The Ten Commandments of Love

To stand before the one I love
and tell her how much i care
To gently whisper in her ear
that I'll always be there
To give her things  like diamond rings
and play her favorite songs
To hold her hand and sit next to her
be with her all day long
To close my eyes and think of her
when she is away
To bow my head and clasp my hands
and for her fervently pray
When I'm alone I'm sure to phone
just to hear her voice
Impress her ear and make it clear
that she's my one and only choice
And when she bids me that I may
have her in wedded bliss
Then thank God for his kindness
for giving me all this

Premium Member Commandements of Love

To love is to be romantic,
From Gay Paris to the Antarctic,
Without romance there is no love,
Watery, lukewarm, a sort of!
Never take your partner for granted,
Or distance allow you to be parted,
For these love affairs are risky
Have your love near, and act briskly,
The two of you are an item forever!
Never go to bed angry,
Don’t want to be love hungry,
Be trusting and be trusted,
Don’t be unfaithful, you’ll get busted,
Lend an ear to a problem,
And your heart rate will blossom,
Have a picnic in your garden at night,
Whilst the moon is light and bright,
Go skating if young, bowling if older,
Do things together, becoming bolder,
Keep in touch with family,
They form a foundation for harmony,
Never think you will change him or her,
Be assured of that,
Right from the start!
These love commandments you must keep,
Your love will rise and definitely creep
Beyond our universe, infinitely steep!

The Ten Commandments of Self-Sabatoge At Work -Try To Avoid

1O. Shut your trap to avoid any flap
9. Do not be overly fraught by "conventional thought" (dinosaurism)
8. Know how to deal with Soylent Green People 
7. Stuff your ideas and different views-tip toe on the softest of shoes
6. Paperwork and procedure (I know) one can't bumble...doing so will make ya really humble
5. That being said, just go with the herd...bite your tongue people!  Don't say a word!
4. Don't think too much-like we did...that special group without computers as a kid
3. If number four applies to you, don't question the almightly computer (as I sometimes do)
2. Clever, innovative, challenging, and problematic...yes, DAMNIT!, sometimes it pays to be 
erratic
1.  You are not a weirdo, strange, or dumb...just follow the status-quo, and get the **** done

Ironic, yes; I am able to say this over the "net".  Contradictory, sure; technology is a
menacing lure.  Maybe good 'ol Ray Bradbury was right on the money, and this is all pretty 
darn funny.  Farenhieght 451, I think your day may come.  RIP books and innovation.


Ten Commandments

Thou art enjoined to enjoyment,
Exhorted to exultation.
Thy responsibility is to be responsive,
and impishness be thy imperative.


So cherish thy good cheer, 
And be not judicious in jubilation –  
Rather exude exuberance,
For to revel is a revelation, and
It is on pain of death that 
That thou art commanded to Live!

The Ten Commandments

(fact contest poem)

The ten commandments are easily broken
By those who should of known them well
It's been broken like bunch a broken wings
Like thieves and devil's and demons and malpractioners
They play they games like scorns and home weckers
Like miserable sinners who assume they way to happiness is by ruin another.
The ten commandments are easily broken
By those who should of known them well
For they do ,that's why the world is at it's hell.

Premium Member Memento on the Moon

Memento on the Moon, our demise that’s too soon—
since ancient moral laws, our reasoning had flaws.
The Ten Commandments bold, the wisdom of old told,
its light spread in a rush, but now collective hush.
Man’s creation will bloom, like destructive mushroom 
casts the atomic streams over our shattered dreams.
Echoes of progress vast – tyranny’s shadow cast,
encapsulated whim in firmament now swim.
The paradox of Man of should he if he can,
or must he heed balance between greed and lost glance?

Two Greatest Commandments

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” NIV.

Two Great Commandments

We must praise God with our total being;
With newfound faith in Him are believing;
Yourself forget;
In neighbors let;
Help those in need who will be grieving.

God's Ten Commandments

To get closer to God, we must attend Church and pray.
And there are Ten Commandments everybody must obey.
We must live the way that Jehovah wants us to live.
When we are wronged by people, we must forgive.
If we put God first, Heaven is where we'll go.
God's Ten Commandments are listed below:

1. You shall have no other Gods before me.
2. You shall not worship idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy.
5. Honour your father and mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's things.

Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments


Why are these stones 
So important they say
Do we really need them? 
Let us remove them from display


It's more than just old engraved stones
That we place upon our walls
 It was written by the finger of God
 It established our Constitution
It's the foundation of our Laws


We must always guard this Landmark
Never allow them to take them away
Write them upon the post of our house
Write them upon the gates and highway


Write them upon the table of our heart
We must teach them to our children
And diligently pray


 Our land is filled with violence
 Crimes floods the streets
 Why Because we have forsaken
   The laws that made us free.


 America! Bring prayer back in our schools
 Let's let God's Law be the Golden Rule
 Yes, we need the Ten Commandments
 Let us not be a Fool

Past Tense

I could make excuses
Or claim I was possessed
But fact would find its way out
Of duplicity confessed

So I will speak those truths
Clandestine in my past
Although far from my first mistakes
I vow each one the last

I have worshiped money
My words have been profane
I have ignored the Sabbath
And caused my parents pain

I’ve smashed some helpless insects
Thought things much less than pure
I’ve pilfered things that were not mine
Because I wanted more

I’ve lied for no good reason
Desired someone’s spouse
I've longed for their possessions
And coveted their house

My excuse has been I’m human
An average bipedal fool
The Lord made only ten mandates
I’ve fractured every rule

Yet God is ever merciful
So I strive every day
To keep all Ten Commandments
Past tense is past… I pray

The Ten Commandments

We will have no other gods before you
We will worship you alone, adore you
For you're a jealous God
And we love you Lord
So we obey and give our selves to be yours
We won't take your name, O God, in vain
But our purpose is to praise and proclaim
And the Sabbath Day
We'll keep it holy
We'll assemble ourselves with your saints
We will honor our mother and father
So we will live long and our lives will prosper
We will not kill
We will not steal
And we will not commit adultery
We won't tell a lie against our neighbors
We won't sow discord among our laborers
Because we love them
We will not covet
The things that you have freely given to us

And these are written in our hearts
Not on tables of stones
Through the Spirit of the Lord
When he refreshes these dry bones
He shows mercy to the children
Yes, to thousands of them
Those who love God above all else
Are those who will obey Him
And we will obey Him, we will obey Him, we will obey Him
Because we love Him, we will obey Him
We will love God above all
