Training

To win a physical contest, you must train vigilantly 
This will make your body perform with great agility. 

Spiritual training is much the same,
training with our mind, soul and heart. 
To bring us across the finish line, with great speed, from the very start

The finish line of our life often seems so sad at times.
The Spirit of God being in our lives, 
We will hear those glorious chimes.

Audie Leon Murphy

Audie Murphy a young farm boy from Texas 
Joined the army, many calling him reckless 

Growing up in poverty gave him many skills.
Determination and will to conquer many hills.

Through hellish war and lavish life,
Murph plodded on, plagued with much strife

Some saw him as a special being protected by God.
Murph saw himself on a lonely path he was given to trod.

He conquered because of perseverance and hope.
Due to his dear mother who taught him to cope

Life is never easy, the difficult decisions we have to make,
Leading us to our eternal destiny, wherewith God we will awake.

Sharing or Caring

Sharing or Caring which is the most important you might ask
They are both righteous tributes
It's up to us to perform the correct task

Sharing and Caring should be lovingly discussed
Then transferred to those in need gaining their trust

Trust is the most important I would say
Having the gift of trust almost anything you can convey
