love, nature,
No gold nor silver, weights my needy purse
Spun silk and finery I have no need
Such poverty of wealth be not God's curse
For bless'd the man who covets not for greed
My wealth is in the lilies of the field
The colors of the sunsets thrill my soul
Fruit trees and animals provide their yield
And stewardship to nature is my toll
But verdant forests do not warm a bed
The moon and stars, though friends, are silent stones
And lonely is the footpath which I tread
For one true heart, I'd share my pauper's throne
A golden heart and pauper's paradise
For love and happiness, a humble price

Safely handled by His compassion

The sun will shine brighter tomorrow when
we humans shake off shackles for tribalism
when we understand the importance of our
stewardship of our planet and it’s eco systems,
when we can exchange greed for generosity,
hate for love, jealousy for sympathy, war for peace
then and only then can we plan for the future
please let the sun shine much brighter tomorrow.

As a poet I use words to facilitate.
Whether it is to inspire, for grief, love or debate.
A word to me in rhyming form is God’s gift.
I do not use it for my benefit I use it to uplift.
From my thoughts and spirit these words are written.
To use this gift for hate or to despise is forbidden.
My poetry is God’s stewardship.
My God given talents is to build spiritual relationships.
I’m grateful for everything he’s done for me
To write gives me peace and sets me free.
On His voice and His commands.
My pen time after time changes hands.
Through my trials and tribulation.
My pen is on a mission;
As God’s poetic disciple.
I write the truth from the bible

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..

Midst harsh crises along fright's grueling.

We are spiritual victors when we enjoy our God-granted relationship
As tied to Him with His salvation-fellowship.
Let’s come to Him as called within His stewardship…
Responding to His invitation by His declared friendship.
We are spiritual victors when we yield to Christ’s lordship
As His faith-driven believers under His divine leadership.
Let’s obey Him in our earnest followership…
Thanking His love that blesses our service-partnership.

Worthy beyond the cost of knowledge and skill's measure
Illumining minds, imparting functional counsel's treasure
Solving enigmas; shutting problems' torturous pressure
Directing, driving toward truths that eternally assure
Ordering faith-steps for love-filled fruitful stewardship-pleasure
Marvelous gift from God-the Source of wisdom*, verily sure!

To those who argue: Life is drifting floating away
Something we can’t keep
Neither Love nor happiness deep
To them I’d say:
Even though I borrow all I have, thus I have not
Even though I have nothing at all
There is no more, it is not small
It is everything, while I haven’t got
Preemptively some conclude: Life is lost
All is worthless, nothing is mine
The vault is empty, we die at any cost
Stewardship would argue: Only to borrow
Should not make us value sorrow
As Nature shaped a life less fine

Toiling in the great Lord’s vineyard
Truly worthy sacrifice
Divine labour* of priceless reward
Service valuable, heavenly price.
Good works, pleasantly faith-driven
Shining with cheerful peacefulness
Ministry pursuits, love-given
Honouring God for His graciousness.
Stewardship earnestly faithful
Persistently fulfilled by God’s might
To the needy, prayerful and helpful
Sharing blessings with care’s delight.
*Isaiah 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
