FACING FEARS

(by Cecile Cinco)

It’s not that I will lack some food

Or roof above my head,

I know that God is always good

He’ll provide my needs instead.

It’s not that I will die so soon

Or any in my family,

If God thinks my stay is done

Then let His will, be.

It’s not even the pull of the Devil

For me to lose my crown,

As long as I stay with Christ

Those will not put me down.

Now that I realize

What my fears are not,

It’s easier to face my fears

And do the tasks I’ve got.

When I do, I’ll teach my heart

To focus on the goal,

There should be no turning back

The fears should end, it’s my call.

REACHING FOR THE GOAL

(by Cecile Cinco)

How far is it to reach your goal,

How often did you stumble and fall?

Were you discouraged at all,

When told all you got is gall?

How many tears have you shed,

Tears that have wet your bed?

How many aches did your heart take,

Hearing hurtful words that break?

How do you make the world go spinning,

Despite the negativity showering?

If you believe your goal is worth it,

Regardless if it’s a difficult feat;

Then don’t lose sight of your goal,

Focus and plan and give your all.

You don’t have to take giant leaps,

Even a baby starts with small steps.

Listen to what others may say,

But don’t let pessimism end your day.

In the multitude there is safety,

Weigh your actions, even briefly.

If your goal is God’s will,

You have a role to fulfill;

Make Him your partner,

You’ll sure be a winner.

(Spontaneously written just now as I thought I have to add a new post now instead of later.)

I was at the table,

Eraser in my left hand,

Pencil in my right,

Drawing book under.

Thinking I’ll be able,

To doodle something grand,

When I screamed at the sight,

Of a mouse below me, “FLYPAPER!”
