Only Robert's mighty pen and personal encouragement
could possibly have inspired me to venture
beyond my more familiar Free Verse.
Thank you, Robert, for your great inspiration

Can find ‘Mad Molly Shaw’ using the poems
Tag at top of screen]

Get that firm grip

Get a firm grippe
or off the planet you'lle slippe

Then you’ll find you have 
Lots of space

Like a giddy Giraffe 
Don’t sit there an laugh

The airs getting thin 
In this place 

So:

Where do we come from where do we go?
The spirit does fly...

In this world of toil and strife
standing for Jesus no easy task
but He never said to would be
His strength’s sufficient when we ask

God has promised to be with us
in all of life both bad and good
He is our mighty strong tower
learn this well with right...

J-ust stand firm and strong, 
U-nderneath the sky above; 
D-on't let life's test derail
Y-our, faith, hope, and love.

S-tand firm and strong, 
A-llow not your ship to fail; 
M-ake your boat keep afloat, 
A-s you continue to sail.
R-ise up every time you fall, 
I-nstead of going...

The winds can blow,the earth can shake
   and floods can wash away
All things not rooted in God's love,
   they have no power to stay.

Build your house upon the Rock
   It is the safest place.
It is a firm foundation

Firm Land-


I don't know what they took
I don't care
what they left
And
what they stand for
but all
i care
i hold in my heart
in my faith
As a firm land
of my hope
Oh my home...

A young girlie with a nice pair of boobies
Also owned a lovely firm bootie
Sure didn't mind sharing

Spilled our coffee while gawking at this cutie

Give Thanks and Stand Firm

Should your high hopes be so cruelly lost
smashed so savagely by that very fickle fate
Do not give up your precious life to be tossed
upon heaps and dark mounds of festering hate

When your heart feels the thrust of such shame
steel your resolve...

It was a glorious, hot day soothed by the August's breeze; the town's copper bells
harmoniously chimed in their old, sturdy bell towers
as the band tuned to their festive sound with trumpets, trombones and marching drums. 
The large square resounded with thousands of voices,
a procession of...

The firm Filipino leader 
Lets his order be consistent

You were not perfect
But you were good.
You were decent
And I have only recently
Understood
The true meaning
Of that word
And what it can cost.
You were a man whose moral compass
Never seemed to falter,
Whose honesty would not alter
No matter what, in consequence, you lost.

You stood there quietly firm
Committed, through...
