When a Birthday Comes
A birthday comes just once a year-
A day God-given to rejoice;
A day, they greet, ones near and dear;
A day to celebrate its joys!
A birthday is a joyful day-
A day to remember in life;
A day to walk in heaven’s way;
A day to kiss and hug your wife!
A birthday means kindness of God-
An earthly span of one year gone;
A time to pray and thank the Lord,
For fondly adding one more morn!

Children
Pluck not the bud that’s just the babe!
Crush not the flower, that’s the child!
Abuse of children- that’s a crime!
Misuse not youth, anytime!
Allow children to grow and shine;
Give them freedom but not wine;
Permit children to learn and play;
Mislead them not, any day!
Give them food and best of care;
Give them shelter, treat them fare;
Give them all the love you can;
Children are God’s gifts to man!

Song on Divine Love
There cannot be a love,
More steadfast than Thine!
There cannot be a God,
More loving than mine!
Lord Jesus Christ who died
On the cross for us,
Redeemed sinners on earth,
Giving heaven's bliss!
O let me give thanks, praise
To Lord God Most high!
Let me ask pardon, grace,
Before I must die!
For, Jesus is my friend
Until the world's end;
He will judge all mankind,
My life, I'll amend!

Poetry is Universal
There’s poetry rich in every...
Flora and fauna
Crack and crevice
Frond and leaf
Insect and beast
Cloud and star
Sand and soil
Mount and vale
Storm and gale
Bloom and blossom
Bud and inflorescence
Fount and fall
Fen and wall
Mound and hillock
Mountain and peak
Dew-dropp and drop

God Expects Morality From Man
The Holy God wills everyone
To live a life on earth holy;
And not to give in to their lust,
But maintain body honourably.
Live life the way that pleases God
And not in immorality;
Control your body parts in ways
That sanctity prevails always.
Rejecting Almighty’s call means
Rejecting God’s authority!
Sex is a sacred device, Man,
For procreation, God- devised!
The Holy Spirit dwells in us!

The Human Mouth
The human mouth is great,
When sacred be the words,
That issue forth from heart,
To change a man’s sad fate!
But, none really know,
What uncouth words come out;
Unpredictable’s the mouth,
Of evil men/ women.
The scene determines words!
And words can do magic;
The face may lag behind,
The uttered words, sometimes.
Yet, words may do damage,
That ne’er can be undone;
Then, seal your lips and see,
Much harm can elude us!

What’s Holy Matrimony (Marriage) ?
A carriage divine,
With earthly wheels unequal,
Plying on mundane terrain of all kinds,
With varying speeds,
Pulled by horses of virtues,
Driven by mutual love, will-power and forgiveness.
It holds just spouses two,
Of opposite sex,
To start with;
And children join with time,
Adding more joy and woes,
With wavering harmony,
Set to go towards heaven,
But if callous,
Could turn hell-bound!

Christmas is Coming!
Christmas is coming once again!
Born will be the Babe once more;
Bringing joy to the world like rain;
This is the Truth and not folklore!
Oh, hurry and pray that the war ends;
Let peace on earth again prevail;
It's time for souls to make amends,
And see Santa Claus' trail!
Dear Robert, let's hope you do join us!
We miss you much and all your fuss;
Let's hope, you can make it somehow,
And enjoy Christmas-time and its great love!

If Things Don’t Come Your Way…
If things had not happened your way,
May be, they may, some other day;
May be, you don’t deserve today;
May be, God had not had His say!
May be, God just allowed this way;
May be, your sins hold them at bay;
May be, God waits to send His Fay;
May be, God had pronounced His ‘Nay’!
May be, the devils make their hay;
May be, there’s still a hopeful ray!
May be, your goodness will soon pay.

My Desire
I like to make this world
A better place to live;
I like to take God’s word
To people and love give.
I like to show all men
That triumphs truth alone;
I like to say, ‘Brethren,
Our living God isn’t stone! ’
I like to prove God’s love
Is more than what we need;
I like to fly the dove
Of peace, joy, good deed.
I like to bestow joy
On whomever I see;
I like to be a toy
In Hand of God afree.
