Joy’s Innermost Thoughts

We conceive

We born

We live

We die

Our offspring we nurture the best way we can

We feed them, we train them with loves tender care

And hope and pray that reward will appear.

This business of life is an uncertain game.

We work and we slave for long years ahead

Good education, housing, food and the rest

Yes our children must have the best

Graduation is here with excitement and gain

Optimism runs high as degrees are obtained

One month becomes one year and you are still unemployed –

You try, you know you tried hard but elusiveness prevails

With the same response “WE HAVE YOU ON FILE”

What was this all for?

The hard work, denials, the plans

This business of life is a challenging one;

Don’t give up my children, press forward ahead;

The challenge is great but you will survive

And learn to conquer THIS BUSINESS OF LIFE.

PEACE

Peace Perpetual Peace

Is our international song;

So, why should there not be that peace needed by everyone?

From East to West, from North to South

Shouting with passion and earnestly so –

“Let there be peace, let peace avows

Let love for fellowman be our motto now!”

There is a start with Mediation Plan

From here, let us build without confronting anyone,

Let’s sit, let’s talk, let’s communicate,

Discuss our problem aloud

Ask for help, there is plenty about.

“Let there be peace, let peace avows

Let love for fellowman be our motto now!”

GOD IS OUR GUIDE

Whenever life’s road gets rough

Always remember that your Faith is enough

To withstand the pains, the perils –

These are obstacles of test

Testing how high a hurdle you can jump.

Be assertive, be positive

Push those obstacles aside.

Jump, jump that hurdle of life

Looking to God as your guide.

St. Boniface by the Sea

Rip-roaring tides belie the fact

That a short distance from its foaming banks

Stands a building humble and Serene

With cathedral roof and simple wooden doors

Painted in delicate shades, so soothing to the eyes.

To its front, proudly stand a cross

A reminder to all – The Atonement of Our Sins.

Nestling between the Caribbean Sea and busy streets

Is St. Boniface, St. Boniface by the Sea.

Her Rector, he is oh so dear

Sometimes firm but dearly loved

By his congregation, young and old.

On entering this little Church

Peace and serenity enfolds and calm the soul

The friendly smiling faces the stranger meets

A kindly welcome like a banner greets.

Saying, friend

Happy welcome to St. Boniface by the Sea.

Up to the front her ALTAR proudly stands

With two tall candles brightly lit.

The Chalice with its contents and plate with host

The HOLY BIBLE at its stately post

Behind, young Acolytes, both boy and girl

And our Rector humbly wait

As the congregation kneels, he serves Communion

A reminder of the “Body and Blood” of Christ

Of his death on the cross for all our sins.

This Holy ceremony is over, and

Here comes the children all excited

To kneel at the ALTAR as their parents did.

“The blessing of God be upon you”, our Rector says

As he warmly and gently touches each head

Jesus loves the little children the congregation chants

Until each is blessed.

Do you feel it?

The warmth, the Holiness, the serenity!

I do, you will too!

Come visit us, Come pray with us, at

ST. BONIFACE, ST. BONIFACE by the sea.
