~ You Give Me Joy ~
( Ameri- Ku )
You give me joy each day
In my eyes you're great
Your hearts beautiful
No one is like you
I dream of you
That's all I do.

(Ameri-Sonnet)
God's planning something for you
Right now He is at your side
Nothing is hard for Him too
In bad times He'll be your guide
Always keep love faith peace hope
Give problems to him you'll see
He'll rescue you, help you cope
With Him anything can be
He knows you and cares for you
Best for you He has in mind
God loves you and that's so true
Seek and His grace you can find
Read God's Word and you can grow
He's our Savior and that's so.

~Author's Notes:
"Ameri-Sonnet" is a poetry style created by Richard W. Jenkins.
The hope is high,
The mind of our nation is in sight,
Words of few ignite,
Our vision is dimm with fright,
My people, My blood, My friends, and the ones I love know not to to hear,
What we know is what to fear,
My forefathers grew this garden,
My grandfathers fought for this nation,
My father help develope this land,
My generation has no plan,
I speak my words of concern,
My family wonders what to become,
Why not all sit and chat,
Let our land be free at last.
< amidst grass carpet he plays
long ears bushy tail white paws
nibbles bulbs munches away
poor little thing had some flaws
hides hair braided and despaired
didn't stop this little guy
thought to self this wasn't fair
bowed head and started to cry
nectar is what he had sought
on this hopeful days journey
not to be trapped or be caught
or carted off on gurney
Mister Nibbles came to play
In garden's bedding today
my head is full
my stomach: sick
my hands are made of lead
undermanned
underpaid
and surely overfed
