Remember first, how much you love someone

Then maybe you won’t hurt their feelings.

Remember the next time you commit yourself to something

Even though it may not mean much to you

It may mean everything

To someone else.

At all times remember who you are

That way I’m sure you will do your best

Can you remember as a young person

The first time you looked in your mother or father’s eyes

And saw the wonderment of love for the first time?

Well I guess all I can say is:

Try to remember the good things

Because they will always help you deal with the bad ones.

Just had a thought,

Deryo

I can remember the first time I saw and felt

The beauty of a female.

I was about ten years old.

At that time, I looked in her eyes

And for the first time I felt a feeling I had never felt before.

It felt like the bright and sweet smell of Springtime

And colorful butterflies flying around my head

Making my heart flutter.

I will always remember the first time I could smell the sweet and tantalizing aroma

Emanating from her glistering soft skin.

And through all of this, I began to see the difference between she and I.

As time went on and I learned more about girls, ladies and women

I learn not to only respect the beauty

But also the specialness in their existence.

And now, I can truly see

The beauty in them all.

Here’s to the beauty,

Deryo

In the beginning I didn’t know

But as time went by

It began to show

That even though I had been here for a long time

It didn’t, wouldn’t and couldn’t make a difference

Because what some saw, when they looked at me

Didn’t reflect the truth that was inside of me.

So I asked the question.

Is it me you see or is it the reflection from your mind and thoughts?

I again asked a question.

Didn’t you learn, that in order to see you have to understand?

And with understanding you will see, that each person is more than a thought or reflection.

We all are the embodiment of complex feelings, thoughts and dreams.

And those are only a few of the things that count

In the vast makeup of a human being

In the beginning there was one

And from that

Came the many

Please, don’t get it twisted

Because we’re all in this together

Just like in

The Beginning.      

I’m just saying,

Deryo

The sun is shining down on my face

And I can feel the character of its energy.

Brilliant, but not overbearing

It facilitates the flow of my every moment

Every moment of my spirituality is enlightened

And every day of my dedication of positive being.

But as I looked closer

I then saw that I was blind to the fact.

Because I thought it was the sun that shines in the sky

But truly

It was His son

Jesus Christ.

Yes I believe,

Deryo

I’m standing strong

Even though it’s not the way it once was.

Now I’m fighting for the answers to stay complete.

Even though challenges may seem insurmountable

I march forward, with my eyes and mind staring at the prize.

Even though being judged

I don’t question.

Because, if you don’t know

You must find out

And if you do know

There’s no need to contest

So it’s said

Wisdom is something, which finds you in your travels in life.

And it’s not a concept you can buy or demand.

But just the same

It’s you who figures it out.

So still believe in yourself

Even though you’re questioned.

And never stand down

When you know you need to stand up.

I’m just saying,

Deryo

On and within our journey in life

We search for our meaning

We ask the questions in an act to find ourselves.

But what stands true for us all is

It is not the moment or the thinking within those moments.

But is the overall commitment of our lives

That we create, to build our story

As it is not one brick that builds a building

But is the summation of the total

That creates the everlasting story told

Of and in our lives.

Sure there are so many things that lead us

Or mislead us on our journey in life.

But we must learn or remember

That it is the positive choice

That was given to us all

So we can and should obey by.

So live your life in the positive way

Which is truly

The only way

Given in and believe.

Giving it to Him,

Deryo

It’s hard to sustain or gain
When your heart is broken.
It’s hard to sustain or remain the same
When you’re having trouble in keeping your faith strong.
It’s hard to sustain what you feel is true
When all around you tell you you’re not correct.
But remember
From the day you first see
You can believe in Me
You saw and felt the glory it brings.
Yes, by trusting yourself
And standing strong in your positive belief.
Through you I will shine the light
For all to see.
Because sustaining your faith
Is the path to seeing everyone free.

Giving it to Him,
Deryo

Whether it’s depending on yourself or someone else

This can be a challenging situation.

Because the substance within being able to solidify

Is in every moment of commitment.

Many of times we feel in our hearts

That we really want to do something.

But many of times, other things come up.

But the key component to solve this conundrum

Is to give in to the commitment, that you commit to first.

Sure you may be faced with something new that you may

Determine to be more important at that moment.

But I ask you

What can be more important than the word you have given?

So I guess the bottom line is

What type of person you think you are and want to be?

Depending on you to understand,

Deryo 

As I look into my crystal ball

I see the life I live

Fast, bright and sometimes confusing.

But there’s no place like home.

Bright lights and tall buildings

Sometime blocking my view and stifling my breathing.

But you see

I’ve grown to understand, that it’s all here for me to enjoy

My city life

Like everything that is outside of my being

It’s there for me see and enjoy

And my objective

Is to not to let it use or abuse me.

So while you’re in my city.

Enjoy

Living my life, in the City,

Deryo

I’m untouched by the way things are flowing these days

The broken dreams of a truth

That’s laid beneath the feet of every new born positive idea.

An attempted birth of a misguided foul breath of life’s air

That is the intake of all who refuse to believe.

The ones who refuse to believe that

The truth doesn’t lie

The truth doesn’t misguide you

 Or that the truth allows the presence of your positive dreams

To exist.

My commitment disallows any misguiding away from the truth

Because I believe in the living and giving of His goodness.

And that’s why I’m

Untouched

Have faith in the truth,

Deryo
