A silly poem on B4

A child is bored

The child has thought

That somehow or not

She hasn't been caught

A child has grin

The widest beam

'Cuz somehow it seems

The winner's her team

A child struggles

As she mumbles

That why must others

Be such bothers

A child lies down

And hears some sounds

She learns to count

Then dreams around

A child is five

She must decide

Whether to cry

Or even sigh

A child can play

In the day

'Cuz it's May

And that's the way

King Jesus

Born in a stable

Laid in a manger

O, love infinite

And grace that sought me out

The King of glory, no sin to hide

There in the manger He lied

And left His glorious throne above

Gratefulness

Gratefulness at a meal table

Is like honey so dear

Just a word of thanks without mumbles

To the one who hears

Is like very precious pearls

My Shepherd

The Shepherd's calling,

Will you answer?

He saves the failing,

Indeed, He's near!

Oh, lift up your voice,

And call to Him;

He knows your toils,

Though it mayn't seem.

He wants to help,

Will you be still?

And let Him help,

Your sorrows heal?

He's just a prayer,

Away from you;

Cast all your cares,

Many and the few.

He knows your pain,

He sees your shame;

Prayer's not in vain,

Praise be His Name!

He'll lift you up,

And help you stand;

He'll with you sup,

Strong is His hand!

His Name is Jesus,

The Prince of Peace;

Son of Righteousness,

I am His!

Holy, faithful, and true,

Grace, mercy, and peace,

Last and the first,

That's who my Lord is!

Life's a speckle

To eternity;

When it's over,

Jesus I see!

Psalm 121 ~ Part II

When things don't work the way you'd plan

And you seem to look to man

Remember God is with you

And His promises too

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you are on the lurch

And might be singing a dirge

Remember Jesus comforts

And it's so according to His Word

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When things don't work the way you'd wish

And the outcome looks so swish

Remember God loves you

And alone can make us joyful

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When the skies are cloudy

And storms seem likely

Remember Jesus has calm a storm

And He controls all storms

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When things look bad

And you feel so sad

Remember you have a Father who cares

And will help you bear

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When your life's in pieces

And you've made it look useless

Remember Jesus died for you

And will guide you because He loves you

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you doubt His ability

And wonder if He truly loves you

Remember His Word is true

And He will love you all the way through

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

When you began to be able to see

And know His glory

Remember once again He has been with you

And His Word has never and will never ever fail you

That's why, "Don't look down-Look up!"

99 Balloons

99 BALLOONS

As seen on the Oprah show - Eliot was born with an undeveloped lung, a heart with a hole in it and DNA that placed faulty information into each and every cell of his body. However, that could not stop the living God from proclaiming Himself through this boy who never uttered a word. In the midst of heartbreaking tragedy, the Mooney family found the presence of God strengthening, comforting, and guiding them. Their story reminds us to seek God and endure our struggles rather than blame Him for our hardships.

Psalm 121 ~ Part I

This poem was written in August 2007 during one of uncle Dr. Kuan's valley periods. And I believe it is also relevant for each and everyone of us in our daily walk with the Lord.

When life seems hard

And things don't budge

When I am tired

And am so crumbled

Don't look down-Look up!

When I am afflicted

And am inflicted

When life's so unkind

And is not fine

Don't look down-Look up!

When I ask God, "Why?"

And just want to cry

When I feel abandoned

And feel so burned

Don't look down-Look up!

When everything begins to muddle

And I feel so unable

When I have plan it well

And so I want to yell

Don't look down-Look up!

When I am hopeless

And everything is useless

When I am distress

And laughters are rare

Don't look down-Look up!

When all is blur

And paths are not clear

When trouble is lurking

And I can't think

Don't look down-Look up!

Song: Run in Faith by YMIblogging

 
 
 
Words & Music By YMIblogging
 Did you ever feel that life is like a race
 A race that we are called to run in faith
 To strive to reach the end of the line
 Pressing toward the prize of life
 To take the crown of righteousness from Christ
 
But sometimes we falter and fail to stay the course
 Our feet grow weak we want to run no more
 Just remember the clouds of witnesses
 Praying and urging from above
 Surrounding us and cheering us to carry on
 
Fixing our eyes upon Jesus
 He’s the author of our faith
 Let us lay aside our sinful ways
 Cause He gave His life on the cross and bore our shame
 And grant to us His living grace
 
Let us run and not grow weary and lose heart
 Let nothing persuade nor hinder us to stop
 Let the Word of God abide in us
 Be our daily strength and be our guide
 Cause Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life

Blessed Father's Day

I wrote this poem in 2007 for our church's Father's Day Luncheon. Notice that the last 2 paragraphs are haiku with a syllable pattern of 1st line- 5, 2nd line- 7, 3rd line- 5. I've edited the last paragraph so it's a little different from when it was presented.

You were there when I was glad

You were with me when I was sad

You correct me when I was bad

Thank you very much, dad.

You taught me what was right

You guide me in what was right

You taught me everyday God's Word is right

Thank you very much, dad.

Thank you dear papa

I wouldn't be here today

Had it not been you

Keep on with it, pa

Three cheers pa, this special day

To my special dad.

River:My Life

Sometimes a day is like a storm,

Someday a ship is torn in shreds,

Sometimes a gusty wind blow,

Over big boulders and narrow canyons my water runs.

Sometimes not a wave in sight,

Someday here come I floating by,

Sometimes a gentle breeze past,

Over the waters my soul gently sway.

Jesus' Death and Resurrection

They chose a murderer

They killed a King

They'd rather have an evil doer

Than be led by a righteous King

They cast Him off

Even to the very last

His closest friends stood afar off

Yet He did not yield to the last

They whipped Him

And mocked Him

Till the skies dim

They refused to serve Him

Till on that cross

As Jesus died

The thief overwhelm by the love on the cross

With Him died

Till on that cross

When Jesus was pierced

The centurion looked upon the cross

And saw His loving face without a hatred fierce

That chaotic day

Ended with tears

His life He lay

To be painfully pierce

He gave His life

All because of love

To offer us eternal life

So that we may abide in His love

And on that third and glorious day

When the women came

His body in the grave no longer lay

For He has risen all the same

Jesus has risen

He rose for me

Our lives are turned

Because of the Light we now see

Jesus lives

He lives forevermore

And to everyone who believes

Live forevermore

Jesus ascended

He ascended to the Father

He took all our pain and hurts

And He's now with the Father

Jesus is returning

I know He's returning

Jesus is coming

I know for me He's coming

God's Handiwork

The handiwork of His hands

O, glorious is the sight

He made the sun to spin

So that all may see His might

Spinning and revolving

Giving light to all

An example of His love and light

So that all may hear His call

Today and Tomorrow

A thought for today

A plan for tomorrow

A dream of today

An achievement of tomorrow

The rush of the present

The peace of the future

The outcry of the present

The laughter of the future

The joy gain today

A destruction of the future

Oh, war of today

Oh, goodness of tomorrow

Each Day

Okay...all poems here are written by me unless stated otherwise. Hope ya'll enjoy! ;p

Each day a new thing to discover,

Each day a new thing to say;

When each day begins a golden circle,

We know it'll be a blessed day.

Each day we have a race to run,

Each day we have a battle to fight;

When each day we find new refreshing hope,

We'll walk with and not by sight.

Each day will never be the same,

Each day will contain vast differences;

When each day we see Jesus,

We'll rise above life's circumstances.

Each day will be a joy,

Each day a blessing God can use us through;

When each day ends with a glorious sunset,

Let's thank the Lord for all He's brought us through.

Each day we'll learn from each other,

Each day we'll learn to from our mistakes;

When each day we learn to forgive each other,

We'll also learn to give and take.
