Best Promised Land Poems

She told it this way.....

He said...San Francisco......
Then up to Mendocino
I said...can I go
He said...I guess you can

'Cause, long since Albuquerque
That's when he first hurt me
My heart's dying to divert me
To the promised land

And...oh, the nights are long
When you're playing tag along
And this old heartache..hanging on
Is...

I look forward to that rising tide
The current has never been so low 
That we sail in style so calm
Rest deepens without panic 
The tweets sweeter than never 
The sun brighter than ever 

Mr sailor how did you stir on course? 
Because i still see...

We search for it ceaselessly
     each in his own way

   Exertion, exhaustion
     day after day

   For all we fall short
     we press weary on

   A Promised Land...

Forty years is a pretty long time to be out on a camping trip,
And when you’re living on a mountainside you can start to lose your grip.
So God called his people together to tell them about his plan,
“Folks I just wanted to say, I’m sending...

The promised land

The promised land
Look for me in rainbows; I am always there.
Dancing with your music, no time is to spare.
I am always drunken, drunken with your songs.
I’m living within you; you do always care.

I will be the sunlight moonlight when it’s night.
Nightingales sing all...

Shouts of jubilation as
They drink the sour milk,
Milked from dead cows.
  Dancers moving 
Gracefully with cups of
Vinegar at hand.
Belching out foul odour,
Remaining unaware and
Unperturbed.
  Children with protruded
Eyes and stomachs
Screaming wildly out of
Excitement?
  At a corner,sits one with 
Supple body on golden
Throne with...

The Promised Land
poem
Lionel Derbyshire

In the dark I glance a silhouette
I see ..
A formation in arrangement from neck to toe
I see ..
A face creation I cannot makeout ..
constructed with neck and toe;
Like a whispering it politely comes to fetching me.
A silhouette devine I fully see 
In...

The view of a green meadow, aspirations undisturbed   
Twisting turning junctions lead to provinces returned
The sound of faraway church bells ring in my ears
 A mournful lullaby they sing for true believers
This congregation is heard in a songbird cadence  
No wings are...

Promised Land: A Psalm of Faith

There is a kind of strength comes to a wanting land
(Where six inches of unfavored soil must withstand 
 A chance for rain), when rooted in the Word
That brings hope through faith.
---And a roadside sign proclaims, "Jesus is Lord"

I have taken so far a long walk,
I have listened and let them talk.
They think it is simple as scattering a flock
Or like eating food with a folk.

Yet! They forget this is a marathon,
It's not a Bolt's kind of champion.
It's keeping going on, and on...

Again and again, I scrape through the sand encrusted
macadam pavement, avoiding patches of sunken sorrows,
embossed in tv jingles, uttered from the lips of politicians,
grinning, toothless, at the wandering
immigrants, eager to find no home.
  Against the soundtrack of minimum wage, scores
of campesinos work double shifts,...

The promised land,land of sweet honeycomb,
chocolate fountains,the land of green pastures
paradise it is,were jinnee's make their own wishes
fairie's make dreams come true.

Toddlers depart on a journey of a thousand miles,
forbidden path, through the valley of darkness destination
the promised land,Evil roam among the living,phantoms
zombies present in...

The battle raged on
taking its toll on the brave
the numbers grew
who was there knew how much they gave.

A tormented soldier
looked over the broken land
as his shadow was defined by the sand.

He thought to himself
did we make a bid to save a man
or was we bidding...

Moses and Promised Land

In basket Moses had been found floating;
Time caring for selves women were devoting;
She touched  his hand;
Not see promised land;
Then basket by her was seen to be toting.

Jim Horn

I have to be patient, and not too concerned
About the things I can’t manage
If some of the stones I left lying unturned
For this I cannot be disparaged
The island is so overcrowded and small
New comers arrive by the boats
They want to steal space, so the natives...
