I Love a Parade'

Yesterday was a holiday,
Complete with parades.
Fancy costumes and floats,
Had all meticulously made.

First came the color guard,
Bearing the flag of our nation:
A symbol of why we are having,
Such magnificent celebrations'

The next group to follow,
Was a most marvelous band,
Playing marvelous music,
In this most marvelous land.

The first of the floats,
Was so beautiful to see.
And 'twas followed by antique cars,
Driven by people who are free'

Next came many children;
An entire mob of flag-waving youth,
Whose enthusiasm never faded,
Along the entire route.

Will there be parades in Heaven?
Truth is, we are not told;
But we know we'll continuously worship,
The Savior of our souls.

Sure, Parades are enjoyable things to see.
But, will you join me in Worshiping Jesus throughout eternity?

Thank you Sweethert of P.S. Youhave always been there for your kind coments to me personally I appreciate it. Soon I will be on the radio station in New Hampshire as I am getting ready to plug my new book called Simply Spiritual, simply written, simply read. It conssist of 50 new unplublished poems. I intend to plug you as one of the other poets on the site, you have a great following that is well deserved as you are a rock and constant on the soup. May your works get attentiion that they truly deserve. Shortly I'm going to ask the members for support so as I can get the word of the Lord out, it won't be much a dollar donation untl I find a sponsor who will back my works as I have ten books finished and the finances are not there to publish, is it legal on the site to ask for help? If not then I'll find another venue, I am prepared to offer my future partner a 20% poart of my new business.
