Jesus Christ has risen my friend, now, life through Him has no end,
For witnesses who saw Christ die, saw Him risen to ascend on high,
To the women, the angel had said, Christ has risen, He is not dead,
Indeed many others came to see, the tomb of Christ, is now empty.
Even those guarding the tomb, seeing that angel, felt a dark doom,
Seeing the wonder of The Lord, God’s power could not be ignored,
From that angel, white as snow, all those present, now would know,
Christ has risen just as He said, so now joy had filled them instead.
On the road they heard His voice, so all together they would rejoice,
Told to go and tell their brothers, so today, like them, we tell others;
Unlike those elder, Jewish Priests, who wickedly conjured up deceit,
To explain away The Risen Truth, changed lives are His Living Proof.
Changed through The Resurrection, we now share God’s Revelation,
Now sent forth as Christ’s disciple, with our Lord’s mission to fulfill,
So as we herald God’s Salvation, we make disciples in every nation,
Teaching them to obey all He said, spreading His Truth in His stead.
To be a disciple you must first, become a member of God’s Church,
Not that building with a steeple, but, His Body of born again people,
Saved by Christ, as sinners lost, through God’s Power of The Cross,
Now raised by God to New Life, by The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God is more than just a selector; He is Guide, Comfort and Protector,
Ordaining every path that we take, The Lord is there, make no mistake.
Friend if in life when we should stray, God remains at our side to stay,
Even when we turn to the left or right, we are guided back to His Light.
God guides us in the darkest time; all part of God’s Sovereign design,
To guide us through every place, well supplied by His wonderful grace,
An ample supply in times of despair, guiding us with His love and care,
Leading us on as His very own, though we wander, He guides us home.
In times of trouble God comforts us, by The Comforter of Christ Jesus,
A comfort from God, we truly find, that assures us, with peace of mind,
As God comforts our troubled heart, for we know God will never depart,
He is at our side, both night and day, as He comforts us along the way.
The Lord from above protects His own, displaying power of His Throne,
God shields believers through this life, all by the Power of Jesus Christ,
He helps a troubled heart be still, while in our life, He works out His Will,
All this as God holds us in His hand, in ways that we cannot understand.
Whatever path God selects for you, Christ shall indeed see you through,
As a guide, He knows all your ways, so He can fill your heart with praise,
When Christ guides you from above, He fills you with His peace and love,
As Christ protects you day and night; sheltering you in His awesome light.

Reflection on The Risen Christ, should motivate our present life,
That God’s Word should have its way, in all our lives day to day,
So His Word sisters and brothers, can reach the heart of others,
In the power of the Resurrection, God will give us clear direction.
That the Risen Lord can deliver us, from all who know not Jesus,
Against men who have no faith, God will supply abundant Grace,
Being established in God’s Son, He guards us from that evil one,
This is our confidence, in this life, this, as we follow Jesus Christ.
Some who also know The Lord, don’t walk with us in one accord,
Having not a right relationship, with them we shouldn’t fellowship,
Unlike those busy in the Church, they’re busybodies without work,
But, they shouldn’t be ignored, instead, admonished for The Lord.
For the Lord God above is faithful, to all who carry out God’s will,
So we must finish what we start; obeying Him we won’t lose heart,
This as we follow God not men, whose evil ways He will condemn,
As we’re to be an example of Christ, as God’s influence in our life.
May Paul’s words, in Thessalonians, move our spirits, deep within,
While we labor for the living God, upon the present roads we trod,
Through faith, love and sacrifice, serving our Savior, Jesus Christ,
For our labor is of eternal worth, as Christ in us, builds His Church.

He said “all power is given to me,” “in Heaven and earth” for all eternity,
The words spoken by The Risen Lord; Truth that should not be ignored,
Spoken to men who truly believed, power from Him, they also received,
The power of The Resurrected Christ, would change every disciple’s life.
The same power from Christ on high, is given to believers like you and I,
That same power to go and proclaim, God’s Salvation, in Christ’s Name,
Which friend is every believer’s mission, to finish the Great Commission,
All believers are called this very hour, to go forth with resurrection power.
All believers today must be on board, to carry out the words of our Lord,
To go out and preach to every nation, the Truth of God and His salvation,
Preaching God’s Truths in every land, while teaching all He did command,
It is in the power that God gave us, that we can speak for our Lord Jesus.
All power is in the Holy Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth wherever we trod,
Being indwelled by the Spirit of eternity, we don’t have a spirit of timidity,
As The Holy Spirit bears the proof, as He leads all hearers to God’s Truth,
The Eternal Truths of God’s Revelation, leading unsaved men to salvation.
Believers aren’t ashamed of the Gospel, like Paul we’re obligated to fulfill,
The commission from our Lord, Christ, as God has granted us a New Life,
A life far beyond this present earth, all through God’s power, of New Birth,
So with our place secure in Paradise, our witness for God, is a small price.

I only need to be quiet and still, as The Lord works out His will,
Within my life this very day, guiding me in all that I do and say,
The Lord’s will I may not know, as He shows me the way to go,
As God guides my daily life, through The Spirit of Jesus Christ.
This as God desires to reach, souls using my action or speech,
Knowing the words, that I impart, all come from within my heart,
As He works in hearts of those, people about us that He chose,
Those souls, open to God’s Truth, using our life as living proof.
As there’s lost sheep about us, who need to see a true witness.
Of real life changes, all made by, The Holy Spirit, from on high,
A witness, by God, to other men, that we have been born again,
Saved by God from a life of sin, to now live a New Life for Him.
When in God, we place our trust; a New Life for Christ is a must,
For those lost, to really see, the power that comes from Calvary,
The power that truly changes a life, when we follow Jesus Christ,
Not change created on our own, but, change from God’s Throne.
This as He sends His Spirit below, with change that all will know,
Sending His Spirit down to earth, granting a soul a spiritual birth,
To live for God each and every day, led by Christ along the way,
Living for God in this present life; directed by the Spirit of Christ.

Diplomacy of inconstancy
unmeets the urgency. Aura
of brilliance was falling in your feet.
After the death, it was not a name,
only a frozen body.We moved backward
swiftly, to find out the footprints in dark.
Winter was becoming harsh and
less meaningful. A weak muscle brokers
a peace for dewdrops on rose petals.
I become an earlier story, failed.
Pick up the moon rocks
and start throwing them at sun.

Let’s play a game called love Stay here by the ocean enjoying the warmth of the sun,
Just have fun cherish this moment,
Look into each other’s eyes smile as the water rush against our semi bare skin,
Put our phones on silent or we can just turn them off,
It’s our time to cuddle push our troubles to the side while we lay in the sand,
I want you to play in my hair while I lay on your arm,
We whisper in each other’s ear the many things we like to hear,
Let us work on our many pleasures while we enjoy this peaceful day together,
Jump in the smallest part of the ocean splashing water at each other,
Chase me down the boardwalk forgetting about everyone around us,
Just have fun bask in the sun love is so beautiful when you have someone special to share it with,
Let’s kiss after you catch me sense im not as fast as you when it comes to running,
Let’s rest on a bench taking in the fresh air,
I’ll use my towel to dry you off even though my need to keep you clean irritates you,
I smile at the face you make while I whip the sand off of your face,
Of course you feel the need to correct me when you see the need,
We may have our flaws but this is the kind of love that beats the odds,
No one cares whose looking in waiting to give their opinion,
The only thing that matters here is you, and me
“THE END”

Jackson Dream
I lower my head and say prayer to my lord.
When tomorrow start without me
it will will start with my fans and family.
When I'm gone don't forget me you can forget all the bad times
but remember the good times we shared.
Like a fish in water and the birds in the sky
when I'm gone I won't forget them same fins and bright yellow feathers
When I'm gone I won't forget the soft sound of my music
I song for you.
You knew me as the king of pop,
you love me when I did the moon walk!
When people ask you who I am tell them
I'm looking at the man in the mirror know as Michael Jackson
and remember just call my name
and I'll be there
holding steady to your love in your dreams
Gone to soon
We love you & miss

Today's Prayer
Today's I am happy
probably Today I am happy
tomorrow I will be sad
But I am always happy
In my very own way
You see, today I am happy
Because I have my friends around me
Tomorrow I don't know
What it will be
So I live for today
And I will for tomorrow
No matter what that day will bring
Good joy is what I expect
In my family
For no matter what we are always together
In life or in death
While awake or asleep
Whether in the state or cross sea
At school or in bed
Amen

The Swan Of Passion
The other swan laughs and call me names
for I HIV inside me
it hurts to see my friends laughing at me
I want to tell them to stop
I want to tell them it is not OK
I want to tell them to look beyond the horizon
But they will not listen
They will not hear their own voices
They think that they might get it just by floating by me
They think that they are better than I
They think that I am a threat to them,
their well-being, and to all other swans
What they don't know is that I too can feel
I too can hurt,
I too can heal
I too can fly
So while I appear alone
I know my heart is filled
with passion
with faith
with acceptance
with desire
I hope that they never have names called upon them
and if they do
That they realize
That wings can take you anywhere
