87.
My 16th Leaf
Culled thee from nipa
Little manger roof
We call it “Belen”
By third year students
It's from a palm tree
My advisory
TED BEEd Three
Don't know who from them
But it's one of them
Who got and placed it
Third day January
Third day Twenty Twelve
Third day of the year
Of Water Dragon
About 8 AM
Roof of small manger
Back from one corner
Third years placed it there
With other decors
Character papers
Tolada of kind
The first one unrhymed
Got with two more leaves
Obtained the same day
While Xmas decors unfixed.

My Bonnie lass is sixteen now
Her birthday is today.
And for a husky that is old
I’ve heard our young vet say.
My dear old dog, we love her so
And glad that she’s still here.
Her routine every day is set
She’s trained us well each year.
A pup who loved to go for walks
I’d let her off the lead.
She’d run about, and proved to be
An independent breed.
We’ve watched her grow, she has great style
A husky through and through.
She loves to have our company
We spoil her, that is true.
A better friend could never have
Such joy to us she brings.
Although she’s old, still has her life
That pulls on our heart’s strings.
The years have flown, her time is near
No longer can she play.
But now she’s turned sweet sixteen,
“Bonnie Happy Birthday”.
Find city's hustle
Chased the perfect 16th hole
In quite surrounding.
The state of our world makes us grieve
wherever you look out, all are so sad
sometimes one thinks its never been this
but in the 1500s then it was just as bad
People living back then felt it too
being in such a disturbed state
they were so troubled in their mind
even then wondered why so much hate
God is rejected all over the world
especially here in the worldly west
being openly despised and rejected
His believers continually put to the test
The devil is at the heart of it all
planning and scheming evil's wickedness
his way reveals plotting to be anti-christ
seeking out those full of idleness
John Calvin lived in the 1500s
seeing and knowing such a troubled time
a stalwart for God's eternal truths
take heart from his godly principled rhyme
(Quote:
"When we see the world in such a disturbed state, our minds are deeply troubled by the fact that there are many who openly despise God, and who seems to have plotted with the devil to indulge in every kind of evil".)
John Calvin (1509-1564)
Today marks a milestone
Highlighting life's style shown
A classy, sophistication few women have ever known
An aura shining brightly that is all her own
No longer a child, into a woman she has grown
All the beauty, grace, & intelligence she has shown
Prepares her for the day she must stand on her own
Does she realize she will never face this world alone?
A mother's love is a strength that is written in stone
Forever, will a mother's bond remain a skipping stone
Guiding her daughter as she journeys into a world unknown
An elegant lady transcends from the childhood she has outgrown
Like a mighty Queen sitting atop her ornate throne
Anywhere is everywhere, captivating all places through which she has blown
An Angel, she rises above the challenges out of which she has flown
On a pedestal she will forever emanate radiance outshone
Destynee, an alluring beauty the world has never known

mr and mrs merlin meow the sixteenth were on the brink
of letting Kansas City High Society know what they think.
the star put their photo on the front page with a link.
each of them dressed to the nines, holding their favorite drink.
those two do not think that their prissy litter boxes stink!
sniffed their gardener, a put-upon python wearing bright pink.
look at her, she’s such a back-stabber, a gossip, a fink!
yelled his wife Priscilla, with a sassy sashay and a slippery slink.
Take not for granted mercies near and dear
nor cede to a careless pride, but rather
incline yourself to elemental care
and honour true your mother and father.
All I ask from the sinews of my heart
is not live a fool and think yourself wise,
and that our two swords never smite apart
or we laud ourselves too far in God’s eyes.
Fear not this life, this world, this mortal end
for both its burdens and rewards are great -
follow its road wherever it may wend
and I hence from shall on your return wait.
With all I am I’ll love the son you are
no matter how old, how close, or how far.

Today is Friday
Weekly congregation day
For Mohammedan
But masjid is closed
Big lock hanging on it's door
No devotee there's
Staying home safe now,
Unity of devotee
Dangerous for all
God not only there's
'God is everywhere' again
The virus teaches
God can hear all true prayer
If praying surrenders all
God, doctors, scientists
Not for specific creeds, caste
The virus teaches
God won't be with us
If discrimination rules
Our belief and life
Covid-nineteen teaches it
To save our beautiful world

not trying to be
mean if 12/16
means some
thing of any
thing to
you
i just happen to be
happening along
happening to be
writing a poem
and that's all
no need for sailing
on this analysis
but december
seas seem
to be a bit
upsetting
upchucking
uncontrollably
unnecessarily
undertakingly
and our lack of
vitamin D has
got something
to Do with what's
being Done
ain't no sun
you can try
to part the
sky by your
words but it
don't work
that way if
you're a
brother
you'll say
amen
amen
but again
this isn't
supossed
to be no
miracle to
heal or serve
you were just
asking for the
sun but i want
you to define
what beauty
is and keep
in mind what
it isn't
then
perhaps
after years
you will come
from out of
your cave
and know
not to try
to save
someone

Still winter season today
We don't tolerate cold, take today
Hard more than warm sunny has too be
We didn't bore still today
We shall hoist the flag in public.
Literature has escaped from the gust
Literature of the new agreement, both floor
All language culture show.
Legs then gave out the grass we bend
A small drop of dew from water to revived,
Today our hope has an open heaven
Where the narrow range won't expect.
O greet persons
O bore can't ambassadors
O heroes
O martyrs
Today we are the only flight leg to bend grass
From Grass bend water sprinkle peace to you today.
You people's soul has been happy
You people's learned philosophy
Ever lasting for live.
Bodo goes live
Bodo culture live
Bodo literature be open
Win would be the mother of the bodos.
These times way back in 16th century
when at the reformation’s heart
God’s hand was showing itself so real
the power of the Lord evident in no small part
There in Geneva capital of the Swiss
living there on French borders east side
the church of God had great influence
in politics, education, morally crossing the tide
Great opportunities in hearing true preaching
men of God like Calvin, Zwingli and Farel
such a blessing received from God above
this hit my heart like a pierced arrow
There it was marvellous to see such change
within the corridors of power so great
law’s brought in for good of the people
the divine will purposed fulfilled senate
Such a feast of real spirituality
to dwell there among it all
this indeed heaven upon earth
made one feel like apostle Paul!
August 16
I’ll never forget that special Monday,
When a message from you came my way,
It started off just the same,
Until I saw it wasn’t a game.
I gave you my heart,
Right from the start,
Don’t get me wrong I was thrilled,
This love was something I helped build.
Then I knew something was wrong,
Something was there that didn’t belong,
Then came the words “I can’t have you,”
But I knew right then it wasn’t true.
Soon enough you will see,
You will always have me.
