A Tribute to the Almighty God

 The greatest of human philosophers cannot prove by reasoning that you exist

And yet nature testifies that you are real

You are not a magic potion

Still you are the all sufficient one for those that trust you

You are not a charm or amulet

But you banish all darkness, fear and evil

You cannot be inhaled, absorbed, digested, ingested or given intravenously

Yet you empower man’s total being with strength

You cannot be seen, touched, heard, tasted or smelt

And yet you…..

Are seen through the eyes of understanding

Touched by faith that brings about wholeness

Tasted through digestion of your words which is sweet

Heard as you impresses your word upon the heart

Smelt as the heart ponders your awesomeness

Those that mock you in life

Tremble at the thought of meeting you at death

Those who are persecuted because of you

Endure such persecution with gladness and joy

For you control the forces of nature

And uses them to accomplish your purpose

When other need multiple gods to satisfy their needs

You surpass all any man can ever need and more

You are so great no one name adequately describe you

El Elyon, El Shaddai, El Olam, Adanoi, Yahweh, Jehovah and more

El Shaddai – the breasted one, the all sufficient one

El Elyon- the strong one, the mighty one

El Olam- the eternal one, the everlasting one

 Adoni- my owner, my master, my lord

YHWH- the unmentionable name

Jehovah- the eternal self existing one and more

You are the Almighty one, the great creator, Lord of all

You are the most powerful, most magnificent, most glorious being in the universe

You are The Almighty God

     A Tribute to Women

Endowed with beauty both in body and disposition
She is the masterpiece of God's creation
And who can add anything to perfection
Designed and equipped so well to care and nurture
Depository of wisdom that will influence the future
Entrusted with bearing earth's great ones
Nourishing body, mind, spirit and soul
Ensuring the whole being is healthy and whole
Ignoring one's place in the social order
Pope, king, president, or pauper
This is the way and no other
Born cherished and cared
By a woman and mother

 Rising out of Obscurity

 Although you may think you are in obscurity
And you are unable to see any light in the near future
You are down and out and presently living in the ashes
Be patient
The eyes of the unseen One sees all
He is waiting to lift you  up far beyond your wildest imaginations
The things you  have perfected in your private moments
He will reveal to the universe
Don't worry about those who blow their own trumpets
Singing their own praises and touting their achievements
Shouting from house tops to be seen or heard
Neither envy the proud and the boastful
They too have their private hell
Unfortunately for them they live in the same world as you
A world where problems, sickness and death has no friend
Like you  they too are mortal men
Quietly pursue the road you must tread and pursue your calling
In due time your light will shine
Remember it is the Eternal One that weigh hearts and motives
Therefore be ready for destiny's call
It is a sure thing she will come calling
Don't ask her for time to prepare when she calls
Render assistance to every man that ask for it
You  never can tell if this is not just a test of kindness and character
And always have open hands
Only then will you be able to give and to receive
Ask yourself is it better to be at the foot of a ladder or the top?
Be where you best serve your fellowman

   Lament of a dog

I know that I was a dog when I was born

Now I do not know what I have become

 For man in his insanity to create

Have gone about me to remake

First he would not have me see a second generation

So it was to the vet for sterilization

Because he would not have my passing on my genes

Lest my off springs behave like his wayward teens

To the store I am brought and bought doggy clothes

I did not know I had anything I need to fear being exposed

Then he went about to change my character

That I am a dog first and foremost did not factor

When I would like to be outside running wild

I am locked in a house as a companion for his child

So I grow lazy and fat

Punishment lay in store if for fun I look at the cat

Imagine me a dog is expected to sit and watch television

And show excitement and appreciation

Where there is deficient in man’s life of love and devotion

I the dog am recipient of those emotions

Now I am no longer a dog

I have become a member of the family

What I have become I really hate

I wish man would my dog hood reinstate

For I must do the things man think a dog should enjoy

When rather I would do what makes a dog doggone happy
