"Moments in Life"
My list of 9 most important lessons learned, some by advice, some the hard way, some by inspiration.
1. There are moments in life when you miss someone so
much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and
hug them and never let them go. So cherish them while they
are with you.
2. When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but
often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't
see the one, which has been opened for us. Man cannot close a door God wants opened. Man cannot open a door God wants closed.
3. Don't go for looks; they can deceive and rarely have substance.
Don't go for wealth; even that either fades or taken away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile. They are usually diamonds
still in the rough. Hard and rare to find but worth the search.
4. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go;
be what you want to be, because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do. Remember, we are
not guaranteed a tomorrow, so make the best of the day given.
5. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy. Are you honest enough to admit
you have none of the above?
6. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way. God does not give me more than I can handle.
7. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures
and heartaches. However, failures can be the greatest lessons
that lead to personal growth.
8. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around
you was smiling. So live your life so at the end, you're the one
who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
9. Don't count the years, count the memories.......Life is not
measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the
moments that take our breath away!

Thoughts on Christ's birth.
online today!THE CHRIST IN 'CHRIST'MAS
God’s Word Came Down
In Human Flesh form
As Virgin Mary’s Son
Named Baby Boy Jesus
He Grew and studied
The Word at temple
Water Baptism by John
God gave his Blessing
With the Holy Spirit
Desert 40 days/nights
Resisted the Devil’s temptation
He picked 12 Disciples
Eleven Saints – One Devil
Healed Spiritually and Physically
Gave God the Glory
Was betrayed by Judas
Suffered abused and tortured
Then made to walk
Carry cross to Calvary
Where he was nailed
Suffered for three hours
Said “It is Done”
Placed in a tomb
For 3 long days
Rose on third day
He ascended into Heaven
Loves and forgives us
If we accept Him
Our reward will be
Life with Him forever

A World In Ruins
When we look upon our planet it brings us to tears
Why did we let this happen, what went wrong.
Through history Man has meddled with natural evolution
Changing the way we live, bringing on change to our lives
Where it was not necessary, life was utopia until governments
Selected by the people wanted progress for their own greed and
Would take it upon themselves to create new products, ideas
And taxes to affect our living standards. Over the years life has
Become harder with ridiculous inventions replacing essential
Items we use in our life, the computer, internet, credit cards
to name a few. The country we once knew with beautiful
Sandstone buildings are now gone in our cities, replaced by
Skyscrapers reaching to the stars, our peaceful existence being
Threatened by immigration of hostile people wanting to kill
Innocent people, while the law is finding it hard to control.
These people taking our jobs, putting families on the streets.
Though life goes on in a hostile world, with prices soaring like
An eagle hell bent on making us all poor, only the big corporations
And rich can survive. We were all born equal but now there are only the
rich and the poor, the world God created is in ruins by the greedy
People who do not believe the saying. “Leave Well Enough Alone”.
Whether we can survive what has happened, rests entirely on our
ability to survive our situation, we just except our situation in defeat
Or correct the problem with a solution to fix it. It all rests on us
We become history or make history by a positive change.

About this poem:
The moral to this poem is never try to interfere with natural evolution.A Poem From The Heart
What is a poem that tells no story, has no soul or meaning
It is nothing but a group of words and sentences with no value
Everyone will read it and never understand what it is all about
It has no class, or anything redeeming about it, just a pointless article.
However all is not lost to the writer if he searches his heart
The answers will be revealed, when a poem is expressed from the heart
The true answers are given to the writer, the romantic love poem
This is what every reader is yearning for, something missing in life.
The World is a hostile place that we all experience, love is gone
Love will be embellished from reading this beautiful poem
A poem that will give great satisfaction by all that view it
Love of everyone that is what the poem is reflecting
from it’s author to you. This is true love poetry.

Imagine the world without the Candle Love
The Word came as a human from above
As a perfect beautiful baby boy
To give us Love to fill that empty void
His name is Immanuel – God with us
Known to one and all of us as Jesus
He commanded us to love one another
As we are all sisters and brothers
He showed nothing but love to everyone
For Christ was God’s perfect son
In His love He gave His life as a sacrifice
He died on the cross to pay the price
The baby who was turned away from the inn
Died for us so that we may be forgiven of our sins
The Candle Love came and left His Spirit in our heart
So that God and his children will never be apart

online today!Malala
In Swat valley in Northern Pakistan
Malala, a young female teenager
Stood against the might of the Taliban
And earned the respect of those who knew her
She opposed their girls' education ban
And spread the issue all over the world
This enraged the terrorist Taliban
Who were determined to silence this girl
They sent an assassin to murder her
And he shot a bullet right through her head
But she proved to be a tough survivor
And became even more vocal instead
For her courage and heroic action
She earned the award of a Nobel prize
This defiant female from Pakistan
Became an idol in everyone's eyes
Malala, a young female teenager
Stood against the might of the Taliban
And earned the respect of those who knew her
She opposed their girls' education ban
And spread the issue all over the world
This enraged the terrorist Taliban
Who were determined to silence this girl
They sent an assassin to murder her
And he shot a bullet right through her head
But she proved to be a tough survivor
And became even more vocal instead
For her courage and heroic action
She earned the award of a Nobel prize
This defiant female from Pakistan
Became an idol in everyone's eyes

About this poem:
This is a tribute to Malala, recent recipient of a Nobel Prize.
Fire it uP
Rip rending bending
Descending ascending
Uncomp n comprehending
Destructive forces amending n mending
Pour empty full cup to All sending
Unfriending befriending
No sight of a beginning or ending
Closed to open up n sing
Giving takin
Breaking making
Chaotic chaos pain stakin
From da roots shakin
Giratin vibratin deflatin elevatin
Flyin without wings!
The relevant relevance through to thoughts of thoughts n things of things
An unbroken circle like rings
An it rings
And it rings
Spoken words of pains n sufferings
Manifesting
Unmanifesting
It's always a blessed ting
A blessing
A blissing
A multidimensional string
On a guitar
From Pluto to Mars
Mars bars fat whips n cars
Supanovas n stars
Laa la laa la laaaaa
Spiraling
Circling
Potholes n hurdling
Curling twirling
Pull back n get hurled iN
Inhaling exhaling
Patiently prevailing
Like on a ship sailing
Rough n calm seas
Breathing positive influence
Comprehending magnificence
Understanding overstanding the science
The Love the violence
I AM
I AM that
Lyrically
Alchemical
Mystically magical
Spittin shots to ya heart lika fine art
Nursing I'm burstin lighting up ya chakras
Got ya Kundalini pacin n racin all up in ya structure
Call me a Divine doctor
Goin to work like surgery
Rewiring reconnecting up those memories
I been sent here to remove fear
And to make a way clear
To set those minds free like the air
All seeking n searching for materialistic things
Cash money gold rings n bling blings
Divine Love is what I bring
Spittin bars from Mars n all kinda stars as i sing
Deeper higher vibrating
The essence of ma presence intelligently interrogating
Pumped up never deflating
I won't jest I'm on a quest
To bring these elements into sequence
This energy potent n immense
Tearing down all barrier n fence
And now the blind see n yes they see sense
Descending ascending
Uncomp n comprehending
Destructive forces amending n mending
Pour empty full cup to All sending
Unfriending befriending
No sight of a beginning or ending
Closed to open up n sing
Giving takin
Breaking making
Chaotic chaos pain stakin
From da roots shakin
