The world is full of pain and inadequacies,
Dripping with many an evil men,
Whose hearts burn with ungratefulness,
Whose desires are only but selfish.

What if, amongst these men,
You came out and stood alone?
Released light amidst darkness,
Radiated your goodness in every corner.

What if you became generous and saved,
Those who are persecuted by the wrath of lack?
Stopped for a while and helped the old woman,
Trying to cross the street while others mock her.

What if you, you never judged anyone?
But showered them with fountains of love,
Made them realize who they are,
And what they can do to change the world.

What if, you appreciated everything around you?
Even if they caused much pain for you to bear,
Is it not what the Good Lord commanded us?
In everything give thanks, always.

If you can honor everything however small they are,
If you can love everyone whoever they are,
If you can learn the art of gratitude in everything,
Then your life would be simple and fulfilling.

Times may tarnish on you,
Seasons may break your heart,
But give in to no weakness,
Stay strong, for the Lord says so.

You may fall many times,
People will mock you of your failure,
But give in to no self-pity,
Stay strong, for the Lord says so.

Every way may be so dark for you,
Every path you take halts,
But give in to no surrender,
Stay strong, for the Lord says so.

Only the strong in the Lord survives,
Those who can persevere,
Will feed on the goodness of the Lord.

Focus is like a walking stick to a blind man,
When he loses the way, it guides him,
Gives him the touch of his path,
As he moves towards his destiny.

Focus is like a shoot of the tree,
It guides the branches in alignment,
When one branch falls off,
The tree still has hope of growing.

With focus, mountains are leveled,
With focus, oceans are crossed,
With focus, clear ways are made,
With focus, destinies are fulfilled.

What if it is only focus that you lost?
That’s why you are messed up,
That’s why you can’t accomplish a task.

If you focus today, you will reach your destiny,
If you focus today, you will battles,
If you focus today, you will conquer enemies,
If you focus today, you will have what you need.

Be focused!

It’s just a dream, they will gossip,
But who knows the end?
Like Joseph believe.

With faith make a step,
Focus and you will achieve,
It’s only a dream when you sleep.

Wake up, overlook their whispers,
Though it’s just a dream at the beginning,
If you persist, it will be a harvest.

When it is done,
They will come,
But will they say, it’s just a dream?
No, they will praise you.

Today I woke up with a smile,
Not that daily smile, but the one with glory,
I could feel the touch of your love,
I could hear the whisper of your affection,
I could smell the romance of us,
Moving through the core of us.

Today my Love, as this day we celebrate,
I want to love you like the sun loves the day,
Like the stars cherish the nights,
To hold you like the sky holds the new moon,
To walk with you like my own shadow,
For you are the making of my life.

The glory of my love I bestow upon you,
I will hide in my heart like a treasure,
I will preserve your heart like a precious stone,
I will clothe you with love like a bridegroom,
I will radiate our love to shine in our paths,
For you are the one with me as I am with you

What if love was the only cure,
To the ailments facing the world?

What if we could stop judging,condemning,
And start sharing love with each other unconditionally?

What if we could learn the art of forgiveness,
And unclothe ourselves of hate and malice and revenge?

What if those we despise today, those we see as nothing,
Are the ones to set us free from our shackles?

What if we could stop being too religious,
And embrace the art of human equity?

What if we shade off the scales of pride,
And guarded ourselves with suits of humility?

Life is short, live it wisely,
Share love unconditionally,
Bless those who curse you,
And leave vengeance to the Lord.

Before you act, ask yourself;
What if...

Dear Love...

If only you could allow me,
To stay longer in your presence,
My heart will be calm and peaceful,
And this pain will sublime a little.

If you could see the love in my eyes,
Which are now being drained of life,
You wouldn't walk away,
To let me die in loneliness.

I beg thee, my sweet Love,
Don't let me cry in hopelessness,
While this disease feasts on my bones,
The bones that served you with affection.

Let me not wander, for death is near to my soul,
I can hear its whispers, waiting to take me home,
Will you, my Love, allow to rest in your arms for a little?
As I wait for my departure time.

I want to let go of my breath while holding you,
I want to be weak while I see your face,
I want to say goodbye while you stand by,
Can you my Love, allow me in our presence?

If only I can die in your arms, my Love,
I will die an honorable death,
For there, in your presence I where I found love,
It's where my soul found refuge.
