Trina Graves 1961
English spiritual poet
With my affirmation poems I take the old well-known poems and hymns, and re-write them as affirmations.
I, like many other people, have always loved certain poems since first hearing them. The famous Footprints In The Sand, Desiderata and Make Me A Channel have uplifted millions over the years, however, from the perspective of the Law of Attraction and claiming our true Divine power they lack Higher Vibrational qualities as some of their words focus on negative aspects.
Along with focusing on positivity, by re-writing them in first tense, and as much as possible using the words 'I AM,' the poems become affirmations. I like to call this collection of my poems 'Affirming The Classics.'

Based on: Amazing Grace (first verse)
by John Newton
Amazing
Grace, how sweet the sound
That
tuned my aural energy
I
once was lost, deafened by duality
But
now I hear the harmony of Unity
Amazing
Grace, how beautiful the sight
That
cleared my optical energy
I
once was lost, blinded by duality
But
now I see the vision of Unity
Amazing
Grace, how delicate the touch
That
bathed by cellular energy
I
once was lost, dis-eased by duality
But
now healthy in the Well-Being of Unity
Amazing
Grace, how delicious the taste
That
imbued my appetizing energy
I
once was lost, drip-fed by duality
But
now I partake the menu of Unity
Amazing
Grace, how fragrant the smell
That
permeates my olfactory energy
I
once was lost, clogged by duality
But
now I inhale aromatic Unity
Amazing
Grace, how Blissful the feeling
That
flowed, uplifting my vibrational energy
I
once was lost in Earth’s
dense duality
But
now my senses are Awakened in Unity

Wherever
I Am,
I remain calm and tranquil.
I
Am always at Peace
in the silence of my Heart.
I
accept all people just as they are.
My
Unconditional Love and Light
flows in Oneness.
I
speak my truth clearly with an open Heart
I
listen attentively to all the people I meet…
We
exchange our stories,
and always learn something
from
the experience.
My
energy of Love and Light attracts
only those on
the same vibrational Path.
I
appreciate those I perceive as having more
of
whatever focus I Am placing…
Their
Light shines before me,
as
I also shine my Light for others.
I
enjoy my achievements and my plans.
I
know everything always works out
for my Highest Good.
I
follow my passions,
so I Am guided to live
in
abundance, truth and joy..
working
alongside others
who walk the same Path.
I
thank and Bless all those who inspire,
in
all the diversities of life.
I
Am a Divine Being of Love and Light
I
see this in Everyone, and Everything,
as
Love is All-That-Is
I
gracefully change through the moments,
days
and years.
I
let go, and let God nurture me
in strength of Spirit.
I
Am of the Light,
therefore darkness is an illusion.
We
are all One,
so loneliness is an illusion.
I
am Kind, Gentle and Loving with myself,
and
all others.
I
Am a child of the Divine Universe.
I
Am as needed and precious
as the trees on Earth,
and
the Cosmos of stars.
The
Universe continually
unfolds and expands
for
the Highest Good of The-All.
I
Am at Peace with my own connection
and
perception of God.
I
Am contented knowing others will always
have
their own perceptions.
I
Am truly at peace in the Inner-Knowing
and
stillness of my Divine Soul.
My
powerful thoughts and beliefs
create my world.
I
Am living in a beautiful world of
Love,
Light, Wonder and Miracles.
I
Am perpetually happy,
because no matter what:
ALL
IS WELL.

Based on: Footprints In The Sand
by unknown
One
night I had a dream.
I
dreamed I was walking along a beach with the Lord.
Across
the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For
each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand;
one
belonging to me, and the other to the Lord.
When
the last scene of my life flashed before me
I
looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I
noticed that sometimes along the Path of my life
there
was only one set of footprints.
Then
I realized that it was when I moved closer to the Lord
and
our footsteps combined that I was happier.
These
were the times in my life I felt an abundance of
Love,
Gratitude and Peace.
The
Lord said to me:
“You
are My Beloved,
Precious child of
the Light.
I
Am with you now, and forever,
but
you always have freewill to follow your own Path.
My
footprints are there beside you, to guide you,
if
you choose.
No
matter what:
I
Will Always Love You Unconditionally.”
