'HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY'


'UNITY'

I'm learning to understand unity
And I'm learning to suspend judgment and criticism
And I'm learning to have compassion
Not alienate people, when I am different to them
And I'm learning to tolerate more
And I'm learning not to jump to conclusions
And I'm learning (though it sometimes really hurts me)
Not to close my heart
And I'm learning to have faith
When I become disillusioned
And I'm learning that it's much
Much easier to be calm and patient
Even under pressure.

  'And the angel said unto them,
- I am not here to condemn


  Fear not:  for, behold,
- an awesome thing that must be told

  I bring you good tidings of great joy,
- a child of God is born, a boy
 
  Which shall be to all people.'
- so utterly adorable!

'Mary Had A Liitle Lamb' - Poems

 1.
Mary had a little lamb
she ended the grub fest 
thus ending a dream

Then Mary got kissed 
by her little lamb 
her cheeks glistening 
like fresh milked cream. 

2.
Mary had a Little Lamb
It's fleece was white as snow. 
And everywhere that Mary went, 
the lamb was sure to go. 
It followed Mary to the street one day. 
Which was against the rules. 
It made the kids laugh and sing 
to see the lamb on the street.

Title: 'INNER CHILD'

'INNER CHILD'

Stay closely in touch
With your sweet inner child
Such a winner is she
Yet often misfiled

Take more time out
To play together
Be it rain, sun, snow
Or any kind of weather

You'll see for certain
In her trusting eyes
The wonders of this
Awesome world materialize

Seldom afraid
She can take you exploring
Adventures and places
That never seem boring.

As you wait meanwhile
For your ideas to take foot
She will illuminate your path
And decorate your route.

Her fun and affection
Never dampened or strained
Her sense of connection
Simply can't be contained

Ah! Let go of any fear today
Invite dear inner child in, to play
Be amazed by the fun, joy and
Laughter you'll  both spray.

Sometimes its funny
People on the subway go
One stop too many

Title: 'SHE PRAYS FOR SOULS'

Title: 'SHE PRAYS' 9 /F.Oil - (From Set) by Rev.Bola A
'She Prays For Our Souls'


Besieging,
Ever leading
On bended knee
She prays
Her hands clasped together
Interceding, and
Proceeding without delays
She confirms her pleading
Reaching up
To the Divine
For the healing
Of so many aches
So many pains,
That charge onward
Like wagons
Without brakes
Hence they collide
Upon the precipice
Of our mistakes.
But despite
The frequent breaches
Of such errors, such sins,
Numerous acts of omission
Or commission
Each day her
Prayer-wheel still spins
She chants her invocation
Then renders her petition
To The Most High God.
And throughout
All this endeavour
Can be felt,
Her faith and fervour
And through all
Such supplication
Can be sensed
Her deep devotion
To The Lord....
Rising high
Like a blaze of
Burning incense
To the sky.
Then, just as though
To testify,
Luxuriously returns to earth
Much sweet angelic response
And the surest
Most purest
Heavenly reply.
