Premium Member The Kirk By the Sea

John chapter 15 verse 12--- 
This is my commandment, 
That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
			~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s a wee Kirk overlooking the sea
Lowly and humble but special to me.
Inside is the font where I was baptized 
The aisle where I walked with joy in my eyes
The altar we faced when making our vows
With God watching o’er us, then as of now
The brilliant stained windows to Peter and Paul
Shedding their light of peace over all
There in the nave a white marble plaque
Honouring the ones who never came back
But of all of these pleasures that I want to share
Is the presence of love that waits for one there.

Ootcast Kirk

Aye and ’tis a bonnie glen

And for us the Laird’s enclave

Dinna fush the soldiers’ menace

‘Tis this moment that He gave.

And we gaither ‘neath the stars

And we tak the wine and bread

And we cleave with benediction

To each Word arr Saviour said.

This is Church

Mind not the dampness

And the laing hike to and fro’

For the Pastor of our choosin’

Meets us here, and helps us grow.

Though he lives just like an ootcast

With a price upon his head

He can still preach Heaven doon t’us

And we treasure all he said.

Sure ’tis hard times we endure

For the One King of our Kirk

Jesus, here, atop this hillside

And His glorious finished work.

And a lark flits kindly by us

And a sheep bleats out content

And we learn through sterling sufferin’

What the hunted Psalmist meant.

Hebrews 11: 38

(well spoken of the Scottish Covenanters of the mid 1600's)

Premium Member The Kirk Yard

This day is as peaceful to me, as the day has, been so long
As I listen to the birds singing just for me in their last song

Gone the summer’s greens, autumn’s leaves they descend
Critter’s out gathering their winter food, on it they depend

It is only times like this, to which I am at my most content
Memories which I hold within this Kirk yard only to me lent

So within the Kirk yard I get to see death’s glory at its best
As I read all the gravestone epitaphs, of those now, at rest

I can hear all the idle chatter; of those so unearthly ghosts
Saying to me you are welcome, as today we are your hosts

Peacefulness prevails here as only a kirk yard can ever give
As I enter another time frame, and to how folks used to live

Passed before my eyes, images of long ago to me displayed
That then disappear into the walls of the Kirk yard in a haze

Ghostly figures; stop to stare at me, in their own eerily way
Watching me, as I am dressed in clothes of the modern day

Silence, not one word spoken, fear this moment shall break
With every image captured within my own mind I doth take

A sun sets with a sad loneliness, laden under its own weight
With each gravestone whispering until I reach the iron gates

This kirk yard is now dampened with the coming of the night
Only it to flourish once more come tomorrow’s early sunlight

I, a soul so tired, and weary, as seen etched across my face
Passing beneath the gate lamp, it showers me with its grace

Won’t be long, before they as carry me through these gates
Where, I become a part of its wealth that just for me awaits

Premium Member Star Trek's Star: Captain Kirk Aka William Shatner

Captain Kirk, an adventurous guy,
flew through galaxies beyond earth’s sky
on an old sci-fi show
which was canceled although
crazy fans would not let Star Trek die!

First for having the Captain Kirk name,
William Shatner achieved certain fame.
Illusions can shatter;
though older and fatter,
Shatner still is a STAR all the same!

* William Shatner earned both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his quirky
role as Denny Crane and Emmy nominations until the end of the series
Boston Legal. Also he appears on numerous comedy and tv shows, does 
cameos, interviews, conventions, commercials, twitter, and book writings
and has a star on both the Hollywood and the Canadian Walk of Fame.

Premium Member The Ballad of Charlie Kirk

A Turning Point & Voice Lives On

In Arizona’s desert land,
A faithful son was born to stand,
With Scripture held within his heart,
God’s truth would be his counterpart.

At eighteen years, with courage true,
He launched a dream both bold and new,
To wake the youth from slumber deep,
And teach them freedom’s vows to keep.

From stage-to-stage, and state-to-state,
He proclaimed what makes our nation great,
With microphone and fearless voice,
He made defending truth his choice.

Like Jesus, who at thirty-three
Was killed upon Calvary’s tree,
At thirty-one, young Charlie fell
For speaking truths he knew so well.

A husband loving, father dear,
With Erika he held most near,
Two children blessed his faithful home,
Though duty called his heart to roam.

He taught us all to raise our voice,
To make bold courage our own choice,
“Stand up! Speak out! Don’t hide in fear!
Let freedom’s message ring out clear!”

Though silenced by an assassin’s hand,
His legacy spreads through our land,
In every voice he helped to find,
His boldness echoes in our mind.

So when we speak where Charlie spoke,
And lift high truth’s unbroken yoke,
His spirit marches on with us,
In Christ’s glory victorious.

The torch he lit burns ever bright,
In those who choose to stand and fight,
For God and country, truth and right—
Charlie’s voice lives on in light.

My Friend, Kirk Milone

Juicy Pineapples is his favorite 
fruit. 
That's why bright optimism 
runs deep within his roots .

He is long tan and handsome. 
Always expressing a unique 
personality that's awesome. 

You can find him working hard 
at Target or Starbucks. 
But to all the single women out 
there he is taken so it sucks!

He is a great friend and always 
wears his "Diamond" hat facing 
to the back. 
And I'm glad we met and I 
hope he stays black!!

Farewell, Charlie Kirk

Charles Kirk, conservative political activist, author, and media personality was assassinated in Utah on Sept 10, 2025

A world of common sense is stifled
A loss for all of us, indeed
Whoever killed him used a rifle
In vicious, vile, heinous deed

We knew him all and his compassion
Someone who spoke the honest truth
Defending freedom with a passion
And gifting hope to our youth

He may be gone, yet seeds he planted
Shall germinate and bear fruit
Ascend to Pearly Gates was granted
So sad his voice is now on mute

It’s one of those turning points
That twists the country on its head
Time shall make sense at this checkpoint
What we have lost with Charlie’s dead

Whoever did this want us chained
And walking left instead of right
May not this loss be their gain
Farewell, C. Kirk, one noble knight

Premium Member Galileo To Kirk

Mayday, Mayday Kirk!
Transport to Galileo
Needs energizing

Running on impulse
All deflector shields are down
And venting plasma

Possible core breech
Romulan battle cruiser
De-cloaked and attacked

They've taken the ship
Corbomite Maneuver may
Be the last resort...

A Final Tribute To A Good Friend:

We gather tonight just
a few of us souls to
join together at the
vigil we''ll hold

If strength is in numbers
then together we will ban
and with the burst of our
energy, we''ll plead to God
"spare our friend"

Don''t get us wrong Lord
we will understand if he
must go, and we thank you
for a lot of great memories
from a one man comic show

The Old Stone Kirk

The old stone Kirk set high on the hill
at the edge of a quaint old town
where it had set quiet for centuries
stoned faced in absolute silence
entombed in an ever present fog
which gave cause for chills to take hold
of all who pass by in their daily travels.

These walls, though silent now
still hold, incased within them
the sounds of the many and the few
who have visited this sanctuary
in times both good and bad
many births,deaths and marriages celebrated
before the final dying breaths of the town
insured the closing of the doors forever.

Silly Willie Ups a Dilly

The best 2021 perk
Was a space flight for Captain Kirk
An Enterprise
Where no one dies
Proving fantasy just might work

Premium Member CHARLIE KIRK: PATRIOT'S LEGACY

CHARLIE KIRK: PATRIOT’S LEGACY

A spiritual calling felt deeply and heard clearly
At a very young and tender age,
Drew him boldly to rise and stride
Upon a grand world changing stage.
Warm, laughing eyes so quickly to disarm you,
An intellect so strong it couldn’t help but alarm you,
His light was too bright, his voice was too strong,
His mission in life was to right an indefensible wrong.

Millions of young students had been purposely led astray,
Indoctrinated in a hate-filled and communistic way.
His solution and challenge were lovingly and bravely offered,
“Please Prove Me Wrong” was the mantra and freely augured.
Rarely could they best him and rise to the occasion
But they respected and loved him in ever growing populations.
Like Socrates, he debated; he asked and he answered,
Always uplifting and his faith in God shining through unhampered.

Humble and caring, he strode across the halls of power,
Serving his nation every day, every moment, every shining hour.
He proved to the students why conservative values and a God-filled life
Will save our country. America’s soul and our future is what is on the line.
Charlie understood this from the bottom of his heart and the depth of his soul,
And we are forever grateful that he shared it with millions before his time to go.
As the world stands weeping and the flags are flying at half mast,
Charlie is smiling in Heaven and he will have the last laugh.

What he started will not be forgotten.  We will never again back down.
Though our heart breaks for his passing, we know he’s on higher ground.
Our nation is worth fighting for is the lesson Charlie taught us.
Speak the truth of the greatness of our country and sovereignty of our people.
We are united and stand head and shoulders above the evil and ravages of this war.
Charlie now stands above it all and rests in peace forevermore.

Breaks my heart
his death today
the bullet was not signed
as is the Zionist way

A Palestinian child denied her right
to sign the death sentence
with Gods best wishes
another terrorist fades into oblivion

Now women shut up
and make babies, your only job
that was his message
Feminist's laughing, this fool a knob

All the women already in heaven
dancing with angels of empathy
and compassion
look down and laugh this pious clown

you live by the second amendment
you die by the second amendment
Jesus will never have to see you again
finally in hells fire, you are with your own
