SOMEBODY ANSWERS

Many times in people's lives
Disarrays and confusions arise
Weakness of human body, dispositions fail
It's but sound and normal
People freak out while still alive.

The fright comes along
Makes one disproportionate, unsure
Apprehension keeps still
then stays so very long
Much a dread ...
Much a puzzle ....
A big blow it hits: like fire in a blanket of snow.

Does somebody answer?
Does someone hear?
The heartache, the foil ...
The disgust, the disgruntle ...
The problem, the predicament,
the perplexity of life ...
so unbearable to hold.

Will somebody answer?
Will someone care?
Will somebody come to rescue the one ...
The man who is afflicted,
the man who has the throe ...
The man whose life is all but vain.

Somebody answers ... there is always ONE
When there is FAITH, or when there is none
The Heavenly Father, He sees and hears
Your groan, your moan and all your pain.

Somebody answers ...
please trust and pray
Seek hard and try to find
the right way on your time
The choice you make will surely get by
Algorithm of life's complexities
will be answered for real.

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS

"The Sea At Dawn"

The first appearance of daylight in the morning takes place at dawn. What a wonderful way to begin a new day! The bright light shining over the horizon while the dark clouds start to leave and go away show a very significant meaning.

There is light after dark. This, to me is hope. A wise saying which I like to reiterate is, " Behind the clouds, the sun is still shining!"

I wonder how people would react to this very inspiring message! But, people are different and they have incongruous belief system.

My dear friends and loved ones: Listen to the beat of your heart. Listen to the message of your head. Listen to the toil of your hand.

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!

HE LISTENS TO YOUR CRY.

HE LISTENS TO YOUR WAIL.

HE LISTENS TO YOUR BEREAVEMENT.

GO AND PRAY.

KNOW HIM.

LOVE HIM.

SERVE HIM. It is through SERVICE where you can find fulfillment and total happiness.

Try it, my friend!! God bless you!

On April 18, 2008 (Friday),

I went to my mailbox and checked the mails
Got an envelope from the ETS ( Educational Testing Service )
I knew the results will soon come in
Took PRAXIS TEST on March 15

Fearfully, I unsealed the envelope
My heart beating like thunderstorm
The score received was one six seven
"Oh, God ! Thank you !" I exclaimed.

Driving back to my parking lot
Consistently, I was thanking GOD
Felt the Holy Spirit, I cried out loud
GOD, YOU'RE AWESOME.
Had always been in my life.

GOD IS AWESOME!
I have always felt
In my life, HE is my GUIDE

GOD IS AWESOME!
FAITH is far beyond
All my life, HE is around.

GOD IS AWESOME

I AM A WINNER

I am a winner
Anyone can be
Motivation a factor
Aspiration, perspiration, too.

Wholehearted dedication
Inspiring, ingenious position
Not "nuts" but "guts"
Nature, nurture full of venture
Seeking for knowledge endlessly
Open-wide, being relentless
Seeking for the best
In our world's treasured chest.

I am a winner
Anyone can be
Desire, design, develop
Potentials deep within you.

THANK YOU, OH LORD

Thank you, Oh Lord for the air I breathe
Thank you for the wind that gush my cheek
Thank you for the sun that gives me warmth
Thank you, Oh Lord
Thank you for all of these.

Thank you for the trees so green and tall
Thank you for the flowers so sweet and small
Thank you for the birds that chirp a tune
Thank you for the joys they bring to all.

Heavenly Father, as I gaze to the sky
That is so pure, so white, so fair
It shows your goodness, your love that's full
I know you're just beside me
With your love and tender care.

JAZZ ME AND YOU

Play jazz ...and ears listen
Sing jazz ... and eyes glisten
Dance jazz ... and bodies shaken
to the beat, to the rhythm
of the insouciant jazzy men.

Play jazz for me delightful beau
And jazz me up from head to toe
Stay a jazzer all day through
Jazz me up, so play the blues.

Jazz when played people just swarm
There's frenzy madness felt all around
Just like the lovers who're bound to tie
A love affair with a union high.

Jazz me and you, my love who's true
Jazz me and you, let's play a duo
Jazz me and you, a very fine tune
Create, compose, make it soon.

Beautiful Music.. listening to Pandora Radio and my thoughts ...

Sunday, March 30, 2008: As I am writing this prose my Pandora Radio is on. I am listening to Country Western Music. Writing prose and poetry is similar to composing a song. They are very similar in a way that both writers express their thoughts, opinions, principles and ideas about life and lives surrounding them. Country music is a tradition in America especially the USA. It can be traced back in the 1900's when the early Americans were building this country. The country western music is said to have originated from the fiddle tunes in Southern Appalachians which at that time they called the "old times music". The songs reflected their daily lives from working in the fields, in the mines, in the ranches and steel factories. It was during their days off that they got together playing instruments, ( guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, mountain dulcimer ) singing, dancing, and drinking at the same time. Their songs expressed their love and joy, pains and hardships especially during the Depression years. Of course, they were expressing their dreams and hopes, too. The love, the courage, the trust and faith for one another and the camaraderie among themselves kept them going which resulted to the creation of this music. Country Western Music is a tradition and every American in this great country have all but praise to this music genre.

I, myself love it! Music is an integral part of my life. For me, music is a discipline. It creates a lot of good and great things. It gives me joy, inspiration, courage, love and peace. As I listen to the lyrics, it tells me about the truth and reality surrounding us. It makes me come into a realization, into an acknowledgment and appreciation of all the beauty within me and the people around me. I always say, " Magnify the beautiful and the good, dwarf the ugly and the bad."

That is a poetic phrase I offer everyone to think about. The loveliness of this saying is as good as it gets. Ponder, create and live the way you want to live!!

A Smile that Warms

Toss a smile and it warms
even the loneliest soul
Toss a smile and it delights
even the coldest heart
Toss a smile and it sparks
even the lousiest beat
Toss a smile, it surely restores
a dissipating feat.

What is the smile that perks me up?
it is a smile, earnest it is
A smile that's given free
truly extolled deep from a tree
A tree of smile filled up with love
and warms me up all through the night
Indeed, the smile that truly warms
is a smile that swarm around.

Why don't you smile, go find a joy
A smile can bring to anyone
Smile, smile pass it around
What a nice feeling it goes deep down
So, toss a smile whenever you can
Toss a smile to a twisted guy
Toss a smile to a passerby
Toss a great smile to everyone.
