Pressure builds inside
Stemming from some place unknown
Wishing I could hide
Even though I’m fully grown
Sickness in my gut
Uncertainty from clouds rain down
Wheels stuck in a rut
Water rising as I drown
Bewilderment reigns
Crushing me into a sea
Fighting off its chains
Lost amongst all the debris
Wind whips all around
Muffling my silent plea
Throws me to the ground
Where I find the golden key
Every time I trip
The ground is there to catch my fall
I may lose my grip
Eyes blind I’ll have to crawl
But it will always be
Supporting me my whole life through
When I’m lost at sea
It will guide me to a life anew
God is my foundation
His love, the ground beneath my feet
My only aspiration
In His love I am complete
Every word of thy poetry is indeed like unto a mirror in which the evidences of the devotion and love thou cherishest for God and His chosen ones are reflected. -Baha'u'llah

Set Them Aglow
She arrived extra early
That first class we had
She couldn’t wait to start
Her smile a work of art
The joy written on her face
The love in that first embrace
Gave me strength and helped me fly
And I remember soaring in her big blue eyes
These children are waiting for us to arise
To love them and help them to reach for the skies
To spiritually guide them and help them to grow
So show them God’s love and set them aglow
He was timid and shy
Afraid to reply
But nothing compared
To his radiant prayer
He was filled with a love no power can mar
And he truly was a brilliant star
Though small for his size he was extremely wise
And I remember soaring in his big brown eyes
These children are waiting for us to arise
To love them and help them to reach for the skies
To spiritually guide them and help them to grow
So show them God’s love and set them aglow
Regard them as mines rich in gems
As flowers growing from a single stem
Educate them and teach them to shine
The beauty inside which is pure and Divine
For they will learn and like gold be refined
And uplift and empower the whole of mankind.

Independent Investigation of Truth
We live our lives in ignorance
Uncertain of the truth
Everything we think we know
Was learned before our youth
A life of lies produces lies
A person learns what they’ve been told
But at some point it becomes our job
To break out of this mould
Investigate, search and find
The answers which you seek
Followers don’t know the truth
Their minds are lost and weak
Unrestrictedly take control,
For actuality become a sleuth
See through your own two eyes
And independently investigate the truth.
