The ability sincere to not in faith
Waver, to never for once cave in
Like Abraham to Sarah's chocolate
Gift of Hagar--

For by her Midas' touch, she
Turned her own maid to a mistress:
The genesis of a prolong distress--

When God's promises look lingering
Like a night dark and weary,

As pressure like tides keeps rising, but
To tarry still in hope and be decidedly
Waiting for heaven's bright day of reality
Like Joseph when folks, as the but-
Ler chief, are

Excelling in life, marriage and career--

Is verily an uncommon genre of grace,
Especially in this world of rat race.

For man, for comparison and jealousy,
Is no sooner despaired than he'd be
Seeking for an alternative in Ishmael, in-
Stead of waiting more for the blessing

Of a great child Isaac,

Who is the promised son and the only
Inheritor of the land brimming with milk--
Canaan--and dripping with honey.
God is no God that seeth only in
The day but gropeth about at night
God is no God that giveth goats
But collecteth comely cows as tithe

God is no God that is unwise
A sort of sucker, stooge and *****
God is no God that knoweth not wrong
From rigth regardless of what's done

God is no God that simply scorneth
And scoffeth at a sinful fall
God is no God that despiseth
A croaky voice or a hollering call

God is no God that doth not help
That succoureth nay in sorrow
God is no God that doth not care
That expresseth no empathy over a woe

God is no God that's carried up and
Down like Dagon, like a dumb toy
God is no God that taketh away
Manhood to become a killjoy
Lord,

Grant me strength, speed and success,
Helping me to turn corners straight.
My soul deliver from wickedness
That lurk, lying about in wait.

No one the day knows well enough
To the end--its smooth and rough.
Teach me thus in life the way to go
In the fast lanes and the slow.
Life is like bread;
It has crust and crumb
Sides.
Though bread like Panko is crustless; yet how many lives too are challengeless--soft inside out, without a single crusty issue--light or thick, brown or dark?

Little knowledge I could glean informed that: "Significant nutritional loss results from omitting crusts from bread.
Bread crusts are very high in fiber and antioxidants, and contain a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals than the inner portion of bread.
Crusts from darker breads, in particular, contain higher amounts of these nutrients such as pronly-lysine, an antioxidant shown to inhibit 'colon cancer.'"

So a being sans "scars and stripes"of life's downs seldom becomes a flag of glory to be hoisted up, accompanying with "Stars-Spangled" anthem of eclat.
My soul covet nay diamond and jasper,
Which can be stolen or lost altogether;
Neither seek you the fleeting treasures
Of the world with their misty pleasures.

My heart desire not cars nor mansions
Alone in this earth full of constant frictions;
Neither pant you after momentary majesty,
Rejoicing in an ebbing estate of excellency

For moths and worms shall consume apace
At death, this body, and its glamour face.
You cannot the devil confront with riches:
Job would have won cheaply his challenges.

But seek ye rather first the spiritual gifts--
Coveting earnestly heaven's endowments:
For life's purposes are by them established;
Without them dreams cannot be fulfilled.
In biting bitterness, in splitting
Spleen. Swinging like a shuttlecock,
Back and forth, upon a furry hammock:
Visited by horror dreams, scaring
Vision. Insomnia is torture!
And the rooster hath a line drawn
Against the dallying, dragging dawn.
Thaw out icy feelings
On Valentine's;
Hearts become frozen afterward.
