Life's Golden Nuggets

A friendly word that sparks a little hope
A hand to hold when on the downward slope

Care and love expressed in warm embrace
Makes light the obstacles in life one has to face

Someone there to listen and to share
When times are dark and all seems so unfair

To stand together in sun and sometimes rain
A shoulder there to cry on when there is pain

Yes, Life's golden little nuggets do not come
In bars of gold, but in small things their worth become.

Faithfulness

When someone whom you love
Does the same rash things you do
And so you feel a similar pain
In life, that is equality... and true.

For words and actions done or said
Mean nothing substantially concrete,
Unless one swears upon all dead
With faithfulness, seals Love complete.

Cherish the love you have that's rare
Love is a gold coin you spend only once
Foolish games and times you're unfair
May later forfeit your one last chance.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

For John and Wayne

We all had past regrets
But take a moment's pause
The pain we must forget
And the scars these may have caused.

With hope, we move on forward
Unhindered by those hurts,
For the future holds rewards
And ways to regain self-worth.

Each passing day is ours
A chance to win our battles-
Though with age, Time's quickening hours
May soon take us out of the hurdle.

As a friend and a fellow soldier
We hold friendship in the battle of life
With our God and with all our prayers
We'll find victory through all the strife!

Undecided Love (Naani form)

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time
Drives Love to Absence
Frail Gemini's crime.

Blessings Needed

Narrow roads and days with rain
Hone the man through life's seasons
Facing failures and some pain -
There's need for purpose and some reason.

But questions plague the righteous life
That lived at best, the Golden Rule,
For constant suffering and endless strife
Can break the back of the strongest mule.

Seems those who break the laws and such
Live life in velvet cushion, free!
Drink, make merry, and have so much
While the Good don't seem to have any.

Child, 'set your sights on things above'
And not on earthly things, ' t'was said-
But I was hoping the Lord above
Will bless me a little before I was dead.

A Love Letter

Hello, I hope that you are well
Since we said our last goodbye
I miss you so much, you can tell
I have not forgotten, though I try.

Things have not changed, that is true
And though you have moved on today
My love remains, nothing I can do
It always shows, no matter what I say.

So you have someone else - it's alright.
Letting you go is really for the best.
To hold on to you- yes, I have no right
To leave you is to give myself due rest.

So Dearest, take care and be happy
I have memories when you were mine,
I just wrote this short note to sincerely
Wish you the best...Happy Valentine!

Crossing My Sea

I am crossing my red sea
And the waters are high
They're over and above me
And they make me cry.

The burdens are heavy
Gargantuan tasks
The challenges many
More than I can ask.

The staff that You gave me
Is this little pen
For writing is surely
What You intend.

I am crossing my red sea
And my hopes will be bright
As long as You're with me
My life is alright.

My needs You do know
As I journey across
I will trust You and so
I will not suffer loss.

Hold my hand in this sea
Many times I will stumble
Let me reach victory
For I know You are able!


'I love You, O Lord, my Strength.'

Life Story

To Hope is life's necessity
To dream is Freedom sought,

Each day is Opportunity
Another step to Growth.

To Love is truly caring
Affection pure and good

And Faith in God believing
His Grace is spirit food.

To try again is Courage
And to work is Dignity

Thus recorded in our page
This is our Life Story.

Ink Bottle of Life

The pain and sorrows in life's hurdle
Are all contained in bottled record.
For our Experience is the ink bottle
Where the dipped pen draws many words.

The souce of writers' inspirations
From it the passion ink flows through
To weave the lines and compositions
Of life and loves that we once knew.

'He who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor.'

Proverbs 21: 21

A Lesson From Escalante

It was an instant in eternity
Some words that strike and linger

Touch cords in one's humanity
With wisdom to make one ponder

In life we face inevitable truth
There is some failure and defeat

But lessons learned from these bear fruit
When falling comes, to rise and meet

Again to face life's challenges
To not bow down nor count the falling

But to write there boldly in life's pages
The many times one gets up... rising.

'In life, you don't count the many times you fall -
you count the many times you get up.'

(Jaime Escalante)

The Color of Absence

A prism
Of diverse colors
Intertwined
In mixed emotions
Released
In light, a burst of magic
In darkness
Shades become lethargic
Absence
Opens white and blue
Magenta, red, and green
Blended
Feelings left unseen
In sadness lost
Dissolved in hues.

Experiencing God

You make known to me
the paths of life,
And when I pray-
You speak, I listen.

You fill my soul
with a Presence
I cannot grasp,
You live, I die.

You let me see
the depth of Love,
Your Glory comes-
You Are, I am.

You leave no room
for fear or questions,
Your Word I trust-
You lead, I follow.

You are Provider
of all I need,
More than enough-
You give, I'm blessed.

You are Faithful
And so True
Your Word is life!
You are God, I love you.

When Eagles Fall

They will fall and not know why
Disaster ruled their beloved land

When Truth and Faith allowed to die
God released them from His Hand.

So They will crawl and eventually die
Their cries and pleas will be in vain

This nation lost, their God deny
Had pledged a partnership with Pain.

Their profane words that degenerate
Their cursive writing that sealed their fate

Like soaring eagles shot with arrows
Swift is their fall and much is their sorrow.

A Writer's Prayer

In my nothingness, be glorified
For everything I have all come from You,

Remove the dross and foolish pride
With grace, bless everything I do.

Guide my writing with Your Light
Your Words of Truth inspire me,

May all that comes from pen be right
That all men come to see.

Bless the words with Your great Power
A wondrous working from above,

For You, oh God, made me a writer
Declare the hope of Your Mercy and Love!


'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,
turning a man from the snares of death.'

Wishful Dreams

In dreams persistently you are
A present vision, ever haunting

At night like a brilliant distant star
The sight of you fills me with longing.

You call my name there in my dreams
Embraced I am in fleeting shadows

You hold my hand like fading moonbeams
But you're not there in my tomorrows.

If life could be lived in wishful dreams
No waking up in the brightness of sun

Together we will be forever it seems
Of days and of parting... there will be none.

Yes I Am A Christian, Does That Bother You?

My words they come
As I want them to
They may cut some
Does that bother you?

I write my thoughts
My own convictions
Whether they are sought
Not my restriction.

You have your freedom
Well so do I!
My faith consumes
That is no lie.

Yes I'm a Christian
Write most of God,
Share Truth to man
That makes me glad.

I write of Love too
It's part of life,
What all men do-
War, pain, and strife.

Don't try to put me
In your own mold
You let me be
My pen, don't hold.

My Christian words
Just let them fall
This is my Sword-
Don't make the call.

My pen construe
I am a Christian-
I have rights too
Like other humans.


'The Lord will keep you from all harm
He will watch over your coming and you going
both now and forevermore.'

Just When I needed You

Was it the twist of Fate
Or a wink of Destiny
Or the humor of fleeting Chance
That Love brought you to me?

It was a time of sadness
And this heart had so much pain
But you came and filled it with gladness
Yes, to love again was not in vain.

The second Love they say is best
Now I believe that is really true
And all my hurts were put to rest
For you came... just when I needed you!

I love you and thank you!

A Sure Foundation

A sure foundation for molding character
The anvil where the child is honed
A happy family does so much better
Than material things a man had owned.

For a happy family here on earth
Though its home be humble, much is given
The joys it brings has eternal worth
A taste of beyond and a glimpse of heaven.

A happy family will have conversations,
Warm hugs to give, loving hands to hold.
When problems may come, a shoulder to cry on
No fear of rejection, its Love will mold.

Mansions, big houses, don't make a family
Togetherness and affection make it so
Correction and guidance with love to see
A child grows up happy in his tomorrows.


'Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come.'

2 Corinthians 5: 7

Cheerfulness

Cheerfulness is a virus that contaminates
Surrounding all in wondrous pleasant air
A sweet perfume like roses permeates
A sunny view of life that always brings in flair.

Cheerfulness is life's distinct pizzazz
A dancing mood, a musical joy of feeling
Of all human emotions, it is real jazz!
So fun to feel and so very uplifting.

And the wonderful thing for us to realize
Cheerfulness in one we don't need to spend on
It's always free and comes in many a size
Each day, in as many colors you can try on!
