LOVE COMES TO THOSE WHO LOVE

LOVE COMES TO
THOSE WHO LOVE


Love comes to those who love, who find their joy
In others’ joy, their tears in others’ tears.
Those in need receive the gifts that buoy
Them through the misspent yearnings of their years.

Weakness is a strength, and power none,
For none has power to compel affection.
Passion to the self-consumed may come,
But love looks for the grace of its reflection.

Love is like a tide that comes and goes,
And comes and goes according to the moon,
Giving and receiving as it flows
Between high headlands weathered and rough-hewn.

For love becomes itself the cause of love,
A double-knot not easy to remove.

MY HEAVEN ON EARTH



MY HEAVEN ON EARTH
Fundamental elements of which not to miss
The strong and real keys to my life’s bliss
To overwhelm my heart with joy
To make my livelihood worth to enjoy
These are my real “heaven on earth”
An Imaginary picture of heaven

“Trust in the lord with all your heart, lean not on our own understanding”

Getting daily at least something for consumption
From fauna and flora’s grand gifts of creation
Everything that can strengthen my physicality
And all that can enhance my body’s immunity
But adhering to Godly principles of health
Can be my daily physical heaven on earth

A splendid halcyon shelter for me to live
Can be another perfect reason for being alive
A shelter situated in a beautiful environment
Can be a good source for my heart’s merriment
A shelter to be my daily retiring den
Can be my true earthly Garden of Eden

“Blessed are they who clothe themselves with good deeds of righteousness”

A covering for my nakedness I always wish to have
Those able to honor my God of the heavens above
To ever cover my body with something adorable
And in every circumstance to appear presentable
Always be on something befitting the occasion
While being on something befitting the season

How good it is being useful in the vast humanity
And offer services to all as per my ability
To be able to fulfill all my earthly ambitions
With a career of fundamentality amongst nations
With my talents to make the earth a better place to live
With my abilities to enhance the standards of human race

“He who finds a wife finds what is good, and receives favor from Jehovah” (Proverbs 18:22)

Another fundamental thing of which not to miss
A special and unique experience of matrimonial bliss
Deep in my heart and soul to experience nuptial joy
With my heartily pretty miss whose company is worth to enjoy
To really enjoy a matrimony founded by true love
Matrimonial harmony acknowledged by “Heavens of above”
“A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown
But a disgraceful wife is like a decay in his bones”
(Proverbs 12:4, Proverbs 31:10 – 31)

Living to see sweet fruits of my holy marriage
And rearing them up to their productive age
Shall overwhelm my tender heart with true bliss
Also a heavenly gift I really wouldn’t like to miss
Is living to be crowned with grandfatherness
A true source of holy matrimonial happiness
“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children” Proverbs 17:6)

Living in harmony with all people in the society
This is a good security during times of adversity
And also a real heaven on earth

“Grey hair is a crown of splendor, it is attained by a righteous life” (Proverbs 16:31)
Living my earthly years to their fullness
This is also a good source of life’s happiness
“The length of our days is seventy years, or eighty if we have the strength.
Yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass,
And we fly away” (Psalms 90:10)
And that is the perfect heaven on earth
Of which its perfect destiny is death!

“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21)
Heaven on earth is a place of both joy and sorrow
It is even much useless boasting about tomorrow
“A poor man’s field may produce abundant food
But injustice sweeps it away” (Proverbs 13:23)
My heaven on earth is no source of true bliss
But one only I would not like to miss
Is living in that heavenly land of promise
The one and only which is the true paradise

Living harmoniously with the creatures on the earth
This is something which entirely rests on ones faith
With my creator to enjoy a rich relationship
To evermore hallow the name of whom I worship
To live in accordance to all of Jehovah’s precept
And by all my faith, all His promises to accept
Even the grand promise of life of eternal bliss
The only sure thing of which not to miss
AMEN
