A Poem by Rev. Jeff Byrd

In the stillness of the mind, we find our start,

Where wisdom whispers, guiding every heart.

Before the world can see what we are meant to do,

We pause, reflect, and let the truth come through.

 

To live abundantly, we first must know,

That life’s a mirror—what we reap, we sow.

The principle of life is not in what we say,

But in the actions, in the steps we take each day.

 

Love abundantly, with a heart wide and true,

For love returns in ways we never knew.

It's not in grand gestures or words that we repeat,

But in the kindness and compassion when we meet.

 

To laugh abundantly, to find joy in every hour,

Is to see the world as blooming with power.

It's not just in the jokes or moments we contrive,

But in the spirit of gratitude, we keep alive.

 

Ernest Holmes once said with wisdom so pure,

"Prove these principles, let your life be the cure."

For words are just echoes, but actions are the key,

To living, loving, laughing in true harmony.

 

So rest, dear soul, let your spirit align,

In this quiet space, you'll find the divine.

Then rise with purpose, let your life be the art,

And prove to the world what’s held in your heart.

 

For in this journey, you’ll discover the truth,

That abundant life is more than just proof.

It’s a testament, a legacy, a path you create,

When you live, love, and laugh—proving your fat
