Best Go The Extra Mile Poems


Premium Member When You Float In Outer Space
When you float in outer space
with no one else around,
it gets a little lonely
and you start to miss the ground.

The familiar touch of Mother Earth
and friends to share the news,
is the kind of isolation
that can give someone the blues.

But you don't have to be in...

You always bring a smile to my day,
expressing your love in every way.
And I bask in the warmth of that smile
every time you go the extra mile.

When wishes get cast onto moonbeams,
hope embellishes fanciful dreams.
And passion's internal flames begin
to ignite desires that burn within.

When I'm...

I Was Young When I Left Home
t'was a splendid night and I'm feeling hopelessly unknown 
 had a good old time, just a reeling with stories to be told
          now the paint is running out if the frame

Towards Deaths Door and Back
I hope this letter, to you, a stranger 
Becomes a letter to a friend 
As we travel on this journey to its end
Yes we’ll start off as mere strangers
Trying to share the selfsame track
And what matter, if you stray a little
For I'll just lift you...

She Is Altruistic
She is altruistic
Always taking care of others
Brightening everyone's day
Nothing but love that she smothers
She shines like a beacon
Always willing to go the extra mile
Very conscientious at what she does
And possesses a heartwarming smile...

  where neighbors all go the extra mile
I've heard of a place where folks of all races

Be Kind

Billy, let’s be kind
Good hearts we’ll find
Let’s renew our minds
We’ll make merry and dine
It will all be fine
Hey!
Do not check the time!
I have no desire to hear the clock chime
There’s no hurry
I’m not sorry
There is too much pain
So many insane
Oh! How pretty the world would...

How I wish to renew and set my life in order. 
In this season, I wish to make life’s dimensions broader
I am eager to cast my past behind and embrace a new way.
In whatever I do, let my conscience have the final say.

As I grow...

Wearing a Hat
A hat can hide a head that's bald
Or one with unwashed hair.
It often makes the wearer feel
That he or she has flair.

Protection from the sun or rain
A hat can, too, provide.
The wind won't get to tresses
When a cap's tucked them inside.

Of late, I've started sporting...

Will Someone Stand Up For Jesus
Who Will Stand Up For Jesus???

I've heard of those who say they're "happy and gay."
Where are those who proclaim; "Jesus is the only Way?"

I've heard of many who discuss creation vs. evolution.
Where are those who proclaim Jesus is the solution?

I've heard of many who chose...

The queen of queens
I praise you,

You always go the extra mile

If I could I would kiss you all night,
And treat like my princess.

Entrepreneur At Heart
Hundreds of hours for a moments exposure,
When so many doubt you passion lifts helps composure,

Make sure shop looks fit, 
nice and neat,
Bottles straight, 
service cant be beat

Customers walk in
always greeted with JOY
Go the extra mile
No strings attached or extra ploys,

40 hour workweek?
Haha, that's for wimps,

Simon was a happy elf
Who always wore a smile
One of Santa's best elves
Willing to go the extra mile.

With trousers of green, tunic red
And a bright yellow bobble hat
Simon whistled a happy tune
While at his workbench he sat.

Answering letters to Santa
From all the girls and boys
Stamping...
