Every day is a new day

​Every day is a new day
treat it with a fresh pair of eyes, 
But then again, you may feel tired as the 24 hour you eyes for that day shall say goodbye.

Every day you speak to the God of your understanding for help, 
You seek the light from the dark place you weren’t able to see, 
I thank God for today, and that I am simply able to be me. 

Every day is a new day to grow
Yes, getting older doesn’t mean at this precise moment you are slow!

Every day, I speak to God and stay in the presence of today,
I miss the people who are no longer here, that’s the struggle we all have to face,
It’s inevitable, and sometimes a blessed send off needs to be put in place. 

Some people are fortunate to be around
Some are not and are unable to breathe today,
Thank you for humble mercies… at least for now you are able to set the path that you and God are able to lay.

Try it…

​try it! And try not to complain for a day
It may take a lot of prayer for that feeling to go away.

So pray and turn the other cheek,
Winning a fight isn’t all what it seems,
It’s the higher power which takes away the super ego that we possess inside 
The spirit of humility is the place we confide.

Try it! And Try not to complain 
Step up you faith, the driving force for a new day
Humility is paramount and the peace it shall lay.

Try it! Stick with prayer at the start of each morning,
It’s honing into your spirit which shall be the start of a blessed calling.

The day I got saved

​Did I deserve it? No
Did I walk towards it? Perhaps I was scared and a little slow. 

I was frightened and didn’t understand this feeling, 
I was petrified what my family would say if I accepted this break, as in my old life I was seething. 

People prayed for me, 
5:30pm sermon I later attended, 
I wanted more of this higher power, I was jubilant and elated.

I wanted this higher power to hit me time and time again,
I was crying inconsolably, my thoughts were hard to manage, 
I accepted the Lord and saviour as I was predominately damaged. 

Today, I have fellowship
People who encourage and want me safe,
I was used by the Father, and that was a honour 
I am more content today.. in Christ I don’t see myself as a bother.

Music of the 80s,

I was listening to sounds of today
Some of it was alright, and in time will be contained in perennial light.

Secular music of today
80s beats gave you a chance to punch the air, 
Even the melodic sounds gave purpose to the openness to share. 

80s had Pop, Motown, R&B and soul
There was heavy metal, which was a niche on it’s own
I preferably enjoyed Soul music, a beautiful harmony even when you felt alone. 

I liked the vibe
I loved the beat of the 80s chime, 
Spandex Ballet, tears for fears
And other was Luther Vandross who made us all gush and release our tears.

There was Duran Duran
And New kids of the block, 
The words weren’t a drone like it is today,
I feel blessed that I embraced those passed music along the way.

A day at a time

​Work, rest and play
There are plenty of things to do today. 
I go to the gym, work my limits out 
And this helps your mental health, that’s worth a shout!

Work to have money 
Work to give back
Work to show passion for what you do,
Enjoy this life.. you shall never know the limits you can inbue.

Rest the body
And rest the mind, 
It’s one of the hardest things on this earth, but with patience you will be able to find.

Play with joy
Play to embrace the moment with family and friends,
Life is a journey to enjoy also, don’t allow others to dictate
This is your life, take advice if you ask for it… the other actions may come early or otherwise late.

Life’s terms… with the spirit

​When I write I receive a calling,
It’s communication between myself and the higher power so I won’t begin to commence stalling.

Most of us can see the world as broken, yet need to pray for what you can’t control in people, places and things,
God is calling you my friend and there’s a plan he wants to bring.

I stopped alcohol on the 9th December 2024,
I know this wasn’t my path but the addiction made me want more. 

So in a world that lacks patience because everything is so quick and reactive,
Remember, you are still a child of the highest of high
And it’s only when the spirit says so is when you need to start saying goodbye.

Step 10 (A.A. Programme)

​Step 10
Will be for the rest of your life, 
Don’t worry! The inventory shall make you learn the highs and lows
And how you overcome the past resentments and blows. 

We learn from this method
We learn as it’s apart of the A.A. call
How many times we have said we would do this and that.. and how often did we fall. 

This is a life lesson
I am not plagiarising the words said in the big book,
I am writing a list every day,
I need to be with the programme, as I pray I am able to stay.

I may remove myself from people
But in fellowship I need to stay intact,
The blessings that I receive in the rooms, means the programme (especially on step 10) has your back.
