Enchantment
Rain falls
Like teardrops to release...
Allowing the sunshine to nourish,
And increase our happiness.
Awakening to manifest hope.
Freeing to reap a joyful harvest!
Knowing a faith tested brings abundance.
Anticipated and flowing to encourage...
An enchantment that comes to bestow.
And flourishes uninhabited,
To enjoy in the moment it arrives.

Faith Proves
Faith proves complex when tested
Sweet when manifested
Faith fills needs to break through
Tested it seemly sinks to depths blue
Faith is a glowing light in a dark tunnel
Faith tested is a dead ending channel
Faith is a destined escape
Faith tested loses all form and shape
Faith is the cry to all battles
Yet tested falls about in loose shambles
Faith is wholesome and complete
Yet tested it feels so much like defeat
Faith moves mountains
Faith tested seems like bondage constrains
Faith is a well planted seed
Yet tested the feeling is hopeless indeed

Sunshine vs. Darkness
The sunshine keeps the darkness away. The darkness takes over but soon the sunshine takes over again when its raining sunshine still comes through. We always want sunshine to light our way. But others want the darkness to stay around. When darkness falls many people come alive, others sleep and wait for the sunshine to come again. We all want different things for sunshine or for darkness. Some love the sunshine others love darkness. I see all the saddness when its sunshine. But yet the darkness I see all happiness. Sunshine brings saddness and the darkness brings happiness and excitement!

Befor The Next Teardrop Falls
If she brings you happiness
Then i wish you both the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if she ever breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Though it hurts to let you go
Darling i want you to know
I'll run to you if ever you should call
And if i should ever hear
That she's made you shed a tear
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side
To dry away each teardrop you've cried
If she ever leaves you blue
Just remember i love you
And i'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
Alli estare candor me necesites a tu lado
Para borrar cadda lagrima que haya llorado
If he ever leaves you blue
Just remember i love you
And i'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there, i'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

This I Affirm
Please bestow upon me,
The abundance I wish...
To be left at my doorstep,
Now.
Not tomorrow.
I have yet to touch that dawn that comes.
And remove those shadows of grief,
That would have me believe I cast them!
Send them back to attach,
To whomever and where they came.
Strap that fast to their backs.
Open the door!
And release my mind from its limitation!
This I affirm!
This...
I demand!
If I am here to do Your will,
This...
You will see as done for me!
And with my faith You will be,
Eternally believed.
This I affirm.
As Your gifts I receive.
In a gratefulness,
That keeps me knowing I am Yours to bless.
Remove those obstacles off my path.
And away from my doorsteps.

Teardrops
Teardrops.
Teardrops.
I sit in my room looking out at the rain.
My tears are like crystals.
They cover my windowpane.
I was thinking of our lost romance and how it should have been.
Oh, if we only could start over again.
I know youll never forgive me dear, for running out on you.
I was wrong to take the chance with somebody new.
I sit in my room looking out at the rain.
My tears are like crystals.
They cover my windowpane.
I know youll never forgive me dear, for running out on you.
Oh, how I iong to do the things we used to do.
Im lonely and blue but Ill try to get along without you.
Ah, ah, teardrops, teardrops.
I had to gain faith, hope and charity.
God only knows the boy who will love me.
Oh, if we only could start over, again.

Rainy Daze
Tears falling from my sky
Mixing with the raindrops running from my eyes
And our sky may cry in crystal showers
And tomorrow may seem a hundred miles away
And your hurting may be strong for the moment
But this sadness cannot stay
Bring me the sunshine to dry up all the rain
The sunshine to put and end to our pain
Now you know the years have been hard ones
You see it when you look into their eyes
And you hope for them that these crystal teardrops
Will somehow just pass by
And our skies may cry in crystal showers
And it seems we can't leave yesterdays behind
But you know our sun will shine down again
Yea, you know it's just a matter of time
Bring me the sunshine to dry up all the tears
Bring me the sunshine, it's been raining for years
And our skies may cry in crystal showers
And tomorrow may seem a hundred miles away
But this rain, it just can't stay.
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.

Of Hope (a fourteener)
Hope flourishes as flower which, when watered, nurtured, sprouts -
but first seed must take root in garden free from shady doubts.
mind's probing fingers, working, plucking weeds that stunt, consume;
strip hazards from environment so seed of Hope can bloom.
while some say Hope's perpetual and grows e'en without seed,
won't falter - feast or famine - and can withstand dirty deed.
I think more so Hope grows where effort made has clearly shown
that Faith was planted justly and then - Hope - the harvest grown.
Hope feeds upon a memory of expectations met,
where struggles as a seedling then grows larger, stronger yet.
And bow-tied with a ribbon, Hope becomes a gift still more -
for Hope as gift soon shape-shifts until Faith stands at the door.
yet caution wise to realize that Hope, when falsly gained
as dissapointment underlies; Faith/Hope fails - none retained.
let application/ action then help Hope become a tree,
the end result - a gift to self - instilled in me by me.

Rain Pouring Down
Rain pouring down incessantly
As thunder sounds in the distance
Announce the cool, washing of Earth
Soothe the soil and bring abundance.
Rain pouring down consistently
Reminds us of God's own Faithfulness
He brings forth growth continually
Harvest for man to feed and bless.

Poem: God Ordained Trials
Learn from Apostle Paul's and Job's life lessons,
for faith's gold will be tested and purified;
tribulations are faced by God's daughters and sons,
but only through Christ - can one be justified.
The troubles of the day will eventually find us;
but will you be prepared by the principles of Love?
Remember the divine words of the Lord Christ Jesus
and draw strength from His righteous Kingdom above.
The rain falls on both the Just and Unjust;
so you might as well expect to get wet;
develop an atmosphere of faith and in Him trust;
live your life transparently without regrets.
So open your spiritual eyes and plan ahead;
develop a Godly relationship that's versatile,
knowing your faith will be surely tested
with the experiences of… God ordained trials.

Loosely based on:

Teardrops
Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.
In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some
Lovers game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much
The same.
Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.
In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks
Upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought
On him.
Teardrops - Ive had my share of crying buckets
Full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
With those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
The rain.

Focus More On Motive
Please,
Why can't you give me time...
With allowing my mind,
To find a bit of comfort.
Please,
Why can't you leave me alone...
With a time I can find,
To enjoy that bit of comfort.
I need to...
Focus more on motive.
And,
I need to...
Release anxiety from me.
And I need to...
Let frustrations go,
With a hope you'll comprehend my need.

When The Rain Falls Down
when the rain falls down it awakes my dream
when the rain falls down it washes me clean
when the rain falls down it screams my scream
when the rain falls down it follows me
when the rain falls down it carrys me
when the rain falls down it unties me
when the rain falls down it talks to me
when the rain falls down im comin clean
when the rain falls down. down on me.

Not One To Encourage A Response, However...
People in hiding,
With beliefs their unspoken intentions...
'Should' be understood.
Are finding themselves,
Alone with their misguided perceptions.
And there is just too much evidence,
That immaturity accepted to nourish...
Flourishes the environment,
With the presence of too many latrent fools...
Doing the best they can to escape,
From the accountability of their actions.
And people blame the children,
For the boisterous disrespect and ignorance.
I am not one to encourage a response,
However...
Can the minds of today,
Address the depth of a shallowness expressed.
And accept this as a reflection of themselves...
As if to take pride in the reality of their social dysfunctions.
And pretend this existence is clear and free of normalcy.
I am not one to encourage a response,
However...
Hasn't it been time that those delusional find,
Truth in themselves...
As a gift and nothing one has to fear!

Sunshine Always Follows Rain
It washed the faint and anxious grasses,
Through all this splendid latitude ;
And trees, and flowers and ferns in masses
Sent up a hymn of gratitude.
They felt the cooling breezes blow ;
They felt no more the sultry pain ;
And well the pretty creatures know
That sunshine always follows rain.
The wide Dominion naught could move her,
Move her like the thunder wet ;
From Halifax to far Vancouver
The gladsome cry is sounding yet.
Somewhere now the showers are falling
On mountain side or grassy plain ;
And in the trees the birds are calling,
' Sunshine always follows rain.'
The welcome thunder led the waters,
Sparkling o'er the thirsty lands ;
Nature laughed, and all her daughters
Gladly clapped their fevered hands !
So we '11 see the white wheat flowing
From the thrashers once again ;
And we '11 trust the future, knowing
Sunshine always follows rain.
Girlie, with the face so pallid,
Why weep in summer days like this ?
Your face is sweeter than a ballad
And purer than an angel's kiss ;
Thy tears are falling, falling, falling
Who has filled your heart with pain?
Hear the joyful crickets calling,
' Sunshine always follows rain.'
Why so gloomy and downhearted?
Wake up ! man, and grieve no more !
She and you in anger parted,
And I know your heart is sore.
She, herself, I know is fretting ;
She will come to you again ;
All your griefs and fears forgetting
' Sunshine always follows rain.'
For to-day we sat and sorrowed,
And our hearts were all forlorn ;
But our griefs and fears were borrowed ;
Let us wait to-morrow morn.
Then the sun in glory splendid
Will his chariot mount again,
All our heartaches will be ended
' Sunshine always follows rain.'

Without love
I know it may sound insane
Now I dream of you without pain
Time has past
Extremely fast
Love has no boundaries
Love is fantastic
Love is a mystery
Love is romantic
Love is real
Love is intense
Love can heal
Love is romance
I know it may sound insane
I am feeling you once again
You left me feeling wanting
With your teasing and flaunting
Love is kind
Love is divine
Love unwinds
Love is sunshine
Love forgives
Love is nice
Love is positive
Love is sacrifice
Love is massive
Love is compromise
I know it may sound insane
You still remain and rain in my brain
With our experience in my collection
I can make the necessary corrections
You are a moment I wish
Once more to cherish
Love is great even when late
Love is sweet when complete
Love can forgive whatever it receives
Love is a blessing, always refreshing
Love is supreme but can be extreme
Love comes at a price If you are not wise
Love is unselfish, It only tends to nourish
Love always flourishes tending not to perish
Love from the heart never departs or breaks apart
I know it may sound insane
But I hope our paths meet again
I speak neither French nor Spanish
Yet memories of you are not tarnished
My senses have been trained
All is not lost in vain
Love is strong
Love is old and young
Love is the sound of a melodious song
Love is the gentle language of the tongue
I know it may sound insane
That about love I complain
Love never did me no wrong
Without love I am far from strong!
Love has no pride painting a humble ride
Love is life, in different forms it arrives
Love is an unspoken promise
Between two of unity and peace

Happy Holidays To All
The season for the joyful,
Brings with it a spirit of happiness lifted.
And those memories within us,
That seem never to cease...
As another year appears to draw to an end,
With promises to inspire...
An anticipation of gladness that begins.
The season for the joyful,
Brings together those far and near.
In a celebration all can share...
Felt as brisk winds fill the air,
With a freshness sought in the atmosphere.
And a witnessing of an acknowledgement...
There is an infectious feeling of cheer.
Happy holidays to all.
And to all those blessings received.
To indeed know those blessings to us come,
With an intent to keep desiring in our wishes...
That everyone this season before it leaves,
Discovers the connection between joy and faith.
And this comprehension is kept to please!
