Can You Be My Valentine

As time moves from day to year,
One thing is surely true, my dear;
Though years come and decades go,
Just seeing you sets my life aglow.

Time shifts my body; I start to slump,
When I pass a mirror, it can make me curb.
My joints all ache; I can hardly move;
Just a smile from you, sets me in the groove.

Getting older can be such a pain,
But with you along, I won’t complain.
Despite the things that we daily go through,
I know I’ll never stop (for a second) loving you.

Your loving heart turns my night to day,
As we laugh - making merry all the way.
So I write this poem, and I’ll hang my sign,
Saying, "Can You Be My Valentine"

Happy Birthday

Dawn is slowly breaking
Party’s almost ended – friends are on their way home
I’m still at the office trying to round up
I’m sorry for your birthday I couldn’t come

Your present is hanging by your window pane
As well as behind your picture hanging on your wall
I know not how to present my gift to you late
But just know tis the greatest gift of all

The fire that burns between us is fading
And the love we once shared is in despair
I stand out here to do my bid and best
To let precious memoirs fill our polluted air

Through your emotions I can clearly see
That one day the scales from your eye would fall
And knowing that you were once in love with me
Tis my greatest gift of all

And just before I say goodnight and go to sleep
I hear my mobile phone softly ring
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you my love”
Is the song it beautifully sings

And so I say a silent birthday wish
For you my love amid great and small
Long life and great prosperity all day long
Tis from me to you the greatest gift of all

YOU CAN TURN YOUR DREAMS TO REALITY

You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It's not difficult, it just takes some effort. Have you ever thought of the cost to arrange a funeral? And comparing it with the cost of staying alive – I mean successful? The truth of the matter is many think they are alive but are either dead-broke or dead as in DEAD. But the good news is that dreams can come though the light and those dreams can for you reality.

See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a Daily Action Plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have.

Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true.If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success.
Knowing your destination is all you need to get there.

THE MIRACLES OF LOVE

It opens closed doors of the heart
And tears the mask of hatred apart
It put smiles on ominous faces
Has no dogma, creed or races

From the east to the west
It is welcomed as the best
From the north to the south
Relieves any in doubt

It inspires the parson to discourse
The ungodly bows and becomes righteous
It is the song that artiste write
That turns wrong doers to right

It makes strangers to hold hands
And exchange ideas easy to understand
It is that that makes faith visible
Elevates passionately the low and simple

It is strength to the ignored
And to givers, it is their reward
It sees beyond ones imperfection
Without ridicule, without condemnation

Fosters compassion in the valley of hate
Beckons to all that off their fate
The forgiver of the prodigal
Makes paradise out of sepulchre

It cost zilch but creates much
Based on correction and as such
Its icon is seldom grasp through the eyes
Never ending and barely dies

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY.

Courage is the power to face your difficulties. It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful than any of your outside circumstances. It is said that you should never allow someone else’s opinion form your reality – because many people would define you before saying a word to them.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems, you gain the courage necessary to overcome everything – and when I mean everything I mean everything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above reality.

You are more important than any of your problems – because before your problem was you were. You did it back then and you can do it again. Let that stay with you through this winter season.

Special Friend Poems - "Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.

I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain, or the future with its untold stories. But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling. I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine; yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, or to judge; I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship, from your values, from me. I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you, But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: TIME. You can do things before they need to be done – you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage. Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

The truly successful person doesn't use others; other people use the successful person. If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success. No one achieves success without being of service. All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

(a story from a prophet) A woman, a few days after that He was passing through a crowd going to heal a little sick girl, and a woman touched His garment. She said in herself, "If I can touch Him, I'll be well. He's a holy Man, and I believe Him to be just what He says He is." She touched His garment, and--and she ran back and hid herself in the crowd.
Jesus said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
And EVERYBODY... She and all of them... NOBODY... "No, I never touched You."
And Peter, always, you know, with his boldness he stood out and said, "Lord, how could ANYBODY tell? EVERYBODY'S touching You and why saith Thou, 'Who touched Me?' Why stop the--the procession as we're going on, standing here saying, 'Who touched Me, who touched Me?' when everybody's just a loving around You and everything."
He said, "Yes, but I got weak. SOMEBODY touched Me with faith."

You Can See Your Future With A Vision.

Study your present situation thoroughly. Go over in your imagination the various courses of action possible to you. Visualize the consequences which can follow from each course. Pick out the course which gives you the most promise and go ahead.

Many successful people use this skill of mental visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Picture yourself in your mind’s eye as already having achieved your goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you've reached your goal. You can put your subconscious to work toward making your mental pictures come true. Go over your day in your imagination before you begin it. You can begin acting successfully at any moment.

See the things you want as already yours. Think of them as yours, as already in your possession. You can see your future with a vision and live your dreams.

IT’S OKAY TO CRY

I saw her after a long time
She never really changed from her prime
She bleached her hair to hide her intentions
Her pretty face had lost all its expressions

She needed to talk
So we took a long walk
I thought about my friend I’d left in a rush
She thought about her first crush

She then spoke about her love affair
I saw a tender heart bound with fear
She told me these over and over again
I saw friendship worthy of great gain

She spoke about her goals in life
I saw the etiquette of a virtuous wife
She told me of her quest for a friend
I gave her a promise that she could depend

She was missing her entire family
I was missing her badly
She thought her life was just a waste
I told her never to judge in haste

She told me about her worst state
I took her hands and gave her faith
I said few words to show I was indeed candid
“I was there, it’s okay to cry” – so she did
