Lighting Your Way

If i was one thing, I’d be a candle

Lighting the way so you can handle

Your life easier without woes

Not having to fight with your foes

I'd help keep you from stumbling over

Things blocking your path to an open door

If i light your path, life is easier

Even strong winds, my light will not deter

No matter what, I’m here for you

To cheer you up when you are blue

Do not fret when times get tough

If things look down or kind of rough

Just remember, I’m always here

In your heart, close and near

I will help you out in every way

Happiness and love in your heart will stay

Don't blow me out, that's one request

Unless it's me you do detest

I do not try to hurt anyone

That isn't good or any fun

But one day you may leave me behind

You may no longer need my light to shine

If that day comes, go on your way

And i will hope to see you again someday

If one day, i didn't appear

Do not worry, do not fear

I may be gone, but in your heart

The light i gave you did not depart

It will be there forever and a day

To always bring happiness and light your way

Farewell for now, I’m needed elsewhere

If your path grows dark, in your heart isn’t there

So I’m really not gone, just not seen

I would not leave, I’m not that mean

Only one simple request that i must say

Please, never forget those who light your way

The Candle

Someone give me a candle

That’s lighten up my burden to handle

No matter, how dark is the ground?

It leads your way unbound

Even how dark your path you follow

It gives you time to glow

Even the light is almost to decline

He wasn’t give up and leads you behind

Sometimes you ask to surrender

But the candle gives you an answer

That keeps you reminds your almost there

To gives you joy and until you bear

I told you that I always here

My heart is always close to you and care

To bring you joy and happiness so clear

Just a simple request, I make you my guest

Because you are my candle

You give me hope and lighten my life

Thanks for lessen the burden in me

You bring me joy and set me free

All I Want is You

You are my treasure

You are my strength

You are my inspiration

You are my light

In every step of my life i think of you

In everything i do, i offer it to you

In every minute passes by, I’m longing for you

In every day, wanting to be with you

How i wish to be at your side

How i wish to hug you tight

How i wish to hold you close to my heart

How i wish to kiss and whisper you good night

You are the gift from god

You are the happiness of my life

You are all that i have

You're all that i want

I maybe out of your sight

But you would never be out of my life

I maybe out of reach

But you would never be out of my heart

I would never forget you

I would never abandon you

I would never forsake you

I would never reject you

All i want is to be with you

All I want is to see you

All i want is to spend time with you

All i want is you

Sugar

Life is like having a cup of coffee.... You sit by the window, lift the cup and take a sip only to realize that somebody had forgotten to put sugar...

Too lazy to go for it, you somehow struggle through that sugarless taste 'till you realized undesolved sugar crystals at the bottom.

That's how life is.... We sometimes forget to make an effort to value what is around us....

Look around, maybe the sweetness your looking for is closer than you think.... Flash a SMILE HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE...

Foundation

If i buy a cookbook and memorize all that is in it, can i call myself a good cook? Obviously not. For whether i am a good cook or not does not depend on my memorizing the contents of a cookbook but on how i can declared delicious by somebody else.

A good house cannot be judge simply by its appearance but also by whether it can withstand the forces of nature like typhoons and earthwakes or whether it will be washed away by a flood. Thus the FOUNDATION is a very important part of the house.

In same manner, even if we memorize the Bible in its entirely, we may call ourselves someone with a gift of memorizing things, or perhaps someone might even call us Genious. But we cannot consider ourself a good Christians by the mere fact that we are familiar with the bible or have memorize it.

The proof of our faith will be truly seen in the works that we do. As paul says "i shall show you my faith by my works" (james 2:18). This is the FOUNDATION that will withstand. This is the FOUNDATION laid on rock. But a FOUNDATION that is built on rock implies hard work. The person who built sand sought the easy way to built a house. Easily built, easily destroy.

We need to dig deep into the ground to have a STRONG FOUNDATION and digging deeply implies hard work. Our faith is liken to that. If we live according to selected teaching only because we find such teaching to be easy, it will also be easy to distance ourselves from JEHOVAH GOD. But if through hard work, through patience and perseverance we strive to strengthen our faith, then we can withstand the storms that come and stand firm in our belief that JEHOVAH GOD is with us. This is where commitments to our faith comes in.

Doing what Jesus says is the STRONG FOUNDATION with which the tree of faith will spring forth, and from that tree will come abundance of PEACE.

PLEA

We’re in a world so busy

People running everywhere.

Forever looking at our watches

Our minds racing with cares.

We never see that lonely man

Sitting on the street.

We don’t even notice that hungry lady

Struggling in the heat.

Children so needy

Filled with despair.

An old grandma rocking sadly

And no one cares.

We must remember

Jesus left us with a plea…

“You did unto the least of these

my brother, you did it unto me.”

So what about you?

What about me?

What about the lonely man

Sitting on the street?

Will you reach out

Without a shadow of doubt?

Will you love the least of these

And fulfill Jesus’ plea?

A smile for the lonely man sitting on the street.

A bit of food for the hungry lady struggling in the heat.

A hug for the children so full of despair.

A cheery voice for the old Grandma in the rocking chair.

This seems so simple

Such an easy thing to do.

Let’s reach out for the least of these

And for Jesus too.

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

• There comes a time when you must stand alone
• You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dream
• You must be willing to make sacrifices
• You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved
• Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged
• There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities
• Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better
• Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by
• Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop and find your true sense of purpose in this life
• Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way

Heart and Minds

The heart speaks better than mind

When it fall in-love they never mind

Because I feel that tender love is blind

Then times will come were bless and bind

You are true that you speak better than me

Because you can feel the instinct you may

You wasn’t see the presence of me

When your love fails you seek the advice from me

You wasn’t know true love is true

Because I feel it makes me blue

This is the time I want the conclusion from you

You keep me answer you didn't know

Your love is fake that makes you break

That keep you seek true love is great

Makes you say, time will come I found the one

The heartaches of yours I have the answer key

When you fall in-love, you have to think twice

That no back tracks to keeps you realize

That heart and minds will give you prize

 A true love ends won’t give you sacrifice

THE RISK OF LOVE

There is a risk involved in everything

Everytime you share a smile

Everytime you shed your tear

You are opening yourself up to hurt you

Some people trend slowly through life,

Avoiding the closeness risk brings,

Sidestepping the things they cannot understand

Turning away from those who care too much

Those who care stay too long, those who hold to tightly

There is never an easy way to love

You cannot approach it cautiously

It will not wait for you to arm yourself

It does not care if you turn away

It is everywhere, it is everything

Love is the greatest of all risk

Even in the best of times, love hurts

It hurts to need, it hurts to belong

It hurts to be the other part of someone else,

Without either of your consent

But, from the moment it overtakes you

It hurts worse to be all alone

The risk of love never depletes

It grows stronger and more dangerous with time

But, it is in the total surrender of all defenses

That’s we, no matter weak or strong

No matter willing or captive

No matter what, we truly experience love

Despite the many things love is not,

Outweighing it all are the things that love is,

Love is surrender without a loss

It is a gift without a cost

It consumes your every thoughts and desires

Every breath you take

It is the fire that fuels you

To do more than pass through life

It urges you, to live

No matter the outcome, having felt love

You will never be the same

It scar your heart and soul

And leave you only memories forever

Or, it may cause every day of your life

To feel like there is no need for tomorrow

But, love is worth it, it is worth the risk...

For all of life,

Love........is truly the only risk worth taking.

Gratitude

I'm grateful for the many days when clarity is strong

As well as those it seems that life has somehow led me wrong

For it's those times that awaken me & nudge me towards light

Till once again my hopes and dreams are clearly held in sight

I'm grateful for the love within the circles that I dwell

My family, friends and even those who've made my life seem like hell

For each of those have taught me more regarding how to love

Provide me feelings to express these things that I have

I am grateful for the right to dream, to hope, to wish

And to know that all my thoughts are merely seeds which based on love must grow

That if I’ll think them consciously and nurture them with care

These vision held, my heart desires, will soon be waiting there

I'm grateful for the fact I’ve learned that we consciously create

That they to mold and shape a life desired I must keep thinking straight

That when the fear that shows it's head which is based on false belief

I have free will to change the thoughts to those that brings relief

I'm grateful too for false belief which led me on my quest

For mentors met along the way, I truly feel blessed who clearly

Showed me of the need to understand my worth and higher truth

Which promises a life divine on earth?

I'm grateful for the fear I feel sometimes

Because I know that when its felt purging power exists

To help me grow the awareness of its presence shows there's something

More to learn that’s my focus must stay fixed on love to attract those things yearn

I'm grateful for the joy I feel, I’m grateful for the fear

Of understanding what is it that draws me near to the life

I know is waiting on the other side

And when it comes I must hold fast and use it as a guide

My gratitude goes deeper still, for breath, for sight

For the life for teachers who have shown me that my thoughts create my strife

I'm grateful for the plan which says whatever you receive

Is drawn to you through feelings felt created by belief

I'm grateful for all nature, the birds, the grass, and the trees

The lakes which hold abundant life, a summer evening breeze

The clouds above the ground below, the moon, the stars

The sun the days and nights which represent that another day is done

I'm grateful for the time to spend too deeply, go within

To top into the source of truth that’s sure to help me win

For it is there that truth comes known regardless what is taught

In manmade circles of world that form restrictive thought

I'm grateful for all my friends who are reading this today

For the bonds that we have formed since your path have crossed my way

And for the future and all it brings for all we have share

The giving of ourselves to show the world how much we care

I've learned to stay in gratitude no matter how things seem

That perceptions held as negatives will only slow your dream

So even though my path will lead through troubled spots

I know, I must keep on, keep focus fixed, on life's abundant flow

There's so much that I’m grateful for, though sometimes

I'll forget, belief rekindled from the past that perceive as threat

But it's these times I must remind myself of what I know

That when they show their presence, that they're here to help me grow

One final thought I’ll share today before I say I’m through

I'm so grateful for this word to give today to all of you

It is my wish that they will help you keep the attitude

Which leads you desire, and comes through gratitude

Sometimes

Sometimes we see things that aren't meant to be seen

Sometimes things aren't always as they seem

Sometimes we need someone to call our own

Especially when we're alone

Sometimes people just can't understand

Why things get out of hand

Sometimes life just isn't fair

Especially when people just don't care

And sometimes it's hard to say

Why things have to be this way

Sometimes it's all you can do to get by

Especially when dream continue to die

Sometimes it's nice to sit in the rain

Even to just relieve the pain

And when we've had a really bad day

Sometimes we just need to go away

We never know what's wrong without pain

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right are the same

And sometimes when people get hurt

Even the strongest ones may need comfort

Thinking Concept

"A good concept will bring an individual into a reason, a good reason will bring to reality"

By: Erikho Obido

Difference and Extraordernary

"If you are in a one side you feel the difference, but you are in both sides you are extraordinary."

True Love

"To give Love is to attract opposite sex, but true love is Unexplainable innermost feeling."

Love Story

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings and emotions lived. Happiness, sadness, knowledge and all the others include love. However one day, it was announced to the couples that the island would sink. So all are prepared their

Boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to stay until it started sinking; he decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by love in a beautiful boat.Love said, richness, can you take me with you?

Richness answered, no, I can't..... There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat, there is no place for you. Love decided to ask vanity who was passing by, vanity, please help me! I can't help you love.

You are all wet and can probably damage my boat, vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so love asked for help, sadness, let me go with you. Oh...... love, I am so sad that I want to go alone.

Happiness pass by love, but she was too happy that she did not listen when love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice, come love, I will take you. It was an elder

Love becomes so happy that he even forgot to ask the name of the elder. When they

Arrived at the other side, love asked knowledge, who was the elder who helped me?

Knowledge replied it was time. Time said love.

But why did time help me? Knowledge answered: because only time is capable of understanding how great love is”

True chistmas

Once in your life you have been someone

That's live your life that's nobody can

Your truly love i know it is pure

But they  leaves you as uncure

They wasn't know that you are true

Even tough they praises you

They doubted that they believe in you

Because thier dream was not come true

The true love you had share apart

To someone that needed much

Will bring life and that's lighten up

To no one who nevers give up

The one who bless that trully cares

That really know he is there

To anyone who really accept christ

Can experience truely christmas in thier heart

Compose by: Erikho Obido

I WONDER WHY

Sometimes just wondering why?

I can't understand the feelings I felt deep inside

Inspite of all the love that I receive

My heart feels emptiness with in itself

I wish I could express how i felt today

Longing for your tender cares

And sweet voice likes melody to my ears

Dreaming to be with you and forever we will stay

Take my hand and don't let it go

Hold it tight and lead it to your heart

Wrap me up with your loving care

And let me feel that you are there

GOOD BYE MY DEAREST FRIENDS

The hardest part of any friendship

Is when it is time to say goodbye

And even though I wished I could stay

I know I got to go and spread my wings and fly

For life is a journey that needs to be travelled

And I am certain you'd make it through

I just want you to know and never forget

That I will surely miss you

So follow your heart and never give up

As dreams and wishes do come true

For I know that someday we'll meet again

So never forget I will be praying for you
