Pure Thoughts

Roses are red,

violets are blue,

Broken toes hurt

When stuck in a shoe.

I never had the so called ‘friends’ back then,
Maybe its because I was never talented and looked like a timid hen.
Whenever our teacher asks for someone to recite,
I was always nervous and tremulous with fright,
Though she was trying to be polite.
Some children of my age didn’t noticed me,
I was never likable nor attractive, you see.

I could still remember that someone would just approach me suddenly,
Then back off and leave me alone whenever he pleases to be.
That’s what bothers me now,
That I never got to have ‘friends’ and mingle with them somehow.
I pity myself for not being approachable,
For I am suffering the consequences, and regret them all.
But I just can never bring back the time,
And just blame myself for commiting such ‘crime’.
That’s why how I wish it’s not yet too late,
For me to change, and to be better mate.

I understand your love for her wasn’t successful,
I could feel the wound that couldn’t be easily mend which makes you sorrowful.
You’ve given her almost everything,
Just to make her feel how much you love her and you’re ready to give her what love could bring.

Yet suddenly she told you that she doesn’t love you,
Never realizing how genuine your love for her and simply true.
There you go punishing yourself to death,
Losing your hope and trying to bid your last breath.

Never did you realize that someone shares with your agony,
Someone who honestly cares for you and simply wants you to be happy.
So why don’t you look around and weep no more,
For surely there’s someone else that to you secretly adore.

I never expected to have met such a great person as you,
Not even in my wildest dreams did I expect that you’d be true.
I don’t know what I did to deserve such a great treat,
Your presence,your smile,the whole you makes my day complete.

I honestly am grateful for having you by my side,
I know,my friend,all my tears would subside.
You are there whenever I need you the most ,
You are the one who comforts me like the Holy Ghost.

I don’t know how would I compensate you for such genuine kindness,
That’s why I’m always asking Him,that you’ll be bless.
But I know,even if I don’t, He’d always do,
Coz you are a real paragon of sweetness and virtue.

I surely am part of His ‘great plan’,
When He prepleted this world with woman and man.
I never know the purpose I am here,
Since then I’ve been wondering, yet until now it has never been clear.

I was born to care for myself, I believe,
Set a perfect goal that someday I would achieve.
Or just live my life and enjoy every minute of it,maybe;
Or let the nature and His will, how it is supposed to be.

I was really clueless what my purpose is,
Not until I found such a swell bliss.
I think I ought to surrender my life to Him,
So that He’ll keep me afloat in life’s stream.

I just couldn’t help myself praising the Lord,
For He surely deserves much more than any sweet word.
I really feel blessed whenever I have a problem,
Coz I know its His undying and glorious love’s emblem.

Whenever I look at the portrait of mine before,
I just can’t believe it the more.
I know now that now I am a contented person,
For I believe everything happens for a reason.

My dear Auntie,
You make my day complete and paint my face with such a glee.
I’m very happy that I know you’ll always be there,
Always ready to make us feel that you really care.

That’s why I always ask Him to always bless you and your family,
Keep you away from any jeopardy and lighten your adversity.
From everyday works He guide you always,
And make your life the best of days.

I know He must have heard my prayer,
Coz He lengthen your life keep you away from all sorts of danger.
He gave you a family that we’re paragon of sweetness and virtue,
A family that really loves you.

I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted, and here’s the reason why:
I have a God who’s mighty, Who’s sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team.
He is all-wise and powerful. Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same.
My God knows all that’s happening; Beginning to the end;
His presence is my comfort; He is my dearest Friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me, To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God; Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten to rob me of my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast, Where all my strivings cease.
When my heart melts within me, and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms, He soothes my heart and soul.
The great “I AM” is with me. My life is in His hand.
The “Son of the Lord” is my hope. It’s in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated. My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me, As through this life I trod.
I’m looking past all my circumstances, To Heaven’s throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God I’m resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything. My eyes are on His face;
The battle’s His, the victory mine; He’ll help me win the race.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!!!
Pass it on!
“Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be…”

By Helen Stiener Rice

Remember that ideals
are like stars up in the sky,
You can never really reach them,
hanging in the heavens high….
But like the mighty mariner
who sailed the storm-tossed sea,
And used the stars to chart his course
with skill and certainty,
You too can chart your course in life
with high ideals and love,
For high ideals are like the stars
that light the sky above….
You cannot ever reach them,
but lift your heart up high
And your life will be as shining
as the stars up in the sky.

I wish you the courage to be warm when the world would prefer that you be cool.
I wish you success sufficient to your needs;
I wish you failure to temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your days;
I wish you sadness so that you may better measure joy.
I wish you gladness to overbalance your grief.
I wish you humor and a twinkle in your eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path and health to carry you on your journey.
I wish you peace — in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of you heart where truth is kept.
I wish you faith — to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you — except perhaps love — to make all the rest worthwhile.
