Never taking anything for granted.

When we speak, our words give life.

When we speak, we can remove strife.

When we speak, we can touch the soul.

When we speak, we can take away the toll.

When we speak, we recognize power.

When we speak, it  means more than an hour.

When we speak, we choose love.

 

 

 

Better Days

Despite life’s daily challenges, know that ahead lie better days.

Trust God in all your ways.

The enemy seeks to kill and destroy.

We must always remain aware of his ploy.

Better days are ahead.

No matter how long the days or frustrating the hour.

God has ultimate power.

Better days are ahead.

While we try to figure things out.

God has worked them out.

Better days are ahead.

Remain bold, persistent and diligent.

Better days are ahead.

 

 

 

I Hear

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

I hear the sound of singing birds, welcoming the dawn of a new day.

I hear the sound of traffic as people go on their way.

I hear the sound of the hustle and bustle of city streets, that never seems to end.

I hear the sound of dust blowing in the wind.

I  see and hear travelers throughout the day.

Travelers, whose minds never stray.

I hear the sound of voices, including my own, plotting every move.

I hear the plans of those who have nothing to prove.

I hear life.

 

Moments

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Moments are precious and certainly a treasure.

Moments of joy and laughter are beyond measure.

Moments of hopes and dreams remind one of what could be.

Moments  remain sacred for eternity.

There are moments to teach.

Moments to reach and moments to preach.

Moments filled with life lessons to learn.

Moments for which a heart can yearn.

Moments filled with uncertainty.

Moments filled with clarity.

Moments that excite.

Moments that ignite.

Moments the Most High seeks our attention.

Moments that one doesn’t need to mention.

Some moments are for a season, others are for a lifetime.

Yet other moments are prime.

Moments, we can’t shake.

Moments are what we make.

 

Unshattered Dreams

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Been through many trials and tribulations, yet I still have unshattered dreams.

Been beaten, but not broken, yet understanding that life isn’t always what it seems.

Been confronted by an enemy.

An enemy that can’t touch my inner mystery.

I still have unshattered dreams.

Been counted out, spoken harshly about.

I still have unshattered dreams.

Been through the fire.

God has given me the strength I desire.

I still have unshattered dreams.

Been waiting for what I thought would never come.

I still have unshattered dreams.

No matter the circumstances, or the hour.

I know God holds all power.

I still have unshattered dreams.

 

Love

Love is a feeling you notice right away.

Your heart starts to race and you wear a smile all day.

Pleasant thoughts permeate throughout.

Love is what life’s all about.

Love means kindness, love means caring.

True love means sharing.

Love is all powerful. Love is amazing.

Love helps one grow.

Sets the heart aglow.

Taken above.

There’s nothing better than love.

 

 

 

A New Day

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Along with a new day comes new blessings.

These are more than just window dressing.

A chance to make what was wrong right.

Another opportunity to continue the good fight.

An opportunity to look back at all that God has done.

Knowing that His love, guidance and mercy are bar none.

A new day presents challenges, all of which can be met.

We have to forge ahead with little regret.

To see a new day is worth thanking the Most High for.

From Him, we may receive many more.

 

 

Happiness

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Happiness is more than riches, silver and gold.

It’s having the strength to be courageous and bold.

Forging ahead when told no.

Removing what doesn’t allow you to grow.

Happiness is recognizing what’s important in life.

Remaining steadfast and strong in the mist of strife.

Keeping God and family in a special place.

You need their warm embrace.

Happiness is stepping out of faith.

Stepping out on faith is the base.

Even when you don’t see the staircase.

Happiness is knowing no matter what you go through.

It all begins with you.
