Beautiful Rockets and Explosions

Rumi: Say I Am You (Sufi poem)

"Hope" is the thing with feathers

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Luck- Friday the Thirteenth

Luck is what you make it.
Faith is what you believe.
Joy is what you make of it.
Sorrow is what we all go through
Bad luck is what you choose to believe in.

Making good choices in life is what is right.


Faith is powerful.

The People You Need

God doesn't give you the people you want,

He gives you the people you NEED

To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you

and to make you into the beautiful person you were meant to be.

NEW School prayer( not really) WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. Old SCHOOL KID

Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And
The Lord's Prayer
Are not allowed in most
Public schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned...
A kid in Arizona wrote


Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
From A kid in Arizona-(Even if you do not agree. This is powerful coming from a kid. Let God in the door.)

All That is Gold Does Not Glitter

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

To my Stepfather for giving such a wonderful gift to my son

Ballad Of Mary's Son by Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967)




Ballad Of Mary's Son

It was in the Spring,
The Passover had come.
There was fasting in the streets and joy.
But an awful thing---
Men who knew not what they did
Killed Mary's Boy.

He was Mary's Son
And the Son of God was He---
Sent to bring the whole world joy.
There were some who could not hear,
And some were filled with fear--
So they built a Cross
For Mary's Boy.

To His Twelve Disciples
He gave them of his bread.
He gave them to drink of His wine.
This is my body
And this is my blood, He said.
My cross for you
Will be a sign.

He went into the garden
And he knelt there to pray.
He said, Oh, Lord, Thy will be done!
The soldiers came
And took my lord away.
They made a cross
For Mary's Son.

This is my body
And this is my blood!
His body and His blood divine!
He dies on the Cross
That my soul should not be lost.

His body and his blood
Redeem mine.
