It Is Not Up To Me

0 Upvotes

It is not up to me to be anyone's judge

Or of their achievements and successes them to begrudge

But i can be of benefit to humanity even in a small way

By helping someone in need of helping today

From a tiny seed a big tree is grown

And from our every good deed our future good karma is sown

And every wrong to another that you choose to do

In a negative way will return to you

Many admirers for their kindness the good may not win

But they are helping to make the world better to live in

To those they are helping some hope they do bring

And this in itself is a wonderful thing

And for a better world to live in i only can say

That i too in this does have some part to play.

It Is Part Of Our Existence

1 Upvotes

It is part of our existence in truth one can say

That for all of us there is a last night and day

Like there is for every creature great and small

And this in any way is not a bad thing at all

Whether the death of the body is outlived by the soul of the mind

An answer to this i don't have for to find

If i told you i knew i would be telling a lie

Only know we are born into live in the world to eventually die

Like the horse or the dog or the pig or the sheep

Our appointment with death is the one we must keep

And what happens to the soul at life's bodily death

Does it die in the body with the last breath

I only can say what to me is true

For of an answer to this i do not have a clue.

The life she’s lived in song.

I have not a single thing to complain about , when it comes to my mom. The perfect example of a woman, to me she’s done no wrong. To recount my fondest memories, she was there at every one, and any time that pain arose, she would rise above. My mom never worried me, when life had worried her. She simply showed me Jesus heals, through love you’ll find the cure. She shows the world around her, that light should always glow, and the light we shine on others, is how their faith in God will grow. She keeps a perfect beat in life as the band keeps marching on, her voice in tune with melodies of the life she’s lived in song. Kindness comes from her heart, in every moment yet, Jesus Christ in woman form is what you always get. Anyone can come to her seeking great advice, and my mom will be a mom to you, good fortune to your life. Like an angel, guarding over me since the day she gave my birth. Never failing to love me like Christ our lord, even at my worst. I can only trust the Lord my God through the example of my mom, I sing praises to her every time, I praise the lord in song. So happy Mother’s Day to my one and only mom, God gave us all the best through the life shes lived in song.
Love Jacob
