144 Days - 167 Poems - 21 Posts (Poem 33)

Hello my Readers,

Tonight's poem is inspired about what I discovered of myself today.
There is a phrase that I dread much, and from time to time it comes
haunting, but today I discovered a new angle of it; People -Pleaser!

Over the past month and half, I had to make few choices of letting
so many things that I had embraced; tonight I discovered while talking
it through that at times to embrace too much can also be a sign of
being a people-pleaser. Shocker!!!

I am indeed pleased I released myself of so many responsilibities, and
chose to focus on doing few things well. A professor of mine once
said: "There are times in life we are so busy serving God everywhere
that we forget to serve him with the very things He has entrusted us with".
So tonight's poem is a self acknowledgement, concise, haiku styled on
a few layers, repetitive.I am happy to be dedicating time to poetry again ...

Tonight I look at myself through the mirror of my writings, and
refuse to excuse myself.


Countdown: 144 Days -167 poems- 21 Weeks

I must now go and rest, as I am still recovering.

Good night and thank you

Poem 23 - No end for the greatest ( Weekly Post #2)

No end for the greatest

Like a radio turned on, 1Corinthians 13:8a repeats

As if I had never ever heard it read it or recited it

Like a radio who’s remote is broken, I am convicted

Of a new understanding of Biblical Love True Love

Like a radio compelling you to call in, I am inspired

To pen, to inscribe for us the hidden knowledge of

Love never comes to an end

Is this true? What Love? How?

In a century where more marriages

Rooted in Christ are falling apart

Love, are you really for ever?

Then who are you that we may

Discover embrace you anew

I ponder from the depths of me

Like a radio repeating what was spread, I am playing

here the words of the apostle Paul and loudly reflecting

Love never comes to an end

If Love never comes to an end

No wonder Love must struggle to establish

then Love is more than emotional sparkles

If Love never comes to an end

Aren’t Love and the weather twins

The weather never comes to an end

If Love never comes to an end

In Love then, there is no cul-de-sac

But surely Love has seasons

And St Paul wrote ‘Love never comes to an end’

Then indeed Love never comes to an end

For Love is the greatest

If Love never comes to an end

Truly Love is a divine a person

Love is the Heavenly Father

If Love never comes to an end

Then Love is truth and isn’t Truth a person

Then Love is a person, Jesus Christ

If Love never comes to an end

Then Love is and will always be eternal for

Love proceeds from the Father Eternal and the Son

And St Paul preached ‘Love never comes to an end’

Then Divine Love is the core of a Covenant Marriage

For Love is the greatest

If Love never comes to an end

Though Day and Night may shift

For Love will dwell here forever

And St Paul said: ‘Love never comes to an end’

Indeed Love never comes to an end.

Hello Readers,

Today's poem is inspired by today's gospel reading in Luke, and the beauty that
we have Sundays as Christians for our families to deepen our bonding.

Today's poem is inspired by our Spiritual Father in the Lord; Pope Francis.

Today's poem is inspired by a couple that was blessed at Church today as they
were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary; As they renewed their vows,

I witness something I had never seen in my life before, tears were rolling down
the eyes of the HUSBAND...


Today's poem is a long poem...

My dear readers,

Yesterday although an unusual day filled with  new experiences
 was so overwhelming that writing did not happen. For the first
time since the beginning of this challenge, I missed a day.

----Today, I was inspired by two themes;

1. Silence because often times it unveils unheard riches
2. Sickness because such has been my state for the past two days.
