Words have the power to heal.

Blessed are the peacemakers says the Lord.
Yet, how to forgive those who have wronged us?
To err is human say the philosophers.
Yet, how to forgive ourselves for costly mistakes?
Blessed are the poor in spirit says the Bible.
Yet, how to stay humble in a greed driven world?
It is better to give than to receive says Wisdom.
Yet, how often have we walked by those in need?

You are not alone.
God is with you. He will not forsake you.
Dig deep into your Spirit until you see your own light.
Pray up to God until He opens your path.
Read the Word of God until a revelation comes.
Let God's creations embrace you.

Be humble.
Love God. His Love endures forever.
Extend the olive branch.
Forgive and love yourself.
Forgive and love one another.
Forgive and love your enemy.
God paid the price in advance for your peace.
Forgive thru God's power and love.
Keep extending the Olive Branch.
Be a peacemaker and stay in peace.

Look above for the true love
Walk with God
In a divine and special union
Trust in Him to find your person
He may be leading another
To their perfect union
Trust in the Trifecta of Love
Let Jesus in your midst
And watch as your future unfolds
Where from simple infatuation grows
To genuine deeper friendship
With trust and true love
Respect and Communication
Trust and Uplift with Joy
And blossom in a Trifecta of Love.

So deep, so wonderful
So truthful, so objective
A mirror to my soul
A light to my feet
Lightens my heart
Frees my spirit
Fills me with joy
Embraces me
For true friendship
Is selfless love.

As I sit here
In pensive mood
With pen in hand
Watching life go by
And another die,
With sadness and anger,
Love and compassion,
I feel disillusioned and lost.
She is a physical part of me.
Blood thicker than water.

As my grandmother leaves,
So does a part of me.
Yet, as my foundation
Is being pulled from under me,
And as I tumble over,
Possibly, I can save some pieces
Like her wisdom, her warmth, her strength,
And use them to rebuild myself
As I will be the foundation
For future generations.

Remember, though, her spirit,
Which defies physical elements.
The body withers and limits one,
But the spirit fights to overcome.
This is the battle of body and soul.
If the soul can force the body to live
Then both live on.
If the body dies, the soul lives on.
The spirit is triumphant either way!

Daddy, I am your angel.
I know it, because you told me so.
I am your soul, I know it,
Because you told me so.
Your eyes reflect the warmth of your heart.
Your embrace protects and comforts me.
Your words are few, simple and clear.
You have a ready and listening ear.
Your dance is light with charm and grace.
Your humor puts a smile upon my face.
Let me pose, so you can take a picture
Of me blowing you a kiss.
A kiss full of love and thanks for caring.
And Daddy, I know I am your special little girl,
I know it, because you told me so.

As the chaste carpet is unrolled,
So is our future together.
As the music is harmonious,
So may our lives be with each other.
As the flame of the candles burn,
So may the love in our hearts burn forever.
As the basket overflows with flowers,
So may we always overflow with joy.
As the petals are strewn gently,
So shall we care for each other.
As these rings shine with richness,
So do our eyes with hope and trust.
As we join in wedlock,
We commit ourselves to one another,
And pray for God's blessing and guidance.

Union of man and woman
Culminating to form life,
So small, beautiful, and pure.
Blissful ignorance.
Intuitive knowledge.
Growth withers away innocence,
Forces you through undesired passages,
Manipulates your inner being,
Until, a glance reflects a stranger.
Maturity is the devil in disguise.

Oh, to be young and free again!
But life starts at forty…
You're in your prime!
"Prime"…
The last shot of whiskey…
The last tango in Paris…
The last "Hurrah"!

Prime snatched away
By winter's scathing cold.
Life turns into solitude.
Memories linger in the distance,
Then disappear.
Life evolves into an eternal light,
Or into a dark abyss.

I love you so very much.
I long for your tender touch.
But even more I miss
Your warm and gentle kiss.
The many moments we shared,
Each showed how much we cared.
Every fallen tear
Made our love dear.
As long as I shall live,
To you I wish to give
My heart with lock and key
For you are the only one for me.
