Let Us Stand!

It takes courage to stand alone,
and wisdom to face the world with just a few.
It takes guts stand for something righteous,
but you must have God standing with you.

Each day will bring new challenges.
Yes, each different than the day before.
But if you can keep your eyes focused,
the struggle will one day cease to be no more.

In the midst of all your struggles,
in the midst of every pain,
Let’s stand tall in the face of opposition,
showing everyone that our God reigns.

For if we continue in the faith,
we know Jesus stands with us.
He’ll cover us with his feathers,
under His wings will we trust.

So stand my brothers and sisters, stand together in unity!
Stand together in holiness, a virtue the world must now see!
Stand and be lights, lights set upon the hills!
Stand and shine bright, for our influence, satan will not kill.
Our father showed us the way, and with wisdom were we filled.

Let us stand as the trees planted by the rivers,
allowing our roots to intertwine together.
Let’s stand and make him proud,
in spite of those filled with laughter.

The winds and rains will do no damage,
for we are still protected by our "celestial intercessor"!
Let us stand together each doing our part,
for in standing together, Powerhouse, we will not fall apart!

Proverbs of my father!

You know, it's funny
How life causes us to grow...
From the back to back weeks, when it refuses to be sunny,
From the days when winds continue to blow.

We grow from the mistakes of our parents,
From the wisdom of our "grands".
From the bullies at our schools,
From the Samaritans offering helping hands

As a guardian, these too have shaped my life
But the one I am most of all grateful for
Is the teachings of my father.

Son, live holy. Son do what's right!!!
Son, be respectful, but never cowar when it's time to fight.
Fight for what you believe.
Son, stand, even when everything tells you to leave!

Son, love your family, honor your wife,
Cherish each one of them, all the days of your life,

Son, live above the stereotypes,
And Never follow the hypes.
Save your monies, for money is powerful!
Son think of the future, make it blissful!

Son, you can dare to be greater, and stand out from the crowd,
So that at the end of the day, you can go home proud.

You can live right, so that heaven belongs to you,
You can live simply, so scandals never follow you!

Son you can do this, because God is on your side!
And not only that, but you can do all of this, because Christ lives inside!!

"To my father, to my king", I will continue your legacy! I will continue on
because you taught me to never give up, until the victory was won! I love you so much, from the bottom of my heart! Thank you for taking me in, and teaching me the art....
Of living greater! 💜💖

In loving memory of my father and pastor, who transitioned to God's kingdom on July 27, 2018 💔😇💔

Flowing with Love

Noticed by all, studied by few
Yet everyone knows, my silent powers are true.
In my rage I can wash away a Beach's sands.
Yet in my love, I will wash away your worst sins.

My presence brings forth life, just look at the world around you.
And in my embrace, I preserve it;
Observe the flowers cut from their roots.

With all this power I still have limits,
set by the Master above.
So until I receive another command... I'll just be here, dripping, falling; flowing with love!

My relationship with Christ!

At 27... I guess you could say I've been through a lot of dark nights.
I've been through hell's fire and life's hard rains
There have been times when I wanted to give up, to give in to the fight
Throw it all away, and give in to the pain.

Suicide, depression, leaving this world.... yes this was me
Thinking of other worlds and how life on them would be
To be a spirit, boundless and free
And at any time, be anywhere in this Galaxy.

Yet, in the back of my mind, there was a voices, so gentle and calm
Telling me to hold, "Son, just be strong!"
That it wouldn't last forever,
That one days things would be better

Crying my eyes out, longing for relief
Wishing for just someone, to understand my grief.
I drowned out the voice, thinking "It could never be."

Yet it never faded, it was always there
Trying desperately, to pull me from despair...
And then one day I gave in... because I was done fighting... "Okay, voice, you win!"

I fell into a slumber, and soon fell asleep
It must have only been a few minutes, but man was it deep.
I saw my grandmother, her sweet smile warmed my heart
And for a quick second, I was able to behold a masterpiece of God's own art...
I heard her whisper, son you'll make it!
You just gotta keep going  don't youdare quit!
As she faded away there was a greater beauty to behold
My eyes begin to water, as I begin to behold it all

I saw so plainly, "oh God, how could I have been so blind;
To this beautiful and fragile time, we all call life!"
I saw the Majesty of His creation, the works of His hands,
The beautiful stars upon the sky, the harmony of the beasts upon the lands
I saw harmony in the chaos, peace in the atmosphere
I saw how that all the time He was always there.
Never in the way, no, He was just watching.
Waiting for the day, that I'd stop blocking...
Blocking him from my life, blocking out the light,
Only heeding the darkness, the plagues of the night

And so I tell you all, open up to the One,
Who not only framed the heavens, and the worlds
But has mended broken hearts, and has healed a many of hurt souls.
You may not think he's available to you,
You may think he doesn't care.
But as he was for me, I can tell you, He's near
It doesn't take you being perfect, nor being okay
It just takes a heart willing to believe, that Jesus will save the day. ☺️
He's been here from the beginning
And he'll be here until the end
So I guess we'll both be here, 😊 waiting for you to accept Him in!


You may be going through a lot, in this day and age, I know you most likely are. But let go today buddy, and know that God is never far!

Yasahiro!

Our governments are failing us
While our law enforcement slays us
Life tries to kill us
Yet our medical system won't help us

All over the land,
people cry out in despair.
Looking for a helping hand,
For someone that will truly care!

They cry out in song,
And they cry out in prayer...
For a heart that will love them
They're searching every where!!!

There are struggles each day
And many are without hope
Some turn to addiction,
While others "cut" to cope.

It's a pain I know as well
For I have my dark nights too.
So I will reach out to whomever I can
Until the sun shines again for you!

This is my decree, this is my life
To help a wounded soul
Find their way back to the light.

I will sit with them in the darkness
And encourage them to look up
Showing them that there's a way
Though the journey may seem rough

For even in the darkest nights
There's still a beauty to behold
And there's still a warm heart
To love you when it's cold.

This is my legacy, it will forever be my oath
To serve and protect...
To encourage you as your coach.
And not only I but those here with me
Yes, the ones I call family
They will be there when I'm not
To see you and your loved ones through
Because we are Yasahiro, that is what we do!

A message from TY

In this life we will gain and we will lose
We will love, and unfortunately we will be abused
We will walk with our heads held high
And some days we'll be saddened and all we can do is sigh

This is a crazy life, full of laughs and full of tears
But if you can just hold out
You'll see the beauty of it all in each passing year
I may not be there to physically hold your hand or lend you my shoulder
But just remember Dashi is always in your corner


This is me and I'm here for every one of you!
You are my family so it's my pleasure to see you through!

With love,
    ~TY

A Goodnight Poem

(Just thinking of my future love with this one)

You may have never known this,
Though I have tried to prove it from the start
I have always admired and adored
How you were able to capture my heart

How you were able to fight through the pain
And overcome the obstacles,
How you were able to dance in the rain
In the midst of hatred you were yet unstoppable

How you smiled when you were broken
And I still saw the light in your eyes
How you were able to encourage others in their storms
Yet you were hurting deep inside

I sat back and marveled, how you could be so strong...
Yet it seems like only I knew, that you've been struggling for far too long

So I would like to offer you a gift
I sincerely hope you won't refuse
I wish to offer you this
Something I know you'd never abuse

It's small yet full of love,
Constantly and steadily working;
Often it gets excited, yet it's always yearning

To be yours, once and for all,
To be yours through and through
I wish to offer my heart full of love
And for a chance to take care of you!

To be your strength when you're weak
Your comforting arms when you're tired
The gentle voice that whispers "baby it's okay
When life gets you wired...

Allow me to be your masseuse
When stress has you tensed,
And when all the world seems to be against you
I'll stand and be your defense


All of this I wish for you, asking for only one thing in return
That you would look at everything that has shaped you, and see that it was only to help you learn

How to be a great woman, a cut above the rest
Fit for a king, fit for the best :)

I love you with all my heart, and I hope you love me so
I just wanted to say that, before off to sleep I go!
