Opportunity gently knocks
  Whereas temptation demands to be let in
Can be applied to being on a diet, or other situations as well.

Find peace with your baffled mind
Induce equanimity in between your struggling breaths
Remedy the desolation with your flowing tears
Resign to the solitude with your dispirited shadow

Catch the glimpses with your swollen eyes
Wear a smile with your shivering lips
Seek solace in between your trembling fingers
Walk the steps with your hesitant feet

Gather strength from your shattered pieces
Feel your existence amidst your aching soul
Endure the sorrow with your feeble self
Preserve the love in your failing heart
a hint of autumn
pervaded the morning's air
twas cooler in feel
Christ knows your pains, he sees your every tears.
Christ hears your every cry, he Loves you so much.
Christ strengthen us, so that when we suffer here.
That when we do suffer, his strength helps us to overcome.
So he may use us to draw others to him through our lives.
Because when people see Christ within us, they want it to.
So trust him, for he wants only the very best for us his people.
He wants to use us, to bring more to his beautiful Kingdom.
So lay down your will, pick up his will for your life instead.
You know that it is true what they say, don't you?
That love is blind...
But do you know why?
Because her lover carved out her eyes when he learned that she saw him with another woman.
Even still, she loved him to her last breath in his arms.
adorning night's drape
glittering arrays of stars
sparkling like jewels
I once quoted (a few years back) ...
"It takes a very strong woman
to remain gentle!"

...believe me, I wasn't wrong!

This kind of special woman
must be equal parts of gentleness
and strength - this is what makes
a warrior of a woman emotionally strong!

She must be kind,
tender and sensitive -
and she must know her total value
and self-worth,

She must be brave,
courageous and self-disciplined -
but she must also be empathetic and kind towards herself--as well as with
everyone else on earth!

"It takes a very strong woman
to remain gentle!"

...this is my little secret,
for a woman to find self-happiness,

She mustn't let the world
turn her sour - in keeping with this,
she will never, ever lose
her loving tenderness,
her precious sweetness,
or her delicate, unique softness.

Always trying to self-inspire.
One can never be strong enough
In this cruel, unkind world!
