The Spirit of The Lord is
Ministering through my life;
see through my eyes,
hear through my ears,
talk through my mouth,
feel through my Heart,
understand through my Spirit,
touch through my hands,
walk through my legs,
think through my mind,
love through my being,
yet beyond my comprehension.
Here,
I stand in awe because
my mortal understanding is not
yet sufficient to apprehend all
that permeates my being.
But in my weakness and folly
His banner over me is love.
I cherish His admonition
and counseling
He instructs with love,
diligence and patience.
His amazing Grace towards
me is beyond measure,
in that he honors me
with his benevolence
Wisdom and clear direction,
his hidden and dark secret
made lighter to my understanding.
My heart is so thankful.
I say Thank You Lord!!!

So much bitterness
in the heart of man
makes me wonder
if there is hope at all
for reconciliation
or to remedy
this bad situation
and challenges
trying to consume the masses.
I still wonder
if this looming menace
can be contained and diverted
or replaced by something
more meaningful.
This is a time for
sober reflection.
What do we really
gain in all of these?
Isn't there a better way,
there must be.
Now that their mind is made up,
have you thought about
the next step to take?
You need to make a
move to relocate now.
I've always told you
to be careful of what you seek
or you'll find hell.
Now you are at a crossroad.
What are you gonna do,
you tell me.

Embrace and hold tight with your heart
and two hands that which endears your life with gladness
and never ever let go,ever.

At this Moment Here and Now,
There Is No Space,There Is No Time.
Everything Is Just Is,The I In Me Is Lost And I Am.

If I must be perfect before
I can be accepted by you,
Remember then,
that the same perfection
you seek of me,
that same perfection
you demand,
The same perfection which
you seldom possess,
Will exclude you,
because you,
my dear,
Are not perfect.

The tenderness in
your beauty softens
the lines of sorrow
in my wrinkled face.
The elegant movement
of your graceful steps
flows like that of a running brook
in a quiet country side.
The velvet softness of your hand
reminds me of the
tenderness of a rose petal.
You my dear,
are a soft sweet flowing
melody of a symphony orchestra,
a beautiful work of art,
unique and complex,
And it amazes me
how in your complexity
you are profoundly so simple.
You are etched in gold
by the hand of The creator.
May your days be filled with all
that is beautiful and Devine.
You are loved a lot.

Don't judge me by my looks
And don't read me by the books
I am brash and I am kind
I am hard to define
I am bold. I am shy
I am grounded, but I fly
I love, and I give
I cradle, I forgive
Though soft I may feel
I am thunder, I am steel
I am smiles and I am laughter
I am happily ever after
I am tears and I am ache
I am a mess when I break
I hold tightly, but I know
When it's time to let go
I am dove, I am hawk
I am the rose and the rock
I am rain. I am sun
I am I. I am woman
