Happy father's day to all fathers in the world

Adulthood, a maze so wide and vast,
Where childhood dreams now in the past.
Responsibilities weigh heavy on our hearts,
As we navigate through life's complex parts.
Gone are the days of carefree play,
Now we work hard to make our way.
Decisions to make, paths to choose,
Leaving behind the days we can't reuse.
Challenges mount as we forge ahead,
But inner strength is what we've bred.
With each passing year, we gain insight,
Learning to embrace both darkness and light.
Though adulthood may bring struggles and strife,
It also brings growth and a purposeful life.
So let us embrace this journey we're on,
For in adulthood, our true selves are ultimately drawn.

God's unconditional love and kindness

In the stillness of the night, a love divine,
Unfailing, unwavering, like an endless vine.
Through trials and triumphs, it's always there,
God's kindness and love, beyond compare.

Love that no human can understand,
A gentle touch, a guiding hand.
In every sunrise, in every star above,
God's love shines bright, an unending love.

It surpasses all boundaries, breaks every chain,
In moments of joy, and in times of pain.
A love so vast, it fills the endless skies,
In God's embrace, every soul finds its ties.

Love that fills all the voids,
Heals the broken hearts, makes them whole,
Filling the empty spaces, mending every soul.
God's love, a balm for every hurt,
A beacon of hope, a light in the dark, never inert.

Save me from this pain
Our world no longer feels like a home
Darkness surrounds me
I search for a light to guide me
To heal my broken soul
To restore my faith in humanity
Save me from this pain
Let love be the antidote
Let kindness be the cure
Bring back the warmth
That once filled our hearts
Save me from this pain
And make our world a home again

Dear friends,
Today, I want to talk to you about one of the most important lessons I have learned in my life - the importance of never giving up. Life is full of challenges and obstacles that might seem insurmountable at times. But it is during those difficult moments that we need to muster our inner strength and keep moving forward.
Each one of us faces struggles, setbacks, and failures. But it is how we respond to these challenges that truly defines us. It's easy to give up when things get tough, but remember that every setback is an opportunity for growth and learning.
There will be times when you feel like you're at your breaking point, but I urge you to remember that you are stronger than you think. You have the resilience and determination within you to overcome any obstacle that stands in your way.
So, my friends, I implore you to never give up on life. Keep pushing forward, keep believing in yourself, and never lose sight of your dreams. Remember that with perseverance and a positive mindset, anything is possible.

A sweet cold morning, still and serene
Passion for life in the crisp air, unseen
The sun peeks over the horizon with grace
Painting the sky with colors, a warm embrace

Breath fogging in the chill of the dawn
Heart beating with anticipation, a new day born
Frost glistening on every blade of grass
Nature's beauty, a moment that will forever last

Birds singing melodies, filling the air
A symphony of life, beyond compare
In this quiet morning, passion ignites
A feeling of hope, of endless delights

A sweet cold morning, with passion so true
Embracing the day, with all that we do
Let the love in our hearts guide the way
In this moment, forever we'll stay

The goodness of mathematics.

Mathematics is life,
A key to knowledge's door,
A language of truth,
A language that speaks to our youth
From simple addition to complex calculus,
In numbers and equations, we find solace and truth,
Its beauty lies so clear in patterns,
Guiding us through uncertainty and fear.
In statistics, patterns emerge, changing the world,
Algebra, a puzzle waiting to be solved,
Each problem a challenge, each solution evolved.
From geometry to calculus, it's a treasure,
Unlocking the secrets of nature's measure.
With logic and reason, we explore,
The mysteries of the universe, galore.
In equations, we find symmetry,
In formulas, we see possibility.
Mathematics, a brilliant light,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
So let us embrace this science divine,
For in mathematics, we'll always shine.

The Emerging Adult's Journey
Part 1
Peer pressure

Peer pressure is a potent influence,
Drawing young adults into its thrall,
It lures with the promise of social approval,
But its price can be a dangerous steeple.
It leads to actions one might regret,
Blinded by the need to fit in and forget.

Oh, emerging adult, be wise and strong,
For peer pressure's pull can last far too long.

The dangers of peer pressure are manifold,
From drugs and alcohol to reckless acts bold.
One might experiment, hoping for approval,
But find themselves in situations most lethal.

In the pursuit of acceptance, some will turn
To dangerous avenues, where they'll learn.
Prostitution can seem a lucrative game,
But the consequences can be a world of shame.

The allure of peer pressure is often strong,
Leading young adults to make choices wrong.
Remember, dear emerging adult, it's okay to be unique,
For individuality is a strength, not a flaw or a meek.

Stand firm in your convictions, stay true to yourself,
And resist the pull of the peer pressure shelf.
You are enough just the way you are,
And your individuality will take you far.

Part 2
Academic stress

Academic stress can be a formidable foe,
Weighing down the minds of the young, making them slow.
The pressure to perform, to achieve, to succeed,
Can make them feel like they're walking on a tightrope, indeed.

Exams, assignments, deadlines galore,
They struggle to keep their heads above the academic shore.

The pressure to get good grades, to be the best,
Can make them forget the importance of rest.
Sleep deprivation, anxiety, and self-doubt,
Can take their toll on their health, making them shout.

And in the worst cases, the stress can be too much to bear,
Pushing some to the brink, making them despair.

It's not just the workload that takes its toll,
But the fear of not meeting society's expectations and goal.
The competition, the standards, the "ideal" GPA,
They become the yardsticks by which success is weighed.

The stress can leave young adults feeling lost and alone,
Like they're sailing in a storm with no lighthouse to guide them home.
Depression, anxiety, and self-esteem can take a hit,
Leading to feelings of hopelessness and a downward pit.

And in the darkest moments, they might think, 'It's not worth it.

The weight of academic stress can be crushing,
A burden too heavy for young minds to be brushing.
Suicidal thoughts, a dark and grim reaction,
Can arise from feeling overwhelmed by this cruel attraction.

The love of knowledge, the thirst for success,
Can turn into a poisonous brew, causing much distress.

Yet, amid the darkness, there is still a light,
A beacon of hope that shines bright in the night.
By acknowledging the stress, seeking support, and setting boundaries,
Emerging adults can build resilience and find their inner peace, you see.

Reach out to friends, family, or counselors,
And remember, academic success is not the sole measure of honor.

Part 3
Identity Issues

Identity issues can be a tricky maze to navigate,
A journey of self-discovery that's both exciting and daunting to navigate.
As emerging adults explore the world, they might question who they are,
'Am I straight, gay, bi, or somewhere in between, by far?'

Their gender, their values, their beliefs and dreams,
All come under scrutiny as they question what they believe it means.

They might question what society expects of them,
'Do I have to conform to these norms, or should I just be me?'
And in their quest for identity, they might face judgement and scorn,
'Why can't you just be normal?' they hear, as their resolve is torn.

But remember, dear emerging adult, your identity is yours alone,

Adulthood, a rollercoaster ride,
Can bring excitement, but also fear deep inside.
The pressure to succeed, to 'adult' just right,
Can make emerging adults feel lost and out of sight.

The weight of responsibilities, they come fast and heavy,
From paying bills to planning a future that's steady.
From managing relationships to pursuing a career,
Emerging adults must balance it all with grace and cheer.

But it's not just about the practicalities of life,
It's also about finding meaning and avoiding inner strife

"The journey of adulthood , a turbulent ride,
A time of growth and self-discovery, with challenges on every side.
But as emerging adults navigate this journey, they'll learn and grow,
Finding strength and wisdom as they go with the flow.

And remember, dear friend, no matter the path you take,
Embrace your journey with pride, for your story is yours to make.

"Life is a constant juggling act, and sometimes the balls you're juggling are friendship, work, family, and self-care. But remember, the best jugglers don't drop everything; they keep all the balls in the air, even when they're out of sight for a little while. Your friends will understand if you explain how busy you've been. And if they don't, well, maybe they're just not great at catching."

Journey to success.
Spines and prickles are in the way,
Walking under the scorching sun,
The head aches, the throat sores,
Yet, hope lives in the heart's embers,
Burning bright with each passing day.
Through endless toil and constant pressures,
The prize awaits, far past the bay.
Each step may seem like a mountain climbed,
But success comes to those who persist.
So, press onward, past pain, past time,
And the fruits of labor you will harvest.

In winter's icy grip, the path may freeze,
Obscuring the way, turning progress to a crawl.
But underneath the frost and frozen leaves,
The embers still smolder, ready to answer the call.

So, let the cold be your teacher,
For each step, it will hone your resolve.
In the midst of winter's frigid feature,
Your inner fire will remain, and the rest will dissolve.

When spring thaws the frozen path at last,
Your journey will yield its greatest reward.
With the sun warm and shining in your grasp,
You'll know that the hardship was not in vain, and your heart, never marred.

Through the spines and the cold,
You will climb, you will prevail.
For the strength you possess, your triumph untold,
Will be the sweetest fruit to reap and to hail.

Motherhood

From the moment you first hold your child,
A love unlike any other takes hold,
You'll dance through joy and tears,
A beautiful journey, your story untold.

A world where time slows down,
And the smallest moments become grand,
From the first smile, to the first steps,
Every milestone, a reason to stand.

A piece of your heart, breathing on its own,
Your entire world now revolves around their light,
A love so powerful, so selfless,
This bond transcends day and night.

A selfless devotion, a bond unbreakable,
A mother's heart is one that can't be tamed,
She'll move mountains for her child,
A love so fierce, her pride unashamed.

A mother's pride, a double-edged sword,
Her child, her vulnerability made flesh,
She'll sacrifice her own dreams and desires,
For their happiness, her only wish.

A mother is a goddess, a warrior, and a friend,
A love that knows no bounds, that knows no end,
Her heart, a fortress, a shining star,
An eternal flame, a beacon, near and far.

Su***de is a complex and heart-wrenching issue that impacts individuals, families, and communities around the world. It's a topic that's often shrouded in silence and stigma, which can prevent people from seeking the help they need. In this poem, we'll explore the origins of su***de, its impact on society, and the ways in which we can support those who are struggling. My goal is to shed light on this topic and provide resources for anyone who may be affected.

Su***de
Part 1
The soul flies away,
Leaving hearts heavy and broken,
As tears fall like rain,
For a life that's been forsaken

We mourn, we are left with bitterness and anger,
Their pain went unheard, their loneliness unwrapped,
And now we are left,
With questions unanswered.

Those dreams left unfulfilled, an untimely death,
Where are they now, those souls once so dear?
Are they in the heavens above, or do they roam the earth,
In search of the peace and love they couldn't find here.?

We still feel them, their memories still haunt,
A ghostly presence, an unseen reminder,
Of all they were and could have been,
A life cut short, a soul gone dimmer.

Leaving behind their little ones, their parents, family, friends,
A void that can never be filled, a hole that never mends,
Their absence is felt in every corner, in every room,
In the laughter now muted, in the memories now in gloom.

Part 2

Su***de, an enigma as old as time,
An act that has puzzled humanity,
A dark and desperate choice,
With roots deep and intertwined.

From ancient tales of heroes and kings,
Who chose to end their lives with honor,
To modern times and the rising rates,
Su***de has weaved a tale of sorrow.

A daily news item, a tragic headline,
A grim reminder of lives lost too soon,
A call to action, a plea for change,
Su***de's impact can't be outrun.

From where did this idea originate,
This thought of escape, this tragic fate?
A universal question, a mystery unsolved,
Su***de's origins defy explanation and solve.

Mental health, a fragile foundation,
Social media, a double-edged sword,
Their power to influence, a force to be reckoned with,
Su***de's roots may lie in these modern gifts.

But as society evolves and we seek to understand,
The darkness that drives some to their final stand,
We must strive for empathy, compassion, and care,
Su***de's grip can be weakened with love and awareness.

May we remember those we've lost,
And honor their memory with love and light,
For in the darkness of despair,
There is always hope in sight.

The Whispering Pages

The books on my shelf
Have secrets to tell,
Each page a story
To cast its spell.

The words on the page
Come alive as I read,
The characters and worlds
Are mine to heed.

In the silence of night,
The pages they whisper,
Of love and of life
And all that will be.

Life, a mystery that no human can unfold,
No scientist can discover,
It's a journey that unfolds as we grow older.

Each day is a lesson,
A chance to live and learn,
To discover new things,
It's filled with turns and twists,
Puzzles that can take forever.
The choices we make,
The paths we take,
Shaping our lives,
For life is not a straight line,
But a winding road,
With highs and lows,
And obstacles, yet to be foretold.

The sunrise, the sunset,
The passage of time,
A reminder that life is fleeting,
It's time waits for no one,
A constant race against the sun.
But in this grand adventure,
It's the beautiful treasure we've ever got.
The laughter, the tears,
The joy and fears.
These moments make life,
It's never a straight road,
There are ups and downs.
But in the midst of chaos,
It's very precious and mysterious.
The love we find,
The friends we bind,
These are the jewels,
These are the jewels,
The treasures we'll never forget.
For in the end, when life draws to its close,
It's not the wealth we amass,
But the moments we cherish,
That will matter the most.

So, embrace life,
Its mysteries and its joys,
For this journey is a gift,
That we all have been deployed.

Anxiety

A heavy burden to bear,
A weight that's hard to shake,
A thief that steals your sleep, your joy,
A cloud that darkens your day.

Anxiety, a companion you don't want,
A voice that whispers doubt,
A ghost that haunts your every step,
You cannot make decisions, for fear holds you back,
The crowd, a sea of judgement, a storm of doubt,
You cannot make friends, for the risk feels too great.
No hope, no love, in the darkness it breeds,
Distracting you from all that could be,
Blinding you to the light that shines within.

Always in your head, for the world seems to haunt,
Praying for the day to never end, for night brings the darkest darkness,
When the demons of doubt crawl out,
And leave you trembling in fear.
The invisible nature of anxiety can make it hard to understand,
No one to tell, for its a rare and most misunderstood situation,
Hidden from view, like a silent illness,
A battle fought in the shadows, unseen and unheard.
Anxiety is like a lion in the night,
Fear stalks you, as if you're its prey,
A predator that hunts your every move,
A terror that never strays too far away.

But even lions can be tamed, and anxiety can be managed,
A tribute to those who battle this silent war,
To those who fight their fears each day,
To those who struggle, yet continue to soar.

May these words bring comfort, a reminder of hope,
A beacon in the darkness, a reminder to cope,
And remember, your strength is a light.
