Don't be so sure of yourself
Unless you have been put to the test
and proved otherwise.

The Lord is my Ebeneezer,
this far He has led and
helped me in every need,
This strengthens my confidence, I trust
...

Here, among these ruins once stood
the throne of dignity, honor, and respect;
full of glory, and flowing with abundance.
The hope of men. A force to reckon with-
...

Death! Death with its strong claws
makes no sound as it comes.
But with a precision of a sniper;
mindless of height and tide,
...

I once held the ultimate in my hands and vowed to protect it.
But for a moment, my arms grew cold and I neglected it.
So it gathered cold and died right in my hand asking why
I promised the ultimate and delivered the opposite.

Origin, Identity, morality, and Purpose
are key. Once lost or sold, a person has
very little to offer and nothing left to lose
...

Hearts faint when the storm rages,
Hopes sublimes when the veil of sense
hangs dark between God and men.
...

There comes a time when the conviction
held in a family demands the strength
and zeal of a younger mind.
...

With love and friendship,
We have weaved our web of time
And made together our best encounter.
But when our parting time comes, I pray
...

Despite age, position, and experience,
No one has a monopoly on wisdom
Or the solution to all human problems.
To act omniscient and all-capable is either
...

We all have crosses we can't but must bear.
But God does not make mistakes,
He does not put burdens on shoulders
too weak to bear them nor give crosses
...

After many days of battle,
Someday along life's journey,
we'll pause for a while
and take a rest underground.
...

An apple does not survive a blow
One small bruise and it's dead. So is life.
Precious but delicate, that's what we are.
...

The heart faints when the storms of life rage,
Joy sublimes like snow when the window
of sense is closed between God and men.
But misery has a silver lining after the pain
...

The best among men do not drop from heaven.
Nor do they rise from a particular place or race.
Some are born and bred in palaces surrounded by privileges
while others; born in remote villages, schooled in hardships
...

This world was passed down to us
and will continue on, with or without us.
By ourselves, we cannot carry its weight
on our shoulders and move an inch.
...

Long live the memories we made
Hail to the friendships we forged,
and a toast to those who stayed
even after they were wronged.
...

After many days of battle,
Someday along life's journey,
We'll pause for a while and
take a rest beneath the ground.
...

Though life be lived between birth and death
We hold it true that this world is not our home
But our assignment to do and do it well.
And we have no intention of leaving it undone.
...

We are free men with freedom of choice.
What we lack isn't the freedom of choice
but the wisdom of choice—the ability to discern
right from wrong on absolute terms and comprehend
