Man's will
is the determination
to survive
despite all the tribulations
through hard work

and

Man's faith
is the commitment
to succeed
in spite of the difficulties
through innate conviction

It is by man's willpower
that he perseveres to pursue
his dreams to make it a reality
and through faith
he becomes optimistic
that success
is a great possibility

Life is oozing with innate vigor
as sunbeams caress the earth.
Flora sprouts a welcome bliss,
as fauna makes merry a novel day.

The cycle of life is constant
as timepiece keeps clicking,
To reckon how moment in time
promenades into the state of trance.

Though life is quite short
man still experiences apathy,
After existence becomes dreary
when one yields to irrational stance.

Sense of purpose once lost
makes any person susceptible,
To cause dejection and fraught
as if life is a smudge of indolence.

Amazed by the wonders in life,
I am mesmerized by its beauty.
Mysterious as it is fathomless,
The many facets of existence.

Life is a valuable masterpiece,
Of Divinity by a Supreme Being.
He has great power and infinity
With a heart overflowing with love.

I believe that there is God,
An Omnipotent Soul and Creator.
Of an everlasting master plan,
The life that I and you enjoy.

Everybody succumbs to sin,
For we are beings cast in man.
In the likeness of His image,
Made pure but with freed conscience.

Faith in God,
Is the only strength to behold.
Yet it all depend on every individual,
To stand by Him or not.

We have the freedom
To grasp evil or worship good
Man as we are all weak
Only by Faith in God that we become strong.

My mind seeks
for serenity, yet
it does not
occur to me …

My tired body yearns
for a rest, yet
it does not
happen to me …

Silence…
In all its forms
I want to possess
Maybe in eventual death
Such will finally come to me.

Love at first sight
is sort of seeing the love
when beauty strikes the eye
heralding the outer attraction.

Love at first site
is more of finding the love
in a special place unexpected
beckoning the sweet moment.

Love at first kiss
is sensual discovery of love
most sensuous touch that tingles
every nerve of the body and soul.

Love at first hug
is an emotional drive
that expresses the love
in a mutual bearing of respect.
Alas, whatever ways love is found
its degree highly depends on self
on how one feels the kind of love
for love is the thing everyone feels.

Rich or not
We all have got
Chances in lifetime
To live quite sublime.

More rich people become richer
And the majority poor more poorer
It's not how much money brings boost
But having enjoyed life not its cost.

Healthy body makes an active mind
Once sick can't make good things rewind
Beware of taking too much of everything
Good health is wealth and the best thing.
