Karen Jones Poet Couplet

God’s Grace

Lemon lips with sour words
Meant to clip wings of birds

Don’t be changed by the game
Press on the same use your brain

Keep your walk just as tall
Even if you fall roll like ball

Get your footing stand again
Be who you are all is God’s plan 

Bullies come and bullies go
Don’t be afraid to rock and roll

You stand up so they put you down
All eyes see who is the real clown

So if you’re in a hard place
Remember that you are not a mistake

Courage is real and that’s what it takes
To live authentic within God’s grace

Duke Beaufort January 16, 2025 at 9:22 AM Karen, lovely to celebrate our existence and to feel proud of who we are. I have been noticing there are several men who seem to be super macho, and they don't care about how any one else feels. As you say, they are the real clowns. They need counseling or a sentence in a poor community to build some empathy. If they try to take advantage, they should be sent to a remote island! There's no place for bullies in a peaceful world. Karen Jones January 16, 2025 at 12:03 PM I agree with you wholeheartedly Duke!
