is all we have But His bravery of love is all we need May God bless you!
Blinded by the lights; But in a rainbow of the night, A lone star Shines just as bright. With the rise of the muffled cries Of joyous pride, A priceless moment captured in time. As I stand within a crowd, A memory is to last a lifetime. With inpatient feet, As the heart starts to beat, No thought was conceived To what could be. But here we stand, Listening to the music from the band. The ground starts to rumble, For there was no fumble. While at the end, And all smiles aglow, I look toward you, That gleaming star, For that shimmering Hope you Bestowed on us, And say, Thank you.
Success The other day I saw a man He was an old, old man He had this sparkle on his face And a wondrous smile that ran Right from his mouth up to his ears He was a happy guy And yet he had no home, no car And soon in death he'll lie. I saw a man on the Television His face all misery He was a man who had so much Such an important man he be And yet his face was deathly grey All life was drained from it It seems that all his cobwebbed money Has not helped him a bit. I let you see the contrast here So all you folk who hope One day to be someone of means I hope they will take note Though money has a lot of value It does not bring success Cause in the end success must mean A life of happiness. 1 September 2013 @ 0642hrs.
"How is love being measured?" I asked Is it by words that lovers discuss? Is it the pain and trials they've been through? Or how many times they say I love you? "How is loved measured?" that I don't know Is it on how they let their love show? Is it on how they never let each other go? Or the years they let their love grow? Is love measured by time? Or by the feelings people can't define? Is it measured on how many times they kissed? Or by the colorful presents and given gifts? Is love measured by miles? Or the times they made each other smile? I don't know how to measure love, But I know that the greatest is from God above. How about this, guys? :) God Bless!!!
Open your eyes to the ever turning skies I want to here with me through the night My heart yearns into your soul Burning as if newly lit coal I bravely submerg the embers That the time I have can be spent with you And I remember each kiss every moment I was caught in your love that for just this day I remember So what happened was a chance for your love A time that I kept in a locket tied with a kiss I wanted you to feel, to love, to slumber And to awake in my arms with that times kept bliss I lay silient in an umber
God, my ears are open And I know what to do. Please help me to make a decision That finally leads to You.
Sometimes things are up, And sometimes they are down, Sometimes black is white, And sometimes it is brown. All the rivers flowing, Back to the sacred sea, All the monkeys climbing, Up the very same tree. You think you know a lot, Think you know it all, But the autumn leaves are falling, At the north wind's lonely call. The thinking of the meaning, The reasons lost and gone, At last the place is ready, A vacant holy throne. The emptiness that fill you, Fills you from inside, Is the treasure you are holding, The bridegroom's holy bride. And now the north wind's blowing, Blowing down the Way, And now we sit here waiting, For the bridegroom's wedding day. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
TO MOVE FORWARD TO MOTIVATE OTHERS FOR EMPOWERMENT VIA NON-PROFIT TO ACHIEVE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID TO BE IMPOSSIBLE! Is there a greater focus to determine a greater faith? Why ask, if you are living the best way? TO STEP-TO-THE CAUSE TO BE A POLITICAL POWERHOUSE TO PROVIDE MOTIVATION TO INSPIRE A NATION What is your focus to be? I ask because a destiny is perceived. TO BE TO DO TO LOVE TO LIVE TO QUEST TO ACHIEVE TO SEEK TO DEFINE TO FIND TO SEEK OUT TO ESTABLISH TO ASCERTAIN What questions have you not ask? Bringing forth this knowledge is to introspect. ________________________________________| PENNED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2014!
Can't wait for the new day this day had brought me nothing but heartache and misery but I will make it to the new day no matter what I'll do what ever it takes bite scratch and crawl my way to the new day cuz I can see it over yonder over the horizon and all I have to do is hold on til the new day arrives can't wait for the new day cuz I'm tired of living in poverty maybe this new day will be full of happiness and joy but won't find out unless I hold on til the new day arrives which is over yonder over the horizon what a wonderful day the new day will be
I am drifting into memories. Wasting away like a million photographs fading in the sun- Yet with ceaseless renewal, Staining the depths of my eyes with images In the minds shutter ever fluttering to infinity, Stringing together this conscious stream I play in- My stupendous God made of dust and space Tightrope walking existence! And to think we too are made of mostly nothing- Chance so scarcely gracing our atoms with a single touch In a place so lonely when counted, Yet so abounding when felt! So dance with the Dust God Poised miles above the earth- Prance on your stilts, And peek into the great valleys beneath his skin. Because any moment we could disappear Into Jacob Reinhardt 9/19/2013
This sport, a passion of mine, My teammates, all better than I, Will I ever get recognition? Hard work, part of my life as the air I breathe, To become as the rest, more must I do than they, Pain my body must endure, Blood I must shed without reservation, Sacrifices it shall require, All who have laughed, Those who dared to mock me, Shall see me ascend above all, A dream was where I began, A reality it shall become, If you believed, If you believed not, Witness it you shall!
This is a story about my lost, dreadful life. I wonder out of this pain what shall arise, From the rubble of a life built on hope and lies. Born into failure I took my first breath; In the arms of a jail nurse, My first look at death. My first day of life, Which for me would be a saga of unending strife. An unending search for one heart to love me, One hand to hold, one soul to touch me. So tell me out of this pain what shall arise, From the rubble of a life built on hope and lies. Another dreadful day is still ahead to come, you say. I bare to see another day; I've got to say you're right. When I lie down at night I'm scared to fall asleep, I'm scared of what might happen when you're out of sight. I'm eleven years old today, Do you want to leave you say? I'm standing in the shadows, trying to get away from you. My life has been terrible ever since I took my first breath. What is it that you want me to do? I know now what's out of this pain that shall arise, From the rubble of a life built on hope and lies. I've always hoped you'd never find this. I guess you can't live your life on hope and lies right? So if you're reading this now, I have nothing else to bare, nothing else to fear, no one to hide from, no one to be scared of because here I lie never less never more in the cold wet ground; rejoicing. Now I feel no pain, torture, suffering nothing at all but happiness. You're asking why, why not me instead of a poor, innocent little girl? She's laying six feet under today 'cause of me. I used to wonder out of this pain what shall arise, From the rubble of my life built on hope and lies.
She was a tappin' to the tunes... of those Mississippi blues... step-pin' out, in her white... Pat-en-leather shoes, We were a watchin' her a prancin', all through the kitchen, dancin'... for she was so...hot & sizzlin'... hummin' to those Mississippi tunes... Funny curlers too, upon... her head...for a new... Hair dew,... she was, a swirlin'-in that bakers apron, when her head...star-ted a bobbin' to... those Mississip-pi blues, 'Pots were a knockin'... Grandma a sockin' down all she brews, while that kettle there was whistlin', in har-mo-ny, with them good ole... good ole...mississip-pi moves,' That floor there, was a bouncin' holdin' hands we were a jumpin', an-a hoppin' In the kitchen, to those... sounds ... Where Grandma's feet were a stompin', In her new...New-white-sexy-pat-en- leather-shoes... (ya hoo)
Where were you when my world fell apart? The Sun darkened and the Moon just fled. All had been done and all had been said. And ripped to shreds was my beating heart. Even the Seas began to part. And the Mountain tops spread. I lay there completely dead. Even the Stars I could not chart. If only you knew, If only you were there, If only you had a clue! If only life had been fair! I'd turn the clocks back, Still standing dead in my track!
I'm not the greatest of all-times, but when I'm done, I'll be an all time great in this lifetime of mine Like the late great who came before my time I will breed a new lifeline, that will breathe life like march of dimes My story lines, will bring truth life; like troops who fight Overseas, for rights of those who believe that death is life Now that ain't right! As the rich is getting richer, eating fillet me-non, while we barely feeding our appetite Night after night Survival has waged a war that gave us no choice but to battle and fight Although, we'll be all right They say we a dying breed, but that ain't right Instead we're the light to a lying greed That will enlighten life to a brand new seed A man of God indeed Freed from the Son that bleeds Like the summer breeze He's the sum that equals the amount of air I breathe The air that please A satisfaction like the birds and the bees My word's words are the keys That will fornicate with the mind and give birth to a seed A seed of social change, that'll change our social economy So shall our comradery That will bring comfort to a struggling society A synonym...similar to a civilization seeking for unity Unifying the physics of theory That seeks to explain the synopsis of a dying philosophy Similar to the Cosby X-cept my scrip-tic will speak more about our reality Like life's calamity And everything else in life that's destroying us systematically However, I've discovered a system That can mathematically destroy ignorancy And turn our state of mind intellectually I elect that He (God) selects me to be And be that man who may lead this community So that they (My Peoples) may commute with me En-route to a destination, destine towards our destiny Like we were destine to be We were meant to be "Great" like the late great that came before we. Because we are... The reflection where perfection gave birth to the definition of greatness Where great means Competent, Skilled, Well Informed, and Tremendous Our potentials are endless And only we not even the enemy can put an end to this So it's time we put a stop to this The biggest enemy of self And that's envy and jelousness Cause after this is Heaven or Hell and that's all there is A promised made sealed with a kiss Knowing this Is the next best thing since "In the beginning" In the first chapter of the first verse in Genesis!
He is my gentle seduction that makes me lighter than air he holds onto me firmly so I won't up and disappear Not that I don't love him but in fact, I love him so dear but remember, I told you, he makes me lighter than air He has to be my angel God sent me, I, unaware for years I stopped dreaming I guess out of lonely fear But today, I woke from dreaming,with him kissing my ear how perfect our love is, in our older years enjoying those simpler things like cooking fishing or just holding the other near He is my handsome husband the father of my children, our truest bliss soon the grandfather to the symbol of all these growing in loving years
I rise You rise Meeting every hour, every day Making the best of the moments so they don't go to waste I rise You rise On full head of dreams Sometimes teary eyes Yet still, we rise I rise You rise Toiling soil until our fruits of labor arise Sometimes they appear disguised Ill shaped, presenting a surprise But still we rise
If you are a bully, you know you are because it's who you've chosen to be. You make excuses that you being a bully is someone else's fault. Unfortunately, the truth you refuse to see. So, you constantly search for easy victims, you want to destroy their confidence and self-esteem. You don't care how other kids feel when you bully them. Because of your bullying, kids have nightmares, instead of pleasant dreams. I'm a kid just like you. But I don't bully other kids, that I would never do. Nowhere does it say you have to be a bully for the rest of your life. There is a good side of you that lies deep within. Right now it's asleep in the dark of night. The good person you can be eagerly awaits to spread its wings, bringing happiness, fun and joy, eliminating shame. Please remember, no matter how much you have bullied other kids, for the better, it's never too late to change. Al Johnson
You hoped the nasty words you said to me would hurt me so much that like a turtle, I would go into a permanent shell. My parents told me not to give a bully that kind of satisfaction. From all the nasty words you said, guess what? I'm not feeling that bad at all. In fact, I'm doing quite well. Yes, your nasty words hurt me at first, just as you wanted them to. I'm lucky to have parents, responsible adults, and even other kids, who showed me how to handle bullies like you. I don't care what you do anymore. I really don't care what you say. Your nasty words cannot hurt me again. You tried putting me down, but with help from others, I've been lifted up in every way. I see you as a small-minded bully, with no positive direction. I also see you as a kid who could be nice and kind to others, if you decide to change your intentions. Just in case you refuse to change and continue with your bullying ways, declaring that's just how it's going to be, I'm going to do all I can to spread my knowledge to as many kids as I can. Then the next kid you try to bully, hopefully, will confidently say to you, "Your nasty words cannot hurt me." Al Johnson
I walked with my blackness Not on my head like a crown of pride But like a shackle around my feet I basked in my down trodden self Never lifting the true glory of me I walked with my blackness Blanketed in my self pity Not seeing that my fight lies within Shoulders slumped as I accept defeat Before the game has even begun I walked in my blackness Contented to cower When I should have stood proud That my blackness is me But still it is not It doesn't define me It doesn't speak for me It doesn't even say where I am from That my ancestors were Kings and Queens Ruling over all they surveyed That my forefathers were Inventors Scholars, Philosophers and Yes! Farmers! My blackness does not mean I should be placed in your corner of shame Labeled: thieves, hoes, n***s, dunce, thugs And if you try to put me there I will always get out I must show there is more to my blackness than what you see Then you will come to respect the blackness of me I walked in my blackness No longer am I afraid I accept now your challenges And allay your fears So when you see me walking in your neighbourhood Instead of your guns your hands will wave "Hi" at me Be black, be proud, let the world come to see That there is more to my blackness Than the age old perception of me!
It's A Pleasure to Really KNOW Jesus! Often people get in trouble for deviant activity. This often shortens their life's longevity! As people strive or pleasure in so many things... They don't think of the heartache this often brings! Many seek pleasures, but are never fulfilled! Often becoming self centered, and stubborn willed! The "excitement" they want, doesn't last very long. Soon, they don't know where they really belong! If it's the thrills and joys of life, you've been spending... Isn't it about time, that you just stop "pretending?" The pleasure many want will NEVER be there! Is anyone really listening? Does anyone care? If it's pleasure many want... Look no more! We are what Christ' love is really meant for! Jesus Christ gives the best pleasure we'll find! He's faithful, honest, graceful and most kind! Isn't if about time, you let him turn you around? And let him put your life on a solid ground? He can do it now! By the power of his shed blood! And truly bless your life! From heaven above! I'm so thankful to him, for the joy he brings! He is God! And can provide ANYTHING! By Jim Pemberton
Here I sit, uncertain of what lies ahead. I'm still wondering how my family will be fed. I once had a job that provided a sense of "security." Now I don't… And I have a lot of uncertainty! I have unpaid bills, and I'm not sure what to do. I've asked for help. But not sure who to turn to! I get discouraged, and feel life "pulling me down." I've tried just about every job that's in town. The dreams I had, have been shattered and smashed. At times, I feel like I'm just "a piece of trash." My wife tried to support me, the best that she can. But she doesn't know me… Or even understands! Dear Jesus… You're the only left that I haven't tried. There's been many nights I laid awake and cried! I read in the Bible, where your love for me is real! When I call on your name... There's a love I can feel! Whatever happens, please help me Lord, to trust you! Whatever tomorrow holds, may I still love you! I know that you're a foundation, that I can stand on! Jesus is a friend! That I can always depend on! Jesus, if I lose everything that I have or that I hold on to... My I always remember your faithfulness and never forget you! Here I stand… With my burdens lifted from me! It's because of Jesus! And how much he loves me! I praise HIS name! And lift my hands to the sky! He's in control now! I don't have to ask the reason why! Jesus… Please take control of my worries and desires! Above all of my problems, I lift your name up higher! By Jim Pemberton

Running through the universe, Looking for the light, I found a broken rainbow, Crying in the night. I tried to glue it back again, Fix it's bleeding heart, But the circle had been broken, Before it's song could start. The push and pull of meaning, Are tugging at my sleeve, The million colours dancing, In the cloth the weaver weaves. Are burning in the darkness, Burning in the night, As the rainbow goes on crying, Sinking out of sight. And now I'm crying loneliness, Crying on my knees, The butterflies of emptiness, Are dancing in the breeze. Running through the universe, Looking for your face, I come back to the start again, To find my tail I chase. I know I've found my destiny, I know that it is true, The beginning and the end of it, Is where we'll all meet you. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
When I hear your name My heart beats faster than usual It's not that I am ashame But It's just your name is too special.. Can't control the feelings When I am with you Can't stop smiling When you hold me like you do When you hug me then I feel like I'm in heaven You are a blessing from above And you are the reason why I loved I'll promise to love you FOREVERMORE.. And I will cherish you until the end of my borrowed life And I will keep our precious memories as long as we see each other in our next life..
Poorly heated coffee; I can't seem to get it hot enough. Tired eyes still rolling, Film draped for dreaming. This last Summer Saturday, Might as well call it Fall. The pumpkins out and jumping, Future jack-o-lanterns for fun. Gentle breeze cascades, Every once in a while a poof. Sunny sun still sunning; Please don't ever go away. Time to heat up the coffee; My goodness this is good! So open arms and lean back; God is so, so good!
She's highly sophisticated and full of undefiled wisdom Yet a crowned Duchess in a paradise kingdom Quite a beautiful angel flying with black wings Covered in gold jewelry and precious things She dresses like the women of ancient Egyptian class Her wealth is generous and her money grows like grass She loves orange scented candles with dark room flame She rules thirty legions of soldiers and Bune is her name Her comely warrior voice can wake and relocate the dead Her armies of soldiers gather around the cemetery She is brave and deserves a princessly crown on her head Her facility of speech and flair for words is legendary A beautiful queen to be treated with respect and honor Instead of blasphemy,wanton abuse and fictional horror
Our love grows stronger, Even beyond the distance, Even beyond the days. I know you're with me always And I'm always with you; In God together we're together forever And physically we'll be together forever soon.
God, please heal this broken soul And tell me where to go Because I don't know where to go. Into Your Arms, I give my all Because You're the Only One Who can catch my fall.
I've watched the war from behind closed doors; Eyes too glued to close. And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more. God's love is the only hope we know. We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus. We are saved because of the love that is Jesus. We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us. We are loved! No matter what we've done, we are loved! Confess and ask for forgiveness; This is such a beautiful gift! Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! You forgive me! You save me! You change me! I am changed! I am new! I am renewed! I am forgiven! I am saved! I am changed! There's porn no more For God's hope is in store! There's porn no more For God's love is the hope of the world!
Oh where does the dragonfly go, between the reeds, And murky shore. Gently dipping his wings edges, in the waters cooling Ripples, dancing across the tingling ponds waves, To moisten it's beautiful translucent appendages, So sheer and delicate of design. Danger's bullfrog, on the Lilly pads so sits still, Waiting ever so patiently, for the dragonfly to slip. Yet awareness's great aerial acrobat, knows better Not to mess around with this amphibian's slick Devilish tongue. So flights fancy leads him beyond, the flabby Froggies reach. Testing limitations boundaries, this lighter Than air insect, soars at mercy's whim, Gliding the currents wind, and tasting freedom's Glory of wonderment. Inspiration's tiniest of miracles, melts the poetic Heart within, humbling one to pause, at nature's Beauty beyond words expression. Gleaming beneath the summers sun, the light Shines and shimmers, as if made of glass, A reflective surface of diamonds, cast asunder With hews deepest blues, as it's aquatic canvas Background below. In this spiritual garden of the wetlands, cannot Thee taste the essence of true purity, amongst Clarity's crystal clear air. Oh do I not envy such a creature, as this the Dragonfly, to drift a aloft from reed, to the Abandoned Lillie pad, and see such magnificent Natural beauty within nature itself. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN

Will We Know Him? Will we know Him if He stood in front of us? If He walked by us on the street? Will we know Him? If we have a chance to meet Him in our lifetime? In that split second that we meet Him? Our eyes met for the first time? Will we know Him? Yes reading the moment we stood side by side? Our smiles are very clear Our heart jumps around Yes we do know Him? That look, and that feeling When we know we've found our home Yes we do know Him Yes we know what to say to Him As we walk away together Yes we know Him as He knows us His children We are finally together Rev.

Cookies - Why can't I have the chocolate one I want more She took my cookie Hers is bigger than mine I want to trade That's not fair Cookies + Thank you for the cookie I love you Thanks for all you do for me I am satisfied This is good I am loved Written By Deborah Finneran :) 2013
Though I am not considered to be a Christian, [I love most religions] But I lover to read the gospels of Mark and Mathew, so I wrote them all in verse...Peter Eye for Eye. Folk were listening to our lord Such a crowd had gathered round The news of this enigma Had spread from town to town. The multitudes all came to him To hear the words he spake He'd been speaking there for quite a while And the day was getting late. The lord with Passion in his tone He told those multitudes {There were poor and rich, and saints and sinners The good Lords words, their food} He said to them "now you have heard An eye for eye, and tooth for tooth But I give you another law So listen to my truth". "Do not resist an evil person When struck on the right cheek Turn to him the other also Just hear these words I speak If someone wants to sue you And take your tunic too Then let him have your cloak as well This, I do say to you". If someone makes you walk a mile Then walk with him for two. Give what one may ask you for This be the thing to do. If someone would borrow from you Then do not turn away. Hear ye this, it be the truth These words you hear me say".
The Look On My Child's Face… Just yesterday I noticed a look of love on my child's face. This happened in a most "ordinary place." It was in our home. A place by God's design. I felt God speaking to my heart this particular time. I didn't take any time to stop and realize, The look of love and innocence in my child's eyes. "Am I being the kind of Dad God wants me to be?" "Am I being an example of Christ for my child to see?" Have I been demonstrating my God-given ability, teaching my kids God's love, and responsibility? May a Christ-like life in my kids be clearly seen and understood, As one day they will grow into adulthood. I hope that one day my Children will say: "I want to be like my Dad- every single day!" By Jim Pemberton
Love cannot bloom, love cannot go on, love cannot persue it dreams, love cannot be what it is meant to be, love cannot be where it is supposed to be, if love doesn't have two hearts. Love needs two hearts to be true, Like water to a dried rose makes it bloom in spring weather with such glory and beauty. Love cannot be true if one heart doesn't love the other. Care, trust, honesty and loyalty in love it has no boundaries, it has no color, it has no age, like a fine wine or an aged whiskey it grows better with time. But love cannot fullfill without the other half. If a woman loves man, let her love him, if you love me, than love me, but if my heart is gone and cannot be found in such relation with you then I must halt, till my heart comes around. If it never does show with the first light of morning, then it wasn't meant to be with thee. Come now, do not shed a tear for me, a simple heathin, who cries havoc when something doesn't go his way. Do not cry, do not shed your one of a kind tears for a souless man, for a heartless man like I, but do not blame me, if my heart cannot be found. Love needs two hearts, not one or the other can survive without each other. Love is patient, love is kind, but with ever lover comes another. And we will all fall in great and deep love, be intoxicated with each other, and our sweet kisses that God himself would shed a tear for such beauty that still exisits. Love needs two hearts, you cannot have one, without the other.

Behaving according to values leads to euphoria and inspiration. And as I (smilingly) say sometimes, this is what saves the soul. Selecting to be alone if you should, fight and stand tall, saves the soul and mind. Selecting to be smart, refusing to compromise without reacting foolishly, saves your dignity and spirit. Being a winner in your perceived world by just applying your aura and presence, makes you a master. Winning the needs of your own self and those your perceived world imposes upon you, makes you an Overman. © G. V., 08-18-2013 All rights reserved
PATIENCE We hear that patience is a virtue Is this true, or simply virtual reality When leaders are teaching our youth; do as I say, not as I do Regression to a version of the American truth Impatience is becoming intolerance But to be patient is viewed as ignorance In a blind world conforming to violence Very few see need for benevolence Many view crime as way of life Government fuels fires, causing strife Committing true crime with their lack of pride Our country torn by those who lied Promoting bigotry and distaste for the unknown But these days color and homosexuality are lactose free Intolerant of equality, it's a problem, clearly Love is love, embrace the hate Hold it tightly until it sees the light Peace pushed just beyond our reach We realize that "hope and change" was just a speech Wars raging through the land we call home In God we trust, not this powerful regime Speak out now with virtuous impatience Change is change no matter how small the feat Restore hope with unfaltering acceptance and grace Serve what you stand for, no time left to waste
Healing Can Only happen, When the Pain is Gone! Healing can only happen, when the pain and damage are gone! It can only come about, when there's no "lists" of wrongs! People need to move ahead, and put all of the past behind them! And seek God's forgiveness, so his grace can find 'em! Too many carry a load of sorrow and grief that they can't afford! They need to bring everything to Jesus, and make him their LORD! How can we experience healing, if the suffering is still there? How will we ever be able to love others, and truly care? May we all seek the kind of healing, that only Christ can bring! May we allow him to remove all pain and suffering! Jesus… We need your healing now! More than ever before! It is your love that we must learn to treasure and adore! Please come now and refresh us with your awesome love! The sweetness of your Holy Spirit, is a gift from above! Thank you God! The pain is gone and the healing has come! All praise, glory and honor to Jesus! God's anointed son! By Jim Pemberton 10/19/13
The Bible Gives the Recipe For Success! The Bible gives the recipe to be successful! Life doesn't have to be burdened and stressful! True spiritual success, may not be what you think of! God can give much more, than you can dream of! He gives joy unspeakable! The half hasn't been told! You can walk with him one day, on streets of gold! Blessings come from allowing Jesus to rule your heart! This is where an abundant life, can actually start! Fellowship with Jesus, is friendship divine! He can restore your life! And bring peace of mind! He can restore anything the enemy has taken away! And offers true love and joy, to brighten your day! God's recipe for success, cannot be made or bought! His son died for you! And loves you a lot! Won't you read the Bible? And allow God's word to be applied? Everything you'll ever need in life... He has supplied! Please Lord Jesus… Come and fill our empty soul! It's only YOU that can make us whole! By Jim Pemberton
We will cherish these moments Because they are few, But please always remember I will always love you.
By my side: The tallest mountain, The calmest pond, The purest stream; My hope and strength, Faith and love; The Lord, Our God, Always by our side
So you sinned? Well, that's done and over with! Keep it in the past 'Cause that's where it belongs. But ask Jesus for forgiveness; Don't dwell on mistakes any longer Because He makes you new again: Renewed. Love is the outcome; Forget the wrongs, Love and move on!

Temperature dip urban leaves turned Autumn, sniffing around for a place to settle no Farmer's Market in San Francisco today.
You've fallen down again; How can you let darkness win? You just scraped your knee, You didn't break your leg. It will all be okay; I will give you strength. Brush it off, my child; Come and take my hand. Let me help you up again; You will be okay. I have always been with you, And I always will be. I am by your side, But this time, Will you allow me to take the lead?
God, I Need Your Forgiveness! God, I need your forgiveness, for things I've done! I need to be washed through the blood of your son! Please take away the heartache and pain! Help me to trust you, when I call on your name! May t take each day to really get to know you! And just take the time to say that I LOVE YOU! May my heart be humbled and broken within! And daily trust Jesus as my savior and friend! I'll always need someone that I can lean on to! I don't know what I'd do, if I didn't have you! By Jim Pemberton
Little do they know this candle is a torch. That this torch a conflagration. Little do they know these rocks are a mountain. That these mountains are earth. Little do they know we still see in the dark. That the darkness births sunlight. Little do they know these trumpets will call. That the call will emancipate. Raise your head from its hunched state knowing that they will one day see A truest composition of you and me.
Four letters put together to create one word, with an impeccable definition. Love..., It is a strong word, Close to the heart, yet far from the woman you Love. Butterflies flying, flapping their orange and white wings in the summer heat. The butterflies flap, flap their beautiful wings together in the summertime of Love. For Love is beautiful, like the summer preludes! Four letters composed, to a Chopin's masterpiece. The Romantic pole reaches out, to touch, to hold, to Love. For these four letters are easy to read and put together to create a complex concept with a universal definition. A four letter word, easy just to say, but it is harder to show. For Love is a simple word made up of simple letters, but a complex meaing that takes most lifetimes to comprehend and others a short while. For I've seen hearts broken and hearts put back together, with this simple word. My heart burned, brused, stabbed knows the dangers of this simple, four letter word. Love, some think it is a game to play when you are bored. Destroying self-esteem of girls, who are already weak and nieve. They long for love, but find surrealist dreams, and see the Man of their dreams slip away in the night. Gone without a trace. While she is sucked into false promises, from simple minded boys, with only one thing on their mind. Love..., it is a joke to some. "I love you," is a laughing stock, while a slap in the face, and disrespect is in fashion. Girls, foolish girls walking in lonesome heartbreak, saying they are in Love. It is sad to see, and hard to hear, I know it is. And to me Love is sometimes fair, and most times a cruel joke. Love, this four letter word is simple to say, but hard to comprehend. Love me and I shall take you by the hand show you caves of mystery, and skies of grace and meadows, filled with flowers, dedicated just for you, no one else, but you. We can make Love on the sandy beaches, under the moonlit sky under the still stars and shooting ones too. Have a romantic dinner of oyster-shells and champange and kiss each other, till we drown in intoxication and fall asleep in each others arms. huh, Love... A simple, four letter word, that is easy to say, but even harder to show.
Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust? As our courts remove God from this great nation. We are left with a confused and lost generation! As God is taken away from our public schools. A huge tide of immorality is what "rules." The Bible is often mocked and discarded. It was on it's principles this country was started! Just about anything of God seems to get scorned. So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms. As God's name is often tossed and thrown out. We tend to forget what HE is all about! Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused. No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused! As people forget God and worship the fallen creature. They look to themselves and "glorify" their features. Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions. And with this, come disease, heartache and afflictions! As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding." It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking! If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer! He loves all of us! And he really does care! Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in? Won't you allow him to be your master and friend? He brings strength and nourishment to the soul! It's only in him that we can be made whole! By Jim Pemberton
Hey! are you a Zulu? Am a Bushman...no you are a Bantu,a Bantu or Hottentots? Maybe an Afrikaner. I came from the Cape Colony...not from Soweto where"balck animals"are Dwelling, pathetic Creatures formed by the Hands of Hades. Beast of burden for the Afrikaner. Bound with fetters and Chains,it ploughs the Field,cultivates and plants The seed of sedition..alas! These beasts un- wind their yokes;to be human. Can a leopard change its Spots? Yes these animals Prophesied. Lo! what do I now see? No Beast of burden to till our Land rather they dwell Among us. Alas! their prophecy lives!
Thank You Jesus For Changing Me! Jesus reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and "rearranged" it! He brought to me his mercy and care. That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! He restored unto me the joy of my salvation! And brought to my life a heavenly invitation! He gave to me everything that I needed! He brings the victory! Satan is defeated! He really loves you! Won't you believe him? Just reach out to him now! And receive him! By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Me A NEW Life! God reached down to my life and changed it! His love touched my soul and I can claim it! God brought to me peace, hope and care… That I may share his goodness to people everywhere! God brought to me the joy of his salvation! And gave my life complete satisfaction! He's given everything that I needed! He gives the victory! I don't have to be defeated! He can do the same for you! Won't you accept him? Just reach out to him now! And believe him! By Jim Pemberton
All around me Great cities made of sand. Green sky scrapers poke through the ground To thrive in life's strict conditions And melt away with the tide… Great houses made of cards Form lines, and tightrope walk existence, Knowing that any moment, the wrong brick may fall And buckle our world to its knees As Mother Earth shouts Jenga! from the sidelines. So while were here We dance with the Glass Goddess Poised miles above reality, Leaping over the heavens on our domino stilts- We floor it in the sky Living death in the fast lane, Seizing the day Because any moment We could disappear Into Jacob Reinhardt 10/15/2013
The ambition that was given for mission Methodically apply message from sky A hard worker know they need no permission They remain practical as time flies by Arising at times their is pessimism So cautiously they vie for self discipline While still relying on expressionism Patience from them is like the drug insulin
An Ode To LIFE As I lay my head down and start to fall asleep I see myself being carried off to a place and time the place of our Lords birth in Bethlehem of Judea As in the Bible tells the story of His life and how he lived and died in that human seance and rose on the day He told of I do not remember being here but I remember the story I was taught so many years ago As I walk through the streets of Bethlehem I see each scene and hear every word as I am learning the story they telling is true The writer writes of a jealous King and his way of dealing with his people and of Mary and Joseph who came to Bethlehem to have a child The story tells of the three wise men who saw a star in the north and heard of a child who was born to be the King of the Jews and come to see and bring Him gifts An angel from the Heavens above came to Mary and Joseph in a dream and told them they had to leave Bethlehem or King Herod would have their son killed So they left Bethlehem and went to Egypt and there they lived until King Herod no longer ruled As I follow along in my dream I see each scene and hear every word as I am puzzled by the fact I understand each I don't understand why I'm going through this time but I know I must continue on this journey As I am pulling through a time where I reach the place of Jesus' in Nazareth of Galilee As I watched Him grow and work in His father's shop I could see the thing in Him that were with me As I walk along the streets and look around I hear the people talk of a child that speaks of wondrous love that's all forgiving and of a Father in Heaven that's loving and true.

As I think about where my life has been... It's hard to believe that I'm still here again! I think about the many things I've been through. And ask myself the question; "what am I going to do?" With the trials of life, have come trials. A life filled with uncertainty and many "traveled miles." It's like riding the waves of life's stormy sea. Never knowing where the next wave will take me! Everything I know... And all that I've done… I lay down my life at the feet of Jesus... God's precious son! I ask you Jesus for mercy! I come to you now! I come before your majesty and humbly bow! You've brought love and wholeness within! You've given me a "new life!" And took away my sin! I love and thank you Lord, for your hand extended! The beauty of your holiness is to be commended! You brought to me hope, in a hopeless situation! And have given to me the wonderful gift of salvation! By Jim Pemberton
Whisper me the sweet sound of freedom, The sweet sound found in Your Name, Holy and Heavenly freedom, All in the Name of Jesus!
They praise me like a saint, But I am a sinner; They don't know the man they see. I am an addict. Broken eyes to pornography, Only Jesus can set me free. Only by His death on the cross And the grace of His Father's love Am I able to be set free. With God as The Light, The One and Only Light, The Only Hope in sight, Will I be set free. I am free.
Satan HATES everything that God loves! He tries to counterfeit everything he does! He goes about as a lion, seeking whom to devour! He comes after us! But God alone has the power! Satan will twist God's truth, into a corruptible lie! He has one mission! And that is to see you die! He wants to enslave you into deep addictions! And bring into your life, unneeded afflictions! He has one purpose, ambition and goal… Is to seek eternal damnation of your very soul! Jesus has come! His TRUTH can set you free! He has come that you may have life abundantly! Won't you accept him? You can overcome! Through the shed blood, and power of God's son! All glory to Jesus! All praise to HIM on high! He is your protector! He is El-Shaddai! Won't you allow God's love to bring you salvation? He offers it to right now! A heavenly invitation! God's love is stronger than Satan! HE reigns supreme! He can help you to overcome, the lies the devil brings! By Jim Pemberton
From some other time, from some other race I've stopped for a visit, from some other place A sovereign soul, I retain still a trace Of all other places I've been to in space I'll stay 'til I'm tired and learn what I must Then move on with joy to my home in grace My clothes are my body, it will fall of in dust It's only borrowed, yet a great sacred trust Genetics of my parents, my soul, my own And I owe them greatly for their selfless loan It serves for the moment, and offers a ride To view my creation, I produced from inside I've passed through the curtain to appear once again On the stage of the theatre with all of my friends I'll learn from them and they'll learn from me Interchanging our roles, growing eternally I retain all the best features that I ever had With the help of my friends, to these I will add I'll wash out my vices, my lusts and my sin And learn from the voice of my master within He hears all my wishes, provides all my needs He gives me the answers and governs my deeds He is my silent teacher, the voice of the soul Pushing me relentlessly toward my goal I've been here many times, each time playing the role That I most needed then, for the growth of my soul In the fourth generation I'll appear once again With a plan for perfection and a lifetime to spend Seeking final completion of an eons long quest To reach the last level in the alchemical test Until finally perfect, no need to return No problems to solve, no lessons to learn Then I can rest, my journey complete Perfected and purified in my creators seat Then through other dimensions in steps not yet trod I will finally arrive to reunion with God I chose this experience and I wrote the play I chose the actors I perform with today It has been what I've made it, none other to blame I'm a noble and a traveler, in life's wonderful game.
My Sins – Zamreen Zarook Oh God you are so gracious, Am a guy who have done since in capacious, At times I have being as a carnivorous, But it charged ages to identify as dangerous. Since are being committed behind the screen, Even it started at my thirteen, Mirrors used to say that I am evergreen, Whereas my since were always unseen. In enormous number I have executed, But for every count, high privacy was aborted, Simply because of your blessings we are bracketed, If not, we are already being quoted. Oh God, I understood your kindness, Here after I won't commit since in others absence, However much chances I get to access, I will always have heaven as my address.
It's alive! A life form Thriving on hatred Reaped from societies Greatest blunder Like lighting Follows thunder We are following our ancestors Reproducing civilization Mistake Disregard the fact That we are all human our blood is red I smirk when I'm contented And shed tears when I'm poignant We are all equal cease this schism And trounce racism
Every second we're away, We grow stronger everyday Until that day will finally come When we know it's okay And we will rest in each other's arms In peace from God above, No longer missing one another Because we're together; Built forever in each other's love.
I've waited this day to come For you and I become one Every day that has passed I wish that we could last After days,months and years we build together Here we are now to be forever I know that this is God's will And I trust God for everything On this day.. I'll promise to love you always to hold your hand No matter what we may face in future On this day.. I'll promise that I'll be with you until we grow old And You are better than anything you can compare in this world.
As you are day I am night As I am night You are day When I was blind you were my sight In the hours of darkness you were my guiding light Like the moon and the stars that shine so bright You navigated me home in the foggiest of nights. The heavens have sent you this I do not doubt As i tally my blessings I take you into count For you were the only one to help me surmount. No longer wanting to live a life of sedation As I walk the road to self revelation I carry a heart full of love, respect and appreciation For the one whom helped me claim my throne of salvation. THANK YOU
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.
CONFIDENCE The world is full of people trying to stand out. But they don't realize that they already do. They try so hard to figure what life's all about. With all their piercings, Crazy hair, and fresh tattoos. They miss out because of the worry they feel. Will they approve of the way I dress, think, or act? In the spotlight a few moments they might steal. But some of the stupid things they do can't be taken back. I have a secret that only the few wise ones know. Love who you are and forget what they think. And all the good things in life will soon follow. And you shall rise above all as the critics sink. So meet the world with you head held high. Let them see the beauty that is in you. Let them see your happiness and joy inside. And know that nobody needs to love you more than you do.
Just When It Seems Like Life Is Overwhelming! Just when it seems like I've faced my darkest night… And things in life, aren't turning out right… This is about the time, when things are falling apart! And I began to feel a lot of stress in my heart! I run to Jesus! I know that he wants to help me! He's always here! And promises to never leave me! He sees me, and speaks words of comfort, to follow! He reminds me, that he'll take care of today and tomorrow! He lets me know that he won't let go of my hand! Everything I'm going through… He understands! He turns back all of the problems that are overwhelming! And I see what things my life, are becoming! I have fellowship with Jesus! Like I never had before! He's given to me peace and hope! And much more! I'm glad I have such a wonderful friend like this! His love and joy… I don't want to miss! Thank you Jesus! For turning my life around! And for plating my life on a solid ground! You're all I want! And all that I've needed! With you as my Lord! My life has been completed! By Jim Pemberton
Make him A Soldier Make him a soldier so I won't cry anymore Transform a boy to a man so he will stand...alone In the dark forest beaming as natural combustion of dusk in the sky Red blood running through our veins is the same identical as if we share the same DNA And even as a child I couldn't deny how our hearts beat the same Rate pulse pace...boom it startled me but as I gaze in his eyes I felt a deep connection as if he knew me better than I knew myself White Our love is so pure and shall never be tampered and even if life tries to poison us we will always have each other pure love Blue water a million miles away from me and as he travels from sea to sea I think of him daily I try to remember where we came from blue water shared space different times Blossomed from a tulip where our petals do not vary and the sepals seem to follow a course set to sail So I beg you Make him A soldier so I won't cry an ocean of tears Transform a boy to a man so he will stand beside me in my darkest hour. Help me to raise my head when he is long gone from here When my fears are red my soul turns blue let me remember the purity of us how I loved a my brother a man of red, white and blue!
Everything Must Count... Everything I do and say must count, Even if; it is only a small amount. Everything must have a positive effect, For the image of God I must reflect. The lives that I help to rearrange, All must be definitely, positively changed. The advice that I give, must enlighten; The future and lives of people; brighten. Because I know the solution to every problem, Jesus, He alone can solve them. End By: Dion Penville
The Fear of the Lord Brings Wisdom! The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. This is a helpful key to enter his kingdom! This encourages a reverence for his holy name! Having God's wisdom, can spare us, so much shame! God loves and cares for us! And listens when we pray! Through his son Jesus, his love has been displayed! He's given to us his word, as a way to remind us… We may get lost… But God's love will find us! Having a Godly fear, will nourish the soul! Having his wisdom will help make us whole! Won't you seek the Lord? While he may be found? He can pick you up, when you feel you're losing ground! Come one and all! All of heaven does proclaim… Anything you need… You can find in Jesus' name! Please, dear lord, bring your presence and love! And guide us with your wisdom and spirit from above! By Jim Pemberton
I picked up a penny face-down, But I don't believe in luck. Everything happens for a reason; God's mercy frees the stuck. Redeem me, Heavenly Father; Please, I know the wrong I've done. Thank You for dying for me; My sins You have overcome!
Stand up and shake; Feel the rhythm in your heart. Ignite those pants; We get up and dance. God on our mind, Eternity in our souls; Feel the chills of those bones. It's the hope. Open those closed doors: Into Heaven we go, Welcomed and forgiven. Here is the love; Let's dance!
Like a cherry tree in the spring, God if this is meant to be, Please let this blossom.
You are in my heart wherever I go; You I will never let go. You are with me always; You I am always. This is love. Build by God above, This is love.
Soft, still, the silence heaves I inhale, the Spirit breathes; Flowing, growing Christ bestowing Life and strength surpassing knowing. Scented, soothing, respiration Taking in His inspiration; Filling, feeling Christ exalted Love and Grace supremely vaulted. Sure, secure the Spirit wind Where flows the Sovereign; God revealing Christ resplendent Hope and purpose codependent. When He breathes upon the morn Hope has dawned and life is born; He my all in all shall be From now unto eternity. Job 33:4
My New Way – By Shawn Chadwick Sackman One day I woke up Feeling sorry for myself Not what I wanted for me And then it hit me Realized I was free to be anything Had big dreams before, but where had they gone From that day on I said come-on My true test Never lose this feeling, feel so blessed (Pre Chorus) Heard the choir singing Oh man I am reeling Looked up winked, said thanks for the healing (Chorus) It's my new way It's the same me, just a new way of trying I'm not letting a thing stop me From believing, not deceiving I know the way, know how it should be, there just for me Trick is don't lose faith in believing, in the gift of receiving It's clear now that it's a really new day For my new way I now want to try, to see what's next Got list of things to do, from my new view I'm so okay, think I'll stay (Pre Chorus) Heard the choir singing Has me really reeling No no's, just say yes and go It's a great feeling, want everyone to know (Chorus) It's my new way It's the same me, just a new way of trying I'm not letting a thing stop me From believing, not deceiving I know the way, know how it should be, there just for me Trick is don't lose faith in believing, in the gift of receiving It's clear now that it's a really new day 'Cause I know this feeling helps me Help others who can't see Not like before, no gray days for me Oh what a day My new way Oh, I know it's not just my new way My new way
You wake me up with Your endless light So beautiful in shining, so bold, so bright! You paint the landscapes and let Your love shine For the whole world to see, to feel Your gorgeous life!
Run, run, run and give it all up! Into His arms, commend your love! Through Him, you are saved! What a beautiful, glorious day!
It's not the same without you; The days are rainy and the nights are blue. My heart is crying and God is too, But we are smiling, waiting here for you.
I tried to write about love but I haven't felt it. I tried to write about the sea but I've never seen it. Then I tried to write about the air, but I have never breathed it. I tried to write about magic but I never believed it. I couldn't write about god, all I have ever done is sinned. And when I tried to write about life I found, I have never really lived.
This record player has a switch Then there is the pitch and ditch
This is confusion at its best One's will has been put to the test This concerns the crossing of line Events all do play out just fine Consider this before you whisk The reward is more than the risk No matter how we scream and shout Lacking faith always carries doubt Feelings of love never taken From those who have felt forsaken The condition of heart and mind They really put us in a bind Yes, true life is all about change Though we try not to rearrange Sometimes we try do what is right Knowing it is well beyond sight Whenever you feel the wind blow Try to understand this and know No matter how we scream and shout Lacking faith always carries doubt Feelings of love never taken From those who have felt forsaken Baby eagle steps off the cliff Spread your wings sweet baby for lift Soar the heavens way up above Along side his heavenly dove No matter how we scream and shout Lacking faith always carries doubt Feelings of love never taken From those who have felt forsaken Remember the climb of trunk slow For those of you whom in the know Again the spreading of wings Sailing upon wind as though sings No matter how we scream and shout Lacking faith always carries doubt Feelings of love never taken From those who have felt forsaken
Always a little leak, Dripping in my roof. As the thunder and the lighting, Storm around my telephone booth. The tidal wave is rising, To drown the children a sleep, As we hammer in the nails, Through his bleeding wrists and feet. Some talk of joy and wonder, Some talk of better days, But I try to tell you something, That makes you shy away. The humanity inside you, The innocent lamb and dove, Have been eaten by the humans, Covered in *****and mud. Your soul you held within you, Your children that you loved, Have been eaten by the humans, Who drank the holy blood. The holy and the sacred, That once we beheld in awe, Is now the dancing laughter , Of the drunkard and the whore. Always a little leak, Dripping through my roof, As the fishes go on swimming, Around my telephone booth. more poem at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Always running late; Just taking time to enjoy it. Life is a car speeding fast, But it's better to be stuck in traffic.
Inspired by a night time view over Dublin city from the Featherbed Mountains. Standing on the edge of a forest overlooking a night time city, Like a fallen galaxy trapped between the sea and mountains tall. Multi-coloured Stars sparkled brightly, beautiful yet cold. At least that's how it felt from the darkness of my lofty view. A whispering forest sigh ran cool fingers through my hair, As if admiring the shared view while, tolerating my presence. The creaking wood behind, swayed like a landlocked ocean current, Pine leaves wafted down, scratching the air as they vainly spun, Like a child leaving home for the first time, tremulous yet free. Alone and muted flew a neon eagle, high above the city jewels, The clouds dissolve and the fallen galaxy reflects on high. S.de B ............................12thJuly 2012
We live our lives here for a reason we all make mistakes along the road regretting nothing would be a form of Narcissism No lesson learned no lesson told~ Should have could have would have are thoughts that can be entertained we are not perfect on the road walked~ Taking your own inventory discovering any pain written down will release the brave thing to do Look at your self and discover ~ "Harm to one another in gossip or lies told false stories full of hateful intent listening to these silently agreeing to participate " Regret undiscovered causes Rage ~ People whom see eyes closed People we all meet courage in taking our own inventory learning every day is a lesson shared clean your side of the street doing your best to forgive your own heart then others ~
Winners never quit, Quitters never win, If you're ill fated, it's not your sin, Take it positive, whether you fail, Mold you harder sharp like a nail, Coz slow and steady wins the race, Don't matter how shorter is your pace, And be steadfast and not to falter, Have you viewed a rein like a halter, A pulse less thing but control, A horse cab and their soul, A feeble man who empowers his energies, Can defeat the world with countless mysteries, And a man with full vain and power, Can't even create a pillar or tower, Until one faith on his qualities and capabilities, He won't able to surmount with possibilities, Summit the highest peak of the world yes you can! Beat all difficulties and hurdles with your plan, Wake up young man; it's not a dream, So get over worries and have big beam. Shahid Hussain Chouhdry
Sometimes I get stuck in the struggle And I forget that this life is real, Full of real love, Full of real people, Full of real strength, Full of real faith. Look around Because this is real. Welcome to reality; This is God's amazing life!
May We Speak the Goodness of God! I heard a Christian speak... Oh, the kinds of words he was using! Perhaps, to him, it was "entertaining and amusing." I couldn't believe the profanity and cursing that came out! Is this what the purpose of our life is all about? The bible says; "we speak out of the abundance of our heart." We need to think of what we say! Before we start! God knows that many of us stumble along the way. We have said things that later, we knew, we shouldn't say! If we're going to continually speak ungodly things. We need to think about what, to our life, this really brings! Think about the influence, we have on our kids! They listen to what we speak! And how we live! May the Holy Spirit bring power and conviction! And help us to say that which brings edification! May the word of God enrich our body and soul! May it help us speak that which is good, honorable and whole! May we seek to daily bring honor to Jesus! In what we do! May this be a commitment both for me and you! Jesus is worthy of our lips, bringing him glory and praise! Let's seek to bless him! During our remaining days! Please Jesus, anoint our tongues with your cleansing fire! May we speak the things of God, as our passion and desire! By Jim Pemberton
Looking down from 41 above, I only wish I was below. The sights and sounds so clear to see Glitz as white as snow. The lights are distant to the mountains And the cabs travel around. The brightest city in the world Beams into the heart of this little town. God please give me the grace to see You are all I need.
We walk talk like champions in the streets of nowhere planting seeds birthdays turn into funerals the life cement was not strong enough to build our hopes or blessings that petrol drive through our hidden abilities we all have spare wheels that God personally manufactured for us and He made education our only air filler for flat tires and this is why we don't stop and breath on our way to our dreams before we get admired right at this moment sum1 is getting cured through the love of spoken worded words laying clear pictures and he could name us life pitchers with endless scriptures and that's for his ears as he turns to be the world's champion
If I should die right now If I should die right now I wouldn't even stir As death would take me by the hand And make the mind a blur All that is and ever was Is in this moment 'now' Oh, what have I to grieve about The force will live somehow. When lost within this now There's nothing can be wrong No matter what the circumstance I'm me, And I belong To everything and anything There's naught to fade away Though I know not how to speak of this I know not what to say. If I should die right now The mind would fill with fear But somewhere there's a truth in me That makes it all so clear Immortal is the core of me I know it always will be The one that cannot ever fade I am this one I am me.
What Shall I Do? For the One Who Gave So Much? What shall I do? For the one who gave so much? God reached down, and blessed me, with his touch! What shall I do? To my lord who bled and died? It was for my life, that Jesus was crucified! What shall I do? To the God who truly loves me? He has made it know that he wants to be with me! What shall I do? For the many who've "lost their way?" Please dear Jesus… Give me the right words to say! What shall I do? As my way of, expressing my gratitude? May God help me to have a Christ' like attitude! What will YOU do? In this time that God's given to you? He's here right now! And is patiently waiting for you! What will YOU do? Will you give God a chance ? Won't you accept his salvation? Whatever the circumstance? What Christ will do… Is to do, what he does best! Simply give him your life! He'll take care of the rest! What Christ has done…. Is to give life everlasting! Everything you need… Is right here, for the asking! By Jim Pemberton
Will I turn back? No, why? Cuz this is my path, in life. Will i stop, and wait for death? Or will I live life, Breath by breath? I choose to live day to day, with this life, Cuz death can take us at any time. Why not make the best of what we have now? I REFUSE to keep my head hanging down. I will try to live life to the best of my ability, With peace, love, and tranquility. i choose to be and think positively, If I dont, I'll be self demolishing. I chose the path I walk, Whether it be with someone or alone, I'm pleased with myself and maybe a place to call home... Who knows? I will mature even wiser than before Don't be jealous because YOUR decisions were poor. Happier more than I ever was, now uncovered, A life out there, WORTH being discovered?!?!?!?!? Will I turn back? No, Why? Cuz this is my path, in LIFE.
Jesus Is the Best Thing That Happened to Me! Jesus is the best thing that happened to me! He loves me so much! It's plain to see! Jesus has provided everything I need, to get tough! If it wasn't for him… I don't know what I'd do! Jesus has come, that I might life so abundantly! He's given me all I need… Most assuredly! He does for me, what nothing in this world, could ever do! And completely understands, everything I go through! He brings his peace, hope and a blessed satisfaction! I can have fellowship with him! A "heavenly interaction!" He can restore what the enemy has stolen and taken away! He brings a true meaning! And has changed me today! I'm very thankful! For all that he's provided! I'm going to live for him! This has already been decided! Thank you Jesus! My lord and my best friend! You've done so much for me! Over and over again! I praise your name! And want you to know… I'll tell others of your goodness… Wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton
At the corner of Madison and Huron, The faint pedestrian appears. A couple holding hands walking swiftly As police pass near. Cane in his hands Walks a younger looking man, Rolling his suitcase along A central corner in a downtown city Where faith, hope, and love belong. May God bless you Toledo, Today and forevermore.
To be absolutely certain To be firmly convicted in principle and belief Is the scariest feeling of all But, like all feelings, it never lasts The conviction stays, but the mind wanders Deep into the zones of ostensible comfort Where it rests merely to frenzy Into the streets of opposition Straight into the absolute wrong But the feeling never lasts It returns to the minute certainty The mind becomes determined in the conviction it has embraced And the best feeling rises above the initial fear: Gratefulness 6-29-13
Princess Tinsel. It was a day in springtime in the valley All the Elves and fairies gathered round Today it was the coronation morning Fairy Princess Tinsel would be crowned. As blackbirds and some thrushes in the treetops They warbled out a happy sounding song The crickets and the frogs joined in, in chorus You could tell that there was something going on. Fairy Princess Tinsel, she was lovely And on this very day she would be queen And all the woodland people were ecstatic For such a caring princess she had been. So then the valley's filled with happy laughter As fairy dust did sparkle everywhere For Princess Tinsel soon she would be ruler And oh, that lady was so very fair. And as I end this story our Queen Tinsel Has married her the prince who now be king And peace and happiness does rule the valley Which now they call "the land of everything". 21 August 2013 @ 1635hrs.

Stimulating ideas pop into your head You need a pen…you need a piece of lined paper It looks like you're outtah luck…no wonder you're drowning in dread You need a shoulder to lie your head down for a moment's rest… You need a helper…to aid you while you struggle emotionally… I'm not trying to irritate you purposely Try with all your might…try your best To stay optimistic and fervent I believe that you'll pass the test Be upbeat, kindhearted and jubilant I appreciate the words you wrote on my notebook… Sometimes, I feel like leftovers left on the counter… I'm a rotten mess – you're leaving me as if I'm an uninteresting book Sometimes, I feel like a coward – I don't mean to bother… But, you're like no other . . . You're like a mat – you're constantly stepped on… I'm like YOUR unwanted tool – I stepped on you and Pushed your buttons I accused you of being the fool When, in fact, I'm the fool by your side… You're drifting…pushing me aside… I'm writing words of truth though – Expressing how much I'm fond of you I esteem your presence Glowing with glee At times, you do say things without thinking I'm the god of distress – You're leaving me breathless Cutting me down like I'm some decaying tree You don't see how much you make me… Guilty for your crimes Taking the blame about the hundredth time At times, I feel that I'm awkward when I'm around you You're like a backpack – you carry everyone's weight… You're like a sponge – soaking in our stress I'm a distraction to you – you're wasting valuable time…but don't hesitate I'm writing words of self-centered feelings – logic doesn't exist… But these feelings aren't as bad as committing a crime These feelings come and go – I just had to confess I didn't mean to screw up your progress… Hey, if you need a few sheets of paper to right on, Use me like a notebook instead…and write with all your might It seems as if you read me…like a book that drags on and on Use me as your tool of relaxation… and read me all night When you wrote those words on my notebook… It made my day…you're such a delight Like reading a fascinating, classic book
As tears of strength and courage slip down my face, I have waited so long for this euphoric embrace. Through trials and tribulations, I have kept my head up and marched, Strived through fearlessly. Though I walk through the valley of shadows and death, I shall have no fear. I know I am meant for more than this. I strive for perfection, Which we all know is impossible. Therefore live life pure and full of bliss. Be happy, Take chances, Fall in love… a few times! Truly, genuinely learn to appreciate every little thing. Moments are like shooting stars; If you don't keep your head up towards the sky, You might miss out on the one that will change your life. March 2013
This Thanksgiving Day... During this time known as Thanksgiving Day. I hope you'll give thanks and pray. A prayer of thanks for everything God has given. He has blessed us in the way we've been livin'! Our country is blessed like no other. God has supplied our "bread and butter." He's given us the freedom, we've all enjoyed. Be thankful for your food, home and being employed. For those who've endured hardship... Thank God too! It's no secret how much he loves YOU! We find in the Bible... God clearly said; "I've never seen the righteous forsaken, Nor their children begging for bread." Thanks be to Jesus, for his love, mercy and grace. And for making my heart, "his special place." I am blessed and thankful to Jesus indeed. He's given me salvation and supplies my every need. I thank God for this special day in November. Thanksgiving is a day... I will always remember!

Through morning fog, and mountain air, a path less traveled takes me there… With new found strength, where once was none, as I climb high, so does the sun. In this secret, quiet, hidden spot, time reveals what's important... - and what is not. It doesn't matter what you've bought, but it matters what you've built. If you make your presence noticed, then your absence will be felt… Copyright © 2013
I have wondered long on how it would feel If true love I ever found Would I know in my heart that this is the one To whom my soul would be bound - Is it to you that my soul is bound? How should I respond to the words you speak Can I know whether they are sincere Am I able to tell by the sound of your voice As you whisper in my ear? When you look at me so lovingly With that twinkle in your eye It stirs my heart and lights my soul There are times it makes me cry I am overwhelmed at the depth of your love How tender you are to me And I think to myself - can this really be true Or is it just fantasy? Are my fears misplaced - Do I wonder too much? Am I using my doubts as a crutch? Should I open my mouth and reveal to you Just how deeply my heart has been touched? I'll let fear and doubt go now - and trust in our love For I know I have finally found A treasure of love burning bright within me And to you, my soul will be bound Yes. It's to you my soul is bound!
The will to win will ebb and flow throughout our lifetime. Where the will to win settles is determined by the purity of the heart and mind. The will to win can be compelling, stout, and awesome as a redwood tree. The will to win can be insignificant and unimpressive. The size of the will to win is individually controlled by you and me. The will to win can move with grace, dignity, and magnificent fortitude. The will to win can be noticeably clumsy and overbearingly rude. The true, respectful, and heartfelt will to win may bend, but always refuses to break. The will to win may crumble from the least bit of negativity, losing all progress it has made. So, let each of us make a vow that will be etched in stone for the duration of time. Our will to win must never falter or descend. Our will to win must always radiate, by being nothing short of sublime. Al Johnson, aka Alfredo Leon
God Is Good! All the Time! God is good! All of the time! I'm so thankful, he's a friend of mine! His goodness reaches beyond the stars! He's always here! Never too far! His goodness reaches, beyond our understanding! And gives life freely! And it's everlasting! His goodness brings comfort, Peace, and hope! And helps me down, life's "slippery slopes!" Please, dear God, May your goodness flow! And bring much needed strength to my soul! Your goodness always strengthens my spirit! Help me to be willing, to freely share it! By Jim Pemberton
January 24, 2014 Little Mountain Star Little Mountain Star, how dare you fall to my feet from afar! You should be dancing across galaxies warm and happy. You have an attitude that blemishes when you are sappy. Carry yourself up to the Northern winds and plant your Star! Take me with you but bring me back with a great spar. Hot or cold you must not ever get too snoopy or snappy. Up! Up! Up! I tell you to rise like your big daddy pappy! Little Mountain Star hear me, oh hear me plead this par. You are too big, Much too little, I will take a swig! I stand in the middle! Conquer me or defeat me, I will adore you forever. I will stand between this to and fro until whenever!

Children with an illness, Go through life, They are looked down apon, Because they are different, When really they are not, They are no different from you and me, They have the same blood, Running through their bodies, Just as their hearts as well, So, don't just look apon, Their outer appearance, And judge them, For who they really are, For a lot of them, Are smarter and brighter, Than you and I, Could possibly be, On our brightest day, For they have the gifts, From God up above, So, always take the time, To get to know their inner beauty, For who they really are, Cause they too need love, Just as everyone else does, If not even more.
pretty amazing to behold, once of a llfetime story never before been told. behind all the biggest miracle: there is a woman in every age, blessed above all the rest of the mother's, from the beginning, ever since time began, you journeyed and fought a good race, besides everything that we do, you are a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and grandma, because of you, I am not lost. you found me on low, you stood by me in every hurt that I cost. mother of all heritage, you beloved are a blessing of all miracles.
Was it enough or was it too much? Sometimes too fast but always too slow! God knows that I come with these seeds that grow. Inside and out I absorb every single touch, But why should I? Why should I be the only one that knows? Stepping through time and sliding back so smooth so I go! I say I can qualify! Where was I and why was I there? Sometimes too obvious but always with doubt! God knows that I come riding in on a prayer. I absorb every single touch inside and out, But why should I? Why should I be the only one that cares? Climbing the highest mountains and sliding down so steep but on a dare! I say I can magnify! What did I say and what did I do? Sometimes too quite but always too loud! God knows that I come with a gleam that shines so proud. Inside and out I absorb every single touch by you. But why should I? Why should I be the only one in the crowd? Walking on water and walking backwards but at least I know how. I say I can intensify! Do I want to or do you need me to? Sometimes I wonder and sometimes I simply don't care. God knows that I come standing on a higher sky of blue. I absorb every single touch by you inside and out with this glare. But why should I? Why should I be the only one with this view? Up in the clouds and aimless but always led by you! I say, "I SANCTIFY"! ®Registered: 1997 Ann Rich
Remain in the darkness, though full of fright, Children of faith do not fear; I will find you there, it is a sure sight. When the night comes, don't seek the light Tho uncertainty is so hard to bear; Remain in the darkness, though full of fright. Blurred vision causing men to suffer blight Be still, for it will be steered clear; I will find you there, it is a sure sight. The night, don't turn to a day bright For brilliance is yet insincere Remain in the darkness, though full of fright. Blinding darkness overnight Is all you have to bear; I will find you there, it is a sure sight. Tonight you should not spite Open your heart and you will hear Remain in the darkness, though full of fright. I will find you there, it is a sure sight. ** inspired by st john of the cross' the dark night of the soul 7/15/14
When I first met you you were so cute that my brain just couldn't compute so I went mute As I stared in awe Wanting to know you Noticing that the reason my heart ached was because of you A girl much more than a pretty face I never wanted to make love out of lust but then I realized that it was in you I trust So I must change to show you this isn't simply fascination
Jesus, Help Me to Have Good Thoughts! There's thoughts and images Satan plants in my head. I know that he ultimately wants me spiritually dead! He tries to twist the truth into a "false reality." But wants me to end up as a spiritual fatality! There are many crazy dreams that are out there! It's the evil and sinful ones that Satan wants in there! I know this very well! And have failed many times! I know it was wrong… But I didn't commit a crime! But I've taken what God beautifully designed… By allowing ungodly thoughts to enter my mind! I need to allow God's spirit and words to cleanse me! No matter how many things try to distract me! God's word is truth and is always 100% pure! It's the only thing that can make my life secure! Anything else is falso! And a strong delusion! If I allow my life and mind to be filled with pollution! I ask for Jesus' blood and forgiveness to be applied! Anything that I need… God has already supplied! I ask for the Holy Spirit to help and bring about! The cleansing of the filth, in my life throughout! Please dear Jesus, touch and heal me once again! By the renewing of your blood, and taking away my sin! By Jim Pemberton
I am the one you said will never be anything in life, but those same words taught me how to fight. I am the one you called ugly, but I have grown to know true beauty is concentrated and embedded deeply set firmly within me. I am the one that cried the most, but those same tears watered me to grow. I am the one you could not fully love despite your feelings for me; I learned you have to love yourself before being able to love anyone else. I am the one that is determine to be accomplished in life no longer, discourage by your obvious lack of confidence. I am the one who suffered the most pain, but with that same pain knowledge, I gained. I am that one star that you glaze up to when daylight no longer shines through. The twinkle in God eyes his prize possession I am dominance as I continue to rise. I am the one you secretly want to be, but there can only be one you, and one me. As I grow old, my wisdom will continue to grow, and when they lay me to rest, I will be the one known best. Known for whom I was and what I became, not giving you the power over me brought out the very best in me. Sincerely yours truly me, I am the one.
Learning minds Today all those little children it's important what we teach them their little minds are now expanding they need to grow with a good understanding And it's our duty to teach them well To help them want to learn So they know when you study hard today tomorrow you will be reward in return For their holistic development Is to get a very good education And teachers have to set am example For to them you must be an inspiration So we have to make school more fun For today and the future generation For the children of today Are the leaders of our future nation? The way we live our lives at home is how our children will be grown? So we have to do our part as parents we can't depend on the schools alone Let's make our schools a safer environment A place the kids would like to go For the more happier they are today So they will have a brighter tomorrow A child's learning mind is full of innocence So we must always use our common sense Like restricting what they see on TV. Too much violence can be seen to easily This is the time they are at that age they need more than the reading book page the proper example we as adult's have to show Is what they will copy and try to follow? So let's invest morals in our children to grow as respectful young men and women for their roads a head are full of the unknown so it's important what they learn at home So if we really care for their little ones let's show it now and don't waste any more time Because if they don't get their education That would be wasting of their brilliant minds
A Chance Encounter A chance encounter the other day Got me chatting to a stranger Just for some time to pass away. He was very well groomed, very smart. Spoke well too, seemed a decent sort. I told him a little tale I had learned whilst at work. Outside a building that's up for sale Close to the centre of the town A queue of people gathered. Old clothes, hand me downs. Inside people of good heart and souls Were behind tables long. And a kind of soup was poured into bowls. A slice of bread was added to each one poured. As the hungry-eyed came through the door. As each one passed a thank you was heard. Grateful for the meal today. A simple reply least we can do. All was silent no complaints from the poor. Till a young voice said, 'Please Mummy I want more.' I sat back in my chair waiting for a reply. The guy opposite gave a big sigh. He said, 'Things were tough in those days Very hard for the poor in the Victorian Age. They were ignored, did not count, How could others treat them like that?' No-one should be without the means I say, To feed and clothe their children today. I looked at him and shook my head. My dear friend you misunderstand The tale was not yesteryear or a foreign land. I visited a local food bank the day before last. And like you I was taken aback. Unless with my eyes I had seen, The myth about scroungers I would still believe. Some get the dregs, others get the cream. This is Great Britain in 2013. But the people of our Nation are strong In times of strife they speak as one. 'We are mighty as Caesar, mighty as Rome.' ' NI CARBORUNDUM BASTARDORUM'
Rob me of my purity, But once again it's all my fault; Fell into the trap of false promises Because I pressed play instead of pause.
I'm standing at the entrance, there's another bridge to cross Will this next step in my journey bring me gain or loss Should I take the next step boldly? Should I shrink away in fear? Will it bring me victory? Or will it bring me tears? I've seen other victims lying, crying on the ground And I know they're not the kind of folks I like to be around For they like to blame another for their trouble and their pain Never lay it at their own feet where it should be lay'n We're the masters of our own souls, there's no one else to blame We chose all these conditions, now we must play the game We came to learn some lessons, we set it up this way We wrote the rules, the whistle's blown and now it's time to play Each life presents more problems, there for us to solve We've planned it very carefully, to help our souls evolve Before we're born we see our failings, see what we must do Then choose a life that will correct the things that we need to We choose the right environment that will help us best To resolve our issues, and put us to the test We choose our friends and family to help us with the task Confront us with our issues, whatever we did ask Though we can't remember, with some deep thought you'll find Our souls did this within us, in our subconscious mind So when we meet the problem and don't know what to do Remember that we put it there, a hurdle to push through The soul is on a journey and goes from life to life It grows by overcoming all forms of pain and strife That one day it can reach, through all the steps it's trod That perfect state, reintegrate, fully back with God So here I stand now wond'ring, my heart begins to race As I recall my purpose for coming to this place I charge forward boldly with not a backward glance And thank my God within me for giving me the chance
The silent bell rings in the night, Calling the devils to kneel to the light, What once was, becomes no more, As the light breaks through the open door. What you think and what you feel, What you saw and thought was real, Is now only dust on the road, The desolate remains of your ancient abode. The new light is rising on the hill, The new song is singing down in the well, The new souls are dreaming of your face, The new hearts are beating at you pace. The old ideas and reasons you gave, Are buried in the tomb and in the grave, The rotting bone and flesh are gone, In the morning dew, in the morning sun. The light shines through the open door, Casts no shadow on the old dirty floor, The ancient laws of reason and might, Crumble to dust in the morning light. What once was real and certain as rock, Is now the dream the baby forgot, The new light coming to wake you my love, The silent lamb and the flying dove. more of my poems at : http://labyrinthoflies.com
LOVE FOREVER FADES AWAY!!!! wrote by Mrs.Madhavi.Suyog.Pagare Waving like the sea, Your decision was bias. You ought to give me wedding ring, But set my dreams on fire. Can you answer me for the single reason, what made you do this? Was it the beauty? Was it the caste, or the complexion? You said I am your love at first sight. You were the one who took the initiative and intended to keep it up. You were the one who delightedly filled my heart with zeal of love. You were the one who elegantly filled the warmth of love in my soul. Confronted with an unsolvable dilemma's where there is no right answer, we always know the answer to everything. But what you did? You just made false promises. Still you define it as the love, true love? Or the love that vanished with no reason. Answer me, answer me, my thee?? Near the bandra reclamation, Sitting at the amusement park, You were the one who excitedly expressed your thirsty feelings. You were the one who stared at me without closing your eyes for a single second. But you were the one who set my dreams on fire. You said you will ask your parent's for lifetime commitment? But I will ask you one thing, if you feel your parents will understand and decide your love, then why you fell in love? If you know that story wont line up with an happy ending, then what made you do this? It's just the pain you mounted on my heart. You just broke my heart. When you blamed, that it's the caste, it hurted me like hell. Answer me my love, what made you do this? I was happy being single. Then, why you disturbed my life with no reason? Then, why I got so much acquainted with you for all season? It's was so easy, that you picked up different slices of life but why Castism you did my almighty? In the bruising darkness just left with ashes of memories, lying my face down in ignorance. You broke my trust for all the life time in my way. But still you left the happy prints, as a hope of ray. It's because of you, Love forever fades away. But still left with the mementoes of yours, reminded me every day!!
Turn on the love to motivate me; There's no energy on hand. When work to be done is shadowed by rest, Remember you were saved by a crucified man.
You pick me up and fly me away; Oh my baby, what a beautiful day! Like a rock, you are strong to withstand the motion, And your love runs deep, the heart of the ocean.
Do you hear the train a'whistlin'? I wonder where she's a'goin'. Can she be boundin' toward freedom? Well, there's freedom in Jesus! And that's all we need!
And now I've lost my papers, My passport and my wife, The very essence of My identity and life. My bank account is empty, My cloths and garments sold, My skin and bones are ashes, Spread thin on the open road. My old car's broken down, No wheels to touch the floor, The motor been dismantled, Stripped clean down to the core. The bailiffs and the policemen, Have emptied my abode, The promises I made you, Have been auctioned out and sold. The love I hold within me, Is all that I now have left, The rest is bleak illusion, The bind man and the deaf. The imaginary people , I thought were my friends, Have left the scene forever, As the road of life does bend. And now I stand alone, Upon this lonely hill, I gaze upon the meanings, The years have silently killed. In the roaring storms of thunder, In the lightning in the night, In the whispering of the children, In the white doves lonely flight. In the dust of many ages, That has settled on my soul, In the ashes of my humanity, That has filled my begging bowl. The ancient breeze is blowing, Calling me to my knees, To behold the light within me, In the prison of the keys. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Send me to the darkest places; That's where I feel You strongest. A kiss and hug down the deepest alleys; Never letting go, Your love is the strongest.

Doors will open Everyone – come on in!
Now I'm just a failure Too afraid to make a mistake. I've already been there, Stuck in a route that leaves no breaks. What is Your plan for me Father? At once I thought I knew. Now I'm disillusioned; Please bring me back to You.
Listen to the buzzing, in your ears, Listen to the humming, of your fears, Listen to the baby, crying inside, Listen to the pleading, in your lover's eyes. Listen to the music, you have never played, Listen to the sinner, who's never been saved. Listen to the empty, silence of your mind, Listen to the whispers, of man kind. Listen to the never, heard nor seen, Listen to the listener, who has never been. Listen to the monkey, you know you really are, Listen to the wise man, who's never been that far. Listen to the dying, crying man, Listen to the bottle, buried in the sand. Listen to meaning, you never really meant, Listen to the letter, you never really sent. Listen to the lovers, who loved another one, Listen to the brothers, torturing their mum. Listen to the noisy, who never say a thing, Listen to the silent, crying deep within. Listen to the never, ever really said, Listen to the dead man, laying in his bed. Listen to the flying, dying man, Listen to the solid, only made of sand, Listen to the night time, they told you that was day, Listen to the meaning, they stole an took away. Listen to the singer, who never made a sound, Listen to the thunder, in the lightning cloud. Listen to the voices, you never hear within, Listen to the last train's whistle, whistling.
Dedicated to all of the guys who helped me to make the checklist - thanks! The Empty Rib Slot I think I might have A perfect checklist Highlights from men Gathered now missed Yes special highlights Each man carried some Now added to my checklist For a guy having it all in one This could be the key to find The man I'm dreaming of Not with bits and pieces One filled full of love A man made for me No it would be not I should fit perfectly Into an empty rib slot Let me share this list With every one of you Then decide for yourself If it could possibly be true My first check comes from This guy with dreamy eyes He deeply touched my soul Way more than ever realized He even had a special smile That made you want to grin No matter if life was down He encouraged me to win There was the big hugger With squeezes oh so tight He lifted me off the floor Like if I was taking flight He never did grow tired Of giving me those hugs I never had to ask for them He always did it out of love Then there was the dancer He stayed light on his feet He loved dancing with me Carrying rhythm and a beat Now of course on this list There certainly has to be That best friend I count on Who can also count on me I am even going to count The good points of quality Generated from my brothers And even from my daddy From them they all carry A very good temperament Always being so easy going Not looking for an argument When I am nestled in that slot With a perfect feel of passion All of his glory will then shine As it eludes from my reflection The most important one of all He who shares a spiritual side Being spiritually open with me Not allowing his beliefs to hide I know how this all may sound Like a crazy thing that I've got I want the man I fit snuggly with When I match his empty rib slot Florence McMillian (Flo)
The bills, the pain, the drama, the rain The storm grows larger and floods your brain With thoughts that begin to drive you insane Like, if I trust God will it all go away? What am I missing? Empathy? Faith? What will happen if I stay on this pace? Am I one of those people that God can replace? If I don't change now is it hell I face? Could we all be afraid of meeting our fate? All these years trying to find someone to relate.. Is it true you can fall victim of a time and a place? If I pray hard enough can I erase [pause] The anger, the envy, resentment and hate ? or at 25 years old could I be too late? To try and change my life to get a new slate And chills cover my arms and my heart begins to race All of a sudden I can't hear any rain Laughter replaces the fear that remained and God lets us know it will all be ok Forgive those around you and thank God for each day Think with your heart and in Gods you will stay.
I am a man Who once stood upon the top of his mountain I am a man Who had everything he could ever ask for I am a man Who held his whole world in his hands I am a man Who through his own stupidity crushed it all to dust I am a man Who has lost his daughter I am a man Who lost his dear wife I am a man Who has lost his family I am a man Who's whole world collapsed, was turned upside down, torn apart and scattered like the dust he created BUT I AM A MAN Who today stands stronger for it I am a man Who through it all started walking down the road to freedom I am a that man Who may have forgotten to wear shoes But I am that man Who with every bridge he crossed, struck a match, and watched that bridge burn to ash I am a man Who took his bull by the horns And SNAPPED THOSE ****ERS OFF!!! I am a man Who today stands stronger then any oak tree you will ever find I am a man Who has been to hell and back I created hell myself AND I HAVE SURVIVED I am a man I am a man I am a man Who is stronger for it.....
It's a crying shame In the midnight hour I stroll along this shore A silence comes on over me I've felt this thing before It's a kind of joining up with God Whatever that might be In the midnight hour so all alone with me. So early in the morning Before the dark has gone I stroll along these wetland trails My heart all filled with song I hear the birds who come alive Sing their prayers for the day In the early morn, the whole world seems okay It's a crying shame That the silence has to go Amidst the noise of the market place What happens to that glow That come when folk are not around Oh, it's a crying shame It might be that it's only me to blame. I walk amidst the market place With all the noise it makes The gossip and the judgements come It's noise for it's own sake As I try to find the silence Of the morning and the night I am searching for that source of all delight.

There's a family I know, that may seem old fashioned. But they serve others from a heart of compassion! They don't have much in the scope of entertainment. But they have each other, and much contentment. They have a love for God that comes from within! And are thankful to the Lord for being their friend! They don't get too involved with that the world brings. They have each others love. They have everything! This family has been an inspiration to others too! By their giving hearts, in much of what they do! This family has a commitment to serve God above. And have asked Jesus to fill them with his love! This may seem old fashioned, not to have a lot of things… But they know their Lord and the love that he brings! I'm thankful to know them and their Godly inspiration… I extend to them a heart of thanks and appreciation! Please dear Lord, bless and keep them in your arms! Be with them Jesus, and protect them from harm! May the blessings of God keep flowing through them! And may the peace and joy of God continue to be with them! By Jim Pemberton 05/29/13

I Want to Give God My Best! I want to give to God my very best. And let him take care of the rest! I want to give God a life of imperfection… And seek his will, whatever the direction! I want to follow the footsteps of the master… As things in life have a way of "going faster!" I want to let God know much I love him! And each day, I want to obey and trust him! I want to take the time to invite you to know him! Won't you come now? And kneel down before him? God extends to everyone a heavenly invitation! All who wants to, can accept his mercy and salvation! I want to praise him for what he's done for me! He's done all of this, because he loves me! I just want to let you know how much we need him! Won't you join me now… And believe him?

I was born with this name A name that cannot be moved. Through my struggles and through my pain These shackles I shall remove. Dignified in all my ways Eminent proven that can't be replaced. I am a true man of virtue That cannot be measured by time or space. I'm a Star of my own Reflecting the rays of my thrown. Magnificent and Majestic In the land of milk and honey, I am the backbone. Often misunderstood, Confound and misconstrued. Even in contempt of their judgement My adulation infatuation will remain intact for my brood! My love is undenying Everlasting and undying. Unreplaceable, indestructible My fable inspires that transcends to be noble. The King of my castle A fraction define from a point of a decimal Denoting in the tenth power That represents the commandments of my counsel. In translation... I'm a man unrecognized by his emotions Yet his word's expression Forms a principle which defines in connotation. My concentration Concerns to adjourn any iniquitous Interpretation. Adjudicated as if uneducated Yet their mind's unable to define the intonation of my elucidation. So therefore there's no question! That I am...A son reflected by his own creation. In his own reflection My third eye indicates the gift of this phenomenal articulation. So as my motivation My delivery will continue to build in its meticulous manifestation. A man that will man up To whom, I will claim to recognize his own dejected aberration.
Invisible walls with powerful claws, Limited chances, avoiding falls. Browse the news create the blues, Raise the spirits indulge in booze. Disco lights blinding sight, Stars above connect at night. Shallow voices destroy our dreams, Follow the road to make believe. Requesting answers feel the force, Lot of power commanding source, Open your eyes until you see, See the truth set you free.
My love intended for the girl of my dreams, she walks from side to side, not knowing that I walk alone. She is beautiful than any other thing in this simple world, everything around her shakes and trembles as she walks on by without a spare of a passing glance. The wine is drunk the last cigarette smoked, the pain of heartache gone away. It feels good to see her go my way, to take the pain with her away from me, as I sit in the wayward cafe on the river of ashes. A beautiful girl she is mine, but that course of life shall no surpass mine, and my heart beats and takes me away in hope of falling in love. Irony of love and hate, it is similar in many ways, as I sit and think of her. She angers me, but when the vail of anger falls over my eyes, the passion of love enters my mind. Come now, take me away, hold me in your beauty, and love me with your gentle body. Go into the gardens, where the nightingales sing, and sit at the patio's crossway. Watch the artists paint pictures of the garden, watch the writers write about the garden, and watch us go and pick flowers in the garden. The air smooth and wind breeze calms the nerves, the pain of my sorrowed heart is soothed, by her sweet intellegence and beauty. Her eyes, orbs of blazing sunlight, blind me with the beauty of her beauteous face, her lips and skin smooth and pure. She is glorious, My love she is the dream girl, who comes and takes my nightmares away from me. As I sit on the park benches, I light my last cigarette, and reminicse on the days with my love. I close my tired eyes only for a moment, and the moment is gone, my beauty is gone. The tears are all gone, the pain has gone, the feelings of everlasting love are all gone. Where did it all go? Where did my beauty go? Where did my love go? All gone now, all gone now, as I grow old, the feeling of death takes me by surprise. The park bench is cold, the cigarette is burnt out, I am longing for a drink. I lay in a wayward cafe drink a coffee and talk to myself discussing a book of poetry. Looking over to the right I am blinded by beauty once again this time this is no dream. Alas, my dream girl came that appeared in my sunny pleasure dome, who has walked barefoot in the gardens of my mind. She sat with me, I looked at her and we smiled together. We held hands together, and dreamed together, forever and ever. Love everlasting, everything everlasting, cigarettes smoked together. A cloud over our heads in the shape of a heart my love.
A MONK'S PRAYER God, as my creator, has vested great works. To partake on this journey, I must know that I am worthy and denounce those that state I am not. I will travel light without any burden. Iniquity is throughout the universe. Globally I trek. My wandering is to inform a greater determination, incite recognition of the Lord Almighty, and bring about worship and praise via supplication. My hope is justification. My beliefs are as all. My mind does not negate other thoughts. I am an adviser for progression in which I am evolutionary and advance in meditation. To the Lord, I give my soul. Amen User Name; Verlena Pseudonym: Oblivion Dark Sunshine Motif: Pastoral/Religious/Spiritual/Philosophical (Please read About this Poem...)

Where Will I Be Tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow? That's my question! I continue traveling on… Seeking my life's "mission." There are many roads, and journeys to go on. I'm trying to find out, where I really belong. There are many choices of what to do and see… There's both good and bad waiting for me! But, there is a God who called out my name. When I heard his voice... To him, I came! He gave me a promise! A 100% guarantee! He promised to forgive my sins, that I may be free! I will spend today and tomorrow with him! I'm going to take time, and get to know him! I'm here today! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I can trust Jesus! To take care of everything! Where will I go? I know where I will be! Spending time with my Lord! For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
YOUR ONLY FRIEND Out of the night she's called for you and raised you from a restless sleep into the life you're going through, into the life you can not keep. She's known by all, her name is Death, you see her, then you realize, she is your very final breath and you have seen it in her eyes. You look again, to clear your head but truth is truth, and now you know, your book is finished, it is read, and now it's time to go. So long you wondered who she was if she would ever be a friend, but now you see the love she does, and it is there beyond your end. She whispers all the things you've done and sings them in her song each rising star, each setting sun, it all played out, but played out wrong. And there is nothing here for you, so welcome her, she is your end, and go to where you must go to to know sweet Death, your only friend. © ron wilson aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet
What If This World Were A Better Place? What if you knew this world would be a better place? Would this bring hope and a smile on your face? What if I were to tell you that things will get better? I could give you this message, with a signed letter. What if you woke up tomorrow, with no more worries? What if you could get thru life, with no "big hurries?" I think we both know that this just isn't meant to be. There's an evil world out there. It's plain to see! We often grow up with many dreams and ambitions. This often brings out in each us many good ambitions. But we too often see the world around us fall apart. And this often leads to a broken life and heart. There is a life like no other many fail to find. It can bring true joy and a Godly peace of mind. This life is eternal, and there's few that'll find it. If you'll read God's word, his words do remind it! A life everlasting with Jesus can be yours! For sure! A place to live in heaven… Forever and secure! Won't you take the opportunity to live in a better place? And enjoy the kind of living, in God's abundant grace? The blessings of life with Jesus, are the best ones to receive! Won't you put your faith in HIM? Simply trust and believe! By Jim Pemberton 07/17/14
The stones slipped through the great fingertips of God Each ligure staked its existence on the four corners of the universe The quadrivial region began to spin and pull into a sphere And pathways revealed their footholds The fourth ligure bravely landed in the midst of history So that one day the future settlement of the second Would be moved by the last—by the past Suffering much it stayed Manifesting in incandescent words Thrusting evanescence upon the weak Selfless, it's sorrow would move the merriest Would move the unmovable The third lies in the profound valley of mystical guardians Star-recruited, they are the very light above the canvas of gray They embrace the stone—are inspired by the stone The very reflection of their creator was evident Upon their unremitting glimmers Unafraid to stare the others down Motivated and construed by the glower of death Eyes move fixedly beyond the simple vast The second ligure rested upon the shoulders of invisible martyrs The hopeful power it planted on the sufferers was unbelievable For spectators used their disbelief to cover their ever-placed envy They never were part of the battle—they merely watched Always seeing truth But they never quite absorbed Like a rock hitting the water The inevitable fate was to fly and sink The first of the ligures settled in the very reservoir of Satan himself Even the very heart of the devil is marked Though rebellion embarked The cold stone landed upon his naked bosom He despaired not to the pericopal truth the gods had bestowed upon him He merely despised it But wished not to lose it For such a stone to fall upon that dark corner—he felt pride for the gracious wound In truth, there are twelve ligures of stone And four were dispersed, dropped into the universe The last eight the great Eternal wears upon his breastplate And only He can re-move these ligures -July 20, 2013- -For Shadow Himilton's Any Subject Contest- -Thanks for the inspiration-

My brother came to me, desperate for prayer! Filled with hopelessness and despair! I reached out to him to begin to pray… But I couldn't find any words to say! The Holy Spirit began tugging at my heart within… Convicting me of holding on to a "secret sin." THIS SIN, God told me I must first let go, For this was eating at my soul! My prayer life had been such a mess! I repented! And to God… I confessed! I called out to Jesus' precious name! Inviting him into my heart to reign! On bended knees before my Lord I began to bow, My prayer was going to be answered… Somehow! The prayer request for my brother Was going to be met! For God has never failed me YET! By Jim Pemberton
The blood of Jesus still sets men free! So we can live with him… For eternity! The power of Jesus and his resurrection… Brings his presence and a holy conviction! The love of Jesus brings sweet relief! May his way of living be our belief! The glory of Jesus outshines the rest! Whatever he gives, is always the BEST! The words of Jesus give much needed direction! It sustains our lives and gives godly correction! The voice of Jesus speaks to everyone today! May we listen to what he has to say? He beckons one and all to receive his salvation! He's already called, and given the invitation! His blood can wash and cleanse every stain! You can find it all… In the power of HIS NAME! By Jim Pemberton 07/23/13
Jesus Chose Me to Follow Him! Jesus chose me to follow him! And called me to be; "a fisher of men!" He's given me his Holy Spirit, for needed assistance. He wants me to reach the lost, with a Godly persistence! Others need to know of the forgiveness he brings! They need to know that he can do anything! They can be transformed, by his resurrection power! This can happen to anyone! This very hour! Please help me dear Lord, to do my very best! I want to do my part! And let you take care of the rest! It's only in YOU, Jesus, that one can find life everlasting! It's freely given! Just for the asking! Please dear Lord... Come and direct my path. I need your mercy! And spare me from your wrath! Please guide me, by your loving and gentle hand… Help me to obey, listen, and understand! Following and trusting Jesus is the best thing I can do! To surrender my life, and daily follow YOU! By Jim Pemberton
In the shadow of the mountain, I've watched the sun go down, and the heavy weight of evening's mood, is a mirror of my own. My eyes are drawn to solitude, where the only light I see, is reflected from the crescent moon, which whispers down to me. In the shadow of the mountain, my words are wanting free. With pen in hand, I scribble down, those secret parts of me. My thoughts become like shooting stars, reflections one can't see. The secret dreams I've longed to tell, escaping eagerly. In the shadow of the mountain, I lift my pen to write. The fantasies, both dark and light, are tossed into the night. Flickering sparks, like fireflies, are the dreams I know are real, and acceptance from a crescent moon, has lightened what I feel. I strain to take a second look, as if I'm in a trance. The midnight moon, that smiles at me, has offered a new chance. With whispered songs, and moonlight's glance and amber arms to keep, my head will rest, and I'll be blessed, until I go to sleep. ______________________________________________________________
We told at a young age You can make it as long, as we get good grades If we behave; We told hard work and dedication prevails We not told what will happen if we fail A life time's Aim for Lusting for fortune and fame Just to have it, so abruptly taken away We not told have much life can strain Drain every single bit of life away Have our dreams crushed to a size of a dusty grain Have our wounds cut openly, so the world can see our bloody mistakes Emotionally and physically scared But those scars Make you the person who you are For them critics to tell you, they don't like your art Its like having a rusty dagger put through your heart Your dreams and self believe torn apart To get right back up and march On regardless of your past Gives you heart So dream bigger Don't be afraid to look at yourself in the mirror Get the courage to not be a quitter And stop yourself feeling bitter Through literature I paint them the picture I painted my own Self portrait I portrait-ed me as I see myself, a distraught face glum misfortune fate but looking back in mirror is a gorgeous face You got Self esteem problems your not being honest Don't listen to your sub conscience Fear is what kills dreams, just think positive Don't listen to these critics there talking nonsense I've taken loses I've taken being at the bottom I've promise To myself to never doubt myself by there comment In the hope one day they pay homage To the pain of my voyage... But the chilling truth critics only start hearing you the moment death is nearing you.
God knows why we really need him! He has put the enemy beneath him! He knows that without him, we shall fail! We're like the blind following life's trail! He also knows, that his son bled and died… That day on the cross, he was crucified! He knows that his son arose from the dead! He's alive now! And is our daily bread! Do you know how much God loves you? How much he wants fellowship with you? Do you even think about for just one moment.. Of Christ' love? And his blood's atonement? He did all of this with one purpose in mind. To offer his salvation to all of mankind! No matter what you may say, or think of him… It's all of us, that need him! Won't you join with me, before God, in prayer? Wherever we are… He's already there! Won't you join with me, and receive him in? To cleanse us, and take away our sin? Won't you begin today? And feel his power? You can be a new person! This very hour! By Jim Pemberton
Dawn is breaking Willie wagtail in my garden Sings a very special song Telling me the sun is coming Dawn will break soon, won't be long It's dark outside with full moon shining But soon the light will show its face Green parrot makes his bell like music How his song has so much grace Kookaburra, he is laughing Something funny has touched him Could he be laughing at us human's With all our wars and crazy din? Spring is just around the corner And all of nature seems to know As I sit here in the morning My world it has a special glow. Now the world has gone all silent Waiting for the dawn to break Soon the chorus is beginning Singing just for loves own sake All the birds will join the chorus And my heart will start to sing How I love these life soaked mornings Such joy to me they always bring. 25 August 2013 @ 0631hrs.
There are proud people "coming out!" Yet, they have no idea what real life is about! Many brag about a lifestyle that's revealing. Yet have lost God's purpose and meaning! I'm coming out for Jesus! I've nothing to hide! I've asked him to take away my sin and pride! Of my own accomplishments... I've nothing to boast! But I'm proud of God the father, son and holy ghost! Whatever pride we have… We've all sinned! Jesus told us; "you must be born again!" Nothing that I've done is worth "bragging of." Rather, I've done things that I'm ashamed of! But God reached down to where I was standing! And filled my life with his peace and understanding! The more I have of Jesus, the less I need of me! His power alone is what can truly set me free! I'm coming out for Jesus! The redeemer of my soul! I'm going to shout it! So the whole world may know! I'm not ashamed of Jesus! I am NOT! By his mercy… My sins have been blood bought! For each step you take to God… He takes two! Won't you allow him to do his work through YOU? A life of righteousness and holiness is what God is asking! Come now! And receive HIS life! It's everlasting! By Jim Pemberton
Show me who you are and i shall paint out broken columns on the valleys of her back as if such figure is un-common i have found no beauty bending as the vines that are her hair and the frailty of man upon her back is what she bares bleed her body for the harvest let them feast upon her soul for the nurishment of mother is leaps beyond so bold she is like the flower growing in the deepest of dark forests,amongst the ivy and hemlock but her skin is much too porous to concern herself with games that tantalize the men, as they marry on crusade it is her children that she tends sheath your swords with her ambition and tip your arrows with her will, craft your armour from her strength and in the battle you will kill come now children from the pasture and lay each upon her side, suckle gently at your mother although theirs pain she does not hide though the water leaks from rooftops her leaves are thick and block the rain, as the water level rises cling to her branches with no shame she is the stone upon the beach, once a mountain pound and breached yet still her disposition clear to love her children that are near inspired by Roots Frida Kahlo, 1907-1954
She woke up everyday to the beckoning of death's toll. But decided to embrace life, pulling herself from the darkened hole. With a new brightness in her eyes, she lived life as partially buried gold. Never afraid of the darkness, or what the future may hold. Shimmering beneath the dirt, her beauty shall now unfold. True legacy lies hidden to reign, for a prodigy has risen from bitter cold. One example of grace goes far, farther then any story ever told. With strength that comes from deep within, that's been held from days of old. Among the majority she lived, witnessing atrocities flare. From her soul she would always give, though no one seemed to care. As the bells of sadness began to ring, she would rise above the gloom. Out of darkness and despair she would sing, with a melody that filled the room. The tears that had fallen proved as strength, to her ever-impending light. Onward traveling to any length, for what she believed was right. When darkened paths shimmer, despite the pangs of apathy, through life she will always glimmer, no matter what the tragedy. -Collab with Dan Kearley! You're the best, Dan!
Poem: Will You Travel With Me To Heaven? When you wake up in the morning From a dream you think is okay You see your spouse and family Get ready for another day The dream you saw, the things you see The bed on which you soundly sleep Your kids all grown up, your husband And old memories that you keep Who do you think created them? Were they created from nothing? If there is no god who made these All, then what's the point of living? D'you think we were made from nothing Then from nothing we live for fun To eat and drink, to love and hate Then when we die, what comes is none? The eyes with which your body sees Those sockets that keep your eyeballs The mouth you use for food and speech The way you answer random calls The languages you use to speak And another –your mother tongue- The way you carry yourself, and How you breathe through your heart and lungs The muscles that stretch when you smile Your friends who often make you laugh The words you try to understand And how you sign your name so fast Your kids who once stayed in your womb The months you carried them in you Your feelings when you saw their first Walk and when they smile back at you The food you eat and cook each day The rainfalls that fall from above The earth you walk on each night and Day, and the things you've learned to love The blood that flows 'neath your skin each Hour, the foods you eat, sweet and sour The clouds you see above your head The scent of various plants and flowers The many colors of people You see, and many sounds you hear All things in this universe make You think that a God must be near A God who is not in this world But because of Lordship –Above- Above the skies and on His Throne Above anything you can think of A God who is the Most Powerful A God who does not eat or sleep A God who is Above all things A God who does not sweep the streets A God who sees us all the time A God who knows our hidden thoughts A God who hears us all the time A God who gives us lots and lots A God who made this universe A God who is the King of all A God who knows the good and bad A God who causes rain to fall A God who made all kinds of colors A God who rotates day and night A God who knows all languages A God who gave the moon its light A God who knows the past and present A God who sees the future of all A God who gave all kinds of sounds A God who gave all forms –short and tall --->PART TWO
Today in New York's harbor I saw a majestic lady With her torch raised for all to see The millions who've seen her Know she stands for Not what is but what can be Passed Ellis Island on a dreamer's ferry When an old friend walked up to me A heart's hope question Life's in the daring Climb the mountain Live to be free People lost and hiding Energy spent disguising Seemingly progressing But it's just fantasy Existing not living Longing but not loving But it can all change That's my hope That's my heart That's my.. Statue of Liberty! *For Isaiah's "Patriotic Poem" Contest
If one is compelled to stay longer, If one's senses are assailed, If one is driven to suppose its motivation, If one is urged to seek detail, If the palette makes its statements, If each stroke helps one define, If the subject can be seen anew, If one seeks to know the artist's mind, If one sees therein a beauty, If one somehow identifies, If one feels their heart is touched, If one is thankful for their eyes, If one is moved to remember, If one can see it in one's mind, If one is pushed to revisit, If one seeks out more in kind, If the painting is acclaimed or If it's "art" to only one; Then it's a perfect painting, And its work is done.
I Have A Brother That Needs Prayer! I have a brother that really needs prayer! When it comes to God, he doesn't care! He's living a life by his own set of rules. And thinks Christians are a bunch of "fools." The only thing that seems important to him… Are the things in life that are close to him. Wandering down a path that he chooses… The one he's chosen… It's him that looses! Please, dear Jesus, keep him in your care! Wherever he goes… I know you are there! You are the one that my brother needs to come to! No matter the false "dreams" he may run into! Please dear Lord… Protect from all harm! May he seek the strength of your loving arms! May your voice beckon the master's call! He really does need YOU after all! By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Extends A Heavenly Invitation! Christ has made a way to heaven! You can be with him! He's done all of this... So that you can know him! He died on a cross. A sacrifice has already been paid. A way for you to be in heaven has been made! The blood of Jesus is the ticket for a heavenly ride! With Christ as the conductor, you're on the winning side! He is the only way there is! On a heavenly route! It's only through his salvation! This is what it's about! Please come now! Won't you accept the Lord's invitation? You can, at this moment, have a Holy Spirit visitation! Time is running out! Make your time well spent. This is the time to come before Jesus and repent! Your life, for his, is the best trade you'll ever do! You can be changed, and have your life renewed! You're trip to heaven can begin this very day! Jesus has left his instructions. Simply trust and obey! An abundant life with Jesus can certainly begin. By having a relationship and serving him! A new life in heaven is available for you and me! We can be with Christ! For all eternity! By Jim Pemberton 08/08/14
Dedicated to my darling Mystic Rose... For my everlasting rose, for my darling Mystic Rose, Charished deep in my heart, for generations to last lifetimes, on this Beautiful gift, we all call Mother Earth. Oh now my dear come now and do not fear, I shall take you by your sweet and loving hand, as we set out in a band, of two lonely hearts that both need to be loved. At first when I came to this desolate Wasteland; I was a lonely heart with poetry that was my art. You were the first to come to me, with a smile and a hug. You read my work, I won your heart and you praised me, looked at me in anew and treated me diffrently than any other. My darling Mystic, Oh how you make me feel; so grand, so new, so happy. As I lay my head to rest I reminisce on your loving words, that spoke such truth to my soul. As you praised me through my heights, and weaped with me through my sorrow, as I uplifted your soul with the arrangement of words I wrote from deep down in my weak and weary soul; You were there always to touch my heart and cure me of sorrowed tears. It is impossible to express my love for you, but see me, to feel my love, for you my darling Mystic it tears me apart to not see your face, to hear your voice, only to read your loving words comments on a poem that was written on a page; It tears me apart. Oh, my sweet and everlasting rose, Blooming in every season, at every hour, a beautiful poetess at her midst of an evening twilight as the nightingales sing outside your window, I come and show you love and compassion. Let us go, you and I, I take you by your hand and we sail off, two poets writing of beauty both in ink upon a blank piece of paper. To write of love, My compassion for you my beautiful rose, my darlin Mystic. We shall part seas, bloom in gardens of beauty, roses and violets grow tall around us, reminding us of our everlasting friendship. Lilacs and tulups stray long away, to show my love to a stranger, but you are no stranger to me. You are an everlasting rose, which blooms evertime at the stroke of nine, and there you stay, growing in a large and beautiful garden, that is located deep in my heart. Now take me, my darling Mystic your LoveSlayer, and charish this beautiful write Charish it at all times, every hour of the days! In honour of your beauty and inspiration I am a fool in love, intoxicated with your beauty at heart.
All we need is meditation so don't go calling for no medication The truth has been waiting for resurrection so do it some justice and pay attention The time has come to for our true self projection so make sure you hold on, cause the ride will get bumpy and cause for some - ejection as long as there is no self rejection we will all find our selves in the right direction for our unique soul prescription so be strong and roar roar your loudest roar make them wonder whats new in the air and then you quietly say oh nothing my dears just a soul awakening over here
High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I see a black and white checkered kite… floating higher and higher than I, myself… But, I was shoved Into another shelf… High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, 2 birds were flying together in harmony… it made me smile If only…I could fly another mile… If only…I could higher my smile… If only…I could fly higher If only…I could taste ecstasy… people would accuse me as a liar If I experienced the best day of my life… But, I don't wanna live with undying strife… I want peace… Hand it over, please… Hand me the keys So I could experience perpetual peace I took flight like those bird couples… But, I was on an airplane… High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I wouldn't be greedy for gain… I'm trying to act sane… But, I'm actually insane In many ways…I love my uniqueness… And my stubbornness… and my gladness… And my madness… my imagination goes wild But, I need to put it on a leash…so I could remain mild High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I'd feel the rain Trickle down my hands…my wet, wrinkly hands High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, No one would understand How awesome and wonderful I've felt that day… Up there… up there…I felt like a king… But, now I lost that memory…I lost my ring To success…but I'm willing to pick up my progress… My pace…is slow like a snail's pace Do you see me crying? Just look at my face… High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I'm the clouds absorbing tears High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I'd be willing to release them… but they've been stored up forever it seems And…hell – I have been Shaking with fear… Breaking by the seams High…way up high in the aqua blue sky, I was…….. Daydreaming again… My mind was stuck on cloud 7… Thank heavens That I'm still alive – staring into space Just look at my sopping face… I see no grace…I see only a pathetic face In the mirror……. This little dream of mine Was rather sublime I was a sweet boy, but now I'm sour like lime If I were a bird, I'd fly away from my problems... I'll flutter away Without a care in the world... I want to be happy-go-lucky... But, I'm bound to submit to my Misery.............................
I Was In A Place Where I Didn't Belong! I was in a place where I knew I didn't belong! God's spirit was there… But the flesh was strong! I felt alluring voices almost "overwhelm me." There were so many temptations that surrounded me! I could feel the pull! The tugging of my heart! I knew this was going to happen! From the start! As I began to feel many voices, pulling my spirit. I wanted to run, but could not seem to do it! In one moment of hopelessness, to Jesus I cried! I couldn't run from this! No matter how hard I tried! Just when I thought that there was not a way out! I remember what some of the Bible was about! I knew that if I cried to Jesus, he'd be there to help me! No matter the temptation! And how it tries to "trip" me! Before I was going to do something, I shouldn't do… I heard God's voice say; "My son, I'm here to help you!" I felt the hand of God, reach down and touch my soul! I knew that God was there, and it was time for me to go! I jumped up and out of there, as fast as I could run! Any "excitement" was gone. I was not having "fun!" Whatever temptation I gave up, was worth avoiding! A life with Jesus and family is what I'm enjoying! Thank you my Lord! For your patience and kindness! You've filled my life with your love and brightness!09/04/13

God could have made us cookie cutter where everyone looked the same If cloths and food had to be identical how horribly boring, how sadly plain Society tries so hard to program us everybody look and act the same Maybe I am just a rebel boy But cloning the culture feels insane God made us all to be one of a kind totally unique from all the rest Diversity should be celebrated It's from our difference we get the best So I will take that road less traveled behind the locked door I want to see I know looking back I did it my way My spirit man was made to be free Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Contest: "I Did It My Way" Date: 6-14-14
Festered lament maddens me Why must the despair of my heart's desire Truly enlighten me? I rested among the sick and lame And found myself no different from the rest For a troubled mind holds endless poverty Penniless regret marks as a sickness no doctor can prescribe For the bottles of balm are empty And medicinal hope grows angry I derived my madness from creativity Revealing the remains of my humanity 'Cool off, child', I heard a soft voice whisper But can't you see I live off the flame? It asks for no nickel or dime! But it seeks to destroy all the same The small voice returns at times And often my heart listens But we all listen And only believe in the inevitability of pain I speak of the majority Not of you For you are blessed and beyond disgrace You have a life—a beautiful face And most of all, you are rich With attributes I can only dream of You are rich with life and purpose Holding inscrutabilities I can only wish to understand You lift me without touch or care Disposing me from your treasures Because though you meant no harm, You are rich with blessing And must remove all possible threats So my festered lament Remains an enlightenment I can say I am rich in poverty But you are forever rich In Mystery What hurts the most is knowing I may be wrong about you For you are so obscure in this mind And as empty as I am I wish to be filled In your richness But we all are filled to the brim in the end And sometimes I cannot distinguish the good from the bad There is nothing I wish to discard So I hoard in constant deficiency and despair And I hoard the idea that you are beyond compare That you are rich And always will be richer Than me—or he
What lies beneath The flooding drains A spiders web Spawned of rustic chains If you ask me how I am I'll reply that I'm ok Hiding behind this mask As I resume to face this day Then theres the sights A synonym of what I cannot find in you But I have found Sometimes hunger is the only kind of food Have I lost my Faith? Its something that I could never see Then theres your eyes Still falling away from me But if I was a better man Would your rivers run deep into outer space While all along your insisting That we are both two worlds away Behold this longer list of denials And uncertain hope Reflecting fears of affection And you still keep your eyes closed Then by my own admissions My heart has grown from cold to colder And by my own submissions Losing your love has bled me sober
A mustard seed Our savior told a story In his usual way He tried to make folk understand As he did on many a day. He said with voice all soft and calm "What be it like? God's heaven What story can I use today How can I tell you then?" "It be like what happens then When a mustard seed Is planted there beneath the soil It be so small indeed "And yet" he said "once it be planted So large the tree does grow And spreads its branches all around Gives shade where birds can go" Our Lord, he used these stories When he did talk to folk And all that then could understand They gained from words he spoke He told folk naught without these stories Yet to his twelve disciples He explained then everything To them he told it all. 2005
7,100 islands, you are made up.. Pearl of the orient seas, that's how you are.. Cradle of four civilization, historians says.. Only Christian nation, even they speak.. Abounded with vast green forests.. Surrounded by shallow to deep trenches... Choose wether to white and black sands of beaches.. Each island is an enticement... Every province has it's own native delicacy... Each one is known for its festival felicity.. Poor as it may seem yet great in hospitality.. Enabling each tourist to feel welcome in grandiosity... Look around, you will see a smile.. Scattered genuine friendship in mile.. Wether you are black, white or yellow skin.. They don't care as long as you're clean... Clever and intelligent... Creative and truly magnificent.. Small probably by height.. Yet, if known you'll be full in sight.. God fearing - spirited by nature.. Responsible enough for the future.. Families implants love to nurture.. Obviously seen in each Filipino creature... By: olive_eloi 26/09/2013 10:29am
Life and its constant state With a world trying to survive on passion and love Some try to force other to believe it is fueled by hate. What a misconception, A twisted mind in an unfortunate state. Having the choice of ignorance could be peaceful; A way to cope. Yet the knowledge of the truth in experiments, Mistakes and living life will bring you wisdom. No you cant learn the answer to everything And likely never will. That is what makes so many things in life as beautiful as they are, A little bit of mystery leaves the mind to wander off into its own And truly attempt to make the best of it. March 2013
I recite your name in the whispers of the wind for bonded to my heart are you until the end I lifted the chalice drank deeply of its wine I felt of its effects the fullness of divine Like the chords of piano and dulcimers delight your melodies do waft through every thought at night a master plays the chords a violin with strings plays my heart like a harp whose music on it rings Your fingers play me like the stroke of piano keys every touch I enjoy your heart it aims to please you are a symphony whose chords have touched my heart a birth cries transmission of transformation every part Songs like an aria may yet I learn to sing whose vocals resonate the inmost of my being You left no line untouched no strand is mine alone made sure you did I knew would make you me your own Somewhere I lost myself I gave it all to you things I don't understand reasons appear askew I inhale you my breathe to deepest parts within need you to embrace me as close as your own skin We retire together speak 'neath the baleful skies of every trial in life and those who live in lies greet me in the morning curl around me at night sing to me of love songs of futures very bright The wedding of my heart tears away my mind I want to forever hold you for all of time Are not your words a bath that removes the worlds dirt a balm of medicine to heal the deepest hurt Its surpassing sweetness a palate of good taste love so intoxicating no drop will go to waste the adversary's here and tramples the flowers but you oh my beloved too freely roam my hours My life is but a breath an instrument of song music tells the stories of lives and right and wrong The scent of yesterdays the pathways of the past forward now the future into the everlast Proverbs 16 24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Trust In Destiny Do your best then trust in destiny, It's the only valid thing that you can do. Cause there ain't no use in worrying, It's a fact I'm telling you. It wears you down and makes you sad, Or boils your blood and gets you mad No worry's not the proper thing to do. You found a lump or your children get ill Or you're out of dosh and cannot pay your bills, Or death has shadowed your poor life Or you think someone may steal your wife, Your kids are causing too much strife, It'll all work out when the time is rife It will work out I'm telling you. So throw them, Ditch the bloody lot, And look right now at what you have got, For worry causes love to die and rot It does, it does I'm telling you. So watch the Sun come up every day, In nature everything's is just okay. The Earth keeps turning steadily, And the birds still sing in ecstasy, And deep within your soul you're free, And it all depends on destiny No matter what you try to do.
I'm a mess. I've ruined this body You've designed; I've ruined this heart You've shined; I've ruined this breath You've shared; I've ruined this life You've cared. I've demolished this freedom You've given, Yet You give it to me again. Time and time around I have failed You; Weak and falling trying to please You. Earning I cannot for this is a gift from You. Please forgive me; Please save me: You've picked me up and brushed me off; Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me. I have fallen once again. I'm a mess, But You forgive me. You save me Time and time around, Eternally, You brush me off and pick me up. Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me.
The blank canvas lies before me, as I pondered how to begin. What should I start with? Start with drawing a picture, perhaps add some color to the borders? The more my mind wondered, it makes it hard to describe how to create a masterpiece that represents my well-being. Fear eludes my judgement, judgement eludes my fear. Will I love or despise it? What will others think? The canvas of my heart Stares me right in the eyes, Looking deep within my soul Spoke softly to me as she said, "Just let it come and leave fear behind." I slowly picked up my paintbrush, Dipped it in one of the buckets Then I began to stroke against the canvas Waves of blue appeared like ocean waves. When I finished with the waves, I continued forth with another color My mind focused on the canvas While my hand continued to move, as more colors appeared before me. Before I knew it I stared at the canvas No longer white as snow It was full of beauty. The calm ocean Bright sun above Clear blue sky Whimsical clouds shift. The beauty of the land That nestled at the end With a kingdom resting within Where lovely flora surround it so. Canvas once blank Now full of life Beauty and grace The art of one's soul That came from within.
Am I Really Happy? With everything I've acquired and got... What kind of happiness has it brought? With everything I have or can name... Has it given me joy or brought me shame? With all that this world can give me… What kind of life "lies beneath me?" With all of my possessions and wealth… Do I have contentment and "true" wealth? I want it to be known and wish to express… I'm not so sure, I'm what you would call "blessed." There's something I know to be certain. Tomorrow could be life's "final curtain." There's something that's been on my mind. Have I given God just some of "my" time? There's one thing I'm going to do… And do it now! I'm going to come to the Lord and humbly bow. This is something I need to say and do... Give it all to God! And tell him; "I LOVE YOU!" Something that I should have done already... When Christ comes again… I want to be ready! God's joy and happiness is true and very real! The presence of God.., I can already feel! What God has given to me, no one can take away! For he comforts me and is with me every day! By Jim Pemberton
The tides roll in; I do not see them, As the fog breathes in, obscuring the sun, Just a moment ago, you were here beside me, But the fog stole in, and now you're gone. In the daylight, we were so very bright, As diamonds sparkling in the sands of time, Two pearls together in a single shell, We left to see what lay beyond. And somewhere upon our newfound shores, We let our eyes wonder for a moment's glimpse, To see if what we shared was true, And ignored that fog growing ever dense. Yet sometimes the fog is what we need, To teach us how to walk alone, So when our daylight comes breaking through, It's not the WHERE, for which we care... But for the WHO is our true home. So meet me down on the shores of time, My darling, when the daybreak springs, Lay your soft head on my wearied chest... Let the tides roll in and do the rest... They'll sweep us back into forever, That together, forever we shall never loose, Except again, when a fog rolls in... And the home we are, is the one we choose.

The God That I DO Believe In! There's a God that I really DO believe in! I knew this the moment I received him! This is the God whom I hold special and dear! He's always with me! Always near!

I Write I Write I Choose to Write Because in writing I can share feelings never felt In writing I can live dreams dreamt In writing I express emotions felt and feared I can feel high, no need for weed Just sincere expressions only expressed through my thought to my fingertips For every pain U caused me, I just choose to write Because in writing, I release my uncontrollable anger And offend no one, just a pad, a keypad, my keyboard and my touch screen I Wrote I wrote of my victories and failures Wrote about those sweet times The bitter sweet The ugly Ups and Down Rejections Appreciations Heartbreaks Breakthroughs I wrote in an attempt to fix the wrong Even though I have never been right So for all these moments I kept writing And I wrote And narrowed my pain to none Just a Pad, a keypad, my keyboard and my touch screen I have Written And for all those moments I wrote I built a virtual relationship with myself In writing , I shared my pain Celebrated my gains The Rise and fall And how I kept rising after every fall All this I shared With none but myself I have written Because I wrote And I would write Because, I just choose to Write.....
I am who I am not because you think I am. I am who I am because you say I am. Your words do not define me, it only motivates me to be different. There was a time your actions would infuriate me, suddenly my actions is all you see. I will do what I must than to be a burden, for people are nice to your face and devious behind curtain. If I am silent then I have nothing to say, I've learned well the formula for trouble also how to detect when discussions go astray. I will share with world though some things I hide, like why am I the Black sheep, Z' Traveler and why I hold them with pride. My memories are misery it's almost a strain, My past lets me forget nothing especially the pain. If I am not too forthcoming then you need a new plan, for skeptic and distant is definitely my intention. There are times I think that I am the only one but the years made me strong and I say thanks to you, for it is you who made me who I am.
February 02, 2014 Star-Bound As I lay me down to nourish my sleep, I am Star-bound with my heavenly light. I can touch one then two come into sight. I search midnight skies for a Star I keep. I pray Thee Lord my Soul to seek! I pray Thee Lord my great Sunlight! I pray Thee Lord my only Moonlight. I pray Thee Lord my Grace I speak! It's just so bountiful, Down to Earth Justice! So, So, So, plentiful! I just can't scratch a surface! Star-Bound I am stuck in this traffic jam! Star-Bound I am just as I truly, truly am! © Copyright: 2014 Ann Rich
who can tell a person is wrong or right? day-to-day each one is a hired soldier.. fighting in their own battlefield.. not to kill a criminal or a terrorist.. rather a person striving for better life.. who can definitely say one's reason for living? allow me to say that each one is struggling so.. one reason maybe is to earn a living.. one reason maybe is to gain power.. or this maybe one reason to share God's love... who can tell hundred percent that such person can do harm? isn't it, only by giving into chances that you can know one person..? isn't it, through God's eyes we are all equal despite who we are here on earth..? isn't it , through genuine acceptance that divisions and differences are broken? isn't it reaching out is fine but alright? sad to say that persons judge without knowing.. sad to say persons can conclude without even investigating.. sad to say, persons who are educated will look at others just by their race.. sad to say, persons outcast and demeans another person because of looks.. hired soldiers we maybe everyday.. true to say, we must on guard to others.. we must be vigilant to stay protected.. we must use all resources in us to keep living.. however, must we be hired soldiers to condemn and persecute innocence? by: olive_eloi 19/10/2013 2:12pm

Have you thought about what friendship is? Is it someone who loves and forgives? I'm sure many people have a different meaning! There's many directions to be leaning. Friendship comes in different forms and kinds. It develops a kinship among hearts and minds! I'm sure that many want to be a friend to another. But there is one, who sticks closer than a brother! This one is the very best friend, that I can speak of! He brings the best friendship, that I can think of! He brings to friendship a new purpose and desire… To bring eternal love! And lift you up higher! He is the very definition of what a friend should be! He'll be your best friend now! And for eternity! His name is Jesus! I encourage you to invite him in! Won't you allow him to be your savior and friend? His faithfulness and commitment are 100% true! He'll always be there for me, and for YOU! Friendship with Jesus, is fellowship divine! He'll never let you down! Not a single time! Friendship with Jesus… Without a doubt! He is what being a true friend is all about! By Jim Pemberton
I re-dedicate this poem to my sweet friend, Stephen Pettye, who is full of power and strength as he travels this lifetime in a number one status to reach the goals of his full inner growth. This poem is to help clear his path along the way: Take those piled up worries And let your troubles go They always go back and forth In our minds to and fro On a clear day With no clouds in the sky Cast you worries away Leaving no questions to ask why Giving more time to count blessings And be thankful for what you've got It feels so gloriously wonderful To truly and completely worry not Just clear your mind Away from all thought And enjoy the great feelings That fill the space you've caught There are messages to read When the clouds are out That's when we're given Something to think about On a clear cloud free day Leave all worries behind Well that's what I do To clear my mind Yes, it feels good To be worry free And to leave it all With the one Almighty So when the sky is clear I will always worry not And thank our dear Lord For all the blessings I've got Florence McMillian (Flo)
God Told Me That I Need Effective Prayer! God told me, in order for my prayer to be effective. That I should not choose to be so "selective." I asked him: "what do you mean by this question?" I wasn't quite prepared for the reception! God said; "You've chosen to be selective in how you live." "There's only so much, to me, that you want to give!" "You said that I'm your Lord, by your way of living." "But a life of holiness, is what you're not giving." "You want the prayer answered, but have nothing to show for it." "You claim to accept my grace, but aren't willing to share it." "How can I answer your prayer, when it's only convenient?" "Haven't I been patient with you?" "And most lenient?" "Give up all that you have, and give it to the poor!" "Then you'll know what prayer life is really meant for!" "Give me your heart!" "And take time to really listen!" "There's so much more of me, that you've been missin'!" "Obey my words and experience the life I have given!" "Know what it means to be cleansed and forgiven!" "Than your life will change, and your prayer time too!" "I will give you the strength to make it through!" "You will know what it means to spend time with me!" "And your prayers will impact you for eternity!" By Jim Pemberton 10/21/13
What God Has Done! As I look back on what God as done… There have been battles lost and won! I think about the many times I've been defeated. At times, I feel like my life isn't completed! There's been times I didn't feel like I belonged. And times when I feel like I've been wronged! In these times of uncertainty and hesitation… I encountered a visit! A heavenly visitation! I received a message from God above… A message of peace, hope, joy and love! The message was powerful and very clear. I needn't be afraid! God is always near! Jesus has done many wonderful things! There's so much to life, that he wants to bring! I've opened up my heart and invited him in! I have a new hope and security within! What God has done, has been incredible for me! An opportunity to be with him, for eternity! Thanks be to God for his awesome power displayed! Salvation through Christ, has already been made! Thanks be to Jesus! All glory and honor is due! I now know how much I really do need YOU! By Jim Pemberton 10/14/13
Can't you hear the peoples cries? But, wait. Does it even matter to us? If we aren't the ones in distress? Do we take the time to ask? Or is that too much of a task? Would we make a difference, If we didn't worry about convenience And took time to comfort them? Not to condemn But to listen Because it's time to take action Their hearts are crying out They're screaming out For ?love, for attention They think they are done With life, with everything But this is just the beginning I'm done standing on the sidelines Because there is a deadline I don't want to be too late We need to spread love into the hate It's time to start Speak to their hearts Join me in this mission It's time for you to listen Because we're not done We need to help someone Open your ears, and open your eyes Can't you hear their cries?
Sometimes there is silence, Sometimes there are words, Sometimes there is meaning, Sometimes it's absurd. Sometimes you are near me, Sometimes you are far, Sometimes there is darkness, Sometimes guided by a star. Sometimes we are up and Sometimes we are down, Sometimes we are slaves, That wear a holy crown. Sometimes we are arrogant, Sometimes we are proud, Sometimes we are someone, Lost in the faceless crowd. Sometimes we are rich and Sometimes we are poor, Sometimes we are angels, Scratching at the door. Sometimes I'm living and Sometimes I am dead, Sometimes there is no thoughts Turning in my head. Sometimes looking forwards, Sometimes looking back, The circle still unbroken, The train still on the track. Sometimes we are caught and Sometimes we are free, But we always come back praying, Under this olive tree. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com

"Resting" It is as if the world stood still A moment froze in time No sound of water rippling through a stream For peace possess my mind I lay alone, my time to rest A cloud beneath my head My thoughts my dreams Of pleasant things My life is at its best It is as if the world stood still Of a time only I could know As I have laid in a bed of peace Like sand upon the shore Escape the scorns of worldly test My eyes are gently closed As the scent of roses fills the air My worries are no more………I rest

Who are what can fill your life's "empty void?" In spite of the many things that you have "enjoyed." Drugs… Sex… Money… Are you concerned? Has your life been one that's taken "the wrong turn?" There's many choices to make. I'm fooling you not! But there's a godly principle that must be taught! The void we have. Only the presence of God can fulfill! Bringing you true love, is God's purpose and will! Won't you take a moment with the king of kings? And allow him to take control of everything? Jesus will never disappointed you! Not now or ever! He wants to be your friend! Today and forever! The God of this world and universe, wants to come in! A Brand new way of living… Is waiting to BEGIN! By Jim Pemberton
What Do We Expect, As We Seek to Remove God? As so many people are seeking God's removal… It's like anything from him, we've given a refusal! Many have tried to ban just the reading of his word! There's so much truth, just waiting to be heard! Many anti-God societies have quickly formed! Even the ten commandments, are often scorned! We've built large cities, many schools, and homes! But when it comes to God, we've often left him alone! One can try their best to push God back in the corner! But if you do, things in your life will get "warmer!" The pleasures and truth you seek, will come to an end! And then eternity without God, will just begin! You'll wish you chose to live for God, that eventful day! You'll wish that you took the time to study and pray! It's the word of God that you need to study and read! God knows all about you! And knows your needs! He deserves all of your praise and full attention! We need to seek him, for much needed direction! Please come dear Lord, and cleanse us within! May we humbly confess our faults and sins! We need YOU much more, than words can say! Please be the God we serve! May we start TODAY! By Jim Pemberton
The soul is where the mind doth dwell, it's never in limbo - Your soul is filled and never void. So think of life abundantly; "may i enjoy you today" So that you may live life rich and full, Think of what good you can do for self And be not dull.. Think of good health. "may i enjoy you today" For frogs will croak and crickets will chirp with the birds. Your soul is wherever your mind doth dwell ; All good, or all bad. All in or All out. "may I enjoy your company today" Think of water when thirsty-Think of sheabutter When your gears need oiling.Life is a living well - Draw from your wealth of friends. "hope you enjoy my presence today" Think of living life well, rebuke those Who try to make it a living hell. Practice your gift And do it well. Think of where you want your soul to dwell "may I laugh with you today" Speak gratuitously of life:Leave croaking to the frogs. Allow Birds and crickets to their jobs. Think of life fondly. As death will speak for itself ! "may we celebrate life today" Death is not a consequence,it is inevitable... So let not your heart be consumed of it Be about the business of thinking life better And living each day as it comes Did we create fond memories today ? © Vicki Acquah. All rights reserved, -
I Noticed; "Jesus Loves You," Above Your Door! I noticed a sign, "Jesus Loves You," above your front door. I want to know about him! I want to know more! Could you tell me without any hesitation... About Jesus and his plan of salvation? Could you tell me about being born again? And share with me how much you love him? What is it like to become a Christian? And to serve Christ, As a daily mission? I want to know how God has changed you! I don't really know whom else to turn to. Are you one that I can really depend? I assume that Jesus is your best friend? Please listen to what I have to say... And spend some of your time with me today!. By Jim Pemberton
no more adding insults to the injuries; for now is the time of healing, no greater comfort than under wings. no more sacrifices; for by His stripes, we are new in every morning, rejuvenated and healed with new mercies, not just physically but spiritually, too. time to trade your sorrow to joy; cause there's relief in every new mourning, shelter in every storm, solutions in every weaknesses. answers born in every convictions and goals; that through trials and sufferings, He has greater plans for His glory.
I remember the first time I and my wife first met. The beauty in her... I'll never forget! I won't forget the day and the place. I'll never forget the look on her face. The feeling I had was hard to describe. I knew she was going to be my bride! I'm thankful to Jesus for bringing us together. Binding us as one... Both now and forever! Twenty years have passed... since our wedding day. She's still my beautiful wife! I'm proud to say! Thanks be to God, for making us one. I pray for his blessings upon our daughters and sons. May God be the unifying love in all that we do. May we never forget the meaning of... "I love YOU!" Each day I look at her... what do I see? This wonderful wife God has brought to me! I'm thankful and honored to have her as my wife. She's been such a blessing... A great part of my life! By Jim Pemberton
I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!" I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it." Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it." It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation. He said what he wanted to, with no explanation! I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes! What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise. He turned to drugs and encountered addictions. With this brought much disease and afflictions! He gave up on the wonderful family that was given. And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'! I told him about a God who loves him very deeply. As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary. I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power! It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour! The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body! He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody! The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away! For the son of the living God, changed him this day! The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection… Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction! He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement! And is a different person now, because of that moment! This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU! Through the problems of life… He will see you through! By Jim Pemberton
I felt worn out... discouraged and defeated. Nothing in my life right seemed to be completed. I felt alone, knocked down and betrayed! I never thought I'd feel this scared and afraid. In this very dark time, where would I run? Where would any help actually come from? I felt utterly worthless and quite alone... With each passing day, in this place I called "home." As I got up, each morning and opened the bedroom door. And wondered if anyone cared about me anymore? I felt a "tug" on my shoulder and looked around. And noticed a bright light, shining toward the ground. "I love you my son." Where the words I heard. Excitement and hope within my heart was stirred. I looked up and couldn't began to explain. The love I felt when I called on Jesus' name! From my ceiling, I saw what looked like an angelic being. He said, "I am God! " I can do anything!" He reached down and gently picked me up out of bed. Words of mercy and hope where what he had said. "I am here so that you may rise up and live." "All of your failures and sins I will forgive." Everything inside of me... God did understand! With him here... I knew victory was at hand! This particular day, this was certain. He took away my sins and heavy burdens! Look at me now and it's so plain to see! He can do for YOU, what he's done for ME! By Jim Pemberton
I May Change, But Jesus Remains the Same! Jesus remains the same! Even when I'm burdened! He loves you and me! This is most certain! He's the same yesterday, today and the future! Because of him, my life is a "bright picture!" He's committed to do what he's promised to do! It was he, that bled and died, for me and YOU! He remains the same! No matter how many fail me! How many have let you down? Can you tell me? I'm so thankful for his blessings that come my way! Words of encourage and hope, are what he has to say! He's the lover and redeemer, of my weary soul! He cleansed my sins! And made me whole! I'm so thankful for him! And all that he does! He reigns with God the father, in heaven above! Glory to Jesus in the highest! Peace toward all men! He will always be the same! Hallelujah and AMEN! By Jim Pemberton
I Remember When I Took Time to Pray! Our family would gather for dinner each day. Our dad would first take the time to pray! As kids, we thought it was important to do! I remember praying over my food in school! I was taught that we should give God thanksgiving! And be grateful for how he blessed our way of living! I remembered praying in the restaurants for the food. We wanted to honor God! And not be rude! But as the many years have come and went… I think about where my time is now spent. Prayer doesn't seem like it used to be! I often try not to let this really bother me! But as I get older, and think about the past… Father time has a way of creeping up fast! This God I once took the time to speak to. Is the one that I seldom take time to pray to! I need his help right now! More than ever! I'm not going to be on this earth forever! I'm going to focus on Jesus in a new direction! And give to him, my desires and ambitions! Talking with Jesus is the best thing I can do! Prayer can change my life! And be renewed! Won't you take the time to talk to God in prayer? He's waiting for you! And really cares! By Jim Pemberton
Today we view the sky, going upon the idea of reality and the veil of imagination, Today we view the sky. We dont wish, we dont dream, we dont take a look upon the clouds, but amongst the truth, We dont wish, we dont dream. I see what I am amongst the skies I view, they hold an essense used so that I see what I am. I take upon this elixer, indulge myself in truth, discover the white in all colors as I take upon this elixer. I know of you and I, of boys and girls who want to dream, of men and women meant for truth, I know of you and I. I wait with the sky for the realization from the world that I am right about the truth, I wait with the sky.
We're together in this, the fault is ours withhold the explanation we'll share the blame. "Not in this life! my take is already on the billboard" Now is the time to stick together holding each other, sharing one umbrella until this trying moment is over. "No way! I'm definitely leaving the squad". On the first sight of danger and an unpleasant situation of horror. 'Forgive me! but I'm stepping backwards" Persistence pays refined is the product coming through thick and thin be a risk taker and have guts. "Please, I don't need the award". Now is the time let's seize the moment a fool is the person who kicks opportunities away. "You go ahead, I'll do that afterwards" It's all about sacrifices subject yourself to undue limitations for the benefit of your next generation. "hell No! I'm definitely going overboard" The battle may seem bigger but you're more than capable examine the challenge, but focus on your strength. "Thank you! But I'm dropping my sword" Be unique, be different don't follow the crowd be a trail blazer and a pace setter. "So that I stand odd?" On the road to glory and a monster appears despite the capability to overcome he deviates from going goalwards. His achievements make neighbours bored his fury towards strain makes him seem awkward and his strong will becoming flatter than an Apple Keyboard What a being! His excellency, Mr. Coward.
Swallowing colors from a new day replacing the moon Affecting my soul as it orbits this world I find you Never have I seen such a beautiful sunrise Until I saw one ignite the passion deep inside of your eyes Turning the beats of my heart into a sweet melody As I listen to your voice then your lips begin melting me I can feel myself longing for the fire that once consumed all of my love It was like eating the sun so it scorched the taste of your kiss from my tongue Quietly the day falls away with little drops of rain Separating horizon from the sunsetting behind colors of gray Now even beneath a black sky I can still see your radiant face Tracing a silhouette of your world embodied with heavenly grace
Jesus Called Me to Follow HIM! "Come follow me" was the voice I heard. As I began to hear Christ' words! I was humbled to receive a heavenly invitation. I accepted Gods wondrous gift of salvation! "Why me?" was the question I pondered. For so many years… I had wandered. I knelt down and invited Jesus to come in, He took away my guilt and my darkest sin! He's brought a new life! And a love worth finding! His joy in my heart is HIS perfect timing! I cry tears of joy I once never had… I now have peace inside! I'm so glad! Why not invite him in to your life as well? He loves you much more than words can tell! "Come follow me!" Is the master's call! Eternal life is freely offered to all! Jesus waits for you, each day and night! He'll bring to your heart true delight! You'll find a true love you can only obtain… By inviting him in! Just call on his name! By Jim Pemberton
I stand infront of a mirror... Beholding my reflection in an hour.. As Slowly, I am amused to devour.. I notice changes more and more.. Have I grown old that fast? Stressors and problems that pass I sighted it's effects that may last.. I do not like to gush and rush.. For I want to enjoy in as much.. Tic tac! tic tac!, says the clock.. Don't get stuck, Don't get stuck.. Liking myself from a boulder or a rock.. Though a wind flows strongly aghast.. There's assurance it will not break or crack.. outside, I wanted to be like that.. yet inside, nothing but a soft firm lass.. Good or bad experiences, I have.. Not that I don't care as long as I'm love.. I don't want to rough but definitely tough.. Fearless yet Heart-full like a vamp..

The Joy That God Brings to Me… God gives me strength and everlasting joy. His words in my life, I need to employ. His joy brings strength to my very soul, giving comfort no matter where I may go. His joy gives a security, this world can't give! It is with me, every day I live. In my God, I will take delight! For he is with me every day and night! From the appearance of evil, may I abstain! And live in the joy of Jesus' precious name! In Jesus, my life is complete! As I lay my burdens at his feet! Over life's adversities, I'll rise above! And rest in the joy Of God's abiding love! By Jim Pemberton
Living A Life That's Pleasing to God! We must live in a way that's pleasing to the Lord Neglecting his word... we can't afford! It's HIS will to be sanctified and avoid immorality. If we don't… It'll lead to a spiritual fatality! With God's help... Our body... We must control! God's instructions for holiness, we ought to know. The sins against the body will not go unpunished! Our spiritual life needs to be daily replenished! God has called us to be holy, and not impure. His word in our life, we must daily secure! Whoever rejects his instruction ... also rejects HIM. And will lose out on what it means to be free from sin! Let's seek a Godly life! As our goal and ambition! Having Jesus in us is a great addition! Living a pure life is what we must do. He has the power to give victory to ME and YOU! By Jim Pemberton Read 1 Thess. 4:5-11
Jesus... You're beautiful and good to me! You've opened my blind eyes! Now I can see! I've seen your love in my family as well. You're so faithful! More than words can tell! All my sins... You've forgiven, And are patiently showing me your way of livin'! Living for you is so very precious! And your love is so very nutritous! Your blessings to me... I haven't deserved. Your peace to me has been served. You've been so patient with me and kind. Your promises have stood the test of time. Thank you Jesus! You're my best friend! And have been there for me again and again! How precious you are! Words alone can't express. Calling "Abba father..." I'm so blessed! I long to be refreshed by your presence each day. I love you more than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
=Pulpit and the Pews= When she bends She needed you most. You reposed And labelled her- Flagrant eloquent noise. Now perceives wide-awake There and then mews- Nothing to say. Who's fooling who? On whose folly In this case? Thorny woes Or woes tangle? Oil and canvas … Instrumental madness; Can grab Peter To play Paul. Viva, 'tis okay, She has no objection, No grudge, No hocus-pocus. Only that her burdens are Itchy crosses to bear. A petulant- Entity enticement, That knits her brow. To her, Not needed they are In the free air. We meet, we mix or miss. Tangle that mangled, Phantasmagoria: The phantom in their Framed mirrored lid. Tattering she mends "Not mine and never mine". Behold her for her stand. "Cynics' labels are nothing Should you hold within yourself. You're something And anything You believe you are. While God's tag is everything".
Written October 7, 2012 My soul burns inside And it comes comes out to hide When its so shocked to hear That the darkness is here Would you believe in the words that I say Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls With a paper in front and a pen in my hand I just want to change the world Is it too much to ask Too abstract to grasp This idea that's been running I promise there's good change coming With a bullet and a gun You'll get any man to run But it takes diplomacy To get a real man to see Would you believe in the words that I say Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls With a paper in front and a pen in my hand I could really change the world Is it too hard to be The man I want to see When I look in the mirror Lord I pray it was clearer With a permanent marker I color in darker The world that I see Ain't what it should be Would you believe in the words that I say Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls With a paper in front and a pen in my hand I am going to change the world
This question drives me up and down the walls I know for certain that God has answered my calls I can't hang up on Him…He's so brilliant And I'm so little compared to Him… Maybe I'm little in size and very insignificant compared to the most High He gives me quite a natural high He brings me back home and kisses me good night Without His love, I'd be lost like a sheep losing his shepherd I feel like I'm separated to God As if God and I are on both sides of the coin… Our oceans don't collide with each other, But He does make huge tidal waves… And I make baby waves that swerve up and down Like a wave's movement, my life seems to have its low points and high points But, when I build enough energy, I glide higher than the clouds Though, unfortunately, I've only been dreaming this Then, I collapse into the sand...my face rubs against it and I have scrapes all over Sand and water do mix well, but afterwards, the sea shore's weight will pile up on the bottom of the ocean floor I can't imagine how many grains of sand there are on Earth There are countless amounts of ants on Earth as well Trillions and trillions of them are in existence It's amazing how plants take in Carbon Dioxide And we breathe in oxygen… God is a fantastic creator and He did carve His creations pretty well God saw my distress and He healed me When I think about Him, I'm speechless and can't say much He's made out of love and He bubbles me up with excitement I haven't given Him the credit of working miracles in my life… But, I don't want to divorce God…I must propose to Him like a wife Does to her husband…I want to submit to Him He made the sunset, the moon and stars Look! He even made the planets and He healed our scars He made the flowers, the roses and the creeping bugs Look! He even made leaves for our eyes to see… He made the change of seasons God saw my distress and healed me God made the wild cats, bears, reptiles He made us have a brain that is as neat as black and white tiles God healed me…and I'm simply glad He did so God wiped out my distress…and He simply dressed me with happiness and He's in high spirits to see me grow ~ Inspired by the band of Evanescence's song: Never Go Back ~ God inspired me to write this poem…
A little boy looking into the mirror the reflection showing a stranger A few beard hairs on his face He fears that he's safe As all he's ever known is danger Smile growing wider Scars getting smaller This child's a survivor Still growing taller Weight of the world on his shoulders The mirror no longer shows it The little boy is getting closer Even though he doesn't know it The weight is shrinking He's feeling more comfortable Starting to change his thinking He no longer feels vulnerable Mirror starting to show his face And remove his mask He's finally found his place And let go of the past Spent my life looking for my dad And I found myself No longer need to worry about what I never had Because I found myself
I'm not ashamed of what Jesus has done for me! He took away my sin, that I might be free! I'm not ashamed of the love that he brings! He's brought to me true life! He's my everything! I'm not ashamed of his sacrifice on the cross! He picked me up, when I was utterly lost! I'm not ashamed of his glorious good news! Jesus brings the victory! He'll never lose! I'm not ashamed to introduce him to YOU! He can change and make your life BRAND NEW! I'm happy to know him as my Lord and shining light! His spirit is there to guide me, each day and night! I'm happy and thankful! Yes indeed! Jesus has come, and met my every need! I'm thrilled to know him! I expect him any day! I want to be attentive to what he has to say! I'm glad to know Jesus! He's beautiful to me! I'm happy that I'll be with him, for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
The Lord is my light and salvation. Whom shall I fear? He is my protector and friend. And is always near! He's the stronghold of my life... Whom shall I be afraid! He is clothed with righteousness. His majesty is displayed! Though evil men advance, and my enemies attack me… They will stumble and fall! For the Lord is with me! Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear! The Lord will fight for me, and they shall disappear! In the day of trouble, the Lord will keep me safe! He will hide and put me on a solid resting place! At his tabernacle, will I sacrifice shouts of joy! Singing and making music to the Lord, I shall enjoy! I am confident in the Lord's goodness, in the land of the living! I will enter his gates with praise and a heart of thanksgiving! I shall wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart! Being in his presence, is a good place to start! You, my Lord bring goodness and life to my soul! I shall sing of your love and mercy, wherever I go! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm ch. 27
Everyone want to know why but it is not so simple unless you want a lie Everyone wants to know the truth of the matter I can no longer disguise Everyone wants to know why and all i can say I put my heart in the matter Everyone wants to know why and I wonder why they constantly ask me What I do shouldn't be their matter Everyone wants to know why and simply I utter the changes in this body could stand the clutter no longer Finally I ask myself why and answer is clearly shown to me The changes in this body ask that I seek my true story ask that I be my own history ask that I shine this light of mine unendingly.
Here stands a fair beauty Queen with poise and Dignity. The daughter of an Erudite,an erudite herself One of the three central Spoke-persons in the Assembly of law-givers. The defender of the Helpless,mother of the Motherless. As fearless as A lion,who dared the Gunners in power,time Had she spent in jail, Thrown in by the most Powerful.

Come, all of you who are thirsty! Whose life has run dry! Come to God's living waters. Your needs, he shall supply! Come, those without money! Come, buy and eat! Buy wine and milk without money! That you may be complete! Why spend money on what isn't bread? And labor with no satisfaction? Behold the glory of the Lord! He offers his wonderful salvation! Listen to God! And eat that which taste so sweet! God brings everything to the table, so that you may be complete! Allow your soul to delight, in the riches of God, most fare! Allow his goodness and mercy to keep you in his care! Listen to the voice of God now! That your soul may live! Won't you come and receive all, that God has to give? He's the God of creation, and is waiting for YOU! Come all who are thirsty! That your life may be renewed! By Jim Pemberton 07/14/13 Read Psalm 55:1-3
I want to drown my urge to die I want to kill my pulse inside I can't breathe, I'm paranoid Everything in life I avoid Don't speak to me, I'll look away Inside my eyes is just decay I'm already dead, but have yet to die Why do I keep my body alive My soul is dead, eyes are lies So is the smile I hide behind Pull the plug, I'm a fake In a nightmare and I cannot wake Drown me! I'm flooded in pain Please help me regain Some peace, some rest I want to die to live again Set me free Slitting my wrists isn't working The more stares I get The more I become numb I just need to be gone Eliminate my pain, I'm already out of breath Suffocating on my hopelessness Every day I am alive But I'm craving to die inside Curved smile because your so naive You think I'm happy Yet I'm being crushed My head is overflowing With these thoughts that are too much One word, suicide Sparks a light inside of my eyes I don't want to pretend to live Let me go, flood me in sin There is where I want to swim Six feet under the ground Don't be selfish And keep me in pain To tourture my lifeless body again Let my body float soundly Rushing water, ocean salt I promise I won't feel it at all. End it, hold me under Then bury me so I can slumber Goodbye lifeless eyes As I'm dying I'll be coming alive Haunting images Deleted from my mind Laughing As I leave this world behind Water Floods my lungs Death Leans in for a kiss Together we sink into insanity And drown in infinitys abyss.
Do You Feel Like There's Nowhere to Go? I know that it's easy to get discouraged and upset. Feeling "trapped" ... But can't escape "just yet." You've tried everything. And not sure what else to do? Is there someone who can help you through?" Many things you've done. You've wanted to be forgiven! Yet struggle with this each day you're livin'! You meet people and wear a "smile." And sometimes wonder if living is really worth the while. You may have prayed over and over again. And yet constantly feel Like you're "trapped within." You may have tried to call on Jesus' name. Yet find yourself in "guilt and shame." Jesus is here now! And wants you to know… He can bring peace to your troubled soul. Rather than thinking of things done in the past. Come to Jesus now! His love will always LAST! Allow HIM to bring to your life the needed victory now! He'll make you a brand new person! And HOW! By Jim Pemberton
When walking a path that you wish to take A memory of love that never was a mistake Holding hands with the most of caring person Gave a virtue of different emotions and lesson Now you share and grow to care for another And you have created a family with no other It shows through generations that you have virtue Of whom you shared your love and faith in is true The image of both of you comes to make a new A new creation of a reflection of you
Love is not a science Nor a story of self- reliance It does not lay claim To those who place blame More than a perfect first date Or what was once thought to be fate Love is sadness in a mothers eyes As far away her son flies Dropping it all on a dime For a friendship impossible to define Love never looses sight Of what it knows to be right Impossible to ignore Like waves crashing upon the shore It surprises us all Like a child's first steps from a crawl It will break us down But only then can it be found
Jesus Picked Me Up, When I Fell Down! Jesus picked me up, when I fell down. He planted my feet on solid ground! There was a deep pit, that my life fell into! At first, I wasn't sure who to call out to! When it seemed like life was overwhelming me! Christ was there! And said that he'd help me! He reached down with an outstretched arm. And pulled me out of danger and harm! I'm thankful that Jesus was there! And he found me! Now each day… His love surrounds me! Thank you my lord, for being my friend! And rescuing me from the deep pit of sin! Jesus is my savior! And shall forever be! The only one who can truly set me free! By Jim Pemberton
You weren't born a bully, what happened along the way? Did you just, all of a sudden, declare that you were going to be a bully and get joy from making other kids fell lousy day after day? Were you bullied yourself, so you decided to be the big bad bully too? You find kids that you can easily intimidate because you know they're not as physically or mentally strong as you. You weren't born a bully, you allowed yourself to become one because you wanted to. You can just as easily change and become a nice kid, not bullying anyone anymore; it's not that hard to do. I'll gladly help, be your friend it you like. Maybe together we can find a way to end your bullying ways. You weren't born a bully, you were born to be a nice an kind kid. Why not start today!

I Rejoice In Knowing God! I will cry out to God with my voice! I take safety in him and rejoice! I shall seek him in the day of trouble! He'll pick me up, when I stumble! I know that he listens, and is always there! I shall seek each day, alone in prayer! I shall remember the Lord's faithful deeds! He gives me strength, and meets my needs! I meditate on his words, and wonders performed! He picks me up, when I feel defeated and scorned! He is God and shines with an awesome brightness! He brings everlasting love, peace and kindness! Behold! He is God! His power is demonstrated! His beauty among the heavens, has been demonstrated! He is God! And shall forever reign supreme! He is my God! My righteousness and everything!

1 2 3 Rest your head Take a breath Lay in bed Close your eyes Your work is done Hold the trigger And drop the gun Wipe your tears Dry your face Leave this path It's not your place Sit back up Count to 4 Relive the pains Re-fight the war Look in the mirror See your veins Clench your fist And drop the blade Thing again Count to 5 I know it hurts It's not your time Count to 6 See yourself See the pain See the hell Run the water Fill the tub Up to 7 You've had enough Let tears fall 8 9 10 Think happy thoughts instead.
Our security is only in God alone! Not in the things we have, or what we call "home!" True joy can be found in God himself! Not from the things we have ourselves! True contentment can be found at the cross! Jesus' death paid whatever it cost! Eternal love comes from doing God's will! Any emptiness, his love shall fill! The love of God is truly worth finding! His eternal life is forever binding! Won't you take a moment and invite HIM in? And have total forgiveness of every sin? God rewards those who diligently seek him. Won't you reach out to him now? And receive him? By Jim Pemberton
Jesus… We Ask For Your Protection! Jesus… We ask for your protection upon our home. May our family sing praises around your throne! May you be honored in the things we say and do! May our hearts be as an expression of YOU! We pray that your blessings will be received! May your spirit of loving, be what's achieved! We pray that we'll strive for a Godly way of living! And walk before you, in a spirit of thanksgiving! We pray that our vows to one another will be "reinforced!" Help us to stay strong, and not drift "off course." May your peace be what binds us together! Allowing you to be our lord… Now and forever! Please bind our hearts together as one! May your words guide our daughters and sons! We thank and bless you! And praise your holy name! An abundant life with you, may we seek to obtain. You are and will always be the Lord for us! We give you our love, and all of our trust! You give us everything we have ever needed! With you, our home has been completed! By Jim Pemberton
God Gave Us His Truth, But Many Reject It! God gave us his truth… But many reject it! Many have chosen a lie… And accept it! God gave us his word, so we can live by his rules. Without God in our lives, many have become "fools." Refusing God's holy truth, and accepting a corruptible lie! They believe whatever untruth can "satisfy." For this reason, many have a very confused mind! As many look for answers of various kinds! God's word is the only truth to securely build on! But many have brought confusion to build their lives on! The principles of God's word, give true freedom to all! Won't you "wake up?" And heed the master's call? God is calling everyone to listen to what he's saying! It's time we seek his truth! In humbleness and praying! The truth of Jesus Christ is the most important thing! He has the answer to whatever life may bring! Please allow his precious truth to touch your life today! He can remove and take all doubts away! The words of Jesus Christ ring loud and very clear! He'll bring the sunshine in! Any darkness will disappear! By Jim Pemberton
We have heard about wonders that great men from history did – Jesus walking on water; Buddha calming a wild elephant; levitation of Saint Joseph of Cupertino; Andromeda, wife of Perseus, placed among the constellations, and many more unfathomable happenings. In our present world, we still wish and hope for the extra- ordinary in the ordinary when we pray for rain to rain down from a clear sky; pray that a good Samaritan to give you a ride when your car runs out of gas; myself winning that I can win a Nobel Prize, even though my grammar may be wanting. I will understand when you tell me that you believe that you can pass through a wall, without hitting it, if you also believe that a rose flower can sprout in an earth-scorching desert…… Contest: ONE OF YOUR BEST Contest
Christ Stepped Down From His Heavenly Throne! Christ stepped down, from his heavenly throne. He came to earth… For 33 years, he called it his home! His mission had one purpose and desire in mind! He was to one day, be a sacrifice for mankind! He taught and gave us his words, powerfully spoken! He knew that one day, his body would be broken! He desired that all, would one day, come to know him! Because of his resurrection, all can receive him! He's alive today! And reigns from heaven above! And desires to touch us, with his endless love! Won't you humbly come, and accept what he's given? And experience the power, of being forgiven! This can be your moment! This can be YOUR day! He loves you much more, than words can say! All honor and praise, to Christ Jesus, our king! You are our righteousness! Our everything! By Jim Pemberton

In the hills of Crystal haven. In the hills of crystal Haven Roams a lady of real beauty Who wanders with the wolves In liberty. She has left the town of Brookville To seek what Can't be found Now she likes to hear the wind among the trees, She had met this wise old hermit Poorly washed and all bedraggled And he had told her what could not be known As she listened like still waters In that space that feels like velvet And now that mystic lady she must roam. So she wanders all the hillsides As she listens to the silence And she talks to her good friends the forest folk. While meanwhile all the townsfolk They just laugh and call her crazy As they point at her, and treat her as a joke. For none have heard that whisper That murmurs silence softly As it comes from somewhere deep within ones soul Drawing forth the butterfly That flies one to the mystic And with a soothing flutter makes one whole. Dec 9 2003
Compared to a snake that slithers and slides, A tongue with a fork, he hisses and hides. He's patiently waiting, he envies our death. A mind fueled by sloth, and wrath on his breath. He traps using snares, with sin as a curse. He's evil and sly, his charm is rehearsed. We're tempted by lust, gluttony and greed. These actions are food, he needs it to feed. Preventing the peace, his mission is clear. To cause us all pain, our joy is his fear. He covets our souls, to pride his command. To enflame our hate, and rule as he planned. He's tortured and burning in fires below, A place for the wicked, a place without snow. Deciphered as Lucifer, an angel that fell. Only Gods' chosen people, the righteous prevail. Prayer through kindness, and loving with care. Shining swords of the saints, thrusted up in the air. - Yours Truly
Jesus, Please Renew My Mind! Jesus, may my mind be touched and renewed! By your grace, may it think on thoughts of YOU! May my life and mind be restored from within! Help me to be free from the bondage of sin! Please help me to think on things that are pure! And focused on your words, which are secure! May there be thoughts inspired by your kindness! Without your light, I'm walking in blindness! The beauty of YOU, Jesus, is what refreshes me! It's your Holy Spirit that daily blesses me! Thank you, my Lord, for being loving and kind! By your strength, you've transformed my mind! You've given to me hope… Once again! You're one that I can always call a friend! In you, I have a mind of peace and security! And look forward to being with you for eternity! By Jim Pemberton
All that happens is really inside, From the love and desire, To the cosmic tide. The coming of Christ, The going of God, The devil's rise, The morning fog. The dark naked nights, Of torment and fear, The atomic bomb and the rumours I hear. From the beginning of time, Till the end of space, The prison bars in front of my face. The labyrinth of lies, The weaver weaves, The kaleidoscopes patterns, Of the autumn leaves. All born of tears and blood and guts, Of suffering children crying for love. The inside is real, The outside is dead, An empty shell, I dreamed in my head. The you and me, Are forgotten and gone, In the rumours I hear, In the atomic bomb.
Jesus Knows All About Your Pain! "It's hard to see someone I love, go through so much pain." These were the words I spoke, When I called on Jesus' name. "This person whom I love has gone through so much." "How I wish to bring my peace and a healing touch." I cried and wept as I heard the master's voice. His gift of love is for us all... it's our choice! His body was broken. A sacrifice was made. His love... For our sorrow and pain... is what he gave! His grace is more than sufficient, for the pain we often endure. His love and commitment to you, is steadfast and secure! He loves you so much!. And waits at your heart's door. He gives peace and comfort! And so much more! The pain and suffering you're going through today. Please listen to the words Christ has to say; "I am God!" "I'll be with YOU... until the end!" My love and devotion to you will never end." By Jim Pemberton
Way to lace the blues They could be so hard in your care, So leave the burdens to their bear'. Then watch them disgrace? Should them in their lots are the God, So will the heavens know no shod? Thus uphold His grace! Live life and withhold not your love; For your mode models you a clove. Mean well to all race! Blues as they, are must overcome. Walk your light heart through earned welcome. Way to tie the lace! 4th of March,2014.
I'll never fully understand, or comprehend. The power of God's love in the cleansing of sin! From where I was, to where I am today… I appreciate God! More than words can say. I shall give him glory and praise! And seek to worship him! All of my days! He's more precious to me than ever before! His precious love… I need so much more! His marvelous love, shall bless me to the end… For this, I say, "Hallelujah!" And "Amen!" By Jim Pemberton
You see me, But in a while You will not; I become one With the wind and the rain. We touch, Relish the warmth and passion, But when the clasp breaks, I reside in the quiet Of your heart. On your bad days, I am your friend; On good days, We laugh and play As before, but here's a clue: Nothing has really changed. You don't need a psychic To relay from " beyond"; Do you wonder where I am, Or if I'm OK? Listen: I will tell you. Tears come, But I'll let you in on a secret: I have never left; No, I am not here as before; If you look at the sunshine, You will see me smile.
I pray to God that it will be a brighter day; I want his warmth to clothe me day after day Someday, the sun will erase all of my doubts and push away the clouds… I want to be a positive schoolboy – but the clouds Cover me like mesmerizing, despondent shrouds I want to be a positive youngster – I need to stay True to my unaccomplished goals everyday Lord, I know life has its ups and downs – but, I must keep a steady pace… I want to develop a stable mentality with no trace of pity Lord, I know life gets problematic in the long run – I FEAR I might fall on my face I just want to be content – I want my dreams to become a reality I'll be loving you forever… for you're the last thing on my mind before I go to sleep at night I'll take a moment just to ponder… About you and our time together – thinking about you restores hope, joy and might our love is wholesome and so much more… our love will grow on forevermore… our love is real and it's a great deal… our love is beyond measure and it's totally real… Our Love is oh so surreal You melt my anguish away… Our love can heal a broken heart You cherish me in the month of May You blow away winter's dismay I pray to God for a more optimistic mindset… Hopefully it doesn't result in forfeits Push away the gray…and laminate it with a striking sunset, I'm drowning in his inclement, rainy regrets I'll make sure to embrace competition… for you're my reason I run the extra mile, winning honor and applauds I'll take a moment to pursue my ambition... Of being with you always and forever – I fear I might lose all of my odds With you…your heart isn't pumping with vile frauds Every single second spent with you… Makes my spirit soar anew... I never experienced such surreal love Our love flourishes rapidly from up above I'm sick with a love flu *cough* *cough*
I'd rather read something for minutes eight Than wait eight minutes for this site to load For this slow net service I cannot wai tI'd rather nap or simply stay at home What makes this service too slow I wonder Too many users online at this time? Too many files on this old computer? Way too many downloads? From many sites? 'Tis time to stop wasting hours on the Net 'Tis time to memorize from the Qur'an Time to study for school, to be the best, Seek knowledge offline as much as I can. Farewell, Internet, I'll come back later When the net connection's a lot faster :)
God Said; I AM God said; My provision for you is more than enough. I'll see you through when the going gets tough. I'll give you joy unspeakable and the half hasn't been told. I am Jehovah! Your provider! More precious than gold! I am the sufficient one who's able to meet your need. Come to the table I've prepared for you... And feed! Eat of the Bread of Life that only I can give! Allow it to enrich your soul each day you live. Come and drink of my water which never shall run dry. I am the eternal one... I am El-Shaddai. I can quench your thirst in a dry and barren land. I am here for you! Give me your hand! Let me do what no other power or God can do. I am that I am! I am God.! And I'm here for you! By Jim Pemberton

When I first met you you were so cute that my brain just couldn't compute so I went mute As I stared in awe Wanting to know you Noticing that the reason my heart ached was because of you A girl much more than a pretty face I never wanted to make love out of lust but then I realized that it was in you I trust So I must change to show you this isn't simply a fascination
In spite of what you hear, and what others tell you… There's a God who loves and will NEVER fail you! God is powerful! Much bigger than our constitution! He's more solid than any government institution! His wisdom what lays the groundwork for a foundation! Without him, we simply become a godless nation! He gives true freedom, when there's none to be found! His principles of life, are what provide a solid ground! Won't you give him a chance, in your life today? And listen to the words of love, that he has to say? His gift of salvation… You too can receive it! An everlasting life with HIM… You can achieve it! His son Jesus has brought freedom from sin! By his shed blood... You can be born again! Thank you my Lord! For the life you've given! You've never failed me! I am free and forgiven! By Jim Pemberton
we have grown a little older.. by age, by appearance and by maturity.. gone are the days of innocence... these the days of patience along hindrances.. we look for suitable occupation.. thinking it will enough for our satisfaction.. pleasing each passing incoming generation.. totally aiming for progressive transformation.. all are taking some turns and risks.. hoping and praying these for keeps... even if it weakens the arms and hips.. vigorously, still one must try the dip...

We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood! We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers in a high place! It's a battle that continues each day! It's evil vs. God's grace! There are powers of good and evil fighting for you and me! They're fighting for where your soul will be for eternity! The Bible clearly speaks of this, and makes it very clear! This world, as we know it, shall one day disappear! This battle is not ours, but a spiritual one that rages! It's been going on, since the beginning of the ages! Satan has unleashed his evil demons to run "here and there." His ultimate goal is to see you dead! HE DOESN'T CARE! Jesus came, to sacrifice his life, to purchase your soul! He loves you so very much! More than you'll ever know! If you see yourself "wrestling," against another person… Let this be a reminder to you! And an important lesson! The truth of God's word is relevant! May it speak to you today! Where there is a spiritual battle… Christ has made a way! He's made a way to flee! And accept his salvation plan! The best thing you can do, is to put you life in HIS hands! Jesus is the best reason for you to accept him! Won't you do it? Through the struggles and battle of life… He will see you through it! Please come Lord Jesus and touch us with your glory that shines! For you have already won the battle! And victory can be MINE! By Jim Pemberton Read Eph. 6:12
He set my tongue on fire! So I must not retire But speak His word in season and out of season He set my tongue on fire! So I must always desire The fullness of Him who dwelleth in bodily form He set my tongue on fire! So I must inspire A crooked and perverse generation He set my tongue on fire! So I can be like a Holy Ghost Naked Wire Unleashing from within me the power of God He set my tongue on fire! So I must speak the language of my messiah For I speak not unto men but unto God He set my tongue on fire! So I can never expire But speak with inspiration He set my tongue on fire! "As it is written He maketh Angels Spirit and His ministers flames of fire" A secret that all Speakers of His word know He set my tongue on fire! So in His Word I will deeply inquire For the words we speak are spirit and life
before, i have been chasing the future... true, there is a must & need to prepare.. yet, who knows what tomorrow can bring.. Wisdom and A heart to decide, our gifts from God.. It lies within us... Within our own very selves.. How our life will be.. How our future will be.. It's wrong to lay it in all to God... It's wrong to say: He always there.. It's wrong to depend it all to Him.. why o why???? Cause it us who is living.. It is our duty as humans to go striving.. It is in us to not never give up.. Instead to pursue believing... Doing progressive productive actions.. not to sit and fool around... not to be lazy and to be as like parasites.. nor be like also gold - diggers... It is our cumulative deeds that will lead us.. It is by our most definite specific decisions... It is by our first step and the risks.. above all of these efforts and foregoing acts.. God will see; God will do His way.. He will touch whatever is in us... In His God's grace and time, He will make all fit... BY: olive_eloi sept. 14, 2013 12:23am
I Bless Your Name, My Lord! I bless your name, my Lord and friend! I shall sing of your praise again and again! I bring a heart of worship and thanksgiving! May I honor you, in the way I am living!

Glory in the highest! I'm here today, because of your mercy and kindness! You've given to me a life that I never had! I'm so honored to know you! And very glad! By Jim Pemberton
The signs are here, for all to see, The thunder clouds, the dying tree. The shining lights, that draw you near, Loud heavy music, in your ear. By word of mouth, or through cyber space, The hidden pictures, of your face, The northern lights, are dancing south, The rumours you hear, by word of mouth. The sign are falling, from the sky, Raining stars, on the passers by, While the battle rages, on underground, The innocent dying, without a sound. The cries of heaven, the screams in hell, That no one hears, down in this well, The terrible beauty, the open wound, The innocent babies, in open tombs. For all to see, for all to hear, The blind man's painting, the deaf man's ear. The birds are falling, the fishes drowned, What once was up, has now become down, The tender and loving, an empty shell, The gross and the ugly, now the rallying bell. The signs are here, for all to see, Titanic sinking, on a blood red sea. More poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
May Jesus Be Glorified! May Jesus be glorified! His enemies scattered! He's everything to me! And all that matters! Every battle in life… He's there with me! He is my protector… Because he loves me! He is my rock, high tower and my shield! Every evil sprit, to him, must yield! I've decided to join his army! The battle is won! Victory is assured! Through God's anointed son! My life with him, is eternally bliss! For he is mine! And I am HIS! By Jim Pemberton
God Gives His Very Best! God loves YOU! And always gives his best! He offers his love! Why settle for less? He provides everything you'll ever need! And has given his word to direct and lead! He gave his son to be sacrificed for us! And asks us to give him our heart and trust! His son came to you may have life eternal! So that your name can be in heaven's journal! Won't you take this time, and accept him? There's no reason to refuse and reject him! Won't you allow his presence to fill you? Before the problems of life "overwhelm" you! He's God! He can do more than what you can think of! And he loves you more than any words can speak of! By Jim Pemberton
Tomorrow's history makers Future record breakers Are the infants of this day They should be taught well In order to lead the way They should be taken forward In the fear of God By the responsible one's above them Ye parents, guardians and lecture givers Train them to keep of boozing Instruct them never to go logger heads Improve their knowledge of moral uprightness So as not to make their regime Bite the just Our guardians of later days Subtract yourselves from the disguised devils Less they turn you into a bag of disgust Make yourself confident in yourself And keep a cold shoulder Of relying on them Or at last you become failure's hosts Disembark from the plane of the unjust And board the plane of the just Desist from hitting below the belt And permit fairplay to rule For it is a praise worthy value Let the truth prevail in all you do Let your attitude be reflected in your records So as to be known as an accountable man And a scrupulously honest woman Always be on the level So that they would be your face saver When the doubting Thomas talks Deprive yourself from going against the rules Even when you fail But move on gallantly Till you win the race Lend a helping hand To those who lose When you win Cease to get satisfied With where you are Escape from the clutches of laziness For it hinders your success Put your best foot forward And work as if your whole life depends on it Don't mask yourself from your responsibility Express love and care to your mother land Show her all the beauty She possess inside her Give her the strength of pride To be a gallant bride.

For doing what you do! I am so honored and blessed to know YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Man's Afflictions and God's Salvation! I've seen and heard of many afflictions! Things happen in life, that need our attention! There are things that happen that bring despair. Wondering if anyone listens or even cares! There's a God in heaven who sees what's wrong! There are many things that don't belong! Evil moves with a power and destructive force! It comes in many forms, from an ungodly source! God knows what is happening and offers a plan! His gift of salvation is freely offered to man! His ways of living are at odds with this earth! Anyone can come to Christ, and receive a "new birth!" If life's heartaches and worries are pulling you down… There's a new life for YOU! Waiting to be found! Your afflictions, for God's healing, is for you to receive! Won't you reach out to him now? And simply believe? His gifts of mercy and hope, is what HE can give! He can totally transform you! And the way you live! His salvation, for life's heartaches, is freely yours! A new life with Jesus can be true and secure! By Jim Pemberton
Chained by a past that would not let me fly Wings of insanity floated ruthlessly by Clouds of disorder drowned out the way There was no hope until Jesus lit up my day Injections of madness dripped through my veins Alone in the sadness and rejected by the pain If I had a bullet for every tear I could have made the whole world disappear Cold-blooded killers masked around as my friends Beat me with kisses again and again Where can one go when fire turns to ice? Only to the healer who paid the full price Now when the shadows call into the night I smile and look up to my shining light No one can take away what has already been done I give thanks that the battle has already been won. By: Sabina Nicole
I Owe Everything to Jesus! Jesus' death paid it all! What have I given in return? His death on the cross… Was from love and concern! His life for mine… On Calvary… Has been paid! His offer of eternal life, has been made! Through God's word, he's been talking! And stands at my hearts door… knocking! I'll invite him in? As my guest! Then, your life will be totally blessed! He brings health and healing to my bones! He can bring his love to my family and home! "Come unto me." Is the the master's call. Living for him is worth it all! He's here right now! In this very place… And extends his mercy and grace. I accept and receive him today! I love him more, than words can say! By Jim Pemberton
Do We Share the Hope Christ Gave Us? The Bible says to "give reason of the hope within us." But too often, we drag a lot of weight beneath us! Christ wants us freely to share his hope with others! We need to willingly share his love with another! How will others have hope? Unless we share it? Christ told us to pick up our cross, and bear it! We need to be his example, in the world's madness! We need to do it from a heart of joy and gladness! We needn't be ashamed of the work God has done! All glory and honor should be given to his son! He gives joy unspeakable! And the half hasn't been told! May we be an expression of his joy! Both young an old! Let's bless the lord! In what we say and how we live! He's patient with us! And so willing to forgive! Please come Lord Jesus! And take self pride away! Bring your holy conviction, and give us the words to say! This may seem odd! And to many… Old fashioned! Stir our hearts to share with a godly compassion! Please come Jesus! And stir our hearts, from within! That we would love to tell others about YOU! Our best friend! By Jim Pemberton
Do You Listen to What God Has to Say? As I often watch the daily news. I hear about different stories and different views. I can't help but to wonder when some complain. Anything of God, many want to "contain." Many of people's thoughts bring a concern... When it comes to God's word. They have "their backs turned." While often, they speak of "tolerance" in their living... Only what they want to believe... Is what they are giving. This isn't a picture of "doom and gloom." But a "day of reckoning" is coming so very soon! God's word... Will you choose to ignore? When he comes knocking, at your heart's door? What will you believe, when God calls your name? Will you come to him? Or simply complain? You'll be by yourself at God's judgment day. When your name is called. What will you say? God's says: "My love for you will never end." Allow his word to guide you... And to be your friend! By Jim Pemberton
All I will say is how I did my best ever day to say you are my love Before I go to bed and before I wake up I pray above Cluing you with the best of my affections that I hope you see Did you know that everyday I look at you my day is pleasant and that is the key Everyone that knows me knows that you are the one for me Friends and family love you as much as I expect to be Going forward with all my heart I give you my love unexpectedly Holding your hand while walking and whispering to your ear I love unconditionally In my heart I expect in return is a smile of faith Just when we look into each others eyes in love we bathe Kindly we speak to each other with passion Life we have together we love our every hug and kisses in occasions

Where The Wind Blows Where the wind blows, I do not know. I can almost feel it's breeze, beneath my soul. Where the wind takes me, I don't know the place. As it breathes it's gentleness across my face. As the wind blows, and the frost disappears. I know that the spring season shall appear! The strong wind from the ocean beyond. Causes me to dance at the local pond. As the wind brings in summer's grace… Beautiful flowers bring a smile to my face! This wind blows, and the autumn leaves fall. Nature gets my attention, as the birds soon call! The breeze continues as the cool winds come. I see more stars in the sky, and less of the sun. This wind brings peace, and whispers me name… Whatever direction, it remains the same! It brings strength and refreshes within. May this wind blow on me once again! By Jim Pemberton
From hearts and flowers the gaps between thoughts moments within hours gifts given and bought dew drops on lotus leaves skeletons of fish smiles of old wise men a reality from a wish deep ocean currents volcanic lava and ash letters from the postman a sudden increase in cash a photographic image words jumbled on a page the formation of clouds a bird outside a cage sweet laughter of a kiddie sad cries from those who've lost hard lessons learned and the price that it cost spectacular sunsets to snowmen who melt rain dripping from gutters life's cards you've been dealt 4 September 2013
I Don't Want to Forget You, Lord! Lord Jesus, I don't want to ever forget about you! I just want to take some time, to praise you! During my life, I want the past behind me! When I was struggling… It was you that helped me! The many times you listened to my cries… I knew you'd help me! I didn't know why! I want to cherish the promises you made. I want to enjoy this life, that you gave! I want to remember the times we've had together! I don't want to leave you! Now… Or ever! I want to think about the good times, that we've had! You brought joy to my heart! I am so glad! I want take each day and keep "moving on." I know that you are with me… All the day long! Thank you Jesus! For the times you've been there! Always a friend I need! Who truly cares! An abundance of life, is what I received! That moment I trusted you, and began to BELIEVE! By Jim Pemberton
My mom certainly was a credit to all Humans. She was wonderful and one Hell of a woman. Everybody loved her because she was kind and sweet. She would've loaned you money for rent if you were about to be thrown out into the street. And if she hadn't needed the money, she wouldn't have made you pay it back. She was terrific, morals and humanity weren't things that my mom lacked. She gave donations to help the homeless because she was endearing. My heart was broken in February of 2013 because the end was nearing. In 2001 she gave a hundred bucks to help when New York City was attacked. She was one Hell of a woman and that's not an opinion, that's a cold stone fact. [Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
Long going and everlasting is my suffering you see while I've waited upon the hands of destiny walked on faith and not by site along the lines of the enemy is where i shall rest for he is with me,and as the story goes he will lead me and to there i shall go where ever it is that he delegates me to be and at the right moment. you'll see me walking into your life so look out for me and remember to think twice because walking in the will of the lord could lead you a many places,and although long suffering seems to be the way an endless journey is what your and a home with god to stay keep going.
In a written note I tell a thousand words, Words which talks of a soul so free, Everyday my diary is filled with words, Telling of a life lived in ups and down. The down side doesn't bring me down, But the up side keeps pushing me up, Because I refuse to let them push me down. I have been there and done that, With every breath my lungs became dry, I lived a life larger than life itself, Where I was the king and the servant. With this my kingdom became bigger, For no one but I lived in the castle, A castle that I built in the air. The castle was blown away by wind, Because the foundation was weak, For nothing was there to support it, And loneliness even made it worse. It was like a dream torn apart, Gone with the wind never to be back, As the high walls falls down bare. With all this I turned to my ups, I stopped building castles in dreams, And made them in reality of this life, Where foundations are never shaken. The wind could not blow them away, And the wall did not crumble again, Because I lived a life of reality and truth, Filling my diary with a positive vibe. BERNARD WACHIRA ORIGINAL POEM.

Here comes that familiar breeze again Emptied of hope, it always returns to refill Some other abandoned soul A soul that delves deep into my own, Drifting in an almost shameful stance Festered ignorance, time, and thought Resting under the wing of frightened hope It is cool, like any ordinary breeze It pleases all that feel it, save I For I know it longs to take all that I have In one…single… swoosh You overlooked demon! Why are you so gentle? Why must you manifest in sorrow and woe? Sleeping in the convent of my soul As others praise you and thank you You take me under tow Forever more, lost in this sicklied growth With a silent tune of rests within notes I remain where the breath is taken I remain your host The breeze grows painstakingly warm Filling all with passions unfolding Each soul finds its home Leaving me alone with a soul untold Always awake and crawling… and screaming Bold, all-knowing and thoughtless Wingless, tainted…filled with dread It is warm and hated by all that behold it And I grasp it, and hate it, and LOVE IT For it takes nothing and gives me all In multitudinous shrouds Beloved angel—why do you burn me so… Leading me into your sick embraces As others curse to your face You forever release in me A despairing freedom that I know longer wish for The melody caught—no room to breathe Harmony caked with ignorance does seethe For all no longer see… I was always the caller
Let the words I speak Be unto you Let the one I seek Be only you And let my heart beat Beat for you And let my soul Burn for you Til I'm consumed Until I'm consumed . Won't you take all of me Until your image in me is all you see But You won't take what I won't give And my sin won't die until You live Inside of me I feel I'm hangin by a thread This old man just isn't dead I keep reviving him instead of trusting You . So Let the words I speak Be unto you Let the one I seek Be only you And let my heart beat Beat for you And let my soul Burn for you Til I'm consumed Until I'm consumed . And when my day comes To an end And I look back at where I have been Many roads I've traveled Sure took a wrong turn now and then I need You just as much right now, as I did back then . So Let the words I speak Be unto you Let the one I seek Be only you And let my heart beat Beat for you And let my soul Burn for you Til I'm consumed Until I'm consumed . Let there never be a doubt That You changed me from the inside out It was only You all along I could never be that strong On my own . Let the words I speak Be unto you Let the one I seek Be only you And let my heart beat Beat for you And let my soul Burn for you Til I'm consumed Until I'm consumed Until everything in me Looks just like You

Never throw punches at the rain, don't doubt the pain of the sane, nor the deranged. Never toss change into a fountain, and hope for a wish that you haven't earned just because you have a nickel to spare. Never dream without company, lies are most easily revealed with another set of eyes. Never rise out of bed, without thinking of the consequences of getting out of your own head. Don't fret about the chaos, let it flow past your bones and sizzle at your feet. You are alive, now prove it to the world before you become a memory. Make sure that you raged, that you were boundless. Become not just a memory; become a living legacy. This is your story. Write it in the blood you were given. -James Kelley 2013, All rights reserved.
My friend thought after getting married, his "satisfaction" was solved! His wife had no idea how deeply he was involved. On their wedding day, she was a beauty to be seen. She was the twinkle in his eye, his partner—his everything. The lust he craved, she alone could not satisfy. As other women caught his wandering eye. As time went on, he'd make excuses in my mind. "I'll make up with my wife." "Not now." "Some other time..." Adultery was something he swore he'd never do! He promised "to always be faithful and true." One day he allowed his guard to fall down. Then his whole life "came crashing down." The guilt he bore was difficult to explain. He'd feel guilty at the mention of my wife's name. One day she found him in a compromising situation. He tried to give her some kind of an explanation. She said she'd stay with him ... if he'd give up his lustful deeds. "Repent to Jesus," she said, "He'll meet all of your needs." To Jesus, and her, he confessed and asked for forgiveness. In Jesus, he found true joy, love and happiness. As he looks back and think about how he lived. He's thankful to Jesus! Who's willing to forgive! He alone has brought true satisfaction to his soul. And is with him now! Wherever he goes! By Jim Pemberton
Do You Seek God's Holiness? There are many in church That don't seem to be concerned... Holiness in their lives must be learned. Many attend each Sunday, and go to every class. But outside church, their spiritual life burns out fast. Many think they're doing fine and "o.k." As long as they give money and sing and pray. They listen to God's word, and read the verses... You can see their Bibles under their purses! A sense of excitement stirs each Sunday morning. But many fail to heed God's somber warning. Without holiness, no one shall enter God's throne. If Jesus came today... Many would left alone! God knows the heart of man is wicked deep within. That's why Jesus said: "YOU MUST be born again." Be separate from the world's wicked and sinful ways. "Be ready for my coming" is what Jesus says. At God's house, his divine judgement shall start. Live for Jesus NOW—love him with all of your heart. Keep this important thought in mind. If he came now... Would you go? Or be left behind? By Jim Pemberton
The priestess had seen it all well; she had seen it coming. The Snow Goddess had spoken to her in a dream. "How could this be?!" the priestess asked herself. The human nature in her could not make sense of what her visions entailed. The reality came to life in the night without the moon, but a night full of stars! The malevolent tribe of the wolves had broken the gates, and killed thousands of knights. They sought the blood of the Queen; the priestess herself! Her divine soul was too much for the vile and dark wolf warriors to bear. The invaders were ten feet tall, with muscles as strong as steel, and teeth as mammoth as elephant tasks! Warriors of the Snow Kingdom were no match for such an army. "I leave my Kingdom's fate to you my Goddess…" the priestess whispered in despair. As the wolf warriors reached the foot of a big mountain, the auroras began to appear. They were of different colors like rainbow! Their visibility invited a tremor that created avalanches, that buried the entire giant army to their deaths. The Queen's vision had come true!

You've made us all, the planets and the stars! May we seek your redemption to make us whole… You love us much more, than we'll ever know! This same Lord extends a heavenly invitation. Through Jesus Christ… You can be a new creation! Please Lord God, touch our lives with holy fire! That serving you, will be our daily desire! By Jim Pemberton
If I Give God Everything… If I give God everything, what have I to lose? He's been calling me… I don't want to refuse! I need to give HIM control of everything I do… He promised to change and make me brand new! I must confess and humbly come before him! I need to take the time, to love and know him! I'll try to give him, all of my burdens and troubles. He's there to pick me up, when I fall and stumble! God is merciful! And is waiting with open arms! His arms of love, will shelter me, from all harm! As I give God what I have, I know I need more of him! I need to experience Jesus' blood to cleanse my every sin! I'm so thankful and grateful for all that he has done! I shall praise and worship Jesus! God's precious son! I Praise you father! I bless and honor your name! As I give you my life… I am forever changed! By Jim Pemberton
THE SUCCESSFUL MAN Every successful man had his first time What happened that day was his experience If he trailed,then he became resilient But if he thrived,he became consistent Every successful man had his first time Every successful man had his first time When he trailed, he refused to flatter-close his eyelid, when he was feeling drowsy He was at will and top to lift that which the world said was heavy Every successful man had his first time Every successful man had his first time When he thrived, he refused to sigh Until he inhaled the last air he refused to smile Until he felt the last tear drop Every successful man had his first time What then is success? Success is how the beneficiary defines it Success is the ability to revisit Success is the willingness to conquer that which is conquered Success is the zeal to awaken that which is dead Success is the courage to say never Success is the stamina to stay forever Success is the patience to await regardless Success is the readiness to climb the impossible stairs Success is you and I Success depends on how high we can fly Success depends on how best you can try Success is what we deserve before we die

it itches it burns it makes me yearn for things i seem so unsure of yet sure they are for me how confusing and revolting that must be? a lady who just cant make up her mind on what she wants to be! Perhaps a dancer, a singer, a animal lover and trainer or even engineer idk, the path just doesn't seem very clear. And with all that inspiration floating in the air its pretty hard to put a finger on what exactly is my passion but i know it's around here somewhere I suppose i could be an artist an artist of spiritual awakening an artist of the soul in the making an artist who holds creativity and inspiration in much regard an artist who is grateful that she might have just found the spark! spark of passion spark of joy and fulfillment spark that embeds in daily environment pleasant surprise presents itself as the garden of enlightenment
Sinking in deeper, No way to escape, The dark and scary Reaper, Fore told in the Book of Life. Is this my end? Will I ever see the light of day again? No. My wounds, I must mend. I must find my strength. Stand my ground, Face my fears. Only then will my voice be found I must survive. Break the suffocating chains, Run from the darkness. Power will fill my veins. I will Fight! Fight the painful names, The horrid memories, The demented games And escape My Black Abyss.
I won't be happy with my life, until… I live in accordance with God's will! I need to seek his will, in all that I do! All that I face in life… He'll see me through! His will is the best design, that's in place! He designed me, because of his grace! Seeking the will of Jesus, gives a peace of mind! And helps me to be successful with my time! Serving HIM gives my life a true meaning! It's in HIS direction, that I need to be leaning! HE is what true joy and peace are about! He knows my life! Both inside and out! Thank you dear God, for being with me! It is no secret how much you love me! You are have come, to nourish my soul! By your will, I'm complete and whole! I bless your name! Forever you are praised! I shall seek your will! All of my days! By Jim Pemberton
The Captain of the Arrogant I wonder where that old man's from who looks out from the glass, The history that's on his face Reveals a troubled past His weary eyes though bright and blue Are burning full of tears, As if they're overflowing With his sin throughout the years I wonder if he knows the pain Of all he's said and done, To others whom he claimed to love Who's lives he left undone? The captain of the arrogant And master of his pride, He's just like all the rest of us If we would look inside His flaming, sinful, passions of his youth Now just an ember, I wonder if this old man Has the courage to remember? That everything you say and do In this life has a cost, And the future is forever, But the past forever lost... As I look closer at this man And ponder at his past, I realize this old man is me Inside the looking glass And yes, I do remember All the wicked things I've done, But I've given them to Jesus And He's forgiven every one The tears I shed are tears of joy That I let freely flow, Because I know my destination Is where He would have me go The Destroyer of my arrogance The killer of my pride, He took away my heart of stone And put a heart of flesh inside Yes I know where the old man's from Who looks out from the glass, But he's heading toward the future And letting Jesus have the past
Jesus, Give Me the Strength To Make It Through! Lord Jesus, please give the strength and power. To help me to make if through my darkest hour! In the midst of this darkness… I need your guiding light! With your help… Everything will be alright! I need you now! Like I've never needed you before! Through life'\s difficulties... I need you so much more! By your strength, and gentle loving hand… Everything I go through. I know you understand! Thank you for the work, in me, that you want to do! I'd be totally lost right now. If not for YOU! You are all that I could hope for! All I ever needed! With you in my heart… My life is totally completed! You've brought me strength and peace within! I love you so much! I don't know where to begin! You'll be there for me! Even when everything seems lost! You sacrificed your life for mine, by your death on the cross! Yes! Victory over my darkest hour has been overcome! By the power of God! And his risen son! Thank you Jesus! In you, my life is totally secure! You'll always take care of me! That's for sure! By Jim Pemberton
The world, once a seemingly small place, expands and grows with you. Bigger, more vast, scarier. How is one to find their place? Searching for motivation--forward momentum, I crumble. I sink into the abyss that is my life. Smaller, more secluded, scarier. I scream, but no one hears me. This is what it feels like to be one mere person. A dot in the universe. Smaller. Ah, I rebut. I refuse to go unnoticed. I refuse to live a life afraid of chance. I refuse to not make my mark in the world. I run, head first, towards the bigger, most vast and scarier. I welcome myself to the unknown. I look fear in the eyes. I search; For my place, my purpose, my mark.
These pass years, I have been in a quest.. There are times I want to stop but I guess.. If steps and risks aren't taken, I'll be waste.. Thus, I try and try slowly not in haste.. To become a Saint, one must be chaste.. To become a hero, must death be faced? To become renown, must fame be chase? However, to be love, must one be on same race? Building long lasting & steadfast relationships.. Will require from you more than stewardship.. Even more than a deal of companionship.. And more than just friendship.. It takes the right time... Sometimes months extending to years.. Or a whole of a lifetime.. Only God knows yet stay on cheer.. By: olive_eloi 5:29pm 10/10/2013

Time is passing by in a toll.. My heart aches as I recall . How could I have easily fall.. To somebody so different and tall.. each day and night, I'm alive. All, I'm doing good is to strive . When will that arrive? Living to my dreams, my drive.. You uttered words seemingly true.. Thus, I learn to trust you bieu.. Thought, It could be us -- I and you.. Yet, I was wrong to take such cue.. Freeing from a built barricade.. I plea: "please stop the charade.." I do not want to bargain nor trade.. Avoiding signs to be left afraid.. Not quitting... Not quitting... by: olive_eloi sept. 22, 2013 9:32pm
Beloved Alphas Welcome legged little alphas happily running through this page Doubt threatened to en-sneer Wanted to tangled my dreams with fears All up in the rafters of impatience as if I'd let negativity stray alas not this day come little alphas to the shore with me I'll promise to smile as you play In the sunshine of this summer day All of us lounging on the bay You've maintained sanity Threatened by unpunctuality MY beloved little alphas here we'll sit rejecting those illusions of fear How dare I waste imagination on what may or may not be Fear you can't hold me If I let you you'd scold me Instead I'll let divinity mold me I'm the creator's child destined for greatness Each fiber permeated with blessings Success In this moment I claim YOU I see you out at sea Gingerly washing towards me years filled with abundance through writing for this each night I pray for that fateful day when I live my life on my terms MY way
He is like sugar in a cake; spices in gravy; DNA in our bodies; He is inside air, and outside air; He never comes nor leaves; He is not in the heavens, nor deep in the abyss; He is the past, present, future and eternity; He is All…..
There is a place, a magical wonderland that sits at the end of your mind, and everybody dead and living goes there when they are tired. It is a place that is special and is diffrent to stand to your approval. It is a nighttime wonder only open from eleven to five and you can only come, if you truely believe. It is a place where the streets are paved gold, peace runs through every corner and avenue, no jails, no hospitals because there is no crime and no sickness. The skies are always blue, and the clouds are all white, the sun is blazing hot and the woman all give you a wink of an eye and all blow you kisses, where the men want to be you, and where the women want to sleep with you. It is a nighttime wonder, a special place, in the back of your mind. It is real, not imaginary, nothing is fake about this place, this is where dreams come true, where there are no cancers, headaches, toothaches, no wars, no enemies, no hangovers, no schools, no politicians, no lawyers, no greed, no sin, no temptation, no demons or devils; everything is beautiful, and everything grand. A piece of Heaven on Earth. Everyone is happy, all with a smile on their face, not a frown in sight. Songs are sung with the most beautiful of voices and the sweetest of songs sung. This place is a nighttime wonder. When you tuck yourself under the sheets, grab your pillow, or girlfriend, or boyfriend husband or wife, or even your favorite stuffed friend, we all go to this special nighttime wonderland. A place of joy, a place of happiness, a place where you go to forget and enjoy, a mini vacation. Till that alarm clock's annyoing buzz comes on and pulls you out of that nighttime wonder and places you back into reality.

I write of a dream Out of the body, alive in the spirit It begin on a slipping bare field Intriguingly, there is nothing to shield A feeling of fear run through me As the enemy approaches A mass of fearful thoughts As the foe runs across Running, racing, gasping for breath Climbing steeper slopes Running endless races Racing to dreadful places For one glorious moment It dawned on me I can fly I can fly on wings of Angels? Even on wings of archangels? Then comes a voice…Echoing Come on fly!...Come up higher! In awe! My feet was high above the ground This left the enemy confound I begin to soar and to glide like an Eagle High up am safe and secure! High up I can reach for the stars! High up I can reach for the mars!! And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come Up Here [Higher]". And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them [no more]. Revelation 11:12
What think you now my tortured friend? That thy clothes you fiercely rent Through painful eyes and tearful cries You feel you must repent Do thoughts of past that hold you fast Bring pain that will not cease? Does guilt from acts and evil pacts Provide your heart no ease? Is it your secrets of the past For which you must repent? You think that guilt is your reward For how your life was spent? You must not fret, you must forget The pain of things gone by The pain you feel that will not heel And makes you want to die The force of fate has pushed you To do the things you've done It's your karma that has pulled you To what can't be undone There is no blame there is no shame To learn from your mistakes But learn you must, your peace to earn For that is what it takes It is not yours to sorrow For every lesson that you've learned Is one step closer to perfection That your growing soul has earned Do you not know we're here to grow Your guilt is their control Take back your life to ease your strife Be master of your soul Your soul's on Jacobs ladder And goes from life to life Each lesson here provides you Relief from pain and strife You have your life before you And a mission to fulfill Fulfill your dreams, your joyful schemes Maintain a steely will There is no sin, it's in your mind It's yours to take or leave You bring it on with thoughts impure You reap as you believe So go your way beloved friend Choose to do your best from now Do as you please and hurt no one Your God within will show you how Forgive yourself the future's yours Just do the best you can Do lofty deeds, fulfill your needs And you will be a better man
Jesus… Your name brings sweetness on my tongue! My soul soaks in your love… Like a dry sponge! My soul continues to hunger and thirst! Until I let you reign in my life! Always first! I give my life to you! On my knees I yield! YOU are my rock, fortress and shield! You're my protection! A sure foundation! For only in you is there TRUE salvation! By Jim Pemberton
God Asked; "Come Unto Me…" God called my name…. I didn't know what to expect! The words he spoke. I won't forget! What he said to me…. I remember so vividly. I woke me up in the night so unexpectedly! As I heard the words, I jumped out of bed. I wanted to hear what my Lord said. He spoke, and wanted me to follow him! I decided to obey and trust him as my friend! What he desired, was to have a servant's heart! He was there for me! Right from the start! My worldly possessions… I left behind! A new treasure in Christ… I did find! Many of my "past habits" began to leave me! As I felt God's awesome love all around me! My life and attention were now decided. Everything I needed... God provided! I chose to follow him 100 percent! Fellowship with my creator, is time well spent! He's my blessed savior and I am his! And is with me each day I live! Won't you beckon his spirit's call? Living for Jesus makes it worth it all! By Jim Pemberton
What This World Can Never Give… What this world can never give, is life eternal! Jesus can guarantee your name, in heaven's journal! The world can never bring to you, what Christ can give! Jesus will never fail you, and can give a reason to live! This world can promise you a whole "field of dreams." But can never give the joy and peace that only Jesus brings! The world shall one day be totally destroyed within! Only Christ can help you! And will always be your friend! Heaven and earth shall one day pass! God's word is forever! Christ loves you so much! You can be with him, together! Won't you follow Jesus? And leave this world behind you? Allow his Holy Spirit and love, to totally surround you! Take this world! But give me Jesus! Is this your plea? Won't you make plans to be with him, for all eternity? By Jim Pemberton
Do you think of yourself…, But not others? Do you take the time for your sisters and brothers? The way that you live, people may wonder. Is there a tendency to, put some "down under?" You don't know everyone's problems…. Don't act as if you do. Only God knows their hearts... Not you! Jesus loves everyone A LOT! Pray for others and think Godly thoughts! Didn't the same Jesus die both for you and me? Will those you meet, have a home in eternity? Don't give up on people…. We all deserve a chance! We should love one another... beyond any "circumstance." How will you treat others…, When all seems lost? Christ left the 99 sheep to find the one which was lost. Often, the "unlovable people" need love and attention... If being a Christ follower, is truly your intention... By Jim Pemberton
Jesus Christ Went Above And Beyond! Jesus Christ went above and beyond! He forgave all of my sins and wrongs! He loved me! When nothing else mattered! He picked me up, when my life was chattered! He gave me his life, when no one else could! All of my sins and failures, he understood! He's blessed me, with his love and assurance! And gave me salvation! His eternal "life insurance!" He's given me strength, and all I needed! With all that he's given, my life is completed! He rescued me from the awful pit of sin. And brought hope to my life, once again! He's given me a love, that I never had! I gave him my life! I am so glad! To Jesus… I'm forever thankful and grateful! He's my guiding light, and an awesome example! His word helps me to have victory today! And guides me, along life's narrow way! This same Jesus can do the same for you! The opportunity is here! What will you do? Friendship with Jesus! HE brings life divine! I'm so blessed, that he's a friend of MINE! By Jim Pemberton
Some times People comes in our life When we are lease expected And some thing special, about them Spreads over us and gets us infected It was just an ordinary day Nothing different, nothing strange But didn't know before the night was over That everything was going to change And it all was just by mistake Nothing hidden or in disguise It was right there in plain view The gift of friendship in front my eyes Sometime angel's disguise as people And people comes disguise as angels Which ever one she came as Tonight I really cannot tell All I know is god is everywhere And only open eyes can see a miracle And it takes special people to inspires us To highs we never though was reachable Since having you as my friend My life has risen to a higher greater level And it's true that the people around us Will shape the path that we will travel Simple words of encouragement Can find and open the close hidden doors And can make us search in my hearts To find the person that was lost before And it's just the simple things Like that you would do And special friends like you In this world are very rear and few And this isn't about love I swear It's about your act of kindness Because of you now My life longer feels worthless Some friendships only last for a while In your life many friends will pass thought I know our friendship will last a life time For I can never find a friend special like you The rain is a blessing from god upon us That gives us life and make the flowers grew And I must have done some good deed For god to send a friend special like you Our friend ship and meeting was written By the hands of the almighty And the roads of uncertainty that awaits ahead They can no longer frighten me For the dark corners that I find my self in A light of hope will come shining thru And that light my beautiful friend Is the kindness from the heart of you
Life is too short to be lived and only one we get. So cheer up always and don't live it with your eyes wet. Try to scatter the pearls of smile all around you. As pains are short-lived,for dark times as dew. Make yourself detach from every negative thought. Forget every moment when you were sad or fought. Real pleasure of life is experienced only by smiling face. As smile comes when you prove yourself & win life's race. Inspite of being best,you should learn to be good first. 'What can i learn from him?' this should be your thirst. Never hate others for the things they have not. But love them for the qualities that they have got. Failures never come to desperate or make you weep. They come to teach us how to stand before we leap. What we lost is not as important as what we are going to gain. Work hard without losing hope as your efforts never go in vain. Tension,tears,sadness these all kill your precious time. Prefer sweetnesss of happiness & coolness to the sour lime. So always be happy and try to be the reason for someone to please. Now relax your mind & atlast click your smile by saying 'cheese'..
God speaks peace to life's stormy seas! He brings quietness and a "gentle breeze." He calms the raging waters and says; "peace be still!" This is what he wants for you! And his will! He brings victory to the battles within… And takes away the darkest of sins! He's what you need! This very hour! He wants to do this for you! He has the power! He's our refuge! A present help in trouble! Though the oceans shake and mountains rumble! Why not steer into God's harbor of safety during this time? You'll find he is loving, caring and kind! He's is calling you now! And knocks at your door! What In the world… Are you waiting for??? By Jim Pemberton

Is Your Foundation of Life Being Destroyed? Very seldom do I hear any complaints. Regarding the lacking of moral restraints. It seems like many are under some kind of a "spell." What's right or wrong? Many can't even tell! Where are the moral leaders this nation needs? As the heart of this nation continually bleeds. Many churches provide very little discretion. Pretending to be Godly… Yet little Biblical direction! No wonder many people don't know what to believe. A lifestyle of lying, drugs and sex is what they achieve. In their lives, they have no "moral boundary." Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry." To those of you who want satisfaction and victory too... There is a "moral compass" that's freely offered to you! " God's word is a solid foundation! Which speaks of HIS love and his gift of salvation! If your life is filled with hurt, and has no true meaning. It's in the direction of Jesus you need to be leaning! You don't have to live in despair and defeat! Jesus' grace and love can make you complete! By Jim Pemberton
God Can Bring Hope, When There Is None! I heard of another "hopeless" situation. This one needed a divine intervention! A person with no way out of what they're into. Any kind of love? They don't know how to! God has given to us his principles of living. But hate vs. hate, is often what we're giving! It's no wonder why some people seem hopeless. They often haven't been shown God's kindness! They often make decisions without knowing… The path of abundant life, God's word is showing! God can take any hopelessness or despair… And replace it with his mercy and care! He can restore, a life's "dead end road." He's here to help, with out "heavy load!" Won't you allow him to bring hope and healing? He brings a true purpose and meaning! His son Jesus can bring a love, you never had! Even when you seem discouraged and sad! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus, for what you've done! In you, a brand new person, we all can become! By Jim Pemberton 06/17/13
Action ...intention Is starting point To a remarkable Outcome. 17/5/2013 Inspired by Richard Lamoureux Cinqku poems. And Specially dedicated to him.
Here I am Jesus! Please use me! I know that you'll never refuse me! I ask you to fill me with your compassion… Even if this seems "old fashioned!" This world is lost and dying without you! There's so many that really need you! May I be an instrument in reaching out… This is what being your child is all about! You are the potter... I am the clay. Please give me the words to say! Touching others, I know is your will! May I listen to your spirit, and be still. Teach me to be your light, as I go along. In your arms of strength, I do belong! May others be stirred from God above… Help me to be an example of your love! To be used by God is an honor and joy... HE gives eternal life for all to enjoy! By Jim Pemberton

God is merciful, with love and kindness! He brings his majesty, in wholesome brightness! He is powerful and his holiness he brings! He is omnipotent and rules over everything! All praise and glory through Jesus his son! He's brought victory over sin! The battle is won! Let's give him our hearts and make it clear… The return of our Lord draws ever so near!

We all wear a mask No matter how we shape or mold it It stays the same way even with a slight change For the mask is a part of us Just as we are part of the mask When we hide a hidden side Deep within our hearts It becomes a shadow Something we try to deny Something to forget But it always comes back to haunt us Trying to engulf us in its darkness To show others what their really like As they keep denying it gets stronger Shifting and molding into something terrifying The shadow becomes a beast A monster of our dark side Because we've denied it For thinking it isn't a part of us But it is a part of us Like we are a part of it The only way to combat it Is to accept it as it is For that shadow is you You are the shadow Your persona that is in your heart Don't be afraid Just face it Show no fear Accept it The shadow is you You are the shadow You wear the mask Wearing the mark On your heart Once you accept it It becomes a great ally A powerful persona Right by your side Always there to help you When things get tough Most important of all Never forget the friends That help you through The hard times you face For they will help you They are the light in your darkness A shining glow at the end of the tunnel A hand extended out to grab you If you are to fall They will be there for you We must learn to accept ourselves For who we are Hiding our other selves Will just make problems grow Just be yourself Be proud of who you are As you wear the mask Keeping your head up With full confidence Your persona is a special one Never forget that It is your ally Your friend Your other half Your shadow Most of all Your mask Its your persona Be proud of it As it is proud of you To accept it as it is
I Want to Give God My Best! I told God I want to give him my best! He said to trust him to care of the rest! I asked him; "where is a good place to start?" He said; "Come to me with a humble heart!" I confessed to him my sins the best I could… Everything I've done. He already understood! He called my name and whispered into my ear… And said; "I am with you!" "I am always here!" It was like his hand reached down and touched me! I could hear him say how much he loves me! I was so excited, I called on Jesus' name! Since then, things have never been the same! Giving him my best was what I decided! His best for me… He had already provided! He's my protector, defender and my shield! To his spirit's will, I want to daily yield! He's my solid rock! Like the rock of Gibraltar! Everything that I have… I bring to HIS altar! My best for God's best is what I've given! Now his love blesses me, each day I'm livin'! By Jim Pemberton
There is something about photos... They freeze a moment's time forever. You see decades as though it were yesterday. Images of good memories shine in our hearts, like fresh roses in spring. Photographs capture emotions in an instant, disclosing envious eyes, secret admirers, and lasting friends. A photo is a single jigsaw puzzle that unravels many secrets. By: Teddy Kimathi Choice of Motif: Philosophical
Little girl With her visions and prayers... Suffering in silence from endless nightmares. A broken family So much responsibility... Hurting deep inside so other's can't see. Giant, gentle eyes Penetrate the soul The little girl sees more than anyone knows. Empathic virtues Create bountiful waves Breaking these chains the pitiful enslaves Wide open heart Locked up and jailed pride She's able to let go of her anger inside. Unable to stay Trapped in time She knew to go forward, she had to stop 'rewind' Frozen for a moment The ice melts away The sun warms her heart in a motherly way. Infinite excuses Become lessons learned Gratitude is given, and so it is earned Innocent little girl, All hope invested in Heaven Learned the secret of her life before she was 7 Her lesson was hard Fighting darkness with a match Finding the spark that ignites with nothing to scratch But through all the bad She searched for the good And finally she found it upon where she stood So listen to me close And take this seriously I know for a fact this is fact...because that little girl... was me.
I'm so very glad that Jesus lifted me! And am grateful that he also set me free! I'm grateful of the happiness he brought! And know that he loves me, a whole lot! I'm also thankful, for the life that he brings! He understands me! And can do anything! I hope that you'll take some time today. Spending time alone with him, and pray! He rewards those who earnestly seek him! Won't you give him a chance? And receive him? This same Jesus, also wants to help you! Won't you open your heart, and let him touch you? By Jim Pemberton 08/15/13
I love you as my friend.. You make me laugh & smile when I'm sad. You lend me a shoulder when I'm bad. You keep me up whenever I'm down. I love you as my friend.. We share anything through thick and thin.. We correct each other in every sin.. Still, we maintain such friendship dear.. I love you as my friend.. Thus, I wish however things may end.. We remain true and undeafeatable trend.. Breaking and surpassing curves and bend.. By: olive_eloi sept. 15, 2013 4:34pm
I sit down in each class As time rolls past Think my life is one big hour glass For no test knows my dream No quiz knows my future Of all this are you sure Is it all what is seems? Do we question this path? And face society's wrath? Of a world built on papers With faceless names Without that paper Would we face the shame? Should we slave away On these classes for which we pay? Or do we step aside And in ourselves we confined So not to measure our success By a title on our desk But the satisfaction we receive Because only then will I believe That the world is not full of faceless papers But a clay ball and we are the shapers
I am tired of people making excuses And giving love a bad name When they lie, cheat, be unfaithful Then say love is to blame Love is really inspirational And love is pure and innocent Its god's gift to mankind From heaven true love was sent Loneliness, rejections, betrayal hurts Some confuses these with love when hurting But love is the only thing that takes away the pain And makes us breathe and feel alive again Love is the most beautiful, amazing feeling If can make you fly like an eagle so high Love is the reason we wake in the morning Love only bring tears of joy to your eyes They say that love is blind But that is not true In fact love can see quite well It's why it bring me to you Life is a lot of hard work And love gives us strength to continue Love shines a light on the future And plays a big part in all that we do But some use love to hurt others Some hearts are made of stone And blame it on love When they are miserable and alone Love is just a game to others And for some love is everything Some say I love you, just to use you And we blame love when in pains Crying, cursing, condemning love But never blame the person who sucks For giving love a bad name Because in true honesty Love really rocks Love never hurt any one Its people who hurt people everyday Love is not the reason there is pain Love only comes to take the hurting away Love is a blessing on us Love is not a prison, rather a bond Love is honest, strong and magical That makes two hearts beats as one Life is like a ship on a voyage Taking us to the edge of the unknown And the seeds that we have planted Won't always be the fruits that's grown And people will continue To abuse the meaning of love But when some one truly loves us It's our gift from the heavens above Love stays with you against all odds For true love is for infinity I wish to be hug by the girl I love From now until eternity When we will find our self's alone Standing out on jagged rocks Just remember not to blame love For love rocks and people sucks
The Dance My mother died some time ago And God took her away, To begin her dance with Jesus That continues to this day She wasn't her old self that day, Her memories had flown He invited mom's new self to dance, And the Father took her home Mom never was a dancer That I ever heard her claim, But the steps she does with Jesus Would put Fred Astaire to shame Perfect mind in perfect love, With perfect memory, As she whirls and twirls with The Lord of the Dance, And waits with Him for me My Brother's up there with her, I'm sure he cheers her on, And does a jig or two himself When Heaven plays the song My other brother's with me still, And our sweet sister too, The three of us with our dear dad, Believe all this is true Mom is up there dancing, All over Canaan Land, Perfect in the arms of Jesus, As He strikes up the band
What If We Had Prayer In Schools Today? What if we had prayer in schools today? And the students were allowed to pray? What if the students read their Bible in class? Perhaps they'd have a foundation that would last! What if the students, in the classrooms, across this nation… Knew that Jesus can make them a NEW creation! Isn't it about time that we invite God into our schools? Instead of living by our own set of rules? Isn't it about time that we confess our wayward sins? And allow God into our lives… Once again??? Isn't it about time that we call on Jesus' name? Only he can remove all of our sin and shame! Isn't it about time that we think about our eternity? And find true love and joy! And a godly security! Isn't it about time that we get on our knees in prayer? And talk to a loving God who listens and cares? The time for change, we need to understand! We need a Godly revival across our land! We need to listen and follow God's instructions! Or we'll soon find our society's destruction! God is the only one that we can depend on! His word is what our nation must stand on! By Jim Pemberton
The world is very easy though too tough! it'll make u cry, it'll make u laugh, and shape your thoughts to destroy you all. you ought to be clever, you ought to be smart, you ought to be bold, these are the things, that'll prevent your fall. The world is full of obvious things, that nobody ever observes. we keep finding ways, to win over the world, though we always fail. Men are suffering, men are dying, but they never observe, that the most obvious way, is to fight with their own. God has Planned everything for us, yeah! it's true. but the result to a situation, may sometimes be harsh, sometimes it may, broke us apart. We got to be bold, we got to fight, we got to mend our own ways, and how we observe, we got to put all our effort, everything on stake, as The Plan can be changed, for what we Deserve.
The Ashanti, of Ghana, say that "rain beats down upon a leopard skin, but it doesn't remove the spots". Methinks that right they are, if we imagine rain as everyday challenges, risks and dangers, and leopard skin as our inborn faith. As long as we look upon God as our "shield", we will always be "dry", as we walk in this path that we call life; a journey with no end......
Circumstances, we must live through.. it maybe happy or sad; even people untrue. Pray unceasingly,God cares and dears.. He understands; provides and hears... offer praises and gratitude to Him.. even in abstract not without theme.. Trust our God, He will in everyway redeem.. One Unbeatable above all God, never a scheme.. by: olive_eloi SEPT. 06, 2013 12:53pm dedicate to: all believers to one God ---:grateful me to my one and only LIVING GOD..
Trying to gather up your senses, to make the faint memory better. render the logical to illogical, winds up totally bitter to the last taste. shattered thoughts of mirror expressions; imprinted suggestion, with a long lasting impression, dulls your wits about, intoxicates your blood clot! purely leaves you questioning, is this the right kind of reasoning? like a distant faint total recall, you wind up with the struggling toll, The unreal fascade of recollection.
How Do I Know That I've Been Blessed? How do I really know that I've been blessed? Throughout life, I've tried to receive the "best!" I've experienced the pleasure of "good things." And have received whatever joy they may bring! But whatever I've tried, even if it's brand new… They don't always give the "pleasure" they promise to do! There's many things, I thought had "blessed" me. But they end up greatly disappointing me! Wherever I go… And the many places I've been... Their "attraction," always come to an end! The true blessings in life are not what I've achieved. Or the great many things that I have received! The real blessings that I have recently discovered… Is asking for the blood of Jesus, to have my life "covered!" His blood can bring a true cleansing deep within… And brings me the joys of being BORN AGAIN! The blessings of God, is what I need to surround me! For I once was utterly lost! But Jesus found me! Glory to God! For the eternal blessings he's given! He's totally changed me! And the way I'm livin'! I know that I am blessed! For Christ lives in me! I'm building up treasures… For eternity!

On the path of tears I look back to learn from past mistakes and sorrows. One foot steps forward then two slip back. My inspiration comes in the faces of family, in the memories from within. The earth's layers crack beneath me. The sky in color moves above me steering my spirit as it rises and falls with my breath. On the long journey, God whispers in a song on the breeze. I search hills and valleys for enlightenment. I look back to learn from past burdens and struggles on the path of tears. Loved ones are remembered as new friends come take my hand. The aged weaken and die with a kiss and new life is nurtured. My inspiration comes in the beauty of creation, the earth and sky and the miracle of life - all in motion around me. In the clearings, my final destination comes into view, surrounded by light, a place to call home, divine inspiration. At the end of the path, I look back to learn, I have no regrets. Love is the true inspiration. God wipes my tears. By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, June 5, 2012 for Inspiration Contest (Diane Christian)
Test me, O Lord, and try me. Examine my heart and mind! I trust you o Lord. You're so loving and kind! Your love is ever before me, I shall walk in your truthful ways! It is my prayer and desire to honor you all of my days! I will not sit with deceitful men, or those hypocritical of your name! You are the God who is powerful! And will bring them all to shame! I shall proclaim aloud of your praise, and tell of your wonderful deeds! For you have given me everything, And supplies all of my needs!

Samson Of the Bible From the Bible, is the story of Samson. He lived an incredible life that really happened! He was to be a Nazrite, and set apart! His hair was to grow long, from the start! He was to deliver Israel from their enemy throughout! This was what his mission was all about! He destroyed the lion and bear with his bare hands! And sent burning foxes throughout the enemy lands! He destroyed a thousand! With the jawbone of an ass! God had given him such an incredible task! With his strength, came temptation's call! And soon, his whole life took a fall! The strength from God had departed from him! Now, there was no one who could help him! Ridiculed and mocked, he became a slave. He couldn't free himself, no matter what he gave. He was brought before the Philistine's temple. Mocked and whipped to set as an example. He cried out to God, for help that hour… God gave him the strength and the power! The temple came crashing down all around him! Now, there was just rubble that surround him! May this be a lesson, that speaks to me and you! God is not fooled, no matter what we try to do! We can act like we have everything we needed! Without God, our life is never completed! May we not compromise what God has given! And walk in his strength, each day we're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
Holly As I look deep into her eyes. I see the love waiting there. Like the most beautiful sunrise. It warms my soul and removes the chill from the air. She lifts my spirits with just a simple smile. She heals my heart with her warm embrace. She helps me forget my worries for a while. She does all this with her style and grace. All too often I let the world get me down. She seems to share all the pain I feel inside. It breaks her heart to see me frown. She's the only one whom I can confide. She found me in the dark. She led me to the light. When my world was torn apart, she held me so tight. She is my Reason She is my Purpose She is my Life. In fond dedication to my wife Holly ^^

Silent and still, our wasted strength waited for the dawn to pry open day's magnificent creation. We waited for morning's breath to kiss the daylight into us and take the star-light from our eyes. You were a contagious infliction for which there was no cure. We were two lovers laying in the wilderness, comprising the night.
As shadows dance in the night I pray for a light to shine bright Words to guide and protect me You have a gift can't you see? Whispers cut in the dark Doubts creep in to cut and tear Words will guide and protect me You have a gift won't you see? Misguided intentions become inventions Of the mind heart and soul Must believe words can guide me and protect me You are the gift wish all would see… Beacon of light shining bright…
i don't fear if someday i pass away since i left after me something to stay i do not have wealth; and i lost my health i gave all i had,i spilled out my breath i watched the skies,i played with the guys i ran barefoot,i browsed the deepest wood i saw death taking every single ones' breath if you are spared then,you wait for bad fate pains and sorrows lurking at your doorway the omen says you have to write to live or may be you have to ache everyday if not your words, then its your life to give God gave such a feel that i'm living,still untill the day,my feeling stop to spill i'll thank God for having mercy on me and farewell ;the dust of earth suits me
The day we will apart, and go too far, We will be forgotten where we are, Love emotions will never survive forever, Air absorb the smoke from burning bar, Beauty of love, purity of sincere ness, Will become ancient tale of fairness, Walking on footpath, sitting across road, Time turns these all into foggy memoir cheerless, Cold breeze turns to warm blow, where we will apart, soul wander to and fro, Tears of pain, fear of gone, Carry on, silent stream flow, Hurting of being alone, Is like a flower with single thorn, Miserable farewell made me alive dead, Might we never born, Panicked memories seems so teasing, But tiny flame of reminiscence will remain blazing, If the ray of hope is alive, We will never get too far, though amazing.

Far away, across the sea, Lies a land of mystery. No streets of stone can there be found, No paved roads along the ground. A jungle holds these things at bay, Only a native can lead the way, To the riches at its heart. Yet from the very, very start, One begins to wonder and to think, As through the leaves the sunlight winks, With the wonders that appear along the way, Why anyone would want to stray, All the way into the heart, And just with material riches depart.
I wont lose a moments sleep over the loss of you, I will not miss the broken promises shattered dreams and lies, You took my heart on a journey that left me homeless, Root-bound, empty, I was given over by the luster the sparkle in your eyes, But now I see you for what you really are….. My false self, my brokenness, my twisted world view, The whispered doubt in the ears of a child, No longer have you sway over me, I have been convinced of the truth seen in the eyes of forgivness, The door to the hidden places kicked down by fierce Love, I am free, I am free, I am free. Now you flee, now you flee, now you flee, Your not me, your not me, your not me, But the delusion's of a phantom life,
Jesus Is Concerned About YOU! Jesus is concerned about YOU! The struggles you face… the trials you're going through! When trials in life begin to arise… Think about the love in your father's eyes. With every trial… Jesus makes a way to escape He's here to help you! Never a moment too late! When life's problems seem so difficult to solve… Give them to him! He's there to resolve… The future may be uncertain in the days ahead. But Jesus is the river of life… And your daily bread! By Jim Pemberton
Many times we set our priorities right, but fail because of not waiting for Nature to take its course We look at the stars for answers which can only be answered by our present actions and different reactions through time We look for quick solutions to problems with our own understanding, yet it is a slow-boat-to-China paced meditation that gives us a vision of what to do correctly and effortlessly ……….And by meditation, we realize that everything in the Universe is connected by the web of Patience To blossom to a rose, a bud will have to wait for days To soar in the skies once again, an eagle will have to persevere the pain of plucking out its old feathers in the glaring Sun, and also break its old beak against the still, silent rocks, then later wait for its rebirth as the King of the skies with new wings and a new, powerful beak To become a beautiful, radiant butterfly, a caterpillar will have to turn into a pupa If we want to enjoy a clear, night sky of constellations and a happy moon, we'll have to wait for daytime to end To become better people, we'll have to pass through the seas of mediocrity and challenges in order to understand our selves more, and fulfill our role as spiritual beings I know it is hard to wait, but the fruits of Patience are worth it NB: The poem is featured in my book, "Painting of Life in Poetry"
The tire was flat Imagine that What should we do Call AAA was all he could say Afraid to break out a jack did not want his fingers black He said "I pay them top dollar" I was not impressed He did not know how, I guessed Where are all the real men I do not want Barbies Ken A strong secure man is what I need That holds me tight in his arms and sets off alarms A man that is not PC Speaks fluently Not a limp biscuit Firm handle on my rear Kisses that get me in gear
You had your side of the road, I had mine. You walked with friends, I walked alone. Occasionally you all threw stones across the road, aiming them my way. I'd do my best to dodge them. Occasionally, you'd yell ugly mean things across it at me. I'd put in my headphones. You'd pass several strangers, telling them ugly things about me that weren't true... just because I walked alone, differently than you. Eventually, the road ended and we were left standing face to face. Up close, you actually look human that I almost forget... almost... but I remember the days when the road ran between us. I still carry the scars from your sharp stones. And just because this road ended, doesn't mean the pain did. My scars from the sharp stones you threw didn't go away with the road. Just because you think you've learned, doesn't mean you won't have karma to pay. So while you stand there and stare, frozen in regret, pretending you were never the sidewalk bully, waiting for them to pave a new way for you, I'm moving forward... barefoot in the grass... at last.
Set free the caged dreams and ambitions, let it swing freely alongside with inspiration into the freeborn kingdom of stardom. But this is frighteningly difficult, because the free will that freely stimulates the free world of the freethinker, rich, poor, arrogant and elephant minded humans, has out-weighted the stimulus of human free ideology, to freely understand, conceive knowledge, and regulate in times of freezing stress. This has freely transformed most humans into free-floating educated duckling, living as freelance hustlers, in an untitled free world, Where the wise: freely fish less, but catch more, freely hustle less, but gather more, freely talk less, but solve more, freely take less, but give more, freely run less, but arrival fast While the fool: freely eat with the longest spoon, but still stave of starvation, freely move with the wisest idea, but still sink, freely hustle more, but tumble fast, freely run and act fast, but shun fast, freely have the most stardom, but still lack absolute freedom. Freeing Freedom, Is freely achieved, by nesting patiences, control, and not aggressively wrestling life; But by having the tendency to bullying struggle, and make it dropout of college. Freeing freedom, Is freely achieved, by adding more strength in developing intellectual power, free-living, and free acceptance of who you really are, rather than that of rage and free falling into discontent aggression. Freeing freedom, Is freely achieved, by forever caging doubt, and letting inspiration free-for-all like free vote, and also letting love run innocently barefooted into the gates of Bill Gates brain, to reap inspirational freedom.

Every day I will excel, Where I end up, Only time will tell, I hope to succeed in life's hardest times, And keep my problems inside these rhymes, Every missed moment is the shutting of a door, Luckily I know that will open plenty more, The chances I've gotten in the past, They don't tend to stay, They don't tend to last, The future ahead can be very bright, So much of course I may lose my sight, But only of course if I stare too long, I need to take action, I can't go about it wrong, The goal is to focus on the task at hand, My attitude will not turn bad, I will take a stand…
I thought I lost What made me unique Torn from my heart, Locked away in a box With no key to open the lock. Lost within my thoughts, A well with a drought Mine felt half empty It nearly ran out. The nostalgia of my youth The clue to learning the truth, Reflecting in a mirror To see things clearer. Just need to take a step back To reflect on my past Recollect what I knew Remember the things I've loved That made who I am. Then it came to me Like a spark of a flame That grew into a fire Started to rise within me. A special glow of the heart Deep within the soul Luminous light from within Shining bright like the sun. Glowing brighter than before Helping me to unlock the door What was once lost long ago Is now found once again Stronger than before. Fears blowing away in the wind Worries wash down the river No more holding back Going to take the leap. No need to hide myself Time to test my limits To learn what I can do I won't know until I try. Trust the glow within To lead me down the path Dreams waiting to take flight Ready to make the jump. Free to be myself No more hiding Let the glow shine For the world to see.
My Little Boy Lost by Katherine Huffman Hello? My son, are you here? I can't see you, I can't find you, why aren't you near? As I walk the streets in search of you, I feel a pull, a tug, not sure what to do. I passed the park as I looked for my boy, Even passed our play spot, but in my sight, not even a toy. After everywhere I thought that I could go, There was one place, but it can't be right, this is all I know. Hello? My son, are you here? I can't see you, can't find you, Why can't I feel you near? This evening begins as I lay to rest my head, There are some things I'm unsure of, Like making your tiny bed. Oh God, whats happening, haven't I counted your toes? What about cradling your head or kissing your little nose? What are these things I am unsure of, have I even done? Where are you, where are you my precious son? Mommy lays here, in tears, her face on something cold. Where are you my son, it's you I need to hold. I've searched all day, it's turning into night, I'm tired, I'm lost, but I still won't give up this fight. My eyes start to close, slumber is far too near If I fall asleep, I may miss seeing you my dear. Next thing I know, as I wake to the sun. Wondering what it is, what has been done? As I sit, my eyes focus, I start to look around. Then, for some reason, they are drawn to the ground. As I look, I see what has become, This can't be, what's happening, where am I my son? That cold my face last night laid upon, Was a marker, with your name, Of your body my little one. Those things I wasn't sure if I'd ever done, Were but the memories, I'd hoped to make with you my son. You were here, I know you were here My beautiful, precious son. You were in mommies arms, such a little one. As though it were as simple as reading a book, I start to realize These tangled webs have become unhooked. That tug, that pull that led your mommy here, It was your spirit, it was your soul, It was your heart my little dear. Here you were, here you were, Right with me, so very near. My little boy, my son, Mommies little one was here. You see? You led me where I needed to go. For it was well past the time, To accept this I know. I feel a tug, I feel a pull. I feel like I need to hurry, Like I have to go. There is someone I remember, I need to get to I know. He's a small one, a little boy. He's your brother, my son, He's pulling, he's tugging, Needing mommy my little one. I have to leave, I have to go, To find my baby, my son. Oh Thank You my boy, For bringing me here. For letting my mind begin to see clear. You showed me the way, I now see the light. I am so close, so near in this dark night. So here you are, here you are, With mommy, my baby is so very near. You are in my heart, my mind, And this little brother of yours, my dear. My little boy lost, my little boy lost, it's you I have found. You were there with me, as I slept on that ground. Hello? My son, are you here? I can see you, mommy found you, In my arms I hold you so near. I've bathed you, I've clothed you, And cradled your head. I counted your toes, I bent in and kissed that little nose. As you fell asleep in your bed. Without him, Would these be memories we are making my dear? Without him would mommy, Be able to hold you so near? We have a little angel to watch over us for all nights. In spirit, with us, his soul, Our endless guiding light. He's your big brother, my son, my precious little one. He's right here, a part of you, Never again to be gone. My little boy lost, my little boy lost, It's you, I can see. I have to Thank You For guiding me!
The silent water gives a lot of message The flowing water exert the pressure of courage when the drop of water is caught in stones and mud It gives message how to move ahead like a flying bird..!!! When the water is falling from the tip of mountain It inspires, if you lose but success you must gain Never leave the path kill all the thorn And say cheerfully that, the success is own Water is not only a river but an ideal Learn it and be the best among people..!!!
She holds his hand In support she takes his stand She holds his fears Inside her tears When she cries for her man Who inhabits a spiritual land. She winces at his pain When flesh and blood fail him Again and again And the critical arctic blasts That bring a coldness in his soul Try to freeze his bones until they cannot move. The headlights flow into each other Heading home after locking the late night door He stares down the headlights Then looks into the future Across the centre, she holds his tired hand again Knowing the highway will never end. The curtains light up again She puts a brew at the side of his bed He turns the page and refreshes his spirit And drinks in some heavenly wisdom Spirit to spirit, Man to man, Deep unto deep Here he goes again, so here she goes again too. Refreshed, refocused, reassured Their bones thaw Their spirits are full They embrace their source But she'll keep an eye On the one whom she shares with the world and heaven.
Jesus Has Come! That I May Know Him! Jesus has come! That I may know him! I want to serve and know all about him! What an opportunity I have! He's right here! He speaks words of love… True and sincere! I'm going to return the love, he's given to me! And the life he's given, so abundantly! The time is now! My choice has been made! There's nothing for Jesus, I would ever trade! He's worthy of all praise and honor I give! All of my failures… He's willing to forgive! Glory to Jesus! Praise him most high! I want to be with him! At the meeting in the sky! Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Set my heart on fire! That knowing you, will always be my desire! By Jim Pemberton
Fireworks slide down the back of my tongue Some went north to imitate stars, knowing all to well they wouldn't even make it to the stratosphere A fire can't breathe with no air Ask that man in the alley why he has to shoot black skies into his veins to see them. You probably have more in common than you might think. Satellite transmissions making waves like the oceans they cover Healthy food is expensive, while poison is damn near free! There is a storm coming Grab your blankets and I will tell you how it ends with a new beginning.
...Just because the road got a little bumpy, That didn't mean I was going to pull over, get out, and sit on the side of the road and give up. I kept going. And at the end of the road, there was a dead end sign... but did that stop me? No. I parked the car, got out, and continued on foot. Eventually I came to the brink of a huge mountain and looked up and thought it was impossible to climb. But did that stop me? No. I tried anyway and started climbing. Once I got to the top, I turned around and looked over the mountain and I could see the smooth road that turned into bumpy gravel that came to a dead end that came to the bottom of this mountain... everything that has tried to stop me. And suddenly, I realized that I now stood higher... above it all... and now look how little it looks...
Would You Be Ready, If Christ Came Today? Are you one who's ready for Christ' return? The way you're living... Are you concerned? Many try to find a love that will last... But outside church, their spiritual candle burns out fast. Many believe they're doing good and "o.k." As long as they give a little time and pray. Many have God's word and don't know the verses. You can see their Bible on Sunday, underneath their purses! A sense of excitement stirs each morning. But many fail to heed God's somber warning. Without holiness, no one shall enter God's throne. If Jesus came today... Would you be left alone? God knows the heart of man is wicked deep within. That's why Jesus said: "YOU MUST be born again." Be separate from the world's wicked and sinful ways. "Be ready for my coming," is what Jesus says. At God's house, his divine judgement shall start. Live for Jesus NOW! Love him with all of your heart! Keep this important thought in mind... If Jesus came today... Would you go, or be left behind? By Jim Pemberton
David and Goliath Goliath challenged Israel, and brought disgrace. He asked if any man would meet him... Face to face! The men of Israel were scared. Not this brave! If they lost… They'd be the Philistine's slave! King Saul asked if anyone would challenge this man! David accepted. Knowing this was God's land! With a small stone, that he chose from a river bed He faced Goliath. God put the stone into his head. Down came the giant! He took a big fall! He wasn't so great and mighty, after all! Is there a giant in you life? That's causing you problems? Why not come to Jesus! And let him solve them! Whatever your "giant' might be! With God's help… You can have the victory! Whatever "giant" there is… All must bow at Jesus' name! Won't you stand up! God's message, do proclaim! The enemy's already defeated! Victory is here! As God is lifted up! Your enemies will disappear! By Jim Pemberton
My little English is a Doll who can say "Ma-ma I'm so small" and every word inside her Head is just a temporary Star a hot spice in her plastic Bread that can not be eaten so far but yet there is a secret crop of dormant herbs under the Seas and I expect the seeds to POP in all my empty cavities the holly matter of the Speech will make Lost Objects float again and I will be the Happy Witch who keeps them on my shiny Pen.
Jesus… We All Need YOU! Jesus, as I give you my focus and attention. I come to you for help and Godly correction. I need your words to breathe into my soul.

May your eternal love bind our hearts forever! We need you! There's no way of getting around it! You offer an abundant life… Help us to find it! Let's honor Jesus from a heart of thanksgiving! And allow him to change how we're living! A life filled with Jesus is what it's all about! As we allow him to change us throughout! Jesus is the answer for you and me… To living a joyful life! Ever so abundantly! By Jim Pemberton 01/21/15
What A Wonderful Savior! What a wonderful savior, in Christ, I have found! He picked me up, when my life was crashing down! What an awesome Lord, I n Jesus, I know! His blessings in me, he wants to bestow! What an example in him, I have to live for! It was for us all, that Christ chose to die for! What a joy and happiness, to my heart, he brings! He gives me a reason to live, shout and sing! What an opportunity you have, to also know him! Won't you confess your sins? And bow before him? What a wonderful gift! You can receive his salvation! The past can be gone! You can be a NEW creation! By Jim Pemberton
They searched for it in a Christmas tree, Christmas sock, chimney, between the Christmas cards, but couldn't find it….. They went out and split the Snow Man into two, but it wasn't there; "It has a funny way of playing hide and seek in such a serious day for celebration," they quipped in their thoughts. Little did they know that the Christmas Spirit was sitting in their hearts, waiting to be discovered, and shared to other seekers.
Jesus Is Here! The same Jesus who died on the cross, is right here! I don't need to worry, doubt or have any fear! The same Jesus who walked on this earth long ago… Is the same one, who can redeem and make me whole! The same Jesus who arose in his resurrection power… Can meet all of my needs! This very hour! The same Jesus who defeated Satan by his word… Has spoken his marvelous grace, for all to be heard! The same Jesus is the one who wants you to know him! One day, every one will confess, and bow before him! The same Jesus could return this very day! For HE is the truth, the life, and the only way! Won't you accept everything that he has given? You too can experience the power of being FORGIVEN! By Jim Pemberton
Split decisions dance with time and as each one intertwines they align with the story of God's design the medley of your memory trace promotes your enduring shape Like fossilized bones Or data lines on a disk Each encoding depicts history And how you created it If thoughts beget actions And actions engender waterfalls And integral Pieces of your life Then its up to you to conquer All your strife For no one else controls your destiny Your apex Or your valleys Crawl along slowly Or live for the day Its almost like Burger King You can have it your way Of course there are setbacks And complications But each one contains A valuable lesson To resolve to evolve and grow With grace Never forget to look to coach God To monitor your pace Prepare wisely and move along Just remember this isn't a sprint It's a marathon
Sometimes I think I've gone crazy Things go wrong daily Not feeling as strong lately? You've got to keep your head up Your loved one was caught cheating It left you bleeding Think you can't do anymore grieving You've got to keep your head up You lost a loved one Keep their memory alive help them live on And it'll be like they're not really gone You've got to keep your head up So you got rejected by the girl you like There's plenty more who'd be happy to be by your side Doesn't make you weak if tears leave your side But you've got to keep your head up Didn't get the results you needed then try again Take strength from the bird with a broken wing trying to fly again He will soon reach the sky again You've got to keep your head up No matter how bad things are Better times are never too far Time will heal all your scars You've got to keep your head up Pain won't last forever You will find your treasure Today was bad, tomorrow will be better You've got to keep your head up

i can see myself now few years i'll be sailing looking from the sea the ease and comfort i feel being alone and not afraid able to understand the years gone by come to terms with peoples decisions but i still feel grief i still feel hollow i still feel alone its the time where i think we can only have one life lets not make it in vein so i ask myself often what is your challenge ? what do you strive for? what will it take? and at times i feel its all too hard it cant be done then i ask, what is stopping me? why cant i do it.. one life is what one makes it i can make a difference a small one but at least its a start i can make my own path pave my way through the obsticles and maybe one day look back and look how far i have gone because we all are challenged we all have grief, heart ache and struggles but its the distance we go to make the journey worth fighting for will you fight for it? will you fight the next person beside you? will they fight for you? will there path co-operate with yours? friend or lover we all learn with one another and seek our paths
An undisputed truth , that all of mankind is similar, Shared goals and ambitions, the dream of a peaceful land, For all to stand against waves of burning hate , hand in hand, Differences force a barrier between understanding, Aggression arises, and innocents are thrown in turmoil, unwilling, Violence tears through the living , turning the peaceful into machines intent on killing, The time is now , for us to change the world, To exorcise the ghosts of discrimination, and to end all frustration, A time of peace shines upon our land, A promise of salvation,finally at hand.
I awake one morning And couldn't find my poets pen All I had was a plain peace of paper So I tell my self I will not write again My mind were full of ideas But how can I express them And when I sad I will stop writing friends think I had some kind of problem I needed to find my way back But I had no inspirations I keep having too many setbacks I seem to run out of motivations At times we will lose our motivation We are just humans after all But doesn't because mean we stumble a lot We must take for granted we will always fall There, s a lot pressures on us all A student who's worried for a test result Or a father who's son was bullied so bad And will for ever think it was his fault Every one cant be a doctor or lawyer who will make the eggs and sausage Now all can be all a pilot or Wall Street executive Because who will pick up our garbage Every one of us starts with a dream We all sets out with a life quest And we have this fire burning in out hearts And we won't stop till we are the best But we are just flesh and blood We might stumble, fall and lost our way But No one in the world is perfect So let's get up and try another day Forget the mistakes of the past For greater achievements awaits you. Look at the sunny side of everything And make your optimism comes true For After the sun goes down, The moon and stars comes out We must never lose our hopes And in our hearts we will keep no doubts I have the best friend in the world And she is my sauce of inspiration Just knowing she's part of my life Has given me so much motivation So I start to write poems again Using an old broken pen And just like my love for her The words of my poems will never end It's okay to fall and fall again It's not the end of the world For as long as you keeping getting up You have motivation in your soul
The Presence of Time By Josie Parrelli Where the clocks are beating The journey starts Time Life is a sense of timing Who we meet, who we see What we do Each step we take Guides us upon our path Confused, we question The clock keeps beating With no rhythm or rhyme That's where the confusion has started We fear the clock beating As if it's a mocking call Eyeing your every move seeing your falls Be still in the moment, the clocks are not your foe They are beating In your rhythm Your time For the clock beats differently for all of us Our steps, our journey The presence of time is your friend Listen to it, hear the beats Dance For when the time hits You realise that the clock was always beating In your time, your tune Sing For the presence of time is never to be feared Never to be questioned; never to be argued with Listen to it, hear the beats Hear the melody, sing the song Strum the beats For within the melody is where your destiny lies Believe and trust For the presence of time Is a gift, unique to us This is Your Life Purpose For here is where your story is told (c)2013

Well, my mother, she lay sick in bed; And I can hear the words she said: Don't you cry little boy, Don't you cry little boy, The Lord is near Well, the doctor said he give her a weak; Because she is so very week. Don't you cry little boy, Don't you cry little boy, The Lord is here. Well, my father, he lay dying in bed; And I can hear the words he said: Don't you cry little girl, Don't you cry little girl, The Lord is near. The day has come and he's with me no more; With wings in Heaven he will soar. Don't you cry little girl, Don't you cry little girl, The Lord is here. Well, our baby brother lay in his crib; And these are the words we said: Don't you cry little baby, Don't you cry little baby, The Lord is near. He struggles for breath and cannot rest; His hearts beats hard on his chest. Don't you cry little baby, Don't you cry little baby, The Lord is here. Don't you cry little children, Don't you cry little children, I, the Lord, am near. Don't you cry little children, Don't you cry little children, I, the Lord, am here.
Onwards we go , Up the hill Down the road Far in distance In the progress Not always rapid. But always going. Through the barriers Hope the leader. Weather stormy, Sunny or bitter. In harmony. In anger. In despondency, Or panic. Let Optimism pinch the worry. Keep the fight going . Scared mentality , Broken hearts Problem solving Helplessness... Drive through horror, Learn a lesson. One regret that's impossible to forget. See that light See that goal Ride on hot coal , If it burns carry on With Motivation the reason. As - Life doesn't consist of wishes. Everyday little less to live. Live lively. Little quantity... So master it's quality.
Every now and then appears a torch a guiding light This torch inspires and warms us to the core its flame encourages To only a select few is this power granted by its light we are nourished When it appears our hearts are gladdened and our souls truly inspired Long may the flame burn filling up empty spaces removing the darkness Gather close yet even closer its flame will not burn you long may you be incandescent ~~~~~~~~~
Rest, stirring heart, Narrow-minded in your fears, courage close awaits Though bold your words be, Your lack of action gives you away and despairs you I am amused by your imaginings, For simple these worries be, And strange is your heightened sorrows, A sadness fit for the about-to-die children, Begging the snares to let them go... And yet you have that sorrow...and lovely and safe you be... Rest your head not on man's shoulder Instead, lay upon the golden cushions of My word- Where rains of treasures and fruits gently fall, Laced with peace-garnished with happiness... Your brothers share deeply in your concerns, Alone you never are, For look! -out upon the beads of leaves, How they rustle playfully and sway with the breeze My breath gives them life- How much than shall I give thee? This I tell you, daughter, Each lonely soul shall find true love, In between the rests and silences, On the very off-beat... on the tip of quietude, True music tremulously trills, Flattening all mountains and hills, Kissing their lowered heads and wiping their glacier tears- Long-patiented love insatiated
All I ever wanted was a simple dance, But your eyes left me in a trance, I know long for a chance, A chance to get to know you, And show you what I can do, If I was your man and ill be true, True to my word, And ill love you like mad, Always keeping you happy and never sad, Sadness will never touch your face, Our hearts will beat in the same pace, Loneliness shouldn't bind your hearts like a lace, 5 minute challenge 13th 03 2013
During the day I see the sun is shining During the night I see the stars glow not Everyone is smiling but It's time to let go The past no longer matters Don't worry about any mistakes you've made It's time for laughter Keep your head up and stop being afraid Your heart will fix Don't fear it getting broke Live life and take risks Keep faith don't lose hope We all mess up from time to time But your biggest mistake Is allowing yourself to hate What others do don't mind Just live your one life Because you only get one chance to Even if the DJ isn't playing your favourite song tonight At least there's still something to dance to Tomorrow is a dream that may not be real So if you love someone tell them how you feel Because today could be your last So don't let the opportunity pass Nothing lasts forever So enjoy every moment while you can Make the good out of bad and look fort he better And don't be scared to ask for a helping hand We all experience bad times But follow your heart and speak your mind Times will always get better Enjoy it while it lasts cause nothing lasts forever
There was once I knew an eccentric woman, Though some may have called her strange, Her actions were the loudest words spoken, Each person she met experienced a change. For some it may have been passing, For others a lifelong trek. For help she never was asking On others she'd rather check. Her love for her family and friends Was more than words can express To each event she was bound to attend And she always had the best dress. Though she is in heaven, smiling from above, I'll always remember that eccentric woman Who taught me that family was a labor of love And that actions were the loudest words spoken. ~ In loving memory of Mary Lee Weiler
We live in a human world and He lives in His now is't it a shame with all you can have and do with Him you chose to live in the world Two worlds exist that will not be the same Walking together hand in hand through the rain In God's land where everything is planned for tomorrow we have His love, we have His heart, we have Him guiding us it's never too late to turn away form your LIFE to start agai In stead of running through the rain looking for nothing In God's land where everything is planned for tomorrow How happy we would be if only we were truly God's children Why can't we be more like God's children Rev.

Jesus Christ Is GOOD NEWS! I want you to know, that Jesus Christ is GOOD NEWS! Without him, in your life… You will LOSE! He's alive today! And brings tidings on great joy! All of his blessings. He really wants you to enjoy! He is the difference, in a world "turned upside down!" He's there to help, when life comes "crashing around!" The good news, is that he reigns, in his awesome power! He is a mighty fortress, and a strong tower! He reigns in heaven, with the earth beneath him! And is waiting for me and you, to receive him! Won't you allow this good news to change you? And allow his sweet love to "rearrange" you?" He wants to do glorious and beautiful work in you! It is no secret how much he really LOVES YOU! By Jim Pemberton
In the middle of the forest, Where the light is at its least, Where the darkness does abound, Is where the blazed trail ends. Until now we've had a guide, To help us on our way; But here and now we stand alone, Where the blazed trail ends. We cannot take the paths before us, For they cannot be taken twice. We must make our own way beyond Where the blazed trail ends. The paths before us give us hope That we too can succeed. Our new journey has just begun, Where the blazed trail ends.
Drops of sweats hovers my face.. As i walk ahead slowly through a phase.. In a whirlwind like the maze.. I find myself dreaming amaze... Glued deeply buried on the ground... I wonder how a melodious music sound... I drum and twirl my fingers in round.. Fidgeting strings of triangles I found... I fall back in a convergence of scenes.. Leaving away footprints that don't dim.. Beaming with meeknes of it seems.. Mimic the yonders and let eyes gleam.. Vibrantly shining in a spectrum of rainbows... Vigorously rejoicing loud in the meadows. Reflecting through vivid shapely shadows.. Amusing and beckoning, one will follow... By: olive_eloi sept. 09, 2013 1:27pm Dedicated to: one who imagines ------>>> Gonna be a happy day, i hope Blessed are those who have found in their heart that place called happiness... Extend kindness... Share a smile... Project uniqueness..
A genius is a lofty kind indeed: he or she is a creature of the mind that goes where breaths of inspiration lead like a mythic muse on a Grecian wind; some have the gift of poesy like Keats and some the gift of music like Mozart; one limns a lush, green field where blithe sheep bleat and one writes airs that lull the soul and heart. The gift of genius is but an instrument, a golden talent to be invested, used, multiplied, shared, for the betterment of humanity and thus wisely exploited. But, if your genius be absent from this rhyme, then share the greater genius of your time.
I Want To Know Jesus! Jesus, please cleanse me from every sin. That I may know what it means to be born again! Jesus, please deliver me from temptation. That I may enjoy your gift of salvation! Please come and bring your healing now. I come before you! And humbly bow… I invite you to be my lord, that I may be whole! I need your love, to enrich my soul! I need you now! Like never before! You bring true love, and so much MORE! I want to know and listen to your voice. Above all others… May you be my first choice! I need the beauty and peace that you bring! If I know you… I have everything! Fellowship with YOU! A brand new start! I give you my life, and all of my heart! By Jim Pemberton
You're the inspiration I need, the determination I feel. The motivation to write, the foundation of my life. You're my poet and I'm the instrument used to write. Now I've felt my dream from you my earthly being. As you inspired me, you fulfill my dreams. Lost without you, I cannot see, the inspiration I feel, I cannot dream. Then you opened my sight through a window of light. Now it's clear to see, the determine inspiration you bring to me.

Hands down, perhaps a more sapien trait than most of the usual attributions of what it is, that distinguishes humans. I listen to a prime example of Sondheim samples on a Steinway & Sons eighty-eight. Balancing between enchantment and amazement contemplating the purveyor of sounds and the craftsmen necessary for such synapse sublimity. Nimble is a word oft applied to such vocations equally as well as with magicians, cake-decorators, painters, surgeons, bomb defusers, and a good seamstress. The dexterity of mind is just as amazing as dexterity of digits. the juggling act of keeping in the mental air so many separate thoughts. Wandering only briefly to the another tangent only to return the instant before the thought fades to invisible shards on the floor. How quickly the supple mind guides the supple fingers. Primarily, it's about placement of details, in space and in time. I hear the gentle trepidation of the protagonist through the skill of the pianist, vocalist, the composer; each displaying their dexterity by dropping just the right, the exact amount, of emotion into, my senses. I close my eyes and imagine I see visions of nimbleness, fingering a dexterity of my own. © Goode Guy 2013-05-23
Perhaps things in life have taken the "wrong turn." Life is passing you by… And you're not concerned? Things that were important, aren't important anymore. Life just seems to be like one big "revolving door."… Your love for people close to you, seems to be gone. Almost everything you do, seems to turn out wrong. Your life seems to be like a ship that's lost at sea/ You wonder; "why lord, has this been happening to me?" Jesus loves you very much! And he understands! He'\s waiting to pick you up, with his outstretched hand! He'll replace your loneliness with a satisfying love! And put your life back together, fashioned from above! His perfect love will give you hope and a peace of mind! Why not trust him now? NOW is the time! By Jim Pemberton
Let us change ourselves for today so we can proceed to be greater for tomorrow. Live this life not for only you but a generation that needs more leaders and creators. For the mind is a dormant place that needs to be awakened to see it's full capabilities. For who are we to hold ourseleves back and who are they to deny us the right to achieve, For we are made in his image and he has given onto us an understanding and the mindset to seek knowledge, and from this wisdom is built to strengthen our foundation. So rise up kings and queens. For it is a fine thing to place your castles In the sky, but without seeds from the soil how can one really know what it is like to truly fly. So be afraid not to think different take control of your destiny be creative through your visions.
Please Take A Moment For Jesus! Please take a moment for Jesus! Why not today? Isn't this a good time to kneel down and pray? In this "crazy and busy" world, that we all live in… Isn't this a good time to honor Jesus and thank him? Thanking him for his all that he's done for us! He's given us his life, because he loves us! Many have the time to make a lot of choices. So much to choose from... And many voices! Spending time with HIM, is a good way to live! He has so much to offer! And much to give! I think if we could listen to HIS voice, and be stirred… We would realize how important it is, to read his word! Living by his word, and the truth that can be applied… Will help you to know, that your needs, Jesus has supplied! Won't you take a moment, to spend alone with him? Simply reach out him now, and let your heart touch him! You can be blessed, encouraged, and be made whole! HE wants to strengthen and bring love to your soul! He patiently waits for you to call out to his name! By the blood of Jesus… You can be forever CHANGED! By Jim Pemberton
If we open our eyes I know that we will see There's some one Who's less fortunate than we? And if look in our hearts I know that we will find There's some one Who's compassionate and kind? Just look around the world It's not what should be And we can change it But it's up to you and me And if we all reach out a hand We can put a smile on some one face And if we open our hearts We can make this world a better place And if we all believe in the lord Then we know he love all of us So let us spread love and joy Like every day is Christmas It's hard, so hard But we can make it if we try It's sad .so sad If we don't hear the children cry If we throw away the guns Then maybe all the wars will end And if we take time to talk I think every one will be a friend And if you think I'm wrong Then just turn and walk away But if you think it's worth a try Then let us make a difference today Many thinks that the holidays Is the only time for us to give? And for the rest of the year Our minds has no prerogative We all are humans first Before religions or race Some of us are fortunate And some life's are displace We say we can't fix the problems So we stand a side and wait So let's make everyday like Christmas And love will over come the hate
I try to hold it in, but I couldn't let it go Pushing my pain aside to heal Yet my anger would only grow. Asking myself, "Is this all I will ever be?" Afraid of my own shadow, a freed man, who doesn't feel free. Is this a curse, my fate, or destiny? Or maybe all this was just meant to be. But even though the sun will set, and the darkness will close in. There is one thing I am sure of, That the sun will rise again. If you feel alone and neglected just remember this my friend. There is nothing in this world you cannot do. People will always put you down, but just remember to just be you!

Come sweet Jesus! And touch my heart! May my love for you…. Never depart! By Jim Pemberton 07/31/13
Deep in silence I focus on my pain I've kept it buried below and softly away Disabling all of my false and insecure pride Filtering through the faces I keep disguised Its been well overdue for me to make a change While my words become like rotting fruit and falls away Searching for something to mend a shattered heart Insearch of inspiration, but instead I fell apart Give me a pair of wings and watch me fly Then watch me crash and burn out of the sky I know that my plate is made warm for me on the table As I begin to wonder if I will change at all Honestly I'm not sure that I can Behind a box of excuses you will find a man With a heart so big and wants to save the world But yet so selfish that my punishment is well deserved I'm so tired of defending what I'm not and have become And still I keep pretending that nothing is wrong Throw me the obvious and I will wear it on my back As the summer night illuminates memories I can't have I know that my dinner is getting cold as I grow unstable Uncertainty has become all but a poetic fable But I will keep on digging until the whole is dug As the hole keeps getting bigger with every plunge Tomorrow doesnt exsist until it comes So tonight I light a candle for hope until it does *JJF* 4/18/2013
My daughter posed to me a curious question. She asked, "Dad, where do you get your inspiration, To get up each morning before the rising sun, And put your garbage collector's clothes back on? I know you told me about your years in the state prison, And how that restricts the opportunities that you are given; But there is not one single time that I can remember You missing a day since I was born on the tenth of December. And I would really like to know just how do you do it Without ever complaining or threatening to quit?" So, I looked at my daughter in her beautiful blue eyes, And I tried to explain to her my reasons and give her my whys. "Well, you see, eighteen years ago this beautiful baby girl, By your dearly departed mother, was brought into my world; And for the first time in my life, I had a reason to live; So to this jewel I was granted, a little bit I could give. With every garbage can I lift and empty into my truck, I thank God for my job and giving me this luck. So I give you this answer, and swear that it's true, All the inspiration I need, I get straight from you." Now I sit with other parents in a late May celebration; As my daughter and her classmates enjoy graduation. And I watch with pride as she starts giving her speech; As first in her class, my daughter did reach. She ends her speech saying, "People ask me about my persistent study habit, Well, my inspiration is my father, who taught me never to quit." Even with her scholarships, there are still expenses to pay, So the next morning at 4:00 I start another work day. by, Joe Flach
You came here children to save a marriage, that couldn't be saved. You were delivered with all the hope, humanity can bring to a new day. You came and life was better, the childrens faces answered so many questions. You came expecting nothing, deserving the chances only we can give. You came, we failed! Now we must all see about tomorrow. By William P. Darnell Sr.
Have I ever told you how wonderful you are? well if I didn't now I'm telling you your wonderful I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for you the way you stay on me about doing the right thing the way you curse me out if I get on your nerves or if I just catch you on a bad day not to mention the fact that you went above and beyond for me, past the call of duty and for that I am forever grateful so the only thing I can do is to help you in anyway possible anything you want you can have it I would move the stars and the heavens for you if I could so thank you for everything that you have done and are still doing so don't ever say that I don't appreciate you when I do things that don't make sense because I am only human and I will make mistakes but one thing that I wouldn't do is take you for granted because without you I would be lost like a needle in a haystack so just bear with me a little while longer and I promise you that I will make you proud of me and that will be my way of showing you just how much I appreciate you and what you do thank you for being who you are because no one can do you better than you
Love hurts and people change. Things go wrong and things get strange. But life goes on and you only life it once. Be strong cause things will get better over the months. I thought I was heartbroken, I thought you were my world. You fooled me though, made me think I was your only girl. But all along, you didnt care. Im not sure, your were even completely there. But now I've moved on, when I thought it was impossible. I had to be the bigger person in this breakup, I was responsible. I let it get to me, but I didnt let it ruin me completely. I didnt do anything about the hurt you caused me, I acted so sweetly. I let you walk all over me, I tried to ignore how you disrespected me. But when I ended things, the pain was easier to see.
Just Loving Jesus! Just loving Jesus... Have you missed out? On what being child of God is all about! Some think true love comes from laughter or a "funny feeling." Getting involved with things not of God, but are appealing. Twisting the true joy of God, with the empty joy of man. Forgetting what God's word says— failing to understand. LISTEN! Godly love is not based on an "overnight experience." Nor based on what may have a "Godly appearance." It comes from falling in love with Jesus and his precious word too. Simply enjoying Jesus, and his life that he gave for you! Don't forget… Everything you have… from Jesus it came. Be careful not to reject the love in his precious name! By Jim Pemberton
Just because it is dark, it dose not mean that light does not exist with all your troubles, it does not mean that there isn't a way out even when he tells you that are selfish just know that you are not you protected your siblings and forgave your mother your voice rose high in the house of secrets pulling off the sheets, you saved all the others you closed your eyes and took a deep breathe and ended all the fear where for the first time you Believed in me As the months followed, nightmares began awaking from the misery, and crying in reality you smiled to the surface and grew big in your heart you held your hands up high and said this, will not define me I am no longer a victim but a worthy hearted child always trying to make ends meet even when they all tried to help you their gentle hands still couldn't save you but then you remembered one important thing, when you believed for the end there was no doubt that it came you sprung up high and saw that you were free no longer will he hurt you and no longer will your creativity be wasted now that you are free for the first time you can Dream With the memories, life became hard when everyone judged your heart became nothing when man tried to use you your tears became nothing when no one could not love you your depression became nothing and when they all left you you became nothing stabbed in the back by the one you loved he lacked the idea of his selfish deeds by the range of a wife your mother loved more than thee you saw that you were falling and thought that the great and powerful was no longer with you but then you remembered that the dreams that made you were what kept you going that you, in your youth over came the broken past and when God created you he knew that you would be the one to Inspire many So believe that your hurt will end and that the best is yet to come Dream right now with all of your present days that are soon to come and Inspire yourself because there will be those who will be Inspired By You

They have two bright mesmerizing wings, And the beautiful surroundings make them sing, They look like magnificent kings, Who are they ? Ofcourse the Butterfly !
how do you stop missing someone when they,re always on your mind How to stop a heart from hurting These answers are so hard to find We always thought that we're in control To avoid the pot holes we come upon And we're careful to only pick the roses And not to get entangled in the thorn But within the seconds of a minute A whole life can change And you can find your self lost in the middle an open firing range You can go from under the sheets To the freezing cold And the life that you accustom living You begin to slowly lose control When love comes in your life It falls on you like the rain And all your careful assumptions Gets wash away like leaves in a drain The invisible force of love That grows in my heart wont stop And every time I think of her The emptiness just fills me up I was contented in my darkness But I welcome the sunshine Before she came into my life Happiness never crosses my mind And though I was lonely I never notice the emptiness For it just never bothered me To make it any of my business But when she came into my life It's like a new person was born I open my windows And all the dark clouds was gone And she takes residence in my heart With out I even knowing And soon my heart was alive again With all these emotions over flowing And happiness was now in my life But the emptiness was here to stay For the woman I so madly love Are still thousands of miles away? The wings of love can carry you To the corners of the world To the very heart of the person That will forever live in your soul And thought I have found love To fill my life forever This emptiness will always remain Until the day we are together
We Need to Be Orientated to Jesus! There's often a lot of speculation… Regarding a person's "orientation." As each day goes by… One can clearly see... Many are confused as to what they want to be. Which direction one goes… Is "anybody's guess…" No wonder this world's an "upside-down" mess! The Bible says; "straight is the way." And "narrow is the gate." One needs to make up his mind. Before it's too late! If one is confused. Let God's word give a clear direction! It's the word of God that gives much needed correction A "Jesus orientation" is what needs to take place! There's a savior who loves us! And offers his grace! If one is still unhappy with the way They've been created… We're wonderfully designed by God! This shouldn't be debated! Allow the power of Jesus, to orientate your life today! And listen to what your creator really has to say! Where there is emptiness… God's love does much more abound… Allow the Holy Spirit to turn your life around! Jesus alone can change your whole way of living! His life for yours… Is what HE is giving! By Jim Pemberton
I'm close to a breakthrough that's why I'm gonna give it my all I'm close to a breakthrough won't stop til I make it No one on this earth is gonna stop me from reaching my breakthrough I'm so close I can fell it within me I'm so close I can fell it within me YEAH, my breakthrough is on the way so I'll just have to hold on until it arrives but I won't stop until I get my breakthrough (This is my first quatrain so tell me what you think)
God's Word Gives Truth and Meaning! As many are seeking truth and life's meaning. It's a lot of garbage that they're often receiving! Many have refused God and what he commands! And have brought a great sin over the land! As many indulge in whatever seems "cool." They tend to live by their own set of rules. Many don't know any of the 10 commandments. As they turn to man-made establishments! The answer to life and the truth is out there! It's the word of God, that he has put there! In God's word, can you find the truth which you seek! His word brings comfort and strength to the weak! His word is the most powerful truth you can get a hold of! It gives a purpose and meaning that you can speak of! I'm so thankful of his words so powerful and truthful. I've found them to be encouraging and helpful! Won't you take a few moments in sincere prayer? And come to know the God who loves you and cares? God rewards and blesses those who want to seek him! Won't you take the time to really know him? Time is short! There doesn't need to be a postponement! God's word can change you! This very moment!

Humpty Dumpty cracked my eggs Theses pristine solid becomes a liquid mess With The yellow fat yolk jostling wet In a bowl like a squabble comic pair yet unset Humpty Dumpty left my eggs broken As delicate as a fetus whirling for life Helpless at birth yet destined to live Wrapped in the womb and silent as such Broken Eggs shatters the hope of life Yet a hope to save another; may be from hunger I found it utterly pleasing and truly, very yummy Perfect in beauty in sauce like my honey mummy Humpty Dumpty cracked my eggs, yet Daddy spiced my broken eggs into an omelet He turned those broken eggs into a jellyroll And poured it in a golden bounteous-bowl
This facade that we build around our bones; this walking dream Shouldn't be any different, than what we keep in the night, where the stars burn as freely as our hearts. I say we stoke the fire, throw it all in. Watch the sand turn to glass, peel the skin back swallow the marrow of promise. Let the light reflect. -James Kelley 2013, All rights reserved.
Head high, faith strong Ready for whatever I have to take on I learnt to appreciate every moment and make it a great one Because there's always someone worse off trying to get to the place you want to escape from It's just a bad day not a bad life We all have long days and sad nights The rain will was whatever pain life may bring It's best to not listen when people say things They'll say more things to bring you down than raise you up Move on and forget about people who erase your trust Time is limited ands I see people waste so much Get your shoes on and lace them up Follow your path, walk your road I think to myself, never put my thoughts on hold If the conversation isn't focused on progressing, talk and go Life is too short, so grow People talk about bad things in life but won't try to change them We may lose people when we thought we'd always remain friends Scars heal, hearts fix and pain mends Remember HOPE stands for hold on pain ends
I'm Pressing On For Jesus! I want to press on for Jesus today! May I be attentive! To what he has to say! I want to seek the cross, and it's true meaning. May HIS will in my life, become more revealing! I want more of Jesus' love to daily surround me! It wasn't I, but the Lord Jesus that found me! I want more of his word, to nourish my mind! May his example in me, be what others find! I want to seek his forgiveness! I always need it! His blood can wash away any sin! I believe it! I want you Lord, to come and fill me up! Take your spirit's oil, and fill my empty cup! Thank you Jesus for this! And everything you do! Help me to press on! And keep loving YOU! By Jim Pemberton
BY STREET CRIES I pray for savlanut that's patience in hebrew Asking God to protect me from people that's see through Cause I know on the right path he'll see me through Now I know I am not perfect I still have faults But who does not Even the ones that make it to the top So I am going to keep my Prayers and Beliefs Knowing that he will bless me and my seeds Knowing that he still hears me even if I am not down on my knees To him I put my heart on my sleeves I am only human I still feel pain and my heart still bleeds Passing by the homeless knowing that could be me But instead there's a address where I sleep Shoes on my feet and food in the fridge if I want something to eat People say my poetry is deep So I have to thank God for the ability to speak Thank you
Rewrite You have been broken down to believe you deserve no better But you do and you forgot so now I write this letter The strings were cut free to be the woman you know you are Fear the secret tether keeping you from going too far The game replayed and still you chose to be the willing fool Knowingly a pawn knowing they will break the rule You strove to rekindle your flame to reclaim your soul's fire Don't deny yourself the respect or deny the desire That familiar face in the mirror longs to understand the why Love should bring you a smile not more tears to cry Cast away self doubt and that lingering fear of the unknown Left to the dark the flower would have never grown Revel in your strengths as you relish what keeps you smitten Freed from page your story's end is yet to be written Drakavai2013
May Jesus Bless You Today! May the love of Jesus bless you today! And bless you in what you do and say! May his love be what binds your heart. And give you this day… A fresh start! May his mercy and grace really touch you! And his presence come and refresh you! May his words of life be what guards you. From the temptations of life all around you! Will you take some of your time for him? And get to know Jesus as your friend? Will you accept his holy way of living? And come with a heart of thanksgiving? Will you, by faith, accept and receive him? And take the time to really believe him? Thank you Lord, for hearing this prayer… And for listening and always being there! Let's bless the Lord and delight in his name! The blessings from him, is for all to obtain! By Jim Pemberton 01/26/15
I Read About God In the Bible… I read about God, when I read the Bible. And read about many, who worshipped a false idol. I read about his eternal love and grace displayed. And how many sought his help as they prayed. I read about God's mighty wonders and power! And that his promises remain the same each hour! I read about good and bad nations being shaken! If they trusted God, they were not forsaken! I read about how the Old Testament foretold. Of a wonderful savior, for all to behold! I read about this savior's death on the cross! He was the sacrifice for the dying and lost! There was a message of God's redemption! And the power of Christ' resurrection! This book foretold the signs of the end times! And how there'd be many lost minds! The book of Revelation makes it clear! The return of our Lord is very near! God gave us his word, and is alive today! Please listen to him! Simply trust and obey! He's here! And patiently waits for all to come! And accept salvation, through Jesus, his son! Glory to God! To him, may we give our praise! And serve him as our God! All of our days! By Jim Pemberton
Would you be able to forgive a murderer? Someone who has killed a person Who was dear to you Could you forgive your brother If he stole from you? Would you forgive your friend If they stole your date? Huh would you? Be honest would you? Could you forgive a colleague If they took the credit for Your accomplishment? Huh would you? Be honest would you Could you? Forgiveness is probably the Hardest thing to do on Earth Simply because we will not let it go But when we do something wrong We want forgiveness But we are not able to forgive someone Who has done something wrong to us The lack or unwillingness To forgive can be associated With pride Yes that's right pride But I already told you About pride in my sin series Now I'm comming to a close My final question is Would you be able to forgive Someone who has given you The worst disease known to man A disease known as AIDS? Huh would you? Be honest would you Could you? Forgiveness is hard to do But Jesus forgave us for All of our sins So why can't we forgive each other Huh?
They lie to us to make votes Feed us with false promises and fake hope They protect paedophiles and make rape jokes Most the problems in our country the government create those You don't matter unless you want to be a police or fireman Any wonder I want to leave this environment I'm 21 so I'm expected to get drunk and chase hoes But I've got too much to say for me to back down and not to speak We may as well **** for virginity as the government fight a lot for peace Politicians don't care if our kids have shoes and socks on feet They make us send our kids to school Yet they allow a convicted paedophile with a secret identity to live across the street They act like he's a changed man But when he gets convicted of the same crime Politicians say my child goes to a private school. At least it ain't mine I could get a few years for assault. Paedophiles and rapists get a little over five years So I can see how women might fear I'm trying to make sure justice is done right here Losing is strictly off limits Feel like Martin Luther King I have a dream But in mine Pixie lott's in it It's funny cause if I kill in self defence I'm a guilty murderer Government kill thousands daily yet they're considered innocent This country is filled with immigrants And they will be considered for a job before me Now that's what I call robbery Government say they're here to stop knife crime But all they do is blame rappers and the way they write rhymes I've listened to hip-hop since age 10. I'm not drug dealing I'm not another thug killing I've got no problem putting my name age and where I was born But why do I need to put my sexuality religion and pointless BS in these forms? I probably shouldn't even be saying this but it's more than opinion and views this is the truth The government won't take an inch of fault So you need to take what I say with a pinch of salt
Woke up this morning nothing different, dog licking my face Got up made a cup of tea, then used the toothpaste Need the hunger in my stomach to vanish So I made a bacon sandwich I see the sun is shining It's beautiful outside Today its Manchester United vs Man City not that I need reminding Wearing my United shirt with the most pride Then I receive a text It's from a girl I've liked for a while she wants a date I reply asking when she is free next She says "let's do it tonight I don't want to wait" I reply that sounds good to me Give her a time and place She replies that's good for me And ends it with see you tonight babe I begin to proceed with my day Give my dog a kiss goodbye no barking comes my way I left the house a s I had a few things to do Before I watch United and City play I see my friend who I've not seen in a while He looks at me and asks why do I have such a big smile So I tell him the news and have a quick chat So I proceed with my day after we have a laugh Last night I had writers block Today I'm writing more than ever before Maybe I needed a night off Now I'm writing like Marshall Mathers and Tupac Shakur Loving everything that I wrote Now at the pub I order a coke As I'm feeling thirsty And we happened to beat Man City with a winner from Van Persie Now I head back and get ready for my date Usually takes me 45 minutes to do my hair Feed my dog & give her the left overs off my plate Now I have 1 hour until I have to be there My friend calls to wish me well She looks gorgeous it's a lot to take in I don't usually kiss and tell But last night was amazing Ended up staying the night Having the most amazing session of passionate love making Wake up with her by my side And decided to start dating What happened next no one needs to know I don't need to say I have nothing more to show Because this was my perfect day
So many times you have hurt me, creating an emotional shrill that disintegrates my joy in a hiccup speed..... It is by holding onto love for you, that I have learned how to join pieces of my broken joy again. I tried alcohol, bungee-jumping, and sky gazing to repair my joy, but alas! alas!; I discovered that love was the easiest way to my joy's pieces again!
We were given wings Though their not seen Their right there Without us knowing Yet we are aware. Those unaware are grounded Others begin to notice They have a choice To take toward the sky. At first fear sweeps over Legs begin to quiver Heart begins to race Staring up into space. First step is always the hardest As I wonder if I can reach it To touch the cotton candy clouds Gaze upon the setting sun. Will I make it? I thought to myself Will I be able To make it up there Will this be a piece of cake? I have to try For me to fly Toward the sky I shall take flight. Spread my wings Swallow my fear Take a breath Time to take off. Wings begin to flap As I feel my body float Feet no longer touching dirt I was no longer on Earth. Slowly I open my eyes And to my surprise I was high above Endless sky surrounds me The land below was smaller. This must be what its like To feel so free and bold Once fear was discarded There was no more worry. With these wings So strong and beautiful There's nothing hold me back I'm free to fly where I please.

I have a companion in my house who doesn't talk, eat, drink or move No, don't think it's an apparition or a television.... ....don't think it's my rusty-aged bicycle that's about to head to the recycle plant..... Yes, it's my Maasai Moran sculpture, beautiful in nature! Though I eat, drink, laugh, think and dream, my companion's smile gleams with radiance that will last throughout its sculpture life A smile that will never in any single age turn into a frown, solemn or angry expression A smile that always will be as steady as the Sun, and as dazzling as a rainbow enveloping a waterfall.... NB: Published in my book, "Painting of Life in Poetry"
Some deal with principalities To leave them alone Others fight principalities In the war of tongues and fangs Others And I am one of those Chose to be Principalities to the principality, when the devil sees them he shouts.. "blood of Jesus! the stronghold attacks again Just like our mountains Some look at it and withdraw Others just walk around it for years Some pray for strength to climb to the top Others Who am not part of Speak to their mountains and they despair But Those of my faith When the mountains see us They flee and we walk on flat ground Just like soccer Its not about your smart boots Nor your breaded hair Its much about what is hidden in you The God that reigns in me Is too much for the loser In the world What you have leads you to what you want But what is in you gives you what you need
A lot of people are searching for love Looking for a mate to compliment themselves Feeling unfulfilled, incomplete, the worst half Looking for that other half to feel complete But some of those people searching for love Don't love themselves half as much Looking for someone to love them Because it's hard to love the one in the mirror The world tells you that you're not OK You're too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, Too black, too white, too flashy, too plain, Teaching that an hourglass figure is the goal And a muscular frame is the key of happiness If you don't love you, nobody else can Because people love confident people People that's confident in themselves The key for confidence is in loving self Once you love yourself, you go for the best Not for last place, but first place Many must learn to love self Or at least force yourself in that love Learn yourself, trust yourself, and believe in you Motivate yourself and no one can stop you So smile, you deserve it and much more Spoil yourself one a while and enjoy Put that chest out, stand tall and walk You're excellence, magnificence, elegance But first love you, trust and be pleased So love that person in the mirror And watch a new you bloom!
MY PRAYER by BambiLynn '78 How sad are the people who walk the street How poor are those with nothing to eat How loved are the children whose parents fight How mean is the dog with the known bite They say we should be happy for what we've got But those who say it have got a lot God give me the strength to ignore the greedy And look away from eyes so beady Let me see the beauty of those who stand tall And live for my pride, not my gull
Glimpse of Light When sorrow and pain set in, And storms came all of a sudden Surely a glimpse of light rays Because Jesus is on our way!
This is why I believe we were put on this Earth By Dennis Davis TO LOVE (Too love God, yourself and all of God's creations) TO LIVE (Too live with joy and purpose and achieve your full potential) TO LEARN (Too learn your life's lesson and knowledge) TO LEAVE (Too leave the world a better place and your present Life behind with out fear)
We beheld the beauty of the first garden in originality Life in its simplicity An egalitarian world Needs and wants afar us We neither pray nor fast to feed belly We commune and fellowship face to face Flesh and spirit is one Death abortive The proclaim wisdom acclaimed by man Hamper it intended mission Placed us amidst mess Deviation from the state of merriment, rest, respite, jollity Who is to be blame? The creator, the created perhaps the mediator The blameless remain irreproachable They're will wheel us to this end Selfish being End of discussion hope for a new heaven Behold you are the garden The seed to design second palace Feed the feeble The tree that shelter the vagabond yet build bridges The river that giveth life The Peace that accommodate conflict yet combat evils You're second Adam Special breed ordained to bring heaven on earth Awake!!! The mediator yet live It intended mission yet live Steal, kill and destroy Girdle your heart and take your position Now you are gods. Build your dreamed world Habitable for all

Let the hallelujah's role! I'm complete in him! The redeemer of my soul! Glory be the Jesus! He can be your savior too! He offers free salvation!! What are you going to do? All praise to Jesus!

In every loving relationship, There are often hurt feelings involve We all have certain expectations We expect our partners to resolve And when they don't live up to them We can feel a sense of betrayal But if we don't know the expectations Then how can we fulfill it after all? But if we take a moment to think We are really hang over some fantasies Of how a perfect lover should be We see on some romantic movies True love are shown in many ways And its don't carry a price tag Love don't come in a size of a diamond Or in a Victoria's Secret shopping bag Love are shown with little actions Like holding you close when you are sick And running out to get what you need Coming back home with it very quick Love is bringing a tear to your eyes By missing your love one from far And telling her how sweet she is While she eats lemons that's very sour Love is like the wind of a hurricane It can travel across the universe And it blows on all ages and colors Love is very unique and diverse I love the some one with out fear And will accept her without restrictions And I trust her without questioning And I desire her without inhibitions I though I would never find love Love and I never had an understanding To me love was like a hot air balloon That will always results in a heavy landing So I try to convince my heart To give up on love already Then god opens up the heavens And send an angel here for me Now I find a new passion for life That's full of hopes and expectations It's just like the seeds in the orchards That will soon comes to full fruitions Love makes you wake in the morning And see the world for the first time Love can make the highest mountains Seems possible for you to climb And it will take a miracle to be her For she's an angel and I'm just a man But god who made us meets So I have a lot of expectations
Warm the touch, gentle the breeze Guiding the path on which we believe Fortunes that encumber stand firm to tether Consume my heart the flames that gather Upward eyes stare at stars that surround We blend to belong, hold back our disguise Fold around endlessly entwined
Sometimes how you feel can change as often as the weather Sometimes out of sight and out of mind don't go together They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder Perhaps that depends on which thoughts you ponder With all that happens there is good and bad in everything To every situation it all depends on what you bring We all want to come out remembered for good But we don't always act and speak like we should The deepest thoughts weigh heavy on our mind But our biggest worries should be left behind Whatever you do, don't live in the past Your present and future move way too fast Regret is a shield from experiencing new Opportunities that quickly become too few Grasp each one but with open arms To be open and free never harms See with your soul, not your eyes Indecision and regret you should despise Your time to live is now. Whether or not you know how Learn along the way Better you will be each day Stronger inside In others confide The true path Follows aftermath.
We search for it from tunes oozing out from a violin; the divine beauty of a clearly, night sky; the yolk-like appearance of the setting sun….. The adventure that we poets get into, is akin to that of searching for the Holy Grail; exhausting our energy, sanity, and peace, until we get it.
Holding on tightly- open to the dreams, pondering produces pain- enduring engages entitlement. Along the way- walls, novels not yet written- dying in the corner. Calligraphy conserving life- holding on dearly, a frame for future fragrance- neither scars nor wounds- grandeur grants greatness, especially once hope is found.
As I lay here in a prison cell of my lost dreams and imaginations. The many ambitions and passions that I once held so highly, slowly start to slither away. As I stay locked away because of the many distractions and temptations that behold amongst the outside world. I slowly curl my eyelids shut from the realities that are of today. Though I may dream amongst the heavenly stars that illuminate the nightly sky. Even in my dreams I hide from my own thoughts and fears. But when my heart comes near to the idea that generates the motor area of my brain. I suddenly refrain from my own dream as the words doubt and fear quickly become my vocabulary ally. And as I awake I look to get high just to start a chemical reaction with the neutrons to create a temporary distraction to my very own time. For you see its time that I battle with on a daily basis. And as the faces of the clock slowly move in a circular circumference. My reluctance to disagree that time simply waits for no man is acceptable. When it is actually regrettable to think time is simply on my side. But I still hide from the happiness that is destined to be. I can literally hear it call out to me through the vibrations thumbing off my cell block wall. Yet I sit here like if I need destiny to call and give me every instruction on how to reach her. Why am I so fixated on words instead of actions? And why are distractions so pleasant while dreams are so feared. For you see its fear that tells me to come near. And as a tear rolls from my face. I sit here mirroring the father sun until it's replaced by its sister darkness. Because in all honestly fear to me seems so heartless to my very own heart. But then I realize it's fear that simply wants to break me apart and put me back together again. Then fear will call herself friend and change her name to dream. So I can ride this bumpy road to finally reach my destiny.
What will you do with the love that God has given? His love can transform and change how you're livin'! What will you do with the sacrifice that Jesus paid? A way to everlasting life, has already been made! Who will you listen to, when the roll is called "up yonder?" With God's will, you will stumble and wander! When will you spend some time with the Lord in prayer? He'll always listen to you! And is always there! Why not come to Jesus? You can know him tonight! He'll bring hope and make the darkness bright! Why not give Jesus a chance in your life this hour? So you too can experience his resurrection power! By Jim Pemberton 07/27/13
Cutting through the doubt and fear, I found my "self" in a wash of enlightenment. Flooded by my own awakening I am renewed; spirit in materiality; power in a box. Packaged dreams await production; Manifest in their own time. "Miracles" some say; "Talent", observe others. I am a channel, Pouring light into a world so unaware… so dark. Illusions for an un awakened world are imagination, fiction dreamed by a child's mind and the world sleeps on and on.
What is life with out hope? What will we do without it? Hope is what keeps us going with the courage to never quit We reach out and hold on to Any hope that we can find To bring temporary comfort To our over crowded mind It's natural for us to lose hope And walk around with a despair face But then logic is if we never found hope How can we lose it in the first place? But still we keep holding on Looking ahead for the greener pasture And the moral strength of our past We will pave the road to our future Hope comes in all forms and reasons Many hope for different things Some hope to see or walk again And some to fly with broken wings Some hope for wealth and power Some just hope it rain from above Some hope for health and food And I just hope to be with the girl I love When we see someone with despair It's like looking in a mirror Its either we been there before Or it's waiting for us round the corner Some are born with golden spoons There forks never got stuck in the roads And the never had to hope Because they carry no heavy loads Not all carries kindness in their hearts And that is their purgative But without kindness and compassion Then you have nothing to offer or to give And although not all will admit But every one hopes for the best And some succeed without even hoping And some just face a lifetime of test Parents wish the best for their children And pray to keep them safe from harm But sometimes things just happens And the sea can no longer be calm And it's only who in the kitchen Can really feel the heat And hope gives us courage to fight Until our victory is complete And sometime we will reach our limits Pushing, pretending, getting frustrated Tired of falling down and getting up But still all we can do is hope and wait And no matter how bad our situation There is always some one worst than us Just look around and you will them On the streets, stores and city bus And if they reach out a hand to us Then we must pull them of the slope And For that moment to them We become a shining light of hope
Very Soon, I'll Be With Jesus! I know my life on earth shall one day end… This body will turn back into dust again. I hope that in my life's remaining days… I'll be careful to give God glory and praise! I hope that with the opportunities given… I'll walk in the joy of my sins being forgiven! I'm thankful that Jesus has shown to me… How much he really cares and loves me! If not for Jesus… Where I would be? He offered his body as a sacrifice for me! Because of what he's done, I'm living today! He'll be with me! Till the end of the way! When my life closes, and a new life begins… I'll be with my savior, lord and friend! Thank you Jesus! As a new day starts! You've brought love and joy to my heart! By Jim Pemberton
You gotta keep on holding your head up, and your shoulders high. You gotta keep on refiling your pride, raising the bar on your self worth. You gotta keep on walking tall despite the potholes. yea! You gotta keep on making those lemonades, add a little honey and enjoy the flavor. You gotta keep on keeping!
Tonight the stars shone through the sky like holes the size of a needle's tip were poked through a blanket with a flashlight placed behind it. It's odd to think that something we believe is so small is quite large. Stars can actually size up to the sun, yet we see them as little specks in the night sky. Have we ever taken into consideration how big we feel, yet how small we really are? Maybe the stars look down at us as particles below and laugh at how we spin around a constellation of problems that, in actuality, are so minute.
To limit one's intelligence, only to gain level headedness. to question one's pride, only to hide what is unright. N'sync with insanity, time only borrowed by your intellect. Mere hints of suggestions and gestures, of your world that is not too sure. lies to conceal the freak in you: bounded by the seclusion and anger, across a horizon of shame and guilt, a crossroad of good and evil, never turning back on my own thoughts, trying not to loose myself on a loosing streak, fear of ending up on a dead end road. trying to convince myself: I'm still headed straight to the right direction!
Hell ya I'm inspired that's right you heard me but for those of you'll who didn't hear me let me say it one more time to make it clear hell ya I'm inspired Inspired for what you ask Hmm..

I'm waiting oops time is up the show must go on check it everybody has someone or something that inspires them eventhough they won't admit it one of my biggest influences is the ones who came before us who gave it their all so we can have it all today and for that I want to say thank you because you gave it your all so we can have it all today now the time has come to end this poem but before I go my biggest inspiration is my lord and saviour Jesus Christ because he gave his life to save the world that's why I'm inspired and that's why I won't stop until he comes to get me thank you that is all for now
Calling Father God is calling He's calling you by name, He's calling through confusion And He's calling through your pain He's calling through your loneliness And through your sorrow too, Father God is calling He's calling out to you He calls through the destruction He calls you through your shame, His call cuts through the wreckage And wipes out every stain His call is not mistaken For any earthly sound, And all the lost that heed the call Will then become the found For when the Father calls you His call will not relent, His call continues, tireless He calls you to repent God's call brings down the mighty God's call lifts up the meek, But do not be mistaken God's call is never weak His call lifts up the feeble arms And strengthens trembling knees, Turns cowards into mighty men His call sets captives free Now you don't have to listen It's up to you to choose, But turn your back – ignore His call, You're guaranteed to lose God's call can heal your sickness His call can make you well, He's crying out to save you From eternity in hell This call can make you holy And lead you into grace, He calls you to his throne room And meets you face to face Father God is calling Through all that you've done wrong, His call will break your aching heart And place inside a song His call can be a still, small voice Or frighteningly loud, God's call lifts up the humble, And humbles all the proud Now what will your decision be? What exactly will you do? For Father God is calling, He's calling now for you.
Who am I? I've lost myself Insane and it could cost my health These people are acting like they're worried I asked for a hand you're just going to act like you forgot to help You want to know why I'm acting weird and moving oddly? And staying a way from these human bodies? I said "no let me go" but it refused and got me Now I'm owned by the illuminati I'm now a puppet for the evil eye Living the people's lie Never again will I be me Arghhh please someone come and free me Only allowed to eat pizza cause it's triangle shaped This is a blessing and a curse I'm getting sick of something I love and losing faith I have "L" in my name and so does Illuminati this is how it works The illuminati wrote this And forced me to post it Everyone will be kidnapped by the illuminati if they quote it Oh wait I was meant to sue invisible ink so the page wouldn't show it How could anyone believe in something so idiotic? I'd rather make fun of you all and use it as a poetry topic Man I'm just kidding with you all while telling you how I feel Stop being so gullible the illuminati isn't real
yes this may seem similar or may sound the same but inspiration has stuck me in so many different way i was inspired by this girl i admired to keep n moving and never give up in doing so i got other hipped up they were inspired by me i dont think this would ever happen or it wont come occasionally but after time i had to realize that i made a difference in the others eyes i showed them what was like me a beaten down boy problems beyond the physical state making a difference and show new ways to think of life and to never back down i was literally one man down i was always sad or in a mood but she changed my life by giving me food not food literally like mentally she said if i could be a scientist i would be the greatest and if i were an racer i would be the fastest and if you wanted to me the boss you could do it with out a sound inspiration is a key to life you live off of it with out even noticing it is there always so this is the meaning when your inspired you inspire and thats how the web works but a bit smaller it starts small but become big in the end soo keep on moving keep you heart pumping for you always inspire some one else with out even noticing. she changed me to become happy now i change others to be like me not in the down fall or over the edge to be happy with live and dont let it end you keep some one from inspiring if you stop writing or doing what you do some inspiration is lost when you stop being you be yourself and do as you must for you inspire other to become like you
only through him, not by out merits. but by His love and mercy, he showed us the way. with one accordance to God's will; the truth of His one mighty act, He showed us the blessings of obedience. by His grace, we came to know His kingdom in heaven. His power no one can ever challenge again, His true love, compassion, and kindness is true power. by Hs humility, he showed how to reign righteous. friend to the lost; even to his last breath, He conquered sin and death. he gave us a chance of hope, to bring us back our rights to salvation. he became one of us: by lowering Himself, He lifted us up, bringing us ever closer to Him, below and up above, all earthly and heavenly creature should bow, only to know more about true sacrifice and love.
Snowy field full of cold whispers, Lies and truth all but disappear, A voyager endeavors to find a path, Years spent in an agonizing search, The white of snow blankets all that can be seen, The path seems lost, not even a place for the weary voyager to lean, He then looks up to the stars , stars dancing in defiance of night, Within the vast dark sky, stars shine pure and bright, Above all humanity and the earth itself, their sparks spread a hopeful light, The voyager's heart fills with hope and determination, Stars, one of the smallest of god's creations Like the stars that find their path despite the burden of dark skies, The voyager musters his strength, to find his path and face what lies..

Good can come from bad and I'm living proof Came from a family of addicts, yet drugs is something I didn't do You have to gain strength from the pain given you This isn't poetry this is the written truth Made mistakes but my actions were always honourable My life has always been drama full But I learnt to pick myself up from a fall Got told I'd be dead by 21, the fact I'm still here is phenomenal I became fearless by removing my commonsense People get offended cause maybe my honesty is too much for them to comprehend But I'd rather people dislike me than to just sit on the fence But I hope some lost souls find courage from my strength I used to hope for my dad until I realised I didn't need fathering I look back and don't show any regret over any of our arguments My strength & ability to bounce back has always been my only guardian I look at all the scars that I survived & smile when life gets hard again I'm still a tortured artist, not writing fairytales or child books Abandoned by parents, raised in care, ex self-harmer with depression Came from a place I wasn't sure I'd ever know how a smile looks But now I smile every time I see my reflection It wasn't long ago that I was at rock bottom Thought I'd never be found like I was a lost problem But the sky's the limit and I'm about to go through the roof Good can come from bad and I'm living proof
(Sonnetina Rispetto) Day by day with God make my way And to him I can always pray Doesn't matter wherever I go Life can be very hard at times But with God I can hear sweet chimes With his love my heart always glow Day by day with God make my way And to him I can always pray. Here on earth till see promised land Life rests in the palm of his hand Doesn't matter wherever I go With his love my heart always glow Day by day with God make my way And to him I can always pray.

thy soul longs for, thy body needs. unmeasurable measure of your worth, where praises and uplifting meets. in your own words, sanctified in in HIS presence. working for and in HIS ways, worshiping every day: we are made to do so, so we are not lost, reminding us, who we should trust, partaking in His glory, revealed in HIS justified righteousness. for few are called; nowadays, even fewer wants to hear, so hasten not your hearts, casue even fewer are chosen to lead the worship.
This life is not a piece of cake, Too much has happened by mistake, But think what life is all about: It's not that hard to figure out. It's such a mix of joy and pain, Its magic drives us all insane, It's like a puzzle you create From moments you perpetuate. A starry midnight on the shore, A song you never heard before, A perfect day, a lover's kiss - It's all for you to reminisce. It is all yours and you decide What makes the voice so deep inside Sing ardently of endless spring And life that could be anything.
The whirlpool of confusion tries to sink it, but it firmly remains afloat The winds of logic try to blow its supernatural nature away, but it still remains firm like an oak tree The flames of selfish ends try to burn it into bursting flames, but it still remains fresh and beautiful The sands of time try to hide it, but its essence of Truth resurfaces in our hearts, regardless of our culture and beliefs we are born in By: Teddy Kimathi Choice of Motif: Philosophical
It is when the Allies thought that the Nazis would win the war, at one moment. It is a Cancer patient thinking that her future to live is bleak, only to break through the chemotherapy. It is a child fearing to drown in a swimming pool, only to find himself swimming without help. It is a writer being haunted by "writers' block" for days, later managing to publish a bestsellers book. It is you losing hope on humanity, only to realize that you are one of the realized souls, destined to guide mankind to the path of light. Name: Teddy Kimathi
I tried to hold my breath, lacing plastic together with curdled finesse. Days of remnants rolled around in a heap and awaited it's pallbearer. One final destination. A graveyard necessary for human greed. I guess everything has an expiration date. We find these things, and love them desperately until they die. Enjoy it's taste or fiddle with its edges. We soak ourselves in their worth, and hope it settles in our stomachs. We need to know it's money well spent. We have to make ourselves believe that we won't end up alongside everything we've bought. Like we're something greater. And yet, we will still rot under the same dirt that we place the husks of our misguided and fickle creations beneath. Burn me when I die, I want to fly on the wind and escape the sin that I've been living in. I want to visit the trees and breath new air. I want to be better than I've been. -James Kelley 2013, All rights reserved
Through the early stages of my life I have been baffled of my gift and, the meaning of my purpose. Not knowing the paths to take or, the roads to travel; I suddenly became unfocused. Leading to a world of destruction and, desolation my chances of being great was none. Focusing on the only thing pleasing to me; having fun. Having that gut-wrenched feeling within my heart and soul, that I'm destined for more than I'm applying! Yielding to the evil spirit thoughts, Which has oppressed me; until there's no denying? Crying within myself asking for someone's assistance, digging deep within my thoughts, praying for more persistence. Then suddenly! A voice calling my name saying, not to fear. For I the Lord has heard your cry! And, now I am here. I have been with you since the day of your birth, and only I know the extent of your worth. I only allowed you to endure the things you've gone through in the past to show you the depths of your heart. How I've created you to care and, love from the very start. You have endured and sustained a great deal only the things you're meant to bare. And have quite a testimony to share. But now the time has expired and, I must truly say; Job well done. Arise and live my child! For Your Time Has Come! By William, T Murphy.
Please Jesus, take everything that I own! I humbly give you my heart, my family and home! I know now, that without you, I'm nothing at all! I chose to come to you in prayer, and give a "call." You're more precious to me, than I never knew! Where would I be today, if not for YOU? You've brought to me a joy that I never had. I have true happiness! And am no longer sad! I thank you for blessing and being good to me! You have come, that my life may be free! I'll forever glorify and bring praise to you name! By your mercy and grace, my life is forever changed!

I only want to give you everything you have. that if you're rich with money then more would serve to salve. and if you're poor; not privy that money would mean more Your soul would still need comfort and I would keep from horror. If you should be successful A spirit flinging wild To smile upon your vessel would serve your inner child. But if you be a failure to waste in peoples eyes I'd turn my head away while you would learn to rise. and if you seem the happy I'd long for us to meet For me just being lucky is friends come out to greet. But if you seem unhappy You're spirit going dim Then I will share discomfort in words leading to him.
In the middle of the universe, I stand. Everything now, I purely understand. Past, present, and future are all the same. The concept of time I have managed to tame. Everything that has life decays, but the soul remains deathless, for it is immortal. In the middle of the universe, I stand - a god in flesh and blood.
