SCRIPTURES

         "SCRIPTURES"


Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
I keep my solemn promise,
To obey your commandments.


People are no more enduring than grass.
Grass withers and flowers fade,
But the Word of God endures forever.


Your Word, O Lord, will last forever,
It is eternal in heaven.
If your law is not the source of our joy,
We will die from our sufferings.


We will never neglect your commandments.
Because by them you have kept us alive.
We will meditate on your law. 


The Word of God is alive and active,
Sharper than two-edged sword.
It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet,
To where joints and marrow come together. 


Everything written in the Scriptures,
Was written to teach us,
In order that we might have hope,
Through the patience and encouragement,
Which the Scriptures give us.

FRIENDSHIP

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is like an eagle’s wings,

That carries one another to the highest mountain.

Flies to the shining and rising sun,

That above all landscape and native land.

Soars beyond imagination and dream,

That has no more frustration and problem.

Friendship is like a boat and ship,

That brings and keeps both safe,

To a journey of formidable ocean,

Where the monstrous sharks and fishes shun,

And goes to the deepest of the sea,

Where no one can able us to see.

Friendship is like a lamplight,

That brightens the awful night,

Of this disastrous and penurious life.

It finds and views hope for the sight,

To walk through the path and footsteps right,

And to make the darkest hour’s bright.

Friendship is like a book,

That the scholars read and look.

It secures divine knowledge and wisdom,

To refrain from lonesome and boredom.

It endows intelligent information,

And bestows brilliant education.

Friendship is like a tree,

That supplies fruits for free.

It gives shade to the lowly,

And provides a resting place to stay.

It protects from the heat of the sunlight,

To remain calm and might.

How wonderful is the friendship?

Of these great characteristics,

Of a real and selfless friendship,

Even for death, it’s willing to take risk,

For this unfathomable relationship,

Of such an endless and deathless friendship.

SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

Stars and moon in the sky dance

As you bloom your innate fragrance.

Roar of the animals in the farm

Inspired by your beauty and charm.

Creatures of this earth bow down

As you walk around the town.

River flows gaily into the sea

Vast ocean of Pacific waves calmly.

Inheritance of goddess Venus’ glamour

Suitable for you to be the splendor.

Absolutely you possess remarkable intelligence

Yield by your hardwork and diligence.

You’re the greatest gift of this world

Satiation of this hungry world.

LITTLE FLOWER

LITTLE FLOWER

Mother Earth, we praise you,

Little flower blooms because of you.

Charm and beauty it possesses,

Heart and soul it brings happiness.

Exemplary for uprightness and goodness,

Life becomes many-splendored mysteries.

Leaves adore before its presence,

Mankind fascinated with its florescence.

Thorns of the plants cannot hurt it,

Arrogant animals kneel down before it.

Creeks and rivers wave their hands,

Angels look and smile at our land.

No creature excels with little flower,

God is the only creator and maker.

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

One man living in this earth

Who is suffering since birth 

He is a man of vices

And his trials never ceases.

One time he talked to his dear God

A distance long from high above

About all his shortcomings on earth

Which he experienced since birth.

Where are you Lord during my sickness,

In times of my defeat and my difficulties?

Where are you Lord during my sadness,

In times of my sinfulness and my anxieties?

Where are you Lord during my great humiliation,

In times of my frustration and my prosecution?

Where are you Lord during my poverty,

In times of my fear and my misery?

God replied, "My son, my beloved son,

How I waited this day that you'll tell me,

All your doubts and grudges against me,

Just ask, pray, and believe me my son."

"Do not worry for all your endeavors,

I will open all your closed doors,

And remove all your burden,

As well as all your life's problem."

The man cried and worshiped his dear God

And said "I will adore you from above,

From now on you're my Almighty God,

And I will praise your name from above."

LIFE'S TEST

"LIFE'S TEST"

Life is full of tests

And so many lapses

We should do our best

And live life to the fullest.

Only a coward will escape

In times of defeat

But the drastic will fight for it

Even unto death.

A man of dread certainly fails

But a man of courage surely succeeds.
