SWEET JUNK AND BOUNDARIES

 
Tell me sweet junk and blow my mind
It's a treasure I hope to find
Can hunt for it while blind
To savour the thrill of the find
O! Tell me again some sweet junk!

But in life, I talk about boundaries,
To know the lines that we can't cross
People may be helpful, but for real,
Their silence doesn't mean feel free!

Remind me again some sweet junk,
All those whispered nonsense we can't forget
The love that friendship begets
And a life without any regrets

But we draw the lines at boundaries
Lest we put a strain on friendship
A long way from the trenches
But at a point, elastic stops stretching

But whisper again some sweet junk
Let me again meditate like a monk
On these words that remain like skunk's,
O, remind me again some sweet junk!

This write is actually a combination of two topics threaded into one. For me personally, I'm a huge fan of boundaries, as much as I love freedom in relations, but I expect people to know their bounds. The subject of boundaries comes up with me regularly. I've come to realise that some people have no boundaries on themselves, so they impose their lack of restrictions on you, and if you're not careful, you begin to endure a sorry existence, and get madder when they push you yet another extra mile against your wishes. But, perhaps, it's time to take a stand, no matter how silently you speak, no matter how quietly you draw. Even if they don't hear, at least, you'll know you drew the lines. If they watch carefully, they'll observe the fine print.

MARY HAD SOME LITTLE WORDS

On this special day, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest birthday wishes. You have played such an incredible role in my  life, and I can't express enough how grateful I am to have you as an elder brother figure. From the very beginning, you have been there for me, guiding me through life's ups and downs as only a true brother would. Your kindness, support, and unwavering presence have been a source of strength and inspiration for me, and for that, I want to thank you wholeheartedly. You have been a pillar of support for me. Your wisdom, guidance, and friendly advice have been invaluable, and I genuinely cherish the bond that we share. You have opened your heart and embraced our family, making our lives brighter and richer. Today, as we celebrate your birthday, I hope you know how much you mean to us. You have not only touched our lives with your love and care but have become an integral part of our family. Your generosity, sense of humor, and genuine character have...

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...
