Best Bring To Poems
It lies with it's kin in the bag they live in, collectively known as a 'float',
not quite sure why that's so but there's one thing I know
and that's they've never been near a boat.
They hustle and clatter , skins not coated in batter, in different hues, green, yellow, red,
there's a blue one, poor thing with a twisted wire spring
that's unused, I assume that he's dead.
From a hook under the stairs they will come out in pairs
although sometimes they will hunt in threes
when bedsheets they attack, or their jaws may just crack
as it fights them all off in the breeze.
If encountering a red one, for sure, you're a dead one,
it nips at your fingers and toes,
and when the timing is right it's a horrible sight on the tip of a young child's nose.
I can honestly state that they sometimes migrate
not a lot, since they always get caught,
but please take it from me, that I can guarantee on washdays you are always one short.

There was a serene beauty prevailing around her as she everyday trod the path to work.. She looked so absorbed in her own thoughts that one might not spot the mysterious and cloudy stare into her eyes..
She knew her way to home and work by heart.. she seemed to be in a perfect tune with time and place.. all her movements appeared to be synchronized with the tempo of the sounds surrounding her..
Such a harmonious living human being! If only one could step into her world and bring to light her hidden and silent life!
Of those who watched her from afar would think of her a beauty of no core.. a blend of pathos and an unusual feel.. For those who crossed her path and nodded and smiled a friendly hello would neither see nor hear a greeting feedback!
Such an endearing youth! If only one could receive the full force of her inner warmth and smiles!
At work, no single unusual twists in her regular routine except for one bright day when a newly hired colleague, dripping with infatuation, approached her and dared looking into her non blinking eyes :
“ When I look into your eyes I see a life of hope and love we can share together.. “
He could see her articulating : “ Would you please step closer and repeat what you have just said so that I can see you and decrypt your words? “
Each living being
an abundance of powers

Sunlight
in the shadows,
sliver lining the cloud-
forgiveness heals with whispers said
aloud
Like brilliant waterfalls do,
peregrinating down-cascading
themselves about them in their
glorious way upon the humble
streams as they-go, joyful is
the soul trammeled grateful
the heart the mind hopeful -
its greater desire for
freedom moving-it-a-
ways-farther-beyond the-
staleness of its-same tiered-old-
prison - love opening the door -
full of God's goodness the crispness
of the air its pureness rushing in to
greet it -
its mundane life renewed as it
were now - being made secure.

Author notes
3 poems written 1 year ago. I decided to form them individually today here: 10th Dec 2010.
Formed as I brought them from another site from their original forms as they are there. Was
curious while in the midst of forming; noticed they would as I had formed them fit together.
Had no idea they would fit this way together as they have now. Hence the name given for the
poem in thank you, for: "God's Goodness", because it is He that was the inspiration, as well the
Guide/Mastering of the hands that formed them. Thank you for reading. Their names are as
follows as I brought them formed them: A Permanent Home, I'm Feeling Sick Today Let's See
What and How Much I Can Bring to the Table, The Longing. I Had no idea I was forming a
candle.
I invite you to read: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/poems_by_poet.aspx?ID=6883

Will Bring To Sing With
Each time before we start to sing
A great voice will always bring
With us than can be enjoyed
Not be bad and people annoyed.
Tenors tremendous always are
Real, true sign of a raising star
And bases great are becoming
With each other will be chumming.
Message seems to be caste in stone
What they really need is a baritone
What chorus does have tonight
Are sopranos singing out of site.
We should try to get more specific
All of the altos are always terrific
Oh and we forgot wonderful organist
We cannot resist from a long list.
Congratulations great choir who will
be singing at 1030 PM Christmas Eve.

Bring To Senses
We should bring him not
To knees but to his senses
For peace to obtain.
Just heard that an Admiral
had said this about North
Korean leader.

Bring t’me seed of darkness special,
I’ll from dawn, of brightness special.
Thoughts crowd the mind dressed as special,
Some more so, some are less special.
What to wear, what not’s worth weighing,
In merit, one’s dress is special.
In today’s times of power and puff,
No less is one’s address special.
Bring to me a man bogged with blame,
Confess he’ll, goodness is special.

"Push!" the head is crowning.
I know you feel you're drowning.
The pain is excruciaiting.
Blood pressure is fulminating.
It's do or die, no time to cry.
"Pant!" the head is born.
Don't push now I warn.
Or you will be torn.
Baby wrapped up warm.
Crying the moment
you're born "Hush!"
Mamma's here my dear.
As I pass the bundle.
For mother to fondle.
A job well done.
The world is filled of great people
It has been written in many histories
Now it’s time for us to reveal
All you need to do is to unravel yourself
Then you will find a power you’ve never knew before
That you can bring peace to the world
Every possibility is policy
Expressed your mind with the magic of love
Ignited your heart with the power of faith
Let’s create a new earth
Covered with love and harmony
Are you with me?

Key Verse – Leviticus 16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail.
FAITH IN GOD WHO INVITES US
TO BRING TO HIM OUR HANDS OF SERVICE
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service by His grace
As we turn away from idolatry’s rays
For us to remain in His righteousness along His holy ways
And be victorious by faith in our stewardship days.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service since He is our Lord
As we abide in His will according to Scriptures’ record
For us to overcome curses with His divine sword
And be glad by faith around His love’s strong cord.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service through His authority
As we seek His forgiveness for our trespass and iniquity
For us to express our praises of sincerity
And be peaceful by faith in honouring Him with our humility.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service for His name
As we close our eyes from evil along tempting fame
For us to face His sanctifying flame
And be purified by faith from wickedness’ shame.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service in His mission
As we share with others His compassion
For us to stay zealous along His persuasion
And be cooperative by faith in the fulfillment of His great commission.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service for His glory
As we draw nigh to Him always in prayer against worry
For us to offer our best, involved in His ministry
And be consecrated by faith to win with His infantry.
God invites us to bring to Him our hands of service with His anointing
As we trust Him to help us along His uplifting
For us to flee from worldliness’ tempting
And be courageous to continue despite fainting.

BRING TO LIFE
Oh, Lord I trip and fell on my face;
This God circumstance
Makes me feel out of place
Is there an escape, you've givin' me grace
Oh, God you've shown me the light.
You Lord told me everything alright
Even tho, I've committed sins
You're the only one who wins
I am your child, and I'm forgiven
You Oh, Lord God you bring to life
I'm in this world, but not of this world
This world thinks I'm dead
Because I won't parktake of the sinfulness
Lord, you LIFT ME UP
Shown me the light.
You BRING ME TO LIFE.
And you tell me everything gonna, gonna be alright
My clothes went from black to red to white
Now everything with a confession, with grace
Everything now alright
My God INSPIRE ME... MOVE ME
You bring to life, you makes everything alright
You bring to life
Oh, God you've Showed me the light.
You Lord told me everything alright
Even tho, I've committed sins
You're the only one who wins
I am your child, and I'm forgiven
You Oh, Lord God you bring to life
You've INSPIRE ME..and MOVE ME
You help me, you bring to life
