I say to self, “no one I miss”

Nothing and no one bring me joy like you
Not the sun, star or moon
Not the trees, seas or bloom
Not the hot, cold or warm
Not the guys, gals or pals
Although each do their part equally
They my DEAR can’t compare
YOU are unique and absolute in every way
YOU excel all

Mine is the sun, mine are the clouds
Mine is the sky above overhang, yet
My soul is committed to boredom
Mine is the sea, mine is the moon
Mine are the creatures great and small but
My soul is committed to boredom
Mine is all good things, mine is all bad
Mine are the likes and dislikes where
My soul is committed to boredom
Mine are you? Mine am I!
Mine is all we pretended to be, hence
My soul is committed to boredom
My soul is committed to boredom
‘Tis an art which I’ve chosen to be not as all want yet be all they wish

As dawn meets with the morning
As dew moistens the grass
As sun shines in midday
As snow melts on the cheek
As wet rain embraces dry ground
As wind rushes in to break the heat
Not because a man is worthy of another but
Because of the Lamb’s Sacrifice
I Love You

GOD: Because He created heavens as His crown, the world as His footstool and we’re the people. He’s given us the freedom to choose between good and evil. In other words, the right to our own decision. At the same time, He keeps an eye out for us so that we don’t get into trouble. He reminds us that He’s the Vine and we’re the Branches.
LOVE: Because that’s God’s power. It’s a hidden treasure that we have inside but doesn’t know how to exercise it quite right. He wants us to know that He loves us. And wants us to share that love with nature as He has shared it with us.
MUSIC: Because that’s the tune which brings out God’s greatness and love’s melody. It’s Gods way of putting nature into hymns. It’s the beat that makes you want to go with the flow. It’s our love for one another.

When thou hast seeneth beauty
Smelleth freedom
Felt nature
Heard silence
And tasteth life
‘Tis then that thou hath liveth a full life
Unless thou hath done these things
Life for ye hath just begun

The fish is born in the sea yet it’s not salty! The coconut bud on the tree and has sweet water! Can’t eat okra with one finger! The sea is low but no one can just step over it. The sky always hangs over head, no poles hold it! Lightning strikes during a storm but no one can find the current flow or where the plug is! The earth can’t drink all the sea water without God’s command. The oceans can’t drown the earth without His say so! Do whatever you want you can’t hold time in your hand to have or control it forever. The fruit is gently wrapped, some skin are eaten others discarded. God is such a gentleman, He knows how to tend to His own. He needs NO ONE’S help, if He includes you in it consider yourself blessed. He created the whole world and everything in it without help, your cases are but child’s play to His MIGHTY POWER! His signature is everywhere! Life is full of mysteries, they scream out I AM THE GOD THAT LOVES YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE! OPEN YOUR HEART AND RECEIVE GOD’S LOVE WHILE THERE’S TIME.
TRANSLATION:
Pwason fèt nan lanmè min li pa salé. Kokoyé boujonnin sou pyé bwa épi li gin dlo dous anndan l. Paka manjé kalalou ak yon dwèt. Lanmè a ba min pèsonn paka annik janbé l. Syèl la toujou pandyé anlè tèt nou, pagin poto ki kinbé l. Éklè pati pandan mové tan min pèsònn paka jwenn koté kouran an pasé nitou kot plòg la yé. Tè a paka bwè tout dlo lanmè san pèmisyon Bondyé. Dlo lanmè yo paka anglouti tout tè a si Bondyé pa ba yo lòd fè sa! Ou mèt fè sa w vlé ou paka kinbé lè nan min w pou w ginyin l ni kontwolé l pou tout tan. Fwi a vlopé ak prékosyon, gin po ou ka manjé gin lòt ou jété. Bondyé tèlman c yon nonm debyin, li konn kòman pou l pran swen moun li. Li pa bezwen PÈSÒNN pou édé l, si w wè l inklu ou nan yon bagay konsidéré w yon moun béni. Li t fè tout mond lan antyé ak tou sak ladann san èd pèsònn, ka pa w yo c jwèt timoun pou GWO POUVWA li. Siyatu l tout koté. Lavi a ranpli ak yon pakèt bagay mystè épi tout ap di byin fò MW C BONDYÉ KI RINMIN NOU AK YON AMOU KI PAP FINI! OUVRI KÈ W RESEVWA LANMOU BONDYÉ PANDAN GIN TAN TOUJOU.
