The Great Moms of the Days and the Years…Inspirations from my Uncle

The Great Moms Of The Days And The Years

The GREAT GREAT Moms back in the days and the years,
Were ageless, timeless, and pressed on daily with NO fear.
Yes the great Moms of yesterday’s years, knew of little, or NO defeat,
Hustling days and nights with family biz, taking no time out for a leisurely seat.

Their commands were never second guessed or argued,
For it was Mom’s powerful words, just like gospel and truth.
They blazed our days with fury and fire, in determinations desire,
Moms were giants in our day, and we never second guessed their ways.

They showed us through actions more than in words, the book of life,
For they knew it cover to cover, making sure that we understood it right.
In all that we stumbled in, and in all that would make us fall,
Moms knew how to pick us up, get us going, and get back in it standing very tall.

We would simply not go against the mothers creed,
For it would render to us seemingly endless punishing deeds.
It was a one time only second guessing affair,
And we lost miserably, with pain, and unforgotten despair.

The great Moms backed us up with all that they had to give,
To them there was NO child greater than us in her heart, that could ever live.
She would take for us the tallest stance and do us one better,
For we were to become her best, her pride and her joy forever.

I am thankful to God always….for this day as I shed some tears,
For the great great Moms back in the days and the years.
Your torch burns brightly within us as we look to discover,
We pass on your torch in our days of days, in endless love to others.

The Zone~Inspiration from my Uncle

thezone
Being in the zone is like no place a human has ever known,
the zone takes you to places outside of yourself where time stands still.
Artist, painters, writers, musicians, crafters, and anyone who has a gift,
we humans are all blessed by God, and given many blind gifts by him.

Many humans go to the grave without discovering their God-given gifts,
if we walk with God deep in our heart, in His time do we come to discover,
the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, placing the tools right at our feet.
Blessed are those that discover their gifts, their talents bestowed by him.

To boldly develop these gifts of artistry, is something that God truly want us to be.
In example, the accountant who spent years at his career, then went to an art fair,
he discovered a painter creating beautiful artwork on a canvas, and it spoke to him.
The accountant bought a painting from this man, it deeply conversed with him.

That weekend, the accountant found himself at an art store purchasing the tools,
needed to paint; set it all up, brushes, paint, canvas, painting books and an easel.
This accountant discovered a new hobby that would come to bring him many gifts.
He began painting with no fear, burning up weekends filling canvas after canvas,
having no clue if any of the pictures that he painted were any good at all.

One weekend in time, the accountant woke up in the morning with the vision,
in his minds-eye a brilliant beautiful painting masterpiece.
This man began to paint on his canvas for countless hours nonstop.
There was no time on this man’s watch; no regular thoughts in his mind,
no sounds of his familiar surroundings.

From early in the morning, until the wee hours at night, he awoke from his
timeless state of medicinal peace with God, who was behind him with every brush stroke,
enveloping a ZEN of peaceful feelings and emotions. He had truly become a painter,
as he marveled at his beautiful creation of art generated by him, and God as one,
in this newly found place called “The Zone.”

Everyone has gifts blessed by God, some discover many gifts. God has filled
us up with many gifts. It is those among the few, who are willing to get quiet,
with God, and walk the ground with him daily in humility. These are the people
who posses the highest probability of discovering their hidden gifts, and the tools
at their feet, in which to develop these hidden gifts.

“The Zone,” is self medicinal, a purity of enveloped pure energy, a blissful Odyssey
of self-healing emotions, the fifth dimension of pure thought, enveloped into
personal timeless heaven.

SIMPLE GESTURES ON THE RISE~Inspirations from my Uncle

SimpleGestures

My simple gestures are on the rise,
Take a look, you can see it in My eyes.
Yes the old word of direct contact is of the past,
But texting someone your feelings is untrue and crass.

The time is now to reach out and extend my smile,
Call up a true friend, have a meaningful visit and stay for a while.
Being mindful of what people say, with the expression on their face,
It’s something that I will seek out, it’s something that I will embrace.

Hiding inside of one’s self, not expressing the truth of what one is feeling,
Is personally self destructive, deceit-full, and even demeaning.
Exposing one’s self from the inside out is time consuming,
But eventually it gives us a sense of life’s true meaning.

No longer will I lock myself up down deep inside,
No more will I find an excuse to run and hide.
I have turned myself inside out in riding a new tide,
For my simple gestures are on the rise.

THE RED CARPET OF HOPE~Inspiration from my Uncle

TheRedCarpetHope copy

I walk the red carpet of hope,
I take it with me wherever I go.
It’s not that I don’t have the faith you see,
But hope is just the weakest in me.

I’ve had this carpet for a very long time,
For it helps me through the rough to tow the line.
It has taken me through peaks and valleys did you know,
For I find it is always in the valleys that I grow.

There are days filled with troubles and strife,
Impossible journeys throughout this life.
I have learned to take the best possible paths there can be,
And just a little help from my carpet of hope and me.

And though my carpet is old, faded, and wearing thin,
It has helped me grow in leaps and bounds, courage from within.
Now I walk with God, who’s courage and faith has filled me so,
But I will forever cherish the days, I walked the red carpet of hope.

GOD’S LOOKING GLASS

IMG_5281-0
God has a looking glass designed just for you and me,
He works miracles every day in your life, look closer and you’ll see.
Those who rushed through the day, the thinkers and the doers don’t have a clue,
The many small miracles that He has laid out through the day, just for you.

There are those who think they are invincible, strong and bold,
They can prevail, they can conquer, but truly lost is their soul.
For they can skip through the day, draw strength from their ego to pave their way,
And not have a clue how they actually feel, yesterday or today.

There is a different way in life, a delightful, glorious, well illuminated path,
It requires getting simple, feeling humble, living each day as it would be your last.
Some do not want to surrender their power over people, places, and things,
For that is their driving force, this false sense of control that it brings.

If you are ready to surrender, and join in the beauty that today has to offer,
You are more than halfway there to beauty, peace, lots more found in Him here after.
Believe in yourself, find internal faith, hope big, dream bigger, and trust in Him alas,
Join me for a walk in His glorious, well illuminated path, welcome to God’s Looking Glass.
