Resilience

Resilience is the strength to endure, 

To persevere when life's storms obscure, 

And in the Bible, we find the cure, 

The hope and faith that makes us sure.

 

Moses, with his people, faced the sea, 

With Pharaoh's army fast in pursuit, 

But through God's power, they were set free, 

And safely passed to the other side of dispute.

 

Job, who lost all his wealth and kin, 

Still praised God, and did not give in, 

For he knew that his Redeemer lived, 

And in His love, he could still thrive.

 

David, a man after God's own heart, 

Faced many battles, both fierce and smart, 

But he trusted in the Lord's might, 

And overcame his enemies with light.

 

Paul, who suffered for the gospel's sake, 

Was beaten, jailed, and left to quake, 

But he rejoiced in his affliction, 

Knowing that it served a higher mission.

 

Resilience is not just about being tough, 

It's about faith, hope, and love that's enough, 

To trust in God, who's faithful and true, 

And to cling to His promises anew.

 

For He's the rock that we can lean on, 

The strength that helps us to carry on, 

And with Him, we can face any trial, 

With resilience that never goes viral.

People Issues

People issues, oh people issues, 

They come in all shapes and all sizes. 

Some are big and some are small, 

But they all can make us feel so small.

 

The way we talk, the things we say,

Can hurt someone in such a way, 

That scars may last for years to come, 

And we may never know what we've done.

 

We fight and argue, point and blame, 

And sometimes we forget why we came. 

Together, as one, we can achieve so much, 

But it takes understanding and a gentle touch.

 

We all have struggles, we all have pain, 

But it's important to remember to refrain, 

From judging or hurting those we meet, 

For we never know what they may be facing on the street.

 

So let's be kind, let's be fair, 

Let's show compassion and that we care. 

People issues, oh people issues, 

Can be resolved when we share tissues.

 

Let's work together, let's unite, 

And make this world a better sight. 

For people issues may come and go, 

But with love and kindness, we can grow.

Contemporary Art: A Poem

Contemporary poetry, a wonder to behold, 

A reflection of the world, both new and old, 

It speaks of love, of pain, of life's many twists, 

And leaves us with thoughts that cannot be dismissed.

 

In words and phrases, it paints a picture, 

Of a world that's complex, full of wonder and censure, 

It's raw and real, and it makes us feel, 

All the emotions that we thought were unreal.

 

Contemporary poetry, a voice of the times, 

It speaks of injustice, of social divides, 

It challenges norms and seeks to redefine, 

The boundaries of what we consider fine.

 

It's not just words, but a work of art, 

It's a window to the soul, a reflection of the heart, 

It's a tapestry of life, woven with care, 

A reminder that we all have stories to share.

 

So let us embrace this art form anew, 

Let us explore the worlds that it brings into view, 

Let us listen to the voices that echo within, 

And find in them a new way to begin.

Wisdom

Wisdom is a treasure to be sought, 

A gift from God that cannot be bought, 

And in the Bible, we are taught, 

That it is more precious than we thought.

 

For wisdom is the fear of the Lord, 

And in His ways, we find reward, 

And when we seek it with all our heart, 

God's wisdom to us, He imparts.

 

Like a tree planted by the river's edge, 

Wisdom is a source of life, a hedge, 

Against the storms of doubt and fear, 

It gives us clarity, makes things clear.

 

And in the Proverbs, we find advice, 

To seek wisdom, to make it our prize, 

For in it, we find understanding, 

And the ability to make wise planning.

 

So let us seek wisdom from above, 

For it is a gift of God's great love, 

And as we live our lives each day, 

May His wisdom guide us in every way.

 

For with wisdom comes a life well lived,

 And a heart that is joyful and revived, 

So let us seek God's wisdom with care, 

For in it, we find the way to fare.

Where is Your Hope?

Hope is the anchor of the soul, 

A steadfast refuge in life's toll, 

And in the Bible, we find the goal, 

Of a hope that fills us whole.

 

For God's promises are true, 

And in them, we find hope anew, 

In times of trouble and despair, 

God's word lifts us from the snare.

 

Like the rainbow after the flood, 

Or the manna given in the wilderness wood, 

God's provision and love endure, 

And in them, we find hope secure.

 

And in the ultimate sacrifice, 

Of Jesus on the cross, we realize, 

That our hope is not in vain, 

For in His resurrection, we gain,

 

A hope that death cannot destroy, 

A hope that fills our hearts with joy, 

For in Christ, we have eternal life, 

And in Him, we find hope that's rife.

 

So let us hold fast to the hope we profess, 

For in it, we find God's faithfulness, 

And as we journey through life's scope, 

May our hope in Christ forever be our hope.

Power of Imagination

 You have the power within you

The greatest gift that man was given

The gift of free will, freedom to choose

The ability to make choices at will

Never limit your imagination

You're are a perfect creation

Built for exceptional innovation

And continuous elevation

Guard your thought possessively

Always filter your concepts actively

And challenge all dogmas continually

Make your decisions independently

Live life on your own terms

Desist from mass driven programs

For the the sake of worldly acclaims

Lest you fall for other people scams

Liberate your mind and soul

Declatter from the worlds foul 

Just as Paul was freed from Saul

Liberate your mind and soul.

Simple Complexity

Simple complexity, a paradox of sorts A puzzle with few pieces, yet many thoughts A web of ideas, intertwined and entwined A pattern with meaning, difficult to define

It's a whisper that echoes, a riddle to solve A puzzle that's simple, yet it can evolve A moment of silence, a pause to reflect A chance to discover what we might expect

It's the beauty in chaos, a mystery untold A journey of discovery, a story to unfold A puzzle with no answer, yet it draws us in A game to be played, with no chance to win

Simple complexity, it's all around us In nature, in life, in the things that we trust It's a paradox of beauty, a puzzle to see A simple complexity, waiting for you and me
