"Beware Of Squeezing In"

This poem's about a lesson,
of heaven and conquering sin.
A lesson of kingdom greatness,
to beware of squeezing in.

Must enter in as victor,
for greatness to begin.
A Holy conquering king,
so beware of squeezing in.

Don't throw away your greatness,
content to crawl your way in.
Content with just being saved,
just beware of squeezing in.

Beware of just getting by,
when greatness is there to win.
Must seek to be your best,
must beware of squeezing in.

Your best as overcomer,
make wisdom your dear friend.
Must feel this way on entry,
and beware of squeezing in.

I learned my lesson wisely,
mistake won't happen again.
Do my best in heaven,
but beware of squeezing in.

My best I'll surely give,
I'll do it again and again.
I'll move from love to love,
will beware of squeezing in.

My best I'll treat my citizens,
their love I'll earn and win.
Their king who gave his all,
I'll beware of squeezing in.

My best I'll rule in heaven,
persist through thick and thin.
Do all I possibly can,
and beware of squeezing in.

"Beware Of Wasted Time"

This poem's about a lesson, I'll always keep in mind.
protect and guard my treasure, to beware of wasted time.

A treasure if it's wasted, would be a Holy crime.
A treasure lost forever, so beware of wasted time.

No tears can bring it back, not if you sob and whine.
Must guard against each second, and beware of wasted time.

For if it's lost or stolen, no more you'll never find.
It'll break your heart so deeply, just beware of wasted time.

For when that time is needed, you'll be in such a bind.
Remember you threw it away, so beware of wasted time.

Must view it as a gift, to treat it precious prime.
If I'm to rule in heaven, must beware of wasted time.

My citizens in heaven, I'll help them grow and shine.
I'll value every moment, I'll beware of wasted time.

Now I'm a king in heaven, I'm Holy and divine.
I learned my lesson wisely, to beware of wasted time.

"Beware Of Give To Get"

This poem's about a lesson,
I'll never ever regret.
I learned it from my Father,
to beware of give to get.

A lesson He carefully taught me,
when giving there is a threat.
The danger of secret return,
so beware of give to get.

Don't look to fill your bosom,
with Blessings you surely expect.
Your giving was trade disguised,
must beware of give to get.

Don't expect the windows to open,
keep track of invisible debt.
Cheerfully give if in your heart,
and beware of give to get.

I learned my lesson wisely,
a Blessing I'll never forget.
It'll stay with me forever,
It's beware of give to get.

The thing I'll do the most,
when kingdom is ready and set.
Is give and give some more,
I'll beware of give to get.

As king I'll give my citizens,
my love that never will quit.
No thought or sign of return,
will beware of give to get.

As king I'll rule in heaven,
and on my throne I'll sit.
I learned the art of giving,
to beware of give to get.

"If I Only Knew"

If I only knew Jesus loves me,
I'd Bless and thank Him each day.
If I only knew about angels,
I'd ask them to pave out my way.

If I only knew I'd go to heaven,
I'd start living it now in my mind.
If I only knew how to pray,
it'll be something I'd do all the time.

If I only knew God was with me,
I'd know I was not left alone.
If I only knew about glory,
I'd be anxious for crown and my throne.

If I only knew about Holiness,
I'd bathe in its great glowing light.
If I only knew how to love,
I'd do it with all of my might.

If I only knew about greatness,
I'd never settle for less.
If I only knew what to do,
I'd do it and make it my best.

If I only knew I'd live forever,
I'd laugh at death in its face.
If I only knew of judgment,
I'd ask God to please take my place.

If I only knew about giving,
I'd be Blessed above all the fray.
If I only knew how to serve,
I'd live in a much noble way.

If I only knew about power,
I'd grab it and never let go.
If I only knew about patience,
I'd slow down and take it real slow.

If I only knew about forgiving,
I'd done it a long time ago.
If I only knew about character,
I'd know it's the best way to grow.

If I only knew my talents,
I'd share them and help all I can.
If I only knew about wisdom,
I'd know that the kingdom's at hand.

If I only knew how to help,
I'd pitch in to lighten a load.
If I only knew to obey,
I'd do all I was commanded and told.

If I only knew myself,
I'd know why I act as I do.
If I only knew my God,
I'd know His promises are true.

If I only knew my future,
I'd stop wasting all of my time.
If I only knew a little faith,
I'd know it'll work out just fine.

If I only knew about heaven,
I'd prepare for it early not late.
If I only knew about rulership,
I'd be anxious and couldn't hardly wait.

If I only knew salvation,
I'd know my soul is still lost.
If I only knew about hell,
I'd avoid it no matter the cost.

If I only knew my soul,
I'd know I was seriously sick.
If I only knew I didn't know,
I'd learn about life really quick.

If I only knew I was blind,
I'd ask God for sight just to see.
If I only knew myself,
I'd know what's going on inside me.

If I only knew I'd win,
I'd put up a much better fight.
If I only knew how to grow,
I'd do it each day and each night.

If I only knew THAT knowledge,
I'd then know all the facts.
If I only knew understanding,
I'd know what's holding me back.

"Pain Of Judgment"

This poem's about a pain,
the worst I ever felt.
The loss of just one soul,
my heart would quickly melt.


A pain I tried to hide,
and hope no one would see.
A pain that robbed my joy,
a pain that stole my glee.

A pain that hurt me badly,
like nothing had before.
A pain with sorrow heart,
it hurt me to the core.

A pain so deeply felt,
a pain I can't describe.
A pain I'll always remember,
a pain I had inside.

A pain that came with judgment,
a pain I knew so well.
A pain I had to bear,
when sentencing to hell.

A pain that's right and lawful,
that justice would require.
A pain to see their face,
when cast into the fire.

A pain that followed verdict,
a pain of greatly cost.
A pain that came each time,
I knew a soul was lost.

All about Choices

When I was still young, I found it easy to deal with everything... All I worry about was how to get ACE on my subjects, how to keep my scholarship and how to keep my parents proud. I would only cry over something that's too petty like not going to an overnight swimming with my classmates or to hike at Mt. Makiling because my parents wouldn't allow me to. I could still remember my tantrums when my Mom and Dad didn't sign my waiver to go to my Girl Scout camping. But after a week or two, I was okay and fine as if nothing happened.

I started to be independent when I was 18. I stayed in a dormitory approximately 2 hour drive from home. It was my parents preference because I'd always got sick with the travel time to the University. I was on my 2nd year College then.

I learned in life, for you to be able to keep up, you must mingle with the different types of people. I grew up in a conservative family. My parents don't have vices. College life was a breakthrough to accept change. Everything's different. I met a gay couple who used to live in the same house I was. At first, I felt it was such a moral disgrace. Growing up as a Catholic Christian, I felt they were sinners. But the guys really rock my world. They taught me being gay is just an acceptance of who they really are. Falling inlove with the same sex is unconditional. Come to think of it, it is... I also met a high-end prostitute who used to be in my class. She was pretty and all that. Before I didn't understand why'd she do that. Then I came to realize, it was her choice to finish College. I got friends who were addicted to shabu and marijuana. They'd usually party before our exams and Parliamentary procedure recital. Some of them did that before our Theatrical performance. It was when I realized, it would make them feel confident and face rejections.

I remember this friend in my my first year high. She's really an epitome of beauty and brains. She grew up in States, and enrolled in our University because she had a traumatic past back there. She had a boyfriend who was also our classmate. They were together until we graduated. She went back to the US after graduation. She said she'd just need to work harder so that she could pay for the lot she wanted them to live in when they settle down. But I heard they didn't end up together. Infact, the guy is happily married now. I didn't understand what else could that guy ask for? He almost had it all. She's a total catch!

It was when I realized people make their own choices. With the gay couple, it was their choice why they'd chose to be with the same sex. They'd express themselves freely with one another. They broke up before they graduated, but they remained friends until now. With the high-end prostitute, teething was her way to survive College. Now, she's a prominent lawyer. With my addicted friends, partying made them surpass our not-so-easy exams and shows. They made it to College and became successful Entrepenuers. With my friend in first year high, it was her choice to leave for the states to buy the lot of her dreams in the expense of her own happiness. She's still single by choice, and successful business woman. With the guy, it was his choice to chose someone who would stand up for him through richer and in poorer. Maybe, he was looking for a deeper meaning of relationship.

Funny thing about choices is once you make them, you have to live with them. You gotta embrace them. Never look back for it would only hurt you so bad...

Pause.

Maybe it's time for me to reassess the situation... Gotta make my own choice! Whatever it is, I'd make sure, it's for my own sake... And I won't regret.

A, B, C

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Accept. Expect the unexpected. Let universe do the works.

Leave. Ignore. Just get out. Move on...
