Premium Member PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HE IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

November 8 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on John 11-12

Key Verse – John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HE IS 
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

Praise be to God for He is the resurrection and the life:
Saving our souls with His security-seal
Sanctifying our spirits along His statute-standard
Satisfying our service by His sufficient supply-support
Sustaining our stewardship upon His Scripture-statutes
Strengthening our supplication through His steadfastness

John 12:7-8 Praise be to the Lord for 
teaching us to have Him always:
Trusting Him amidst crises
Thanking Him for His compassion
Toiling for Him despite challenges
Triumphing in His calling and caring
Treading upon His championship charge

John 12:46 Praise be to the Saviour 
for being our light against: 
Zeal where greatness pretends
Zenith where godlessness prevails
Zones where gloominess pervades
Zooms where goodness is perverted
Zest where greediness against grace pesters. Amen!

Premium Member Long Beach

Crisp Spring day
          winds gusting
birds on beach

The West End
          where Artists aspire
to live their dreams

Strolling Boardwalk
          regulars pass by
enjoying rhythm

Daily excursions
          through turmoil
and jubilant feelings

Fog rolls in
          under a sprinkle
Ocean in a tempest

Sun breaks through
          during lackluster afternoon
children playing

Cell phone rings
          friendly voice
amidst chaos

Baseball season starts
          America's pastime
frigid eve

Another dawn
          breaks monotony
anxiety pesters

Spring snowfall imminent
          insomnia strikes
Is it natural?

A child is an angel
          my flesh and blood
sleeping peacefully

Video games galore
          when you hang
with a 14 year old.

Premium Member Knowing

Be beyond belief
Calm cheer conceive


Apt autumn asks
Dance dying dusk


Glimpse glowing grace
Purpose primes pace


Hurl healthy haste
Touch tactile taste


Mind movement meets
Say something sweet


Bliss bearing blooms
Reach rapture rooms


Busy bee buzz
Free fleeting fuss


Lofty looks light
Signs sizzle sight


Notice nice nows
Play pesters plough


Bloom beyond brave
Know naughty knave


Love lives lovely
Live love lively


Reap rowdy rhymes
Taste touching times


Seek succinct sight
Live limpid light


Touch timely truth
Procure plain proof


Faith flavours flow
God gives grand glow


Hope heals hurts here
Design dream dear


Love lingers long
Sings surreal song


Brief blossoms bloom
Zesty zeal zooms

My Feline Friends

Tiger Lily is my kitty, lives in my house not in the city.
Ferocious markings soft meow, cold wet nose, pounce with a “POW”!
Affectionate with kitty kisses, and when I’m out I’m what she misses.
Beautiful, domesticated, poised and sweet and highly rated.
Tiger Lily, excited tail, when I meow its then she’ll wail.
Baby Boo her kitty friend, loves and cares for, will defend.
Small and white just like a ghost; Baby Boo shares love the most.
Baby Boo shares kisses too, if not aware she’ll pounce on you.
She nuzzles chin, cold nose on you, scratchy kisses, its what she’ll do.
So soft and warm, affectionate, to not have her it’s what you’ll hate.
Piglet is the big meow, the alpha cat, so in the now.
He walks so cool and so in charge; He eats anything that’s why he’s large.
He pesters me behind closed doors, even when I’m eating smores.
Upon the tank, I’m sitting down, to the sink and with a frown.
He stares and nuzzles while I’m busy, walks around and makes me dizzy.
And yet he is so loving too, he tells me things I always knew.
I know he cares, and loves me so, and I love him that’s what I know.
My feline friends are oh so sweet, the cutest kitties you’d ever meet.

The Woman I Love

Lord, am not complaining
Am just giving you a field report
On the woman I love

The Lady I love does not know left from right
Am not using a metaphor, I simply mean left from right
She pesters me with bright passions and loves me right
It could be a coincidence, but she also takes sprite
Thanks lord, she is all so beautiful, loving and bright
Yet still, she can not tell her left from right,
And I don’t mean wrong from right

She is a cute little bunny
And a thousand times funny
she  just laughs off her fears
Yet cries over pizza with real tears

She is truly such a sight and to earth she is downright
She is outright like sunlight and a great sight like moon light
But still. She can’t tell her left from right.

October Seventeenth Ninety Sixty One

October seventeenth ninety sixty one ...

Born sixty one years ago,
the follow poem from your bro
transmitted courtesy flagship
named Jacques-Yves Cousteau
constituting countless ones and zeroes
instantaneously traversing cyberspace
as packeted, framed dataflow
binary digits bit of information
to acknowledge when
thee transitioned being an embryo

(approximately the second
to eighth week after fertilization)
approximately nine months prior,
whose birth marked debut
of bouncing daddy's little girl,
whose inquisitiveness nourished
birthed perception buzzfeeding
capital one earthlinked baby
fostering, kickstarting, and
orchestrating cognitive aptitude,

who throughout storied existence,
which kudos ye
proudly promulgate to and fro
hither and yon across
social media platforms
understandably, opportunistically, and
humbly letting family and friends
across the webbed wide world
know amazing accomplishments,
when ye did initially grow

from being precocious genetic pedigree
into a whip smart self confident
globe trotter, whose curriculum vitae
dwarfs (by powers of seven)
feeble accomplishments of mine,
went thee invested with a heigh-ho
positive state of mind
every endeavor undertaken
(in one physically gruelling instance)
biking, hiking, riding

to your private Idaho
(fast as a B-52)
versus humdrum life of one common Joe,
whose heightened perception
aside from singing the praises
of admiration toward youngest sister
after countless years, he failed to know
about her trials and tribulations
exercising your potential to the maximum
invariably feeling dog tired

with a dose of lumbago
thrown in for good measure
nevertheless adept as bilingual person
quite helpful travelling
to Spanish speaking countries
during your roaring twenties off to Mexico,
and just recently taking a jaunt
to Portugal donned accruing
vibrant sense and sensibility
treasuring richly pocketing nouveau

memories attracting natural outgrow
of ardent followers, whether online
or in flesh, who clamor for selfie photo
with thee and steadfast husband
unlike henpecked wife of mine
enjoyable as pesky miss Quito
who pesters me to get off computer
so she can binge watch Netflix
hence adieu as I hop on my cubii
off to complete
another stationary roadshow.

Big Issue

Here once again he pesters me, steps into my world where I’m set
fair, imposed upon  by his misfortune, extravagance forced to regret.

He always seems to be around, whichever street or square I walk
 jabbering loudly in my ear, though I make clear don’t wish to talk.

Is his the filthy blanket hid amongst the bushes in the park ?,
those kids have used it for a toilet, soaked it in their nasty lark.

The little money that he gets who knows if it is wisely spent,
he may well blow it all on drugs, he’s on the streets for owing rent.

Most likely he's a total waster  blaming some infirmity, 
claimes his autism confuses, has since over fosterer's  knee.

His bedding's now so badly soiled I wonder where he will sleep tonight, 
not of course that it's my problem, sure someone else will see him right,

Much better purchase his “Big Issue”,then go home with conscience clean,
as statistics clearly show we’re wealthier than we’ve ever been !

Joy Elaine Wellington

Joy, they named for themselves, the future's blind
Oyster to drink your sand. In salt tides love rises
Yearning to part the twinning shell and there resign.

Empress of the emerald seas, my ship for rich prizes
Listed its name, cargoing only your pure laden weight
Anchorless against the blustering report of bad winds.
I desired you alone, and for you I you alone I freight
Nature's nagging Testament jettisoned among the fins
Eternal glimpse of glee. O how my ship prized your worth

Well in tons delicious of my dreams, your sweet waters
Ecstatic upon the plunging foray of my keel, port
Leaning through tempting triangles, the pirate pesters
Lack speed's pursuit, and through doldrums I evade
Incessant wrongs, until your wild waves wanton decree
Numbed wind and sail in me. Flirtingly you delayed
Giving my ship to port, and then soon abandoned me  
Tideless in a salt bog of tears where I logged deceit
Once in a while I come down to the sea, the old receipt
Nested in my mastless fingers, to wail my loss in you.

Premium Member Sweet Surrender

In low cut shirts and mini-skirts
she pesters passions through the day,
but my advances she averts
while still continuing her flirts,
she leaves me longing love’s ballet.

But daylight wanes and fades to night,
the thoughts of lustful love turn tender,
and with the bedroom drapes drawn tight
she wryly winks and lowers light,
and gives herself in sweet surrender.

New Birth

The beginning word
Has with light
And truthful rays so bright
Descended to teach me the
Difference of good and bad

Grazing my thoughts and intentions
He illuminated upon my 
Knowledge the refracted
Rays of desires of this
Moulded Cray
That normally I am pleased
To please
Which also leads to deception

The glowing flame
Whispers of mysteriousness
Of the mystic self
Which I should daily toil for
For a gain with no end

Evicted dusk from my heart
Pesters my mind
To count the cost of the loaded
Burden upon my shoulders 
Hunting me back to the
Perishable luxuries surrendered
Always trying to offload 
The cross I have chosen

I Am

I am

Old - and will be older still
Tired - with lots of room to rest
Scientist - I know things big and small
Sportsman - a fisherman extraordinaire
Husband - a gorgeous wife with patience
Father - with kids scattered here and there
Grandfather - with kids who let me tell lies
Poet - with a muse that feels his age
Traveler - to whom destinations do not matter
Texan - given to bragging on every little thing
Friend - to people who make me smile
Nag - who pesters those who dislike algebra
Political Conservative - just because I'm Constitutional
Athlete - with little gas left in the tank

I am a Happy Man who grumbles little and gives Thanks a lot

Premium Member Country Lane

I peer back thro' the mists of time and view a country lane,
That meanders thro' the woods and across the Hoosier plain.
I see a country lad in overalls and floppy hat of straw,
Ambling along barefoot, marveling at everything he saw!

His faithful pal, Spooks, trots ahead of him a few paces,
Scaring up rabbits and other critters, after them he races!
He drags a stick in the dust and whistles a tuneless strain,
With not a care on earth as he saunters down the lane.

He pauses to skip stones across the shimmering pond,
Startling a flock of geese who at him scoldingly respond!
He stoops to study a hill of busy ants scurrying about;
Old Spooks became curious too and was bitten on his snout!

Boy and dog slake their thirst in the clear, rippling "crick."
He pesters an old snapping turtle with his walking stick!
The lane passes thro' billowing seas of wheat on the plain.
He crushes a few awns twixt his palms for a snack of grain.

Anon, they seek respite from the casual summer stroll,
And they both lie down upon a nearby grassy knoll.
He, gazing at the vagabond clouds, building castles in the air.
Ah! Blissful youth and carefree days! Nothing can compare!

Festering Wound

A little leaven leavens the whole lump,  
A moment of festering,
The whole body is thrown off balance,
The whole body is out of coordination, 
A moment of taking off the eyes,
A moment of negligence,
Wound festers and pesters the body,
It is infected and 
defects the body’s mechanism,
Let wound be washed clean,
Disinfected and protected,
Covered with a sterile covering,
Its healing, our benefit,
Its rejuvenation, our energizing,
Festering wound,
A bane to mankind’s pursuit.

Premium Member The Phantom

I repose and arouse.   
My acridness would not repose.   
An inhabitant companion.   
In the apexes of my domain   
It haunts my mind and eyes.   
It pesters my heart and my ear. 
How should the boat run?   
Furthermore, beat all obstructions.   
Indeed, even dismal waters.   
Furthermore, my dream.   
Besides, I have shrouded my injury.   
Furthermore, I covered its lakes.   
With stones, I convey from the shore.   
To a greater extent, I vanquished the foes.   
Likewise, in case I repose came.
    
I repose
