The Eagel

I the eagle a symbol of Strength and beauty,

I the eagle a symbol of freedom and authority;

I fly toward light; the sun can’t harm my eyes,

My enemies are behind me blinded by the sight. 

Deep in to the clouds I glide and soar,

I can fly and rise I am not afraid of the storm.

I get really excited when clouds start to gather,

I mount up and ride on the air current farther.

When you see trial and temptation,

You too must fly directly to the sun;

The light of God will blind your enemy,

You will get rid of sadness and worry.

Don’t be content to live with mediocrity,

Soar in the heaven far above the winds of adversity.

Fly the storm of life with great faith,

Don’t rely on human Support or consciousness;

Act like a child of God with great confidence,
everyhing is  possible when you are in his hands.

You are not made to be with chickens in barns,

But you are made to fly like me in heavens above.

Don’t feed yourself anything that is dead,

What enters in you determines your strength;

With Prayers and praise develop your wings,

Sharpen your vision understand his words;

Fine-tune your ear to obey God’s voice,

Destroy evil and fly high from your sins.

"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."   Isaiah 40:31 KJV

My Flower

I don't know if it was an accident, Or if it is a destiny

I don't know if it was a dream or reality

I don't know how I found you, or is it you who found me? 

May be you walked through a flame of fire and you cut through the forest,

I might have crossed the river and flew from a different content;

Somehow and some way, 

You came in to my life one day.

You walked  in to  my heart unexpected,

It was very calm and uninterrupted;

When I looked up I saw us holding hands,

I turned around and I was under your arms.

I didn't have to ask who you are,

Or did I need to know where you were.

My soul felt at home when I looked through your eyes,

I was in peace when you whispered through my ears.

The warmth of your hands reminded me of my favorite season,

When you hugged me I felt protected beyond reason;

I longed for days I see you face to face.

When I finally saw you I wished the hours would never end,

I hope there will be many more days to come my beloved.

I want us to grow like two flowers next to each other,

Blooming each day feeding their cents to one another;

I will be your water and you will be my sun,

We will cry together when we need the rain.

I will take out any weeds that is keeping you from growing,

And I hope you return my love by taking out mine.

"Come my beloved let us go forth to the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. The mandrakes give of fragrance  and at our gates are pleasant fruits, all manner, new and old which I have laid up for you, my beloved." Song of Solomon 7: 11-13

Waiting for you to notice me

Why do you keep asking and praying?

When I am the one who is waiting,

Waiting for you to notice me

Just for a moment to look at me.

Why do you look at me?

But you can’t see me

You stretch your arms,

But you can’t touch me

You keep asking one question

Over and over and you wonder.

I am not sure what you are asking,

I found you and you found me;

You are the one who kept hiding

You pass by me you pass through me,

But never took the time to notice me.

May be one day you realize

How much I loved

How much I cared

How I tried and how I suffered

How I wanted to be notice.

Which one are you? Are you the one who is doing the ignoring or are your the one who is waiting to be noticed? While you don't want to force love, you also don't want to ignore it when it comes on your way. 

If you are the one who has been doing the ignoring it is time for you to look around and find out who that person is and try to give that person a chance. (Obviously this doesn't apply to people who are already in a relationship)  If not be honest and let them know not to waste their time on you...tell them to move on. 

If you are the one who has been waiting to be noticed, maybe it is time for you to let go of that person; because if they never take the time to notice you, they may never will and life is too short to be wasting your time on someone who doesn't care about you. In some cases that someone may not even know you exist. Invest that energy on someone who would appreciate your value. Remember you are more than a shadow, you are created in the image of God, you are worthy of Love. 

"God's will is for each of us is to experience the joy of  Love. He did not created us to be alone but to find fulfillment and joy in relationship with one another." 

"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm: For love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters can not quench love, nor can the floods drown it." Song of Solomon 8: 6-7

May your song of love be as sweet as the Songs of Solomon . Happy Valentines! 

The Ladder

In my dream I dreamed of a ladder,

Excited I asked myself and pondered

Is this the famous Jacob ladder? I doubted.

Wishing and hoping to repeat history

Wondering if God chose me to see his Glory

I looked up to see the gate of haven

But, God was not on top of the ladder

There were no angels to encounter;

It was Just a simple stepladder I climb up every day,

It was my own life I lived day by day.

So, I had a simple talk with the ladder

Though I knew it would not give me any answer.

“Every day I am trying to climb you up

Every day I hold on to you so tight

Afraid to let go and enjoy the scenery

I want to get to the top, I worry.

Sometimes I am afraid of falling,

Sometimes I am afraid of dying;

Why can’t I enjoy each step?

Why I am I focused only to get to the top?"

I should know each step is a journey,

Each step is a way to my destiny,

Each step makes me who I am today;

Each is step I passed is my history.

If I rush and get to the top,

I might miss what is really important.

I may not see the angels going up and down,

Or worse,  I may fall off and never see God on the crown.

I may never know how you are attached to the ground,

And how you reach the haven by the power of the unknown;

From now on I will enjoy your every step and blessing,

My life will be filled with singing, and rejoicing.

" Then he dreamed, and behold a ladder was setup on earth and its top reach to heaven; and there the angels of God were acending and decending on it... Genesis 28:12

Adam and Eve

When Adam awake from a deep sleep,
Eve was  standing on the cliff
Admiring the heaven and taking a deep breath.
He didn't know who she was, but he felt his heart skip,

His first instinct was to give her a big kiss,

Not wanting to scare her, he decides to speak.

Still laying on the ground he said hello to her,

When she smiled and said hello, heaven starts to spin.

Overwhelmed by his feelings and the beauty of God’s gift,

He got up and walk toward her hiding his heartbeat.

He asked for her name, she said her name was Eve;

Her voice was like music, he couldn't speak but weep.

Then he  looked through her eyes to tell her how he felt,

But she run away and hid playing hard to get.

After looking for her for so many days and nights 

Excited by the chase and his animal instincts;

Adam declared his love, unable to wait.

“I think of you by day, I think of you by night,

Every minute I have every second I got.

The moment I laid my eyes on you, you took my heart and hide 

what else can you call this except love at first sight.

I don’t know what to do should I just let you go?

How can I know for sure unless you tell me so.

Sometimes I am so sure we share the same feeling

Sometimes I am afraid I am just imagining.

I wish you would tell me I wish I know your heart,

I can’t go anywhere I feel really stuck “

Eve finally came out and also confessed her love

She never loved no one, he is the only Man.

She told him the story, the part of her dream

From the day they met to the reason she is here.

They kissed, and hugged and laughed, they both looked at the stars;

They shared each other tears, they shared each other hearts.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and whenever we discuss the subject of Romantic Love the first love story that comes in our mind is Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet". We often forget the very first love story that was written is actually in the bible, which is the Love between Adam and Eve. If only it was written in details of how they fall in love and what they really said to each other, it would have been the most romantic story ever written. After all Adam loved Eve so much he was willing to eat the forbidden fruit that got him in so much trouble...This poem is my version of their love story, please share if you have one…Happy Valentine’s.

“The Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man he made it in to a woman and brought her to the man.” Genesis 2: 21-22
