My Master and I -author unknown

I had walked life's path with an easy tread;
Had followed where pleasure and comfort led;
And then by chance, in a quiet place,
I met the Master face to face.

With station and rank and wealth for goal,
Much thought for the body, but none for the soul,
I had entered into life's mad race.
When I met the master face to face.

I had built my castles,and had reared them high,
Until their towers had pierced the blue of the sky;
I had sworn to rule with iron mace,
When I met the master, face to face.

I met Him, and I knew Him, and I blushed to see
That His eyes full of sorrow were fixed on me;
And I faltered and fell at His feet that day,
While my castles melted and vanished away.

Melted and vanished, and in their place
I could see naught else but my Master's face,
I cried aloud, "Oh, make me meek
To follow the marks of Thy feet."

My thought is now for the soul of men;
I lost my life to find it again,
E'er since alone, in that quiet place,
My master and I stood-face to face.

Good Environment, Good Health

It is important to have good health

For our life to be long and skip death

There's a need for us to take foods that are natural

Not only instant and drinking vitamins and minerals

Our environment must also be clean

Like putting trash inside the garbage bin

Replacing the water inside containers like vases

To prevent dengue and other sickness

Drinking alcohol, smoking and drug-using

In life, these doesn't have importance and meaning

But poor not only rich still engage to these

Because of their habitat and pressure among peers

Some chemicals like CFC

And even T.V. with radioactivity

Causes damage and harm

As well as make the globe so warm

This is a cue for us to change

At first, it may look sound or strange

We must preserve the beauty of our environment

For the next generation's benefits will be sufficient

Mama's Love

A mother's love is so magical

She make things right, she is practical

Always worried about our wants and needs

Makes us recall to avoid wrong deeds

At night, she applies our skin with insect repellent

My role model of becoming a future parent

Before we go to sleep, she reminds us to brush our teeth

And if we are wounded, she easily finds the first aid kit

She almost have no time in taking a rest

Attending to us, she really is the best

Making and setting things so fair

Trying to cool us down when we flare

She can't ask for more but to see us happy

Education according to her is a heritage,better study

Now we know how important we are to our mother

We honor her in striving for a better future

God's Greatest Blessing

Some people don't give much endeavor
But are poignant of asking favor
They haven't got the value of patience
Can't help in blaming God for their pestilence

We need to exhort them
Especially when they have a problem
Their faith will be strengthened
If only we ask thereof in heaven

In obeying God's commandments, we'll receive life everlasting
Which is Almighty Father's greatest given blessing
For us to return to His Heavenly Kingdom
Repent, before judgement seat will come

Love is Sacrifice

Love is meaningless without the word sacrifice

We shouldn't play with it, it's not a game nor a dice

Material things are the only things that are used

Not people you are making confused

It's difficult to accept the point of letting go

It's like making your energy level low

You have to face the reality

So keep your eyes from being teary

Remain a life with beauty

Instead of being sad and lonely

Accept the fact that you weren't meant for each other

Stand up, rejoice and bring the world some laughter

Forget about the time your love one bid goodbye

Even though it badly hurts, just try not to sigh

Loving someone is vow not being lend

Perhaps everything except God has an end

Remember the Savior's line

We are the branches and He is the vine

When He was scourged, He said that His heart is ready

A great and loving sacrifice that made us free

Three Words

I really have feelings for you

I also dreamed that your feelings for me are true

There were nights I thought of you when I'm lying in bed

I think I can't get you out of my head

If you'll hear these three words I'll free them out from my mouth

I'll make sure that it will be without any doubt

You in my life gave shine to my light

And brought wonderful colors that are bright

These three words are I love you

I won't have any regrets if you can't say I love you too

There's nothing more I can ask because having you is enough

Even when things go rough and tough

Seeing you and being with you each day means so much to me

If you only knew how much I love you, you'll see

I don't expect you to love me in return

As long as you're happy even if still to you I'll turn
