Poems of Praise
Beloved is the One Who spoke and all things came to be!
Beloved are You!
Beloved is the One who created
all in the beginning!
Beloved is the One Who speaks and acts!
Beloved, Who determines and fulfills!
Beloved, Who deals kindly with the world!
Beloved, Who acts kindly towards all creatures!
Beloved, Who responds with good to those in awe!
Beloved, Who removes the dark and brings the light!
Beloved is the One Who lives eternally.
Beloved, Who delivers and redeems! Beloved are You and Your name!

Starting today….
I will open my mind and heart to others in need.
I will try my hardest to do my best.
I will make new friends.
I will take the advice I get from those who care.
I must learn to be myself, and love myself.
I will listen to more music and write more music.
I will try to make somebody’s day a little bit better.
I will have fun!
I can express myself.
I will write about my feelings.
I will reflect on the past.
I will look towards the future because it is coming soon.
Today is the day I will begin
I will continue to smile.
I will dream about tomorrow.
I will challenge myself.
I shall travel to new places and see new things.
I will do more good deeds.
You see, these are the things
I hope for so much.
I will live; I will love; I will learn;
and I will pray.
