Where One Can See Sand
Another Sees Gold…
Where One Sees just ‘Mud to Come’
Another Sees Snow…
Don’t Get Swallowed Up by Negative Perceptions.

My Life’s Long Enough – Poem
♥
When my time comes (to die)
I want to die with a smile
I want to die young (at heart)
As late in life as I can
.
Throughout my days on this Earth
I want to share life & give
I want to live my life fully
And like I know why I live
.
I want the people to say
That I was honest & fair
& that I loved from His heart
& that my life’s truly art
.
When you say, ‘life is too short’
It just becomes my pet peeve
And when I hear you repeat it
My peace & joy seem to leave
.
To me, it’s like hearing this:
Most High does not have a clue
He gives us big jobs to do
And yet, His days are too few
.
Not me! My life is enough
To do what I’m made to do
It’s in the setting of goals, in love
And then, in following through
.
Oh Yes, I have to agree
Life’s surely too short to fight
Too short to hold on to grudges,
Or to be dead while alive…
.
Yet still, your words have the power
Power to add or abort
And by repeating this phrase so much
You might be cutting yours short
.
I’d like to lock this advice
Within your heart & your mind,
But I’ve no PIN access code
Just PIN this life-giving quote
Everybody dies someday
“How?” is the question, not “When?”
To Live Well & to Die Well
Should be the goal here. Amen.
♥
Happy New Year!!!

There She Goes Away – Poem
.
Here she comes again…
.
And she takes my peace away
Then, she steals my energy
She says it’s too late for my life to change!
.
Here she comes again…
.
And I run, so much faster than I should,
Or freeze disabled by ‘I wish I could’
Unable to hear – unable to see…
.
Here she comes again…
.
She is the cunning first cousin of fear
She’s so slick. Oh yes, she is & her goal is clear
She wants to destroy my faith
When my victory’s near
.
So I doubt…
.
Still I know
If I follow her advice
I… will pay the price
.
If it’s right it is Him
If it’s not it is me
If it’s done it is we…
.
So, I shout:
.
Father! This is the first time when it really counts!
I don’t want to make mistakes
I am so scared I could fail!
.
Suddenly, I realize…
Whatever He’s promised before
He has always done…
.
So I pray…
.
I know He remembers me. I know my Redeemer lives!
.
There’s no time to rush
There’s no time to wait
There’s no time to lie to myself
No time to complain
.
Hence, I say:
.
It will be okay, again. I know who I am!
These words paint my future
.
There she goes away…
.
I See You. Unbroken. – Poem
♥
I hear you…
You have a beautiful way with words
Such an able mind you have,
And yet it’s so sad
.
I see you…
Broken faith, broken dreams
Broken body as it seems…
.
I feel you…
.
I don’t know you, but I do
I’m so human… just like you
I’ve known pain for many years
I believe it rhymes with ‘tears’
.
In my world…
.
Poems, prayers, sermons helped
When I hurt so much I yelped,
And when pain was lingering –
Chronic, constant, deep within
.
I see you…
.
Unbroken. I see you unchained
It is not a word, but I C U unpained
Free from all your tears
And those wasted years
.
I see you…
.
I see you unbroken
I see you unbound
I know you are lost
Yet, I see you found
.
In my Father’s Heart –
In your Father’s Hand
Unbroken.
♥
See You in Tomorrow.
.
I admit. I have made so many mistakes
I have twisted my life with my twisted ways
.
I did things before they should have been done
I run when I should have sat. I sat when I should have run.
.
There’s no way to turn back the hands of time
What is done already cannot be undone…
Till it can.
.
So, stop dragging me through yesterdays
The damage is done, but I’m not done yet
.
It is not too late – these are only delays
Did I tell you I knew the Maker of Days?
.
You too need to focus on how far you have come
And stop crying about how far you must go, so…
.
If you don’t plan to carry on – stay out of my way
Your fears have been slowly poisoning my faith!
.
There’s too much at stake. l must walk away…
Doubts can only take us back to our yesterday
.
See You in Tomorrow.
I Pray that I Meet You There.

One Must Do what One Can
…
ONE needs to pray, and do what ONE can
Day after day – ONE step at a time…
…
Too many sorrowful tongues fall upon too many deaf ears
Too many listen to voices designed for war and not peace…
…
Too many eyes stay widely shut, too few remain wide open
Too many dreams, too many lives have now been killed & aborted.
…
Too many painful words too many people are speaking
In too many broken homes too many children are living,
…
Too many do not even try because it takes ‘too much’ to make it
Rather than learn from the best – they stay busy envying & hating…
…
Is it far more tragic that too many die?
…Or that far too many do not have a life?
…
How many answers can one receive when so many questions arise?
Too many pages provide for so many – waaay too many whys…
…
Figuring out too many things consumes too many years;
Fixing one’s gaze on too many ‘too manys’
Creates too many tears & fears…
…
There sure seem to be too many truths, yet
Worth mentioning is the following one:
ONE needs to pray, and do what ONE can
Day after day – ONE step at a time… 🙂

‘RETROSPECTION’
♣
My past is a story of a tortured soul
Trapped in a jail with invisible doors
No way out and no way in –
Complete unawareness of being within
…In the heart of the greatest lie…
◊
I was the most faithful friend of my greatest enemy
I was the lost coin
Looking for ways to be destroyed
Locked away. Locked in…
♠
Believing religiously that I held the key
Surrounded by darkness from inside of me
I was a vampire, not even a leech –
so convinced I lived, convinced I was free
Chasing after shadows and fighting with winds
I just kept running around, like a chicken – beheaded one
Just running in circles, running in the darkness
Flipping my crippled wings in my utter madness
Admiring the image of my ugliness
Tripping against each stone on my way
In the dirtiest soil I kept washing my face
Not knowing why I kept running away –
Away from the world!
Away from myself!
Away from my fate!
Running after freedom, getting more in-caged!
◊
I tried! …To break away from the spell of his darkness!
But was overwhelmed by fear and tangible sadness…
♥
…After I experienced all deaths that were mine
He surrounded me with a silent shout singing:
‘Girl, for you my body has been drained of blood.
How many more times will I pass you by?
How many more crimes will you bring to life?
Recognize me – I am He… Acknowledge me now.’
♥
My past is a story of a tortured soul
Trapped in a jail with invisible doors… 🙂
