Premium Member What Have You Done
Dear humans, do you read me, I live in space,
Merely a being, sent by God, I'm all over the place.
I circle the world, live among debris,
You leave behind, you ruined your planet,
Now you want to go to Mars, so that you can
Pollute that planet in...

A Woman's Work Is Never Done
"A Woman's Work Is Never Done",
a phrase that's often heard.
There's a lot of truth that's hidden,
just in those few words.

She has to cook and clean the house
and get her youngsters off to school.
She does the laundry and the shopping
and teaches kids the "Golden Rule".

She drives...

Premium Member When Day Is Done
Whispers of sunset
     Carry on wings of evening birds
     Rising moon awaits wolfs’ howls

Sundown serenade
     Crickets chant their scratchy song
     Hooting gallery comprised of owls

Phantoms awaken

This Cowboy's Done
I'll ride with you awhile, my friend
Until the wind turns cold.
I'm not as young as I once was -
Just feelin' kinda old.

I used to ride straight to the storm -
"Weather be damned", I'd say.
I'd yell an' cuss at wind unseen
An' ride 'til end of day.

I'd...

Premium Member Been There Done That
(Coming Back Home)

Crimson sunsets trickled beyond the moor
Opulence of one’s youth a mindset forever stays,
Miracle of homely birthplace the lure
Inspired by non-forgotten special days.
Neon lights above the door lost their glitter
Garish gowns grew tired torn and tatty,
Bothersome marriage a divorce turned bitter
Asylum that sends a...

Premium Member A Good Deed Well Done
Those good deeds can be done by all,
By young or old, by short or tall.

A smile may be the very thing
That makes a shriven heart to sing.

A tender hearted, richer man
Who writes a check because he can

Is no more blessed than is the one
Whom a...

Premium Member A Woman's Work Is Never Done - For Contest
My alarm clock was set to go off at eight
When I lurched out of bed oh heck I was late
Forgot to move on the clock for an hour
I was late for work – no time for a shower
I dashed to get dressed at the speed...

Job Well Done
Job Well Done

Momma, when you died I ask God 'Why'
He answered me quickly 'HER JOB IS DONE'
I started to cry pleading out to God
'That's my mother and I love her Dearly'.
God simply wispered close to my ear
'That's my child and I love her Dearer'.
I did'nt...

Premium Member Until Time Is Done
For Timothy Lee, the best of me
Eyes meet over sips of morning coffee;
Warmth travels thru both my body and heart,
While you couch-settle around and near me.
I value sharing a perfect day’s start.

I enjoy each fun, twosome adventure;
Hands clutched in the dark, entering a park
Where night...

Premium Member Not My Will But Thine Be Done
"Not my will, but thine be done".
Though his mortal flesh was weak,
Yet these words God's only Son
In his darkest hour did speak.
True obedience demands
That we oft repeat this prayer -
Doing all the Lord commands,
Giving him our every care.

Like the prodigal, my choice
Is to fly to...

I'M Done!
We’ve had our differences in the past,
But I always tried to work through them.
We’ve had our little fights before,
But I always said sorry.
We’ve had our  disagreements previously,
But I always saw your side.
Well I’m done!

I’m done working through them.
I’m done saying sorry!
I’m done seeing your...

Premium Member Oh, Lord, What Have I Done
The glamorous uniform looked sharp in the posters about town.
Recruiters convinced the lad to join the Marines of great renown!
Reveille called, sergeants screamed, another tortuous day had begun!
He cried, "Lord, have mercy on me! What in the world have I done!"

The giddy lad proposed marriage...

Premium Member Not My Will, But Thine Be Done
We like sheep have gone astray
from the path the Lord has willed -
each has turned to his own way
and for such, Christ's blood was spilled.

Asking, "Father fashion me
in the image of thy Son”;
may my sole petition be,
"not my will, but thine be done"....

What Have I Done
Looking back on yesterdays
days of dying almost crying
Not so long ago I lay
looking for another day
doubtful times though they were
I looked forward for what was in store
And coming closer to the end of the road
I believed I had reached the final goal

Prepared to meet God...
