There once was an old man who lived a long life
I asked what his secret could be he answered polite
He said this answer might not sound so great
But pray you live a long life so you can out live the snakes
Snakes will bite you and train little snakes to do the same
And if you want to overcome the pain
Don't think about revenge or hate
But you've got to out live the snakes
Snakes judge you from your birth
They frown on how much they think you're worth
And smile when you gain a little weight
So be wise and exercise so you can out live the snakes

I believe in HIM!
I believe in HIM,
Not because he saved my life so many times,
Not because he fixed my hand from an accident,
Not because he is the Son of Man,
Not because he died for my sins,
Because He is the CHRIST,
Because He came for the weak,poor and Gentiles like me,
Because He sits on the right side of GOD,
And because He choose me to follow him till my very last breath...
He is Jesus
And I believe in miracles,
From Him ,when you call from your soulSpirit,
He shows compassion and always says,
"FAITH can move mountains,
Have faith beyond doubts,
And the rest my friends,
Mark my words for I am his living example..,
Will perform his Miracles,
When you ask HIM with FAITH
And watch the wonders unfold before your own eyes..
GOD bless everyone,
Has never let me down,
Just call HIM 24/7 ,
Remember with your SoulSpirit,
Because that is the highway to his Mobile...
Every minute,every hour,every day,
24 hours,12 months,365 days,
Until your lifetime ...
Are you listening...?

What's it that we really are looking for?
Is it love eternal and pure
Or seeking a perfect creature?
Custom-made, custom-built
To our profile's specifications?
What's it that we crave, hunger for
If we were hungry for food
And were asked kindly to choose
Will we head down to McDonalds
Or home-cook meal we shall favour?
What's it in life that we cherish more?
Is it the trimmings, the novelty we adore
Or the bare basics that are constant, sure
Things that remain the same and matter more
Based from values, character and hearts pure
What's it that we're longing for?
Is it the need to touch or be touched?
A longing to be acknowledged, be admired?
To never feel unwanted, neglected not even a tad
Don't we all ache to feel cherished, honoured, loved!
What's it that is wrong with us..?
We've always known perfect is none but God
Yet a few mistakes partners make, door slammed on face
Done away second chances, our promises, vows we gave
Or are we now like technology, obsolete bi-annually!

About this poem:
just a thought...very happy with my life but I was talking to someone yesterday about a mutual friend who seems to never settle with a person...and though we both feel sorry for her I couldn't help but wonder if it is the guys or if it is her...looks like we no longer put much value in our relationships...much to easy for some to give the flick even for very trivial reasons...sometimes I feel we value material things more than a person, more than life itself...

With a broken heart I say to you
You will remain with me in spirit in whatever I do
I wish that I had the chance to say goodbye
But I hope that your soul is floating in the heavenly sky
To protect and guide me
To open my eyes and let me see
That life is too short
Holding grudges and bad feelings we should abort
We must extend our hand to those we love
Knowing that saying sorry is tough
But it will open hearts for forgiveness
And clear from our lives sadness
I hope that you will hear me calling your name
Saying that without you, life will never be the same
We didn’t often connect but I always loved you
Regardless of what you had to do
Please, forgive me if I ever hurt your feeling
While with trivial issues we were dealing

Gidday mate It's been awhile
Since I've seen your crooked smile
Your ginger locks and goatee
Always seem to amaze me
You'd seem to be a quiet as you can
Questioning everything was your plan
But deep inside was a roar
It just had trouble finding the door
Your heart was bigger than the sun
In your life it was just fun
Cruising around in your FJ
Your old mans pride you'd say
Your family as solid as a rock
Obviously from good stock
Music the key to your world
Guitar notes you would unfurl
Dibbling and dabbling we would explore
The world of drugs how could you ignore
So when things went a little astray
I guided you through it with little say
Steered you through my darkest hour
While making sure you didn't go sour
But after that things did change
A distance emerged from your range
Angst developed from your family
Directed towards all of me
I think it was because you liked a drink
And I was the influence that made them think
How could there boy come undone
We have to blame someone
Little did they understand
You were enjoying your life as your plan
And even though you invited me in
I steered clear of the evil drink
This was never because of you
Just of my weakness that I knew..........

Let yourself relax into this moment. Let yourself be held without anyone needing to hold you up. Let yourself meet the unknown.
It's ok, It is a place we don't have to know with our mind. What if there was angels all around you? Can you just see them? What if there was a love so vast that you could never be a part of?
would it be possible to go anywhere knowing that this love couldn't find you. You are entering from a far within your heart and it embraces you.
I trust that you will be welcomed by a presence that knows you and needs you. Seeing is believing in oneself the matter of the heart, looking past the hurt and the pain. You are perilous a gift of compassion that gives true self desires.
Compassion is something given out of repeat to oneself. True to the heart that dwells within your soul and not your ego. Identify with our soul now look beyond the realm where we have meet the souls in our past spinning around in spirit.
Color and music lyrics heard from a sound of choice of any matter slurs of echo's in the background blowing on the winds of change floating towards me in a frenzy.
Feelings overcome me like pulling me into a blinding sight of light that has entered my body seeing it from the source of the beginning.
Tranquility trickles down slowly and I reach to touch your heart to guide you

About this poem:
I wrote this a long time ago because I need to forgive myself of letting someone control me and to psychically and mentally abuse me. It has caused me many issues to this day as my anxiety, depression and Post Trauma issues come and go. I still manage the best to my knowledge and take each day a new one and not worry about what was and see what is now.

I am sitting in a restaurant sharing brekkie with a bunch
It's a beautiful Sunday morning
Not really that far from lunch
I am overlooking the ocean and the beauty of the beach
But overwhelmed with guilt as I consider the people out of reach
As I fill my gluttonous face
With food I don't really enjoy
The guilt hits me harder for I know it's not a ploy
I ponder on the less fortunate
And how they would perceive
The man and his castle
And his life of make believe
How could I make a difference if any at all
If I live in a cocoon
Surrounded by a wall .......

dreams without borders
souls are made in flame
kiss me under water
now I just miss the way you said my name
souls without borders
dreams are made of water
hold me in the fire
and let me say your name
