Old Age

The hand shakes
The back aches
The heart quakes
Then life breaks.

Impossibilities

If you can stop the wind in its tireless march
If you can neutralize the sweet smile of the sun
If you can transform rain clouds into a desert
You may be able to stop me from loving you

Simply Amazing

Misarable as can be
Tied up from head to my knee
Restless like the deep blue sea
A slave dying to be free

That God would become like me
In order to rescue me
Is so amaazing to me
Thank God I'm forever free

Gravitational Defiance

Flying like an eagle
Every day of my life
Not like a chicken
Just to avoid strife

Defying gravity
Refusing to lose
Not by luck or chance
But because I Choose

I am bold and brave
Mounting in the sky
Ever Conquering
Until the day I die

Like an eagle
Fly eagle fly

That's Who You Are

An honorable human
A priceless person
An incredible individual
A fantastic friend
A confidential confidant
A quintessential queen
A delightful daughter
A splendid sister
A wonderful woman
A laudable lady
A magnificent mother
A compatible companion
A super spouse
You are my wife

A Prayer for Excellence

Lord grant me
The assurance of Abraham
The meekness of Moses
The strength of Samson
The resilience of Ruth
The devotion of David
The shrewdness of Solomon
The empowerment of Elijah
The effectiveness of Esther
The diligence of Daniel
The passion of Peter
The persistence of Paul
And the mind of the Messiah

In the Company of Eagles

Mountains for my mansion
The forest for my pantry
The clouds for my carpet
The sky for my curtains
The sun for my candle
The wind for my chariot
In the company of eagles

Flying above fear
Floating above failures
Winging above worries
Gliding above gravity
Living above limits
Soaring to success
Come fly with me

Virginity

Clad with garments of dignity
Perfumed with ethical sensitivity
Quintessential queen of quality
Regal consort of my ecstasy
Untarnished by lewdness and infidelity
Unmatched in integrity and chastity
Blandiloquent bride of my destiny
Untouched before matrimony
Fair virgin of undiluted beauty
To honour you is my joy and duty

Who Is God?

Who is God?
He is:

A poor man’s riches
A hungry man’s bread
A sad man’s joy
A sick man’s health
A crippled man’s legs
A deaf man’s ears
A blind man’s eyes
An ugly man’s beauty
A troubled man’s peace
A foolish man’s wisdom
A defeated man’s victory
An insane man’s sanity
A dead man’s life
A lost man’s salvation
