Circular Patterns

Life is cyclical, like a circle

Interlocked and intertwining

The blessings, the lessons, and stressing

Go on and on until it’s gone

There is no rewinding

You see, time stops for no one, man, woman or child

We live, we learn, we lose, we earn

We cry and then we smile

Generational patterns are cyclical, like a circle

They can continue to repeat

Be created or recreated, changed, broken or ceased

Day by day we see these cycles because of the foundation you laid

Each one teach one in our village

Hard work will pave the way

I promise to continue to love you

To never ever forget how amazing, powerful, determined and strong you were and will be yet again

Now you are my guardian angel

As you have always been

Although you are no longer Earth side, you do get to meet God again

Thank you for loving me way before I loved or knew myself

You showed me what love was by caring for everyone else

All of the people around you feel happiness and love

A kind of strained peace, a deep disruption and a new connection to above

As you ascend on high, gain your wings and say hello to God

I will try to be strong for everyone but you know it’s a façade

You mean so much to me, you were such a big part of my life

Will life go on the same? No way!

One moment at a time

The pain is almost stifling

It hurts too much to cry

But thankfully you were blessed with many, many years

To influence our family’s generations, even humans who do not yet exist

You were, you are forever, always in my heart

The sounds of your voice, your sneeze, your laughter resound on in my mind

As I submerse into sadness, grief and a pithy, dark time

I am and will always be completely submerged and entwined

In your love, your memories, your legacy, your family for your family is mine.

I’ll hold the family down and always be me. Speak up for the voiceless and help my community.

I will strive to make you proud. Keep my head up, and make good choices.

You told me how and what a good human should be.

As you rest eternally in love and peace…

I will demonstrate to the world the good human you’ve made of me.

When someone you love passes on, it is natural to feel big emotions, intensely. The Lord is our Comfort and present help. The scriptures below may help you and your loved ones during this time of bereavement. May God continue to bless you always.

Psalms 116:15, Proverbs 16:9, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Jeremiah 29:11, Lamentations 3:25, 1 Thessalonians 4:17, 1 John 3:20, 2 Peter 3:8, Revelation 14:13

Faith

Faith is something that everyone needs

Faith in goals helps us succeed

If you try hard enough, you are destined to achieve

It is yours attainable and embellished if you believe

Faith is not hope, faith is not trust

Faith is not a desire, it’s required, a must

Believing in you is only step one

There are rules and regulations on how to become

The best you that you can possibly be

Education, inspiration and determination are key

You can only do so much alone

Think of faith as a skill to hone

The power to believe in more than yourself

To know that there are others around who can help

Not only will they boost your self-esteem

But make reality of your biggest, wildest dreams

A group of people on your side

People that you have filled with pride

Always remember, faith is essential

To reach your goals and full potential

So keep going, keep your head in the game

Don’t get hyped up by the riches and fame

Keep your cool and be patient on your path clear and straight

And you can define and redefine great
