Bride Song (Poem)

In time for Valentine's Day, I'm re-posting a poem I wrote a few years ago that expresses my Love for Yeshua/Jesus the Christ.

Happy Valentine's Day!

You gaze upon me, such Love in your eyes

Calling me “Beloved,” but what have I done?

I am hated, a loser, a thing people despise

Do I deserve such Love from someone?

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let me look through your eyes and know

~What's within me, that you discovered

~Let me seek the Love that you sow

 What do you see with your vision so wise?

I feel lifted; my poor sight undone

A Light deep inside as I look through your eyes

A new journey has now begun

 

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let me look through your eyes and know

~What's within me, that you discovered

~Let me seek the Love that you sow

I look through your eyes at the others

Before they were sinful, adrift and just wrong

Now I see the same Light within them

They’ve been the same as me all along

 ~Let us look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let us look through your eyes and know

~What's within us, that you discovered

~Let us seek the Love that you sow

 I share your Love for all others

I reach out my hand without shame

I’ve learned they are sisters and brothers

And God loves each of us the same

 ~Let us look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let us look through your eyes and know

~What's within us, that you discovered

~Let us seek the Love that you sow

  

I sing this Song to the whole world

His Love extends far beyond me

Hate or anger need not be hurled

A better life there can certainly be

 

~Let us look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let us look through your eyes and know

~What's within us, that you discovered

~Let us seek the Love that you sow

  

For the Feast, guests are excited

The Spirit’s mission is done

Bride and Groom at last united

Now they are truly one

 

~Let us look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let us look through your eyes and know

~What's within us, that you discovered

~Let us seek the Love that you sow

  

Brother / Sister no more divided

Basking in the eyes of the Son

Heaven sings; all are delighted

The Promised Kingdom has come

 

~Let us look through your eyes, my beloved

~Let us look through your eyes and know

~What's within us, that you discovered

~Let us seek the Love that you sow

New Year's Resolution

I made one New Year's resolution many years ago that I've been able to keep - just one.

That was to make no more New Year's resolutions.

Does that mean there is nothing about me that I intend to change?

Do I want to loose the extra weight I carry around? Do I want to become a better person?

Do I want to strive to do more to help my fellow human being in this world?

Of course I do!

I just no longer wait until one particular day each year to try to change something about myself in a positive way.

No one knows with 100% accuracy what will happen tomorrow.

We can plan, certainly. We can schedule. But none of us "KNOWS" what tomorrow will bring - or even the next hour.

So if I truly wish to make a change in myself, I have the moment right in my hands. This very moment, today!

Now.

Each day, each moment brings us a fresh new opportunity as pristine as the moment that occurred at midnight local time on New Year's Day.

Why wait until the turning of the calendar to allow myself that opportunity and let all the others slip by?

Carpe Diem

Seize the Day

Seize the Moment

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Bride Song (Poem)

You gaze upon me, such Love in your eyes
Calling me “Beloved,” but what have I done
I am hated, a loser, a thing people despise
Do I deserve such Love from someone

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved
~Let me look through your eyes and know
~What's within me, that you discovered
~Let me share Love your heart does sow

What do you see with your vision so wise
I feel lifted; my poor sight undone
A Light deep inside as I look through your eyes
A new journey has now begun

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved
~Let me look through your eyes and know
~What's within me, that you discovered
~Let me share Love your heart does sow

I look through your eyes at the others
Before they were sinful, adrift and just wrong
Now I see the same Light within them
They’ve been the same as me all along

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved
~Let me look through your eyes and know
~What's within us, that you discovered
~Let me share Love your heart does sow

I share your Love for all others

I’ve learned they are sisters and brothers
And God Loves each of us the same

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved
~Let me look through your eyes and know

Hate or anger need not be hurled
A better life there can certainly be

~Let me look through your eyes, my beloved
~Let me look through your eyes and know
