Love helps us grow,
And reach the heights,
Of self-accomplishment…
And lends its sights,
On humanities betterment;
And future flights…
Of fancy.
New concepts…hopes,
Lift hearts and minds,
To the breadth of spacetime…
Reading the signs,
Of eternal reason and rhyme,
Which realigns…
Man…with God.

Nobody can help you.
Not her, not him, not me.
There is no one upon the earth,
Who can be there for you, fully.
Humans are mere mortals,
So don’t expect too much.
This life is simply a pathway,
To the next existence, as such.
No one has the answers,
Or can promise to stay.
For no one is given the choice,
To keep time from running astray.
Only God has answers,
And only He is there,
When everyone else goes away,
Only He will still see you, and care.
So sit with Him awhile,
And talk to Him of doubt.
Come to know that all will be well,
Within your spirit, and without.
Only God can help you.
Not her, not him, not me.
God is there…watching and waiting,
At the door of eternity.

Let me offer some hard-learned advice,
About struggle and sacrifice.
No matter how strong you are,
One day you will think twice,
And denounce every scar.
“Life is not worth living anymore”,
You will say…but you must endure!
For those few precious moments…
Of joyfulness…so pure.
Life’s in the experience,
So fight on with great valor!

I sat in the darkness,
All alone and unarmed.
For decades I cried,
While my soul was harmed.
No light could be seen,
From without or within,
‘Til I let go of the story,
That I’m born of man’s sin.
My soul then burst forth,
With the Light of God’s Love,
Radiant and Bright,
As I looked up above.
Humans kept me in dark,
And I’d be there still,
If I’d listened to their theories,
On God and His Will.
I went straight to the source,
And my soul lit the night.
I told the truth that I’d carried,
Knowing it was what was right.
Yes, I refused to stay,
Out of sight…Out of mind.
I am not a phantom,
For you to leave behind.
I am a human.
A child, just like you.
I’m a child of Light,
And so are you.
You do not belong here.
This place is not home.
This life is but struggle,
Yet, wherever you roam,
The Light is there…
For it is your own.

A new year has dawned,
O’er the Kingdom of Man,
In this age of great peril,
Where one does what one can,
To ward off evil,
And fortify the walls,
Of Truth, Light, and what is Right,
Against bespoken calls,
For dark to descend,
And snuff out divine Light,
From the spirits of all men,
And consume them in night.
Yet, no matter what,
Night will not ever win,
For Light, Goodness, and the Truth,
Always find a way in…
And radiate.
