We need to be more than just surface people
The breaking of bread- the responsibility of being a friend
When we befriend others we should take this as a large step, a great responsibility in life, I find that we have come to a place in life in today’s society, that are not caring or they don’t know how to give their word and hold ourselves to that word. Knowing this, I have observed that in our society today this is so common place that there is neglect to love or even more to forge true friendship or better yet have good loving relationships. The act of covenant is one that holds great meaning back in our past; today it has lost its value, it may no longer be trusted when someone gives his word anymore! Yes the world has changed and our young people want to seek the truth but are unable to find it. We have told so many lies that we don’t know what to believe, is there a Santa? No, the Easter another lie, and the list goes on and all that these things are! Is a way to steal good people’s finances and leave them broke and children disappointed!
Where there was truth and respect there is none, where we could listen to the words of another man and see his true intention, we are reverted to not believe a word that another man says; we now have come to accepting the words “seeing is believing”! I frequently ask myself; “what would it take for us to have some integrity in our words again”? And I am left stumped beyond belief; I have no Idea how to turn back the hands of time! I sit just like most of us who have seen the times when my credit was based on the words I gave, it is far from those days and you would have to give the souls of your children as collateral. This child has to be a virgin no doubt.
So now that we have spoken about the dreaded direction in which this world is going we have a choice, to open good wholesome friendships and raise within and throughout valuable relationships that will last. Here is a poem that expresses something that will help to give some insight into people.
Deep Convictions
This always happens when I am by myself,
I think of all the people God has had me help.
My heart was always pounding, afraid to stand and fight,
Then I seemed to have settled, and then I knew that I would be alright.
The words I thought were already sitting on my lips,
But when I tried to loose them, the Holy Ghost caught grip.
I took off like if a mad man, for sin! I do not like,
The sinner!
I would not reject him I pray for him at night.
My heart is filled with Jesus I am convicted still,
I pray all day for opportunities, Just to do God’s will.
I see other saints around me; their life may not be as keen,
Paul says “don’t use my lips too loosely, but pray that they; will knowledge gain!
It is an individual’s deep commitment that will help men sustain from sin,
But it is their deep conviction that makes the change within.

Just a lazy Day
The truth is i am thinking of some people that do, men and women who will insist to give of themselves everyday no matter ho w hard it can get for them. It seems as if they were angels who God placed to keep us thinking about ourselves, that each one of us can be better day by day. I wrote this poem as an expression of that which I saw in a lady that I know.
You have wings why don’t you fly?
I have watched you push yourself day and night,
To feed your children a Godly meal;
I have watched the glow of Jesus in your eyes,
And the Joy when you sing in the choir!
You ware your heart on the outside of your chest and everyone knows it,
Your life is an open book, dedicated to God on the highest;
I have seen your deepest love for others, streaming straight from above!
So why, Why not fly to the sky? I have seen your wings.
Don’t deny!
You pray to God at least three times a day,
God is your husband, and late at night;
He comes and tucks you in, and watches over you till the break of day!
An Angel I know.
You are not as complicated as some may think,
With a pure heart like that, I know the God’s spirit fills you to the brink;
I really an answer now! My dear is there good reason why?
You have wings so why don’t you just fly?

Time in a bottle
Time in a bottle:
This is about me, and sometimes how you can hold back the very thing that could have saved your life; that could help your efforts. Well I can learn from my own actions, ones that have brought me grief before and ones that make no sense at all, now thinking of it. It is true that feeling should be expressed but when? and how so that you get the desired effect.
Now I call this piece "Time in a bottle" because it almost seem as if I have not moved from where I was years ago when I first fell in love; the man I was then was one who cared about everyone and everything. Well why can't you? I have love inside enough for the world to smile at least once all at the same time (that is a lot of love but it burns out in such a short while ) so why even try to do it? why even try to care? someone will find something wrong with it and cry foul. The sad thing it may be someone you really care for, in the end you are left standing looking foolish and heart broken; stomach tied up in knots just waiting to die from an ulcer.
So why don't you just move on? why are you the one person who fights and begs for the door to be left open? why do you think you care more than everyone? why do you hold other people much more dearly than yourself? and why Guy are you thinking the best of other people even when they think the worst of you? . . . . You must be a sadist! one who enjoys to been burned; well I am not all of the above. I just believe that there is good within people even if I am looked at as if I am not I will always keep love in my heart and I have no enemies they are loved. And if that causes me to fall then so be it but I maintain integrity and I have a soul that knows where I am going and my lips will speak truth always.
Ps: mankind you are loved even you if you may not love me.
A poem I wrote for someone special there is a key in there, and it unlocks the most valued gift I own. :-)
Time between you and me
It is more than time that brews when I don’t hear from you.
It’s the earth that shakes, and my little world that breaks.
I turn to write and there you are,
I am at the receiving end of a hole in my heart so I dare not pretend.
I never really knew that this was all because of you,
But it could mot be, this is insanity!
Truth is I really have not lived,
Just been on this last part of life’s decay!
A promise from God to me for a life filled, and totally free;
Then you came along, you seemed to be singing the last words to my song.
Just at the time when I was just giving up,
Your life filled my cup!
I found purpose to breath, the perfect peace and ease;
The distance is a test of our souls!
Two themes entangled collaborating to make a phrase,
Two stories telling a great tale and the product a great book.
I have seen many seeds planted and the tree produce no fruit,
But if visions were given to men then one was given to me!
I saw us two inspired to fly and this world be free,
A note to all that follow, the crumbs are there to lead you back home to the sea.
A place that you and I found at different times that was soothing,
And calming and brought peace to you and also to me.
The thing that separates us and can be so frustrating,
Is the distance and a small bit of time between you and me.

Words of wisdom (Structure, foundation, Godly advise)
The Act of love (selflessness)
Free Will
Free will is given to all not for the purpose of violating another’s; but for the purpose of respecting the free will of others; To respect the rights of others and not to derail each other from our individual purpose in life... it is my understanding that some would rather put themselves before everyone else and above the rights of other and feed their selfish desires. We need to be strong to say no to those who would violate and discount that which we should all have the right to. God is the only one who has the only right to take this from us because He gave it to us all equally (free will) and free will is only given as a means for us to work within and with the respect for others. The truth is that we should use it always with a loving heart, unselfish and kind

Compassion
Compassion! Whenever I employ it,My heart leaps for joy.I am human, with faults!That I know.
Humbly I express, I care!Humbly I express, that I am blessed.
Please take my hand, let me truly help! How else can I show compassion?
I know my faults, and I won’t call out yours.Please take my hand! No agenda attached,And I hope you can forgive me, for all the things I lack.
