Best On Bended Knee Poems
Creator of heaven and earth
whose Son was born of virgin birth
one God, a trinity of three,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
Lord of kindness, mercy, and love
hailed on Earth and Heaven above
whose eternal spirit runs free,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
You gave life to clay with Your breath
God of birth, youth, old age, and death
You, who are everything to me,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
My Lord, in both spirit and truth,
You entered my heart in my youth
answering my impassioned plea,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
Lord, You're my reason for being
and I believe without seeing
shouting hallelujah with glee,
on bended knee, I worship thee.
On bended knee
I hope you know
Of how much I feel
my heart bestow
For now I offer
my hand my love
a golden band
and pure white doves
Perhaps you'll arrive
in princess carriage
what ever you want
the perfect marriage
Through happiness
and sickness too
I've one true love
and that is you
So if you'll say yes
and marry me
through all my days
I'll cherish thee
NONE OF THE BRAVE
NONE OF THE HONORABLE
NONE OF THE ABOVE
Look around at what you have, everything in life
thousands upon thousands died, trying to end the strife
While some at home (were raised to hate) some raised with honor and pride
so many times a doorbell rang, their loved one's lost (they cried)
This went on for many years (a hundred plus at best)
for you (so you could play your games) our soldiers laid to rest
The faith in side them kept them going, all this for our FLAG
while some at home would turn away, on knee their tails just wag
Soldiers didn't run or hide or get down on one knee
they stood their ground (Round after Round) just for you and me
They fought hard and died for you, while you played hard to win
never once in all the battles did they know (the color of your skin)
Courage, Bravery, (you wouldn't know), but without a second thought
you for "MILLIONS" fought for "yards" "for our FLAG our soldiers fought"
Joy
Tears fall
smile appears
What a surprise
Yes!
Attempting a new style.
awareness of what she had done
liberated tears, one by one
memories flooded her musing
sorrow struck for what she’d be losing
her vision began to blur
her words no more than a slur
“how did I get to this point”?
a moment, she could not appoint
where there was hurt, she felt numb
her core felt vacant like a drum
eyelids curtain, all became dark
nothing now but a question mark
“will God forgive and welcome me”?
I pray He will, on bended knee

For Paula's CONTEST "...and with a sip"
Know that I worship you on bended knee;
with kisses, too, I prize your tempting breasts
and maiden-head which begs me to molest
your virgin sex so deep and lustfully;
for each fine breast I'd give one-thousand years,
but more will I give for that pubic crest
of yellow wires that conceal the rest,--
(belovéd, I'd give an age for those frontiers!).
If I can give a kingdom for your heart
and love upon more love then be it so,
for possessing the best of you apart
from zeal invites only misery and woe:
a prince I'd rather be and just depart
from your globe than grieve you so, this I know.
I am a Veteran proud and true, hundreds of thousands just
like me served for the Red White and Blue
To protect all you Haters So You Can Hate America
Proud Parents, these are the "Role Models" for your children
Not a true word (BENDED), but it's fitting for the narrow minded
Kneeling for the National Anthem? I bet they feel so proud
what brave men they've grown to be, disgraced before a crowd
Some people do not realize, What National Anthem means
Those that "thumb their nose at it", insult us so it seems
Following like a bunch of sheep, the blind they lead the blind
trying their best to instigate, flag hunting soon they'll find
Yet they'll honor flags of hate, and to them, that's okay
NFL and all the rest just smile then look away
Spectators are so confused, "I've paid, what should I do?"
afraid to walk out and be tagged, a racist Red White Blue
Our president the only one that voiced a true reply
different reasons for the kneel he caught them in a lie
They have a flag they're going to wave, (the protesters) we mean
Their goal? Replace the American Flag with "stupidity" we've seen
Stop the "Anthem" coming soon, and so our Flag some day?
Destroy our Country is their goal, if they can find a way.....
As a child my father taught me how to pray,
on fields of green and sun filled day.
I bow down on bended knee,
out stretched hands for God to see.
Dressed for battle I search my heart,
my spirit, my soul, my body take part.
I praise and worship the great I am,
for in his presence resides the lion and the lamb.
I cry aloud, for heaven I breach,
the lost and the broken within my reach.
As a child my father taught me how to pray,
on fields of green and sun filled day.
On Bended Knee
By Franklin Price

On bended knee, I ask you, will you be my Valentine?
Say yes, and I'll be happy, if you will still be mine.
These years we've spent together, been so glad to have your hand.
And while I'm here, on bended knee, I'd like to thank the man.
I know he brought you to me, could not have found you on my own
Had seen the ways, it should not be, when other seeds were sown
Roads that we have traveled, mostly good, but sometimes rough.
I thank the Lord, you've stayed with me, and never cried enough!
I could go on forever, but I'm old, my knee is sore
Please say yes and I'll be happy, to get off this hardwood floor
Could not resist, to put that in, just a little joke of mine
But it's not a joke, when I ask you, will you still be my Valentine?
My wish for everyone, on this Valentine's Day 2016. is that you have someone in your life that makes you as happy as my wife, Barbara, makes me in mine
Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Time as ever
acts the thief
quieting youth
color of leaf.
Ironic paradox
always unfailing
takes the feeble
heals the ailing.
Dead of night
time acts content
under the moon
and its descent.
Seems so languid
but cleverly sly
time acts the foe
coming to spy.
Within the gray
on bended knee
whispers endless
as it tolls three.

One two three, how I love thee
Before you, I plead on bended knee
Mine's from above
An undying love
Please send me yours, it's my fervent plea
I come to thee on bended knee
Praying my beloved thou wilt be
Entry for Kim Rodriques' "A Valentine Crystalline" Contest
I raise myself up and dust my self off
Getting ready to stand once again.
I'm ready I say, to stand and build
As i kneel to the floor and I pray.
Building alters day in and day out,
it's what I know to do,
It's all in the hope that one day not too long,
you Lord will come through.
Each day i believe and I hope and I stand
and most days it's always the same,
there is not enough in the bank he says
and I find myself self in position again.
As faith grows smaller than a mustard seed,
I will hold on with all that I have
and I will dust my self off and
get ready again because on my knees
is where I will stand
I hope and I pray as night turns to day
hoping this day will be different,
wolves claw at the door, and i kneel once
more trying to build my alters of hope again.
It seems day and nights get harder and harder,
but faithful I will be to the end,
no matter the trial, heart break or torture,
you will find me dust off the dirt ,kneel to the ready,
standing on bended knee once again
I know you are faithful, Lord they tell me you are and
my own eyes have witnessed the truth,
so I know what to do because i will fight for the truth,
when I've been knocked down by hardship and terror.
I know what my mission will be,
I will stand up and bend down
take my position on the ground,
as I hope in you on bended knee.
You can take away health,
you can take away riches,
you can take my ability to see
But it will only cause me to feel
you more
—as I cry from bended knee
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
Liking what things are supposed to be
instead of what they are
I spend my life in wondered lust
not near, yet so afar
Wishing the truth not what it was
but what it was meant to be
I spend my nights in wish filled dreams
—my faith on bended knee
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)
