Thank God for the morning 

Another opportunity to be awake 

The grace to breath a bit longer 

When I am weak in spirit the great I AM is stronger 

Pushed to the limit 

I don't give up, let go or stop 

There is no glass ceiling on my top 

Only heaven 

When people throw rocks 

I am unmoved 

Because the farmer sowed my seed in fertile ground 

So my endeavors are fruitful year round 

The Holy Spirit dwells in me 

So when the lightening strikes I am in no need of company 

I have a trusty steed 

He is a true friend and confidant to those in need  

I don't have to worry 

About what the world thinks about me 

Because when times were hard 

They couldn't spare groceries 

 

There is only joy to be found in my Father 

So when the chickens gather to cluck 

I don't even bother 

It's the nature of the world to talk ill of the chosen ones 

And fight over meaningless pearls 

To look only at the physical that dissipates in due time 

To forget about eternity that stands when all the temporary has faded 

To look towards mankind for answers 

But when it comes to the matters of God they are jaded 

Some people are built that way 

To only look at present circumstances day to day 

But I think about the present, tomorrow and yesterday 

So I can build a legacy that gives my children roots 

In order to defy the eagerness to go with the flow 

When the enemy recruits 

Earlier in the morning 

They were planted in good soil 

Love always, Esha 

Travel With Hope

Ride on 

Move forward

Traverse to destinations unseen 

Only experienced in dreams 

Inch closer to the desires 

Placed in your heart 

Push through valleys

Pedal up mountaintops 

Thrive in the midst of the wilderness

Sail over running rapids 

As robust waterways swell 

Let the dirt road 

Build the level of your endurance 

The challenge will make you reach higher 

The time spent fighting will make you travel lighter

Because smooth highways 

And byways are meant for driving 

But it is the difficult terrain that builds us 

Shaping our hard days 

Into faith and trust 

Creating a spirit than can withstand 

The journey in no man's land 

Love always, Esha <3
