The Greatest Commandment: Love

Love is like a rose, a beautiful bloom,

A gift from the Lord, a light in the gloom.

A flame that burns bright, a bond that endures,

A grace that transforms, a love that assures.

 

It brings us together, this love we impart,

A bond that is sacred, a bond that is heart.

It lifts up the weary, and comforts the sore,

It guides us to peace, and opens the door.

 

The Bible speaks of love’s sweet grace,

A commandment to follow, a journey in faith.

From the love that God showed on the cross,

To the love that we show, in lives that we’ve lost.

 

Love is a fruit of the Spirit, we’re told,

A gift from the Lord, to have and to hold.

It shines like the sun, and warms like the flame,

Bringing hope and peace, in Jesus’ name.

 

Therefore, let us embrace this love, every day,

With kindness and grace, in all that we say.

For it is a treasure, more precious than gold,

A gift from the Lord, to have and to hold

Comic Paradoxes of Life

In the grand theater of life's parade,

A paradoxical dance we all have played,

Where laughter and irony waltz hand in hand,

Let me regale you with a comic command.

 

Life's paradoxes, oh, they're quite absurd,

Like finding "lost" keys in your pocket undisturbed,

Or searching for glasses perched on your head,

These daily dilemmas, filling us with dread.

 

You chase happiness, like a mischievous cat,

Yet it hides in the nooks, where you don't look at,

While stress and worries, they cling with delight,

Like a never-ending battle, a comedic fight.

 

You're told to relax, let go of your fears,

But then life throws lemons, and they sting your ears,

As you squeeze them for lemonade, sweet and tart,

But forget the sugar, and the taste will depart.

 

Love, too, presents its own comic twist,

A paradoxical puzzle hard to resist,

When you find the one, your heart's desire,

They snore like a foghorn, setting the house on fire.

 

You seek fortune and fame, a glamorous quest,

But end up rich with credit card debt, lest

You fall for the lure of sales and bargains grand,

Buying things you don't need, just 'cause they're at hand.

 

Time, that elusive creature, marches on,

With seconds, minutes, hours, forever gone,

As you yearn for more, it slips through your grasp,

Leaving you pondering the present's fast gasp.

 

Thus, here we stand, in life's paradoxical rhyme,

Dancing through laughter, one step at a time,

Embracing the quirks, the twists and the turns,

For in comedy's dance, true wisdom we learn.

 

Therefore, let us laugh and revel in life's comedy,

Embrace the absurdity, with glee and jollity,

For in the paradoxes that life presents,

We find joy and humor, the truest of intents.

Overcoming Grief

Grief, oh grief, a weight upon my soul,

A heavy burden that I cannot control.

It grips me tight, with its icy hand,

And takes me to a place I cannot understand.

 

The pain is real, it cuts like a knife,

And takes away the sweetness of life.

I try to fight it, to push it away,

But grief has a way of making me stay.

 

It consumes my thoughts, my every breath,

And leaves me feeling lost and bereft.

The memories of what once was,

Are now replaced with an overwhelming loss.

 

Yet in the midst of this deep despair,

I find a glimmer of hope, a light so rare.

For in the darkness of grief and pain,

I find the strength to rise again.

 

I know that grief will always be,

A part of who I am, a part of me.

But with time and love, I know I'll find,

A way to heal and ease my mind.

 

Today I'll hold on tight, to what I know,

And let my grief and pain slowly go.

For in the end, it's love that remains,

A shining light that forever sustains

Solace in Pen and Paper

With pen in hand and paper near,

I let my thoughts and feelings clear.

For though the grief may linger on,

I know that hope will soon come along.

 

I see the beauty in the world around,

The sun that shines, the birds that sound,

The flowers that bloom, the trees that sway,

And all the wonders that brighten my day.

 

I think of those who've gone before,

And all the memories we've made and more.

For though they may have left this earth,

Their love and legacy will always have worth.

 

And so I choose to look ahead,

With hope and love that will not be dead.

For in the midst of grief and pain,

A new beginning can be gained.

 

With every step, with every breath,

I choose to live, to love, to give my best.

For in this life, with all its twists and turns,

It's in the journey that the beauty truly burns.

 

Today I'll take this pen and paper dear,

And write a new story without fear.

For though the grief may come and go,

I know that hope will always grow.

Confidence

Confidence is a spark that ignites 

A flame that burns within the soul 

It's the strength that helps us take flight 

And reach for goals that make us whole

 

With confidence, we stand up tall 

And face the challenges ahead 

We push through doubts, we conquer all 

And rise above the fear and dread

 

It's the belief that we are strong 

And capable of great things T

hat helps us when we feel like we don't belong 

Or when life throws us painful stings

 

Confidence is a beacon of light 

That guides us through the darkest days 

It helps us find the courage to fight 

And keeps us going in so many ways

 

Hold your head up high, my friend 

And trust in all that you can do 

For confidence is the key that can mend 

The broken dreams that once seemed so true.

Discipline

Discipline is the foundation, the core, 

Of every success, every triumph, every more. 

It's the strength that allows us to endure, 

And the courage to face challenges with allure.

 

It's the discipline to wake up early each day, 

To work hard, to study, to learn and to play. 

To keep our commitments, to never delay, 

And to always strive to do things the right way.

 

Discipline is the key to achieving our goals, 

To reaching new heights, to breaking new molds. 

It's the power to persevere when life takes its toll, 

To rise up again, to never give up control.

 

It's the discipline to stay focused and true, 

To prioritize what's important and follow it through. 

To make sacrifices, to see things anew, 

And to find inspiration in everything we do.

 

Let us embrace discipline with open hearts, 

And let its essence guide us as we chart 

The path to our dreams, the road to our art, 

With discipline as our anchor, our fire, our heart.

Compatibility in Marriage

In marriage, love may seem the starting point, 

But compatibility, the true key to the joint. 

For passion fades with time and age, 

But shared values, a sturdy base to engage.

 

It's more than just the spark of the eye, 

Or how easily one can let out a sigh. 

It's about understanding and respecting, 

And a bond that keeps growing and connecting.

 

Compatibility means a shared view of life, 

The joys, the sorrows, and the strife. 

It's finding common ground to stand, 

And a willingness to lend a helping hand.

 

It's respecting each other's dreams and goals, 

And supporting each other in their roles. 

It's not just about giving in or giving up, 

But finding ways to make things work and fill each other's cup.

 

For when compatibility exists in marriage, 

It's like a rose blooming in a beautiful carriage. 

It's a journey of growth and love that will last, 

And a bond that will never falter or become a thing of the past.
