AC Jacob is an ex-Navy guy
Superannuated, and to service, said bye.
An artist and does a lot of painting.
The last supper painting is everlasting. 
Be witnessed by the naked eye.
 
He takes everything with a sigh. 
His mouth ***** playing will touch the sky.
Talents are simply exciting. 
AC Jacob 

Now, by nurturing plants, he will comply.
Pours water on plants so they may not dry.
With hobbies, he will keep himself singing. 
He is in the church choir, leading. 
Sixty-eight is young, but he will still fly.

Meeting them after many a year
To my heart, they are so dear.
Flash back, circled in a gush.
Old faces with new blush
Gathered together
For a big bash
Big bang fun
With class
Mates
My foundation and my backbone. 
My fortress and my rocky stone 
You are my horn of salvation. 
You are the strength of my emotions. 
Oh, High Tower, sad days are gone. 

My buckler, I bow to your throne. 
Oh, deliverer, take me to your zone.
Always be my motivation. 
Almighty God 

Mercy is that you always shown
With that, I have steadily grown.
I see all your help in action. 
You make clear all your notions. 
You are the only God well known.

Psalm 18;2
Amazing nature keeps calling
Greets and wakes me every morning
Song it sings differs from others
Pleases me with its own druthers
Boosts my spirits with out failing

Keeps changing as per its timing
Gives enough room for my musing
Wonderful things that it triggers
Amazing nature

In seasons, it remains blooming
Though its changing keeps me grooming
Thrilled I shall be when it answers
Adds essence for my new ventures
For ever it keeps me guessing
Amazing nature
Your good morning wish comes with a rose
Pinkish hue, your nature it shows
Some colours like this can heal
So complacent I feel.

All that I send back
is thank you and
an affable
tingling

1 Peter 5:8
Having a big heart, we think it's enough. 
The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, and peace, which are not rough. 
Forbearance, kindness, and goodness belong to the spirit. 
Faithfulness and self-control have their merits.
A big heart is not a burden or a bluff. 

Take it lightly; it is not tough. 
It should be practiced to get that stuff. 
Empathy and care for others we should inherit 
Big heartedness

By lifting up others moods, you look buff.
Liberal thinking releases you from the cuffs.
Big heartedness should well be in limit
So everybody can cheer it
Kindness and goodness belong to the tuffs.

Cricket World Cup T-20, 2024
India has won it, what more
Indians made it and put a seal
The team had played with utmost zeal
Had made convincingly good score

Gave Rainbow Nation to explore
Surprising, what an unheard squeal
Won $2.45 million to reveal
Cricket World Cup

India's team work, one should adore
The win is never thought before
Kolis last T 20 played with feel
For coach Dravid it's last deal
Lot of tizzy things come ashore

Half covered view of my window
Is translucent flowered curtain
These flowers under the shadow
Those outside yet to bloom and certain
Will bridge the gap in thoughts meadow

Other half is an open view
Tree leaves dancing to nature's tune
Mild breeze engulfs belive me you
Your numbers I begin to croon
Singing tunes I enjoy my view
Your promise

of love afloat

like daffodils

on a mirage
Cumulonimbus
clouds midst of normal clouds mix
and emerge cooly
The way they confuse pilots
Evil thoughts do play havoc
Dark eyes 
That smile at me
Same eyes tell me all things. 
I fell prey to those eyes lowly.

Love is in the air. Wonderful. 
Walking a lonely path alone 
Pitter-patter sounds are well known. 
I can hear some whispers, which is delightful. 

Drizzle, tell me stories that are meaningful. 
That makes me very cheerful.
When I am crossing the love zone.

Touching and gently passing awakes the kid in me
Reminds me of the saying
"East or west you are the Best"

Candid Muse..oh, what an ebullience!
Ease bubbles up when I lighten my heart.

Feral pigeons are so human-friendly. 
I can call them city birds gently. 
Mostly found in parks and buildings 
Feeds on grains, seeds, berries, and things
Known as "rock doves," most commonly 

Pigeons symbolise 'Peace' biblically. 
Have intelligence, as per the findings. 
They are found in human dwellings. 
Feral Pigeons 

They are not aggressive, typically.
I can make friends with them so easily. 
Rays of hope seen in their sightings 
I wish they knew our hidden feelings. 
In our neighbourhood, they are seen widely.

One lacks many things in community. 
Survives mostly with anxiety. 
Poverty is the word for that. 
To overcome it, education is a must. 
All should drink water without impurities.
 
Everybody should donate to charity. 
Then an amount can be spent with certainty. 
Employment gives a lot of trust. 
Fight Poverty
 
Free health care for all, without disparity Childwood nutrition care with equality
Should be taken care of with some trust. 
In a democracy, what should we entrust? 
Remove poverty with more clarity.

And goodness from the God of hope
