You Texted Me

Last night around nine

I was sure not feeling fine

till you texted me.

You texted me - and -

your thoughts met mine, like sunshine!

...the night fell away.

So thank you -

I am fine.

I appreciate you!

Blades of Knowledge

The sharpest of swords

exists to defend against War

the life of nations.

But the brigthest blades

exist to teach our young ones

the value of youth.

"Who you teach,

you preserve."

Those who love God loves instruction.

Attitude of Gratitude

If you are thankful
though winter may be waxing
and the chill winds blow...

You will find, my friend,
a myriad diffrent off'rings
to keep you aglow.

Warm hearts are
grateful souls.

Morning

O glorious sunrise!

Fill my heart, O breaking dawn -

chase the night away.

A salutation

to the dawning of the Day -

hope is here to stay.

Morning comes,

Praise the LORD!

Smile

Smiling is giving

and it goes from heart to heart -

if you love, then smile.

God loves cheerful hearts,

hearts made glad by His giving,

if you're thankful, smile.

Let you star

shine, starshine.

Sakura

The color pink signifies tenderness and fragility.

Beauty is fleeting

T'is like a stranger calling:
Do you remember?

Beauty in glimpses,

flowering for a moment:

Do you remember?

When it comes...

embrace it.

Cherry blossoms signify the fleeting nature of beautiful things

and so it also signifies strength of remembrance.

Friendships undergo a lot of comings and goings - in this life -

and so if we are not mindful of it,

how worthy are we of its reward?
