Absoulutes in Rhythmic Rhyme

Obstacles Can Be Blessings

So an obstacle has presented itself . . .
Boldface it stands in your way.
It’s risen before you defiantly,
Intending to ruin your day.

It can only succeed if you view it
Through hopelessness and despair.
So focus on how to sidestep its stance:
Don’t dwell on it’s being there!

Your perception determines its life span,
So, though it’s a huge stumbling block,
Don’t perceive it as permanent stone:
‘Cus it could be vanishing chalk!

For it will no longer be visible
If you have a new route’s view . . .
So bypass the thing and reach for your goal
Down a different avenue.

You see, obstacles aren’t just hindrances
Intended to cause you delays . . .
They serve as guides to additional maps
That outline some better ways.

So view the obstruction that’s in your path
As merely a detour sign.
In retrospect, when your goal is achieved,
You’ll see it was God’s design:

He sees the entire journey you’re on
From its beginning to end,
And uses diverse means to close wrong doors:
Obstacles are one of them.

So instead of letting this stop your stride,
Choose from options you’ve assessed . . .
Then surge ahead on the path you select
To find this was for the best!

Indescribable You

Somehow the word "special" isn’t enough
To describe who I know you to be.
The word "precious" is inadequate too,
Although you truly are that to me!

And the words "magnificent" and "great"
Only convey certain parts of you . . .
Just as "lovable" and "adorable"
Alone do you an injustice too!

Yes, the words "astute" and "intelligent"
Speak truth, but only state that you’re smart
And "dynamic," "impressive," "terrific"
All just display aspects of you in part.

There are also the words "admirable,"
"Amazing," "outstanding," "wonderful," "wise;"
Though they all can be linked together, they
Still can’t express who you are in my eyes!

Even in phrases, words don’t say enough!
Language is lacking that one needed word
Which will rightly portray "fabulous" you:
It hasn’t been formed yet, written, or heard.

So you’re summed up with a substitute word:
It’s one that omits all insightful view.
That word I phrase to define who you are
Is simply, the "indescribable" you!

Respectfully Yours

Dear God,
I’m taking time to write
To thank you for the day and night,
And all the pretty things I see
That you spoke forth and caused to be.

I want to thank you too, my Love,
For watching o’re me from above,
And making sure that things go right
For me throughout my earthly plight.

I know I’ve hurt you in the past,
But God, your love is unsurpassed!
You stayed around and waited there,
For me to let you show you care.

And now, sweet Lord, I see your light!
It shines before my face so bright!
I want to live with you on high
So God, I’ll never say "good-bye."

Instead I’ll rest within your love,
Then rise like Jesus up above
And spend eternity with you . . .
'Cus God, you’ll never make me blue.

Now it’s time to say "until,"
And God, I pledge to do your will.
Please keep me safe from Satan’s wild?
I love you God!
Your Grateful Child
