THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN: FINDING JOY IN THE PRESENT.

In stillness, the world begins to breathe
Moments once blurred now softly seethe
The ticking clock no longer chases
Peace arrives in silent places
Life reveals its hidden crown.

Beneath the noise, the soul takes flight
Unrushed by dawn, unbound by night
No finish line, no race to run
Just open skies and morning sun
A chance to lay all burdens down.

The laughter lives in fleeting seconds
Joy not in what time beckons
In every breath, a sacred gift
In every pause, the soul can lift
Above the rush, beyond the sound.

So slow your steps and raise your eyes
The present holds the truest prize
Let go of what the future steals
And feel the grace the moment yields
For now is where the heart is found.

NATURE’S PEACE

The siren environment
The beautiful landscape
The atmospheric habitats
The serenate everything that we see
Nature’s peace
 
The beautiful colours
That adds beauty in uniformity
The one colour beauty from trees
Just a green land evolving all the places
Nature’s peace
 
So silent in its form
Purest as the spring of water fall
The harmonious song of the bird at dawn
That challenges the earthly orchestral
Nature’s peace
 
From the aural of great scent
That captures every smell
Strangers afar and those in the homeland
Everyone attest to nature’s peace
Nature’s peace
 
Little wonder many escape
To a destination they seems to call vacation
To have some nice time with nature
Escaping from the sounds and noise in the town
To a solitary place just to be alone immersing
 
Themselves in the noiseless environment
That nature got to offer
Away from the sounds of the crowd
In the city so filled with activities of all sorts
Nature’s peace
 
There is no peace like that
It comes with a feeling so unexplainable
Is unbreakable such a feeling
That feeling of relaxation of body, soul and mind
Nature’s peace
 
A natural therapy to the mankind
The gentle breeze that fans away
Stress, worries and anxiety
And refresh us back to life in better form
Nature’s peace.

OWN YOUR OWN HAPPINESS

In life you have to come to that point
In you own your own happiness
By taking it away from other people
They are not going to make you happy
You have to own as you own your life
 
Your kids won’t make you happy
Your spouse are not going to make you happy
Big house wanna make you happy
Own your own happiness
Be responsible for doing all those things
 
That brings joy to your own heart
Independently life and people
And money all that stuff it
Doesn’t necessarily bring you happiness
You have to take responsibility
 
Of that peace and joy
That lives inside of your heart
And not inside your stuff.

1st KEY TO HAPPINESS

GROWING OLD

Life comes in different phase
Our life is made of events and situations
That shapes our living as we go through this journey of life
Leaving us with the experience of it all
And life still goes on and on

Some certain things has to be kept away
And just let it all go laying low
As the sleeping dog that falls asleep
Tomorrow is but never a sight away anymore
You just look back and see life is past spent

Tomorrow is never but a sight far anymore
You just realize that life is nothing
Because we cannot just continue to be this way
We must let it all go out and be in the moment
Growing old

There comes a time
You just have to let somethings pass
Just as if you don’t see anything
Just to carve that peace of mind you want for yourself
Because there is nothing like living a peaceful life

Certain habits had to let go from you
Certain lifestyles has to just be imbedded and stop
Certain activities have to be quit and just you you’re real self
People will get to notice but questions we spring up
Growing old

Comes with a certain outlook towards life
That you see life just like a piece of paper
So light and so empty void of nothing
Because we came into this space called life
And empty we leave when time comes to call it a day with life is

So coming to this later stage of life
The mist of our eyes becomes so dim
As we cast deaf ears to some certain things of life
Just letting it all out and let it go like the sleep of the night
Growing old

Is a time to be more careful
Chasing what brings us inner and outer peace
Taking off every toxic negative and bad vibe
Because is better to be at peace within and without
Growing old

You take off your eyes from things that doesn’t matter
You take off your attention to time wasting event
You just want to find real love and real peace within you
Growing old a moment of sober reflection and letting go

INNER PEACE

The wind whistles past my ears
Closing my eyes, I lose all my fears
The waves crash into the rocks
Out here there is no time on my clock.

The serenity I feel here
Just soothes my mind
A peaceful day so hard to find
The breeze just calms my soul
Helps me think about
What is my life's goal

I then look out over the ocean
And it feels like my life
Has lost its commotion
The sun sets down over the clouds
But the orange glow
Around makes me proud

As the night draws near
I feel like where I need to be is here
The soothing nature this afternoon brings
Just feels like such a beautiful thing

I sit and wonder where life will go
But right now all I want
Is for time to slow
To enjoy this moment and feel free
To clear my mind and find some glee

It's days like these I truly treasure
Amazing nights and beautiful weather
It may not seem like much
But it's moments like these
I want to clutch

For once I feel like life is bliss.
So many hard days
In which my happiness was missed
I could get lost listening to the waves.
Listening to the birds
And watching how the clouds behave

I could close my eyes
And fade into the night
The tranquility I feel
Helps me win the fight
As the waves keep
Crashing into the rocks
I feel the happiness
In my heart become unlocked

The day is drawing to a close.
The peacefulness I feel
Right now I'll only know.
Right now my mind is finally clear.
It's time to go as the night draws near

DON’T GIVE AWAY YOUR POWER

Every day we have plenty opportunities
To be upset, to be frustrated and to be offended
Maybe the day’s plans didn’t work out
Or somebody was rude at the office
Or a job that should have taken one hour too three

Life is full of insolvencies
There will always be interruptions and difficult people
We can’t control all our circumstances
But we can control our reactions
Don’t give away your power

Life is ten percent of what happens to you
And ninety percent how you respond
Go into each day positive, helpful and expecting Gods favour
But at sometimes be realistic
Knowing that most days won’t go exactly as you planned

If you become stressed because you are off scheduled
Frustrated because someone offended you
Or upset because your child wouldn’t eat breakfast
You are giving away your power

It’s good to have a plan
But at first part of everyday submit to God and just say
God this is what I would like to accomplish today
But I know you’re in control
So I submit my plans to you

And I’ve decided in advance
That no matter what comes my way
I will stay in peace knowing you are directing my steps
And that all things will work together for my good

But too many people these days
Have the wrong approach to life
They think they can’t be happy unless
They control all their circumstances and everything goes their way
But that’s not realistic you have to come to the place where you can say

I don’t have to have my way to have a good day
My plans don’t have to work for me to be happy
Everybody doesn’t have to treat me right for life to be enjoyable

HOME LIKE NO OTHER

In the midst of unseemly relationship
In the midst of unfriendly affiliations
In the midst of hates and deceptiveness
In the midst of the troubles of life
Found peace of heart, soul and mind in the presence of God

Where the family I belong
So strong and loving
In pure heart and clean soul
With peacefulness and nice coexistence
Home like no other

A home that’s like no other
Full of mercy, love and grace
And though it’s been a long time
I’ve never felt that far
Cause you were always on my mind
And you were always in my heart

So is good to be home
Where I know that I belong
Inside this house of love with a family so strong
And I’m here to worship and pour out my offering
In the presence of His love I’m never alone

And by faith we believe
And proclaim our deepest love
To give our everything
To a glow beyond us and when it’s cold outside
It’s always warm right here it’s good to be home
