Prayer

This is something that we should take seriously as Christians.

When did you last pray for your family?
When did you last pray for your friends?
When did you last pray for your relatives?
When did you last pray for your spouse?
When did you last pray for those who hate you?
When did you last pray for those you don’t like?
When did you last pray for peace?
When last did you pray for your country?
When did you last pray for your leaders?
When did you last pray?

My account

Slowly I’m discovering what this is all about
Slowly as I move with care
Slowly so that I do not loose even one glimpse of what there is
I’d like to see it all
I don’t want surprises
They can be nasty at times on this kind of trip
Trip you will many a time when you look not where you step
I’ve fallen one too many times before
Still I look where step but still I want to see what is around me
Why all this need?
An absence I thought was there actually prompted it
‘Thought’ as I’ve actually discovered that I don’t need it
It’s already there
Always has been
Problem is I wanted to replace it with someone else’s
Compliment is the word
How I got there I guess it was for me to learn and appreciate life more
So as I go down this road I look around and savour all there is
How I taste it all is up to me
My account is what matters
So slowly I move along this road
Come along if you may
I don’t need the company but there’s room for many
As long as you don’t mind, I’ll keep you company
But don’t expect much from me
This is for my account.

Caution

Last week I said to someone that somehow my verse was lost in thoughts
And true to a certain extent that was
I was overwhelmed
With what you may ask
With thoughts and emotions
It all would not have made any sense
My thoughts and emotions were in conflict
On one side this was definitely what I wanted
On the other not at all what I ever expected
How did I end up in such a situation?
I really don’t know
Maybe I lie when I say that
Lie I will not
I know how I got there
By being careless
I was carefree for once in my lifetime
I say once coz that’s just what I did
I’ve never done it
So I just let go
I let loose and that’s where I ended up at
Do I regret?
No!
I do not
Ok, maybe I should take off the exclamation mark
And tone it down
No, I do not regret
Given the same situation again I would have acted wiser and choosier
LOL
I think I wouldn’t
I’d have just done what I did and not regretted it afterwards
No debate
I was just at a loss for words
Now I’m fully armed and prepared
But deep down, I’m not 100% for this approach
Why?
I like spontaneity
Actually there’s a time I loved it and I toned down when I got my fingers burnt
So I proceed with care.
