Dreaming of 57 Chevy
the 1957 Chevy Bel Air was fine in every way
Full of chrome, her sassiness gave her enormous sway
Some people like red autos, but turquoise was so fine
At the age of eight, I wished this car was mine!
I understood cars like the boys did in town
This beauty pranced and danced, she was heaven bound
I still love

Number 57
wearing marabou foo foo
with a Whoville hairdo.
It's the latest fashion rave.
She split the game in two.
On a diamond sky stage
in her crimson-caped suit.
She captured the flame.
Love that shaped do.

17, 37, 57
Seventeen, thirty-seven, fifty-seven
Age has no bearing whatsoever
When it comes to a gorgeous young filly
As long as she's breathing, that's all us guys need
When the time we have left gets short
We must use the remaining time
To drink in all the beauty that life has to offer
At the risk of sounding like a dirty old man
Please excuse

No Title, Yet - 57
In a world with so much confusion,
It may be hard to know who you can trust.
With some faith, there’s only one conclusion:
Treat all people right and assume they’re just.
If you’re nice to everyone right up front,
Most people will give niceness in return.
For those who don’t, let me be rather blunt;
You should kill them with niceness

Translation of Platen's Sonnet Number 57
AC Benus translation of "O süßer Tod"
by August von Platen
O mellifluous death, who stiffens most men,
You've received but artless tribute from my tongue,
For often I've yearned for you since I was young,
And for the slumbers nothing can wake again.
You sleepers you, the ground covering deep when
The eternal lullabies lured and were sung
So you gladly shunned

Only God Knows the Answer - Isaiah 57: 1-2
God knows the future from its beginning
His eyes see all things in His sight
nothing is hidden from our creator
who works always perfectly right
I was married in my mid-twenties
to a lovely Christian girl Jean
her witness to me really changed me
giving me a bible to make me clean
Through Jean's influence upon me
answering my questions on scripture
pointed me

The Lord Is My Portion - Psalm 119: 57-64
What a blessed privilege to know
that I have a portion which is the Lord
the best part I could ever truly have
for He gives me His mighty strong sword
This sword is His mighty inerrant word
my life is secure when I keep it
Lord, with my whole heart, seek thy favour
keep your promise to me so I don't

'57 Chevy
'57 CHEVY
I've entered what's called my golden years,
But there's silver in my hair.
Is that the color of my setting sun?
If it is,
When did I get here?
My tattoos are all very faded,
Blurred lines running together.
My breasts don't sit high anymore,
And my arthritis forecasts the weather.
As I go about my days,
Carrying out the routines of life,
I

Kabir Ii 57
What are mental aberrations when in a deep state of meditation by focusing on rejecting all thoughts and senses, and allowing the body to exist autonomously?
To call them visions is to purely describe the minimalistic tangible visual evidence of the experience without regard to meaning and other sensual possibilities. In Genesis 40 of the

Sonnet 57 'How Deep the Stings That Make Men Mistrust Love'
How deep the stings that make men mistrust Love,
And women fly from comforts that Love brings,
And deeper is the poison in poisoned rings
That longing hearts refuse the thinking of.
There is no other station that can wound
As deeply, or as surely, as Love stabs
No other hook grabs deeply as Love grabs
And no lute, more than Love,

I Want To Be a 57 Chevy
I was born in the year of the greatest car and the biggest flop. The ‘57’ Chevy had personality and power along with class. The greatest flop, the Edsel had few sales; nothing spectacular to offer; not even style. I took this as a sign that I could be great or a

A Real Cry For Mercy -Psalm 57: 1
Be merciful to me O God
I claim your loving kindness
your promises steadfast and sure
take away my folly and blindness
For my soul take refuge in you alone
as no one else is able to rescue me
you are the great God as my redeemer
in your salvation boundless and free
And in the shadow of your wings
there are my protection
