An Open Letter To The Lord

Dear Lord,

We know that life is not always fair and pleasant but it’s still darn good. There are no instructions how to go about it but it’s okay. We all wakeย up each day to face the battle in this insular world, anyway. There are mornings when we get up, thinking that maybe life will not go the way we dreamed it. There are nights that we thought life is too much to bear. Many times, we failed and few times, we survived but it’s alright.

Life has been full of sufferings and pains but we survived because ย we learned how to stay strong through your guidance. Sometimes, life made us feel so lost and not sure where we are heading to. At times, we feel tired and disheartened and wonder if we should have even started the journey in the first place. There are no sure direction of the way because the map is not well- defined.

There are times we are looking for happiness and at times, we think life is unfair. We may ย readily agree with the statement that all men are equal. But we don’t have to live long before discovering that life treats some people better than us or others. Some people work so hard and remain poor while others are born to wealth or seem to get all the breaks. Some people enjoy good health, others don’t. Some people are begging for just a piece of bread to live. But this is something we have to understand and accept without resentment. When we look at others and see the unfairness of life, please teach us to always, always change our focus.

It’s true happiness is so elusive. Some of us always come to the world crying. They said being happy is the simplest thing in the world but that’s a lie. It’s hard for us to be ย happy and we often wonder why. We spent too much time begging for something and it torments us that we have never received what we were begging for. There are people who are so cruel breaking our hearts into pieces. People often squeezed us like lemons and we go through an excruciating pain. People are endlessly hurting us but please teach us toย include them in our prayers each night when we rest our head on our pillows. We don’t know what tomorrow may bring, teach us toย forgive and ย never, ever hold negative feelings in our hearts for too long.

Let us always remember that there is nothing permanent in this world. There is nothing precise. That what we have learned from the books we read each day is emotional. Love is not always easy, we know that. We cannot always make someone love us. But we will try to be the one who can be loved, in any way.

In this world where callous thoughtfulness and selfish indifference are all too common, teach us how to be more and more compassionate to others in a sense that could make our lives wonderful especially when motivated with your love. Let us find solace in our shortcomings when we look at them through the lens of self-acceptance. We need your guidance and strength. We know that ย we are under your powerful hands, show us your unfailing love each day that we may enjoy the moments of great joy and unimaginable sweetness of life. Give us your peace in the midst of our difficulties. Stretch our patience to enlarge our soul. Lord, give us a task we enjoy or a person whose company we love and could make time irrelevant.

We know that this journey of our lives requires strength, perseverance and inevitable struggles along the way, both within and without. For as long as we have your unfailing love for us, we will never give up no matter what.We will continue for a good fight.ย

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
