heart,
What is inside a human heart
Is it sunshine warm and bright
Maybe fluffy soft white clouds
Or a full moon on a dark still night
Is there precious perfumed flowers
Or peaceful gentle rain
The glistening on a calm ocean
Or the joy of a sunrise and sunset again
Is it abundant with laughter
Brimming with memories and treasures
Or simply overflowing with love
At the awe of life’s pleasures

Maybe fluffy soft white clouds
Or a full moon on a dark still night
Is there precious perfumed flowers
Or a peaceful gentle rain
The glistening of a calm ocean
Or a stunning sunrise or sunset again
Is it full and abundant with laughter
Or brimming with memories and life's treasures
Perhaps simply overflowing with pure love
At the awe of life’s pleasures

appreciation, devotion, longing, lost, love, repetition, trust,
Lost in the world, no direction, no love, to be found,
No one cares for you, animosity knows no bounds.
When you're off course, you need not be alone,
A little help is all you need, let love lead you home.
Love is the compass, when you're astray in the woods,
Languishing in the darkness, you feel, gone for good.
A glimmer of hope, when, someone finds where you roam,
Let love lead the way, let love lead you home.
Temptation is abundant, too easy to go astray,
Loyalty is the director, helps to show you the way.
Show your thankfulness, for the love you've been shown.
Let love lead the way, let love lead you home.

Cloudless sky, naked shades of azure.
Oh, summer vibrant, resplendent sun,
We thank Lugh for his longest luster,
Grateful for the bounty he gives everyone.
Sun lights awareness in every entity.
Oh, boldest, brightest waking day,
Season of growth, splendor, and fertility.
Abundant Earth is teeming with DNA.
We plant the new seeds in our souls.
Oh, wondrous, endless fire regenerative,
May we sip from love and passion’s bowls.
May we always pause, reflect and be appreciative.
Each summer we must willingly shed our tropes,
And rediscover each other with newfound hopes.

beauty, meaningful, sea,
There is a little cottage down by the sea
That serves warm scones and pots of tea
An old tired cottage made of stone
That stands pridefully all alone
An elderly couple sit outside
She hands him a scone with jam and cream applied
He pours her tea from a teapot of vivid blue
As the morning sun wakes and lazily peeks through
A scruffy little dog wanders over to her seat
Plonks himself down on top of her feet
Happily they sit at this little cottage made of stone
A cottage abundant with love and memories
They call home!

love, religious, spiritual, truth,
When I say: "Love and more love" to you,
What I’m also saying is,
I bestow a brotherly double blessing upon your soul
so faithful and true
When I say: "Love and more love" to you
What I’m spiritually saying is,
I send a Resurrection greeting kiss unto you,
delivered always faithful and true ...
A double blessing born again each day anew
Abundant love given to you, from me, in this life;
and more abundant love given to you, from me, in the next life
My deepest wishes of a double blessing for you,
are sealed with a holy kiss from my two lips
This poem is my tribute to the talented poet, James Edward Lee Sr.

love, spiritual, visionary,
I stared long into the sun,
and got blinded by the truth
My carnal eyesight was burned away
as I descended down from atop my roof
Now I walk among you sightless,
yet seeing everything
Being blinded by the truth is most liberating
Come all ye children,
sons and daughters of the Most High
Lift your heads to the sky
and open your eyes
Gaze long into the sun,
let abundant light come in from this sun stare
Then go forth, now color blind,
revealing the nature of God to whomsoever everywhere

Let your heart speak
Let it be open and free
Don’t keep it locked tight
Then throw away the key
Let it feel all life’s wonders
Let it hear natures melody
Let it know the warmth of love
Let it always guide you safely
Let it forever be full of kindness
Abundant with joy and peace
Let it always listen to others
Let your heart speak…..

black love,
Will you take me into your space,
cradle me upon the sultry limbs of your nebulous grace?
the expansive arms of the universe,
where peaceful slumber awaits.
Your poetry laden comets,
bore abundant love;
all towed in freights.
Gingerly drinking in the depth
of your face,
seemingly blindfolded;
I'll tread each dark crater.
My head in a swirl of your majestic trace,
where I would stumble upon
a love ever so pure.

A GLORIOUS WORK
A glorious work shall be done
Thru my blessed Lord.
A wondrous work within my soul,
A work beyond reward.
Not I shall do this work, I know.
‘Tis in His power alone.
Yet, when I give myself to Him
Through me His love is shown.
Oh, do this glorious work in me.
I pray Your will I’ll do.
Let only You be seen in me,
Thus, I abide in You.
Then I shall show Your wondrous love
To all within my sphere,
And when You come to take me home
The words “well done” I’ll hear.
I won’t deserve Your thanks, dear Lord,
But this one thing I know,
The abundant grace You give to me
Is more than I can show.

appreciation, god, life, love, thanks,
Wake up every day, give thanks to the Lord
An expression of gratitude you can surely afford
Then take a minute, just a minute, to contemplate
Is there anyone on this Earth whom I think that I hate
If so, purge that hate from your heart; it has no place there
Consign it to ashes; of its return - please beware
After that one more minute - OK - maybe two
Infuse your heart with love for every person you knew
and now know... at home, at school, at work, on the street
Vow to receive with good cheer every new face you meet
Manifest the image of God; He's yours to glorify
Fill your heart with pure love ~ in abundant supply

blessing, christian, faith, hope, inspirational love, jesus, peace,
At the end of each moment,
Lies a seed – sometimes an echo,
Stirring the depths of yearning,
Breathless as prayers, burning.
At the end of each nighttime,
Lies a weed – sometimes a thought,
Reflecting the music, the hues
Peaceful mysteries, enchanting stillness.
At the end of each risk,
Lies a deed – sometimes a dream,
Whispering of life, silent and meaningful,
Despairing of the star strewn skies.
Beyond the moments, the nights, the risks,
Abides a wisdom, reassuring and flavored in kisses,
Abundant as the gentling of a tenderness,
Brought to life by the urgency of God’s grace,
His life, breathless as praise, poured out so the world,
Can be saved…

I want to dream
Like flying across the sky
Finding out greater heights
Seeing others view of reality
And be one with the sky.
I want to dream
Swimming underneath the ocean
Searching water creatures
Fishes, clamps, and corals
Discern what their importance’s are
In our existence and health.
I want to dream
Walking underneath the ground
Exploring things that make us
Wealthy and abundant
Seeing the sources of gold, diamond
And any mineral alike.
I want to dream all my life
To enjoy everything
With my dream Self
As I always know
It’s another form of my reality.

caregiving, hope, love,
I give you more abundant life
I've cleansed you of all sin
I've clothed you with undying love
The apple of my eye you've been.
With bread and wine I fed you
Flesh of my flesh you are
You are my bride elect
I am your 'bright and morning star.
As we unite in marriage
In the body we're made one
It's a three-fold cord that binds us
Father, Holy Ghost and Son.
Eternity awaits us
The long awaited kingdom's come
A life of heavenly proportions
And it's only just begun.

When I have slipped beyond
the surly bonds of Earth,
And put on Immortality,
exuberant joy, I will put on like a robe,
When the blessed Saviour I shall see.
Unspeakable joy, peace, and love
will be seen on every face.
Oh, the happy reunions that will abound
In this lovely, Holy place!
Jesus the author of our salvation
and creator of all mankind,
will receive me into a more abundant life
than any on Earth I could find.

care, life, love, poverty,
She's a little girl aging nine or ten,
Short, serene, slim, with a look luminous;
Obtaining no formal education,
Possessing many a dream glorious;
At sharp five, every morning, her day dawns,
Her dirty sack she takes and off she goes;
Roads, rail tracks, parks, and even private lawns,
What will she get? And where? She never knows;
Parents long unwell and struggling siblings,
She serves them utmost with care abundant;
She collects old bottles, pans, iron strings,
Exchanges and makes a meager amount;
Thus, the little goddess solemnly toils,
Feeds all, sleeps hungry, often, full of smiles.

together, uplifting, visionary,
Life in the streets will be erased.
Smiles on many, many faces.
Luxury at its best is on your plate.
The love of God from you or your family,
Will never be in any form separate.
Giving will never be outside of your vocabulary.
You, your wife, kids, and other descendants will be legendary.
Life to the fullest will be lived.
The global society will gain from the works of your family and you.
An abundant life you and your family will be living, too.
In other words, you, your wife and kids will be living the life that’s true.

9th grade, mother, mother daughter,
“My Mother’s Love”
My mother, like a mother bear
Protects me with abundant care
In things she says I should not dare
Like whining that my life’s not fair
A kid I am who does not know
The outside dangers that life throw
My mom is always there to grow
Me so I face life’s highs and lows
My mother, friend, my guide in life
An ever-present cup of light
The ever-shining star at night
Who never ceases to burn so bright!

bible, fruit, spiritual,
From the fullness of God's spirit
Receive his LOVE so perfectly divine
Under the filling up of ecstasy
In the JOY that proves God's sign
The contentment God's holiness brings
Over our troubles and battles brings PEACE
For in the struggles that come our way
True PATIENCE comes from God never to cease
Help comes from the Lord Jesus himself
Every act of KINDNESS he'll graciously provide
Such is God's abundant GOODNESS upon us
Proving his FAITHFULNESS so in him to confide
Inspiring to know our Lord's GENTLENESS
Righteousness perfecting to his holiness
Indwelling within helping our SELF CONTROL
This is fruit of the spirit God's gloriousness

I Need.......
-------------------
I need a magic needle
To sew,
Abundant love with my heart,
Dignity with my society,
And a package of peace
With my country as a whole!
Dear friends,
This is my goal.
I need a magic soap
To clean,
Rage from my soul,
Passion from my society,
And ferocity of violence
from my country as a whole!
Dear friends,
This is my goal.
I need a magic brush
To paint,
Vicious glimpses of terrorism,
Enormity of corruption,
Darkness of dirty politics,
And the eye of poverty
for my country as a whole!
Dear friends,
This is my goal.

Right to love is right to life
A choice to hate is definitely an invitation of death
True love is a blessing but otherwise could be a curse
A life deprive of love is worse than a life sentenced to death in the court of law
Love is a tree of life and fruits are enormous blessings
In love is abundant wealth and good health
In love is everlasting peace and sound mind
In love is boundless joy and immeasurable happiness
Seek to love always for our world to remain alive

christian, dedication, deep, god,
With deep longing, when "Ancient of Days" I meet
From above, with God's love, covered by Christ's blood
I'll sing, "Hallelujah" while choirs and church bells ring.
The Divinity of Christ, so mysterious, expressed in Trinity
Unfathomable awe, lying prostrate before the Creator of All.
"Oh Ageless One, Your sacrifice for sinners is matchless
You bled, a crown of thorns upon Your head
So we might have life more abundant and free
With Him, Truth and Light, no darkness can dim."

celebration, thanksgiving,
With grateful hearts we gather near
To celebrate this day, so dear
Sharing with loved ones, side by side
A grand, abundant feast appears.
To celebrate this day, so dear
We reap a bountiful harvest, here
Sitting together around the table
Soft glow of candle light appears.
Sharing with loved ones, side by side
This blessed moment in our lives
Then holding hands, we bow in prayer
To thank God for all that He provides.
A grand, abundant feast appears
With thankful hearts we shed a tear
The table is spread with tender care
Our bond of love is true and clear.

There
is a
light shining
in the darkness
giving sight to the
blind. There is hope for the
hopeless, help for the helpless,
peace for the troubled, joy for the
sorrowful, love for the unloved, life
for the dead. Jesus is the Light of the
world. He is our hope, our help, our peace,
our joy. His love is amazing,
abundant, unending. He
gives life everlasting
to those who receive
Him, embrace Him.
His mercy
never
fails.
