Best Protects Poems
Who Protects the Singular and the Few?
Acknowledged without reward.
The Predator took my talents,
My gifts stolen and used.
I am without rewards.
I never wanted them,
The Agent, Some Union dues.
Who protects the singular or the few?
The masses need protection too.

Snowdrifts,
mounding crystals
sloping against buildings,
nature protects bodies inside
igloo.

Living in freedom
eyes always on guard
So strong, big and tough
Claws are razor sharp
deep roar from the throat
A protective dad

Verse
When I go through life’s flood and flame
And have my share of shock and shame,
I’ll rest in God, His praises I’ll proclaim,
My faithful father will acclaim His name.
A thousand may fall at my side
and ten thousands in hunger may subside.
I’ll rest in God whatever may betide.
My faithful father will provide and guide.
My earthly friends may easily neglect
In peace and joy, wars may interject
I’ll rest in God and to Him I’ll connect
My faithful father will direct and protect.
When sinful pleasures become addictive
When help and hope get too expensive,
I’ll rest in God and remain positive,
My faithful father will forgive and give.
My painful past may keep me in despair
Sins and sorrow may my soul ensnare
I’ll rest in God and His word I’ll declare
My faithful father is always there to care.

God Protects us always
Even if we make mistakes
No matter what
He takes care of us
Memo time..
I try something new
As so I was told
tis be a Girls Night Out
Which actually
was just a few hours
But I learned alot
Even tho.. I did go
God Protected me
The whole time..
For when we all went
onto a place..
I never been..
But within this place
There was many men..
Whom for some reason
seem to want to be
beside me.. to be with me..
more then my girl friends
I just not understand
My girl friends knew..
they said.. those men..
just want one thing..
I still didn't understand..
I asked them to please explain
they said.. you know..
men like to take women home
Some of my friends
then went in got tis man
they called bouncer
As he came..
he said.. I am here..
There be.. No worrys
Then Those men
Left away.. in a hurry
For he seemed to be very strong
For then all those men..
Left me alone
But then this bouncer
Noticed.. a man following my every move
he said tis.. I had a stocker too
Which then he got rid of him
he said.. he had him removed
For as I see.. tis not safe
For any women.. to be
To go out.. into such places
For that just asks for trouble
Tho.. was all new to me..
God knew the situation tis be
all this time he protected me
Even when you don't
Think.. anything could happen
Nor know.. tis be wise
For even so called fun
just to visit among friends
at these types of places
tis seems to be..
where alot of Evil plays
God Protects in every which way
Thank God...
For making a way
For protecting me that day
Even times I make mistakes
as all people do..
Come to Jesus
He protects You
In every way..
All things every day
```````````````````````````````````````````````
A girls night out..
I just wanted to see what it was like
for the first time ever.. with friends
But no more.. for this I find
I believe if to be a Girls Night out
Or just a few hours
Ought to be.. for a pop or coffee
For the those other places...
Just are Not safe..
God Protected me.. in more ways
Then even I know..

DOPE DESTROYS THAT WHICH HOPE PROTECTS
Those aren’t really maggots, it ain’t even a flightless fly
That’s just the look of putrid and putrefied flesh when you die
Those aren’t really moles down there, they ain’t even mice
But I’ll tell you, the stench of death comes at quite a price
Every May fourteenth it’s Robbie’ day
December third is reserved for Bobby’s day
Lucy died at exactly midnight on the fifth or six of May
So was she buried that day or the next, ever heaven to stay
Maggots may squirm and squirm like a worm
But a dead body can only be steady and firm
That’s a directive from the one with intoxicating perfume
But we all know she’s all about death, destruction and doom
Mother earth awaits her kin in kind
Be they ordinary, or f*****g out of their mind
Fridays are for lovely Sherry and how she always rendered mirth
And as of today more than half of my friends occupy the earth

Divisions of time
Stretched through your life
Growing and maturing
So that the prime of your life
Can be revealed on this earth
Nothing last forever
Time protects you from that
For everything there is a season and
The reason for this is that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
It’s not what you are that holds you back
It’s what you think you are not
Put yourself on the spot and remind yourself that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
Things change so rearrange your mind so that
You can still be strong during a tough chapter of your life
Don’t be too rough with yourself because in reality
Time protects man from living in a permanent state
Nothing last forever
Time protects you from that
For everything there is a season and
The reason for this is that
Time protects man from living in a permanent state

Young Earth was born respecting nature
She will protect Gaia, her parents agreed
her ancestral spirit guides were pleased
Young Earth spent her entire life
replenishing, respecting and rejuvenating Gaia

Such a contest!! .... what a rivalry!!
Who will win? Its a cliff hanger ...
Slowly Squirrel comes to ground,
tail flicking up and down
than off he (or is it she?)
scurries to a box in the yard
that holds bird seed
on which this little thief will feed
as Mister The Dog watches
from his snuggly bed inside.
Away from this view, I hear
an insistant whine saying,
"Let me out ... NOW!"
It might mean Mister has business
to do and, since I don't know
for sure, I open the door
as off he tears to chase
the chattering squirrel
scrambling up the tree that
now has no leaves in which to hide
but strong skeleton arms to
hold it tight, as Mister jumps
and barks and lets Squirrel know,
"I'll get you next time!"
There's always a next time ....
Better squirrel chasing as it runs up the tree
than the cat who leads Mister on a chase
all around the neighborhood ...
but thats a tale for another day!

My Lord and Father, the great I AM,
I ask you to heed my tears and fears
To see me in my great distress, despair
To lead me away from the enemy’s
Evil chains and whips – plotting to take
Away my joy and hope and inspiration
Please protect me from the evil one, oh Lord
You are the strong and mighty armor
The one who guards my heart and soul
You make a way where no way is shown
And guide me through the pain and sorrow
Into the joy and assurance of tomorrow
You help me to overcome the storms
And give me a chance to feel safe from harm
I believe every word in your book, the Bible
And ask you to cover me in your redeeming blood
So that I have nothing to fear from the enemy
Who goes to and fro, seeking whom he may devour
I believe you will keep me safe from this foe
Your endless grace reassures my trembling soul
That your light will guide me through the darkness
You are worthy of all my praise and adoration
I love you from the depths of my soul and spirit
You are wise and wonderful and a welcome help
In times of trouble you cast your net of love around
Covering me with your sweetest mercies and grace
Reminding me that I am always loved beyond my sin
More than I can ever hope to give back, you give to me.
Thank you, dear heavenly Father – I love you always

Lord as I venture out today, guide protect
And keep me on my way. What lies ahead
I do not know; cover me under your blood
from head to toe.
My steps are ordered, and you know my name
All the hairs on my head are numbered and
You love me the same.
Your constant protection I crave each day,
This earnest need I humbly pray.
With you on my side I have no fear,
The devil have no place, when your
Spirit is near.

July 31 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Isaiah 13-17
Key Verse – Isaiah 13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
FAITH IN GOD WHO PROTECTS US FROM DESTRUCTION
God protects us from destruction with His salvation
Always preserving us around His redemption
For our faith’s growth in prayer and supplication
Toward Christian prosperity midst spiritual satisfaction.
God protects us from destruction with His righteousness
Always sanctifying us from our confessed sinfulness
For our faith’s conviction to abide in His holiness
Toward good testimony of triumphant joyfulness.
God protects us from destruction with His deliverance
Always leading us by His Word’s assurance
For our faith’s increase as we study to conquer ignorance
Toward heavenly gain along wise perseverance.
God protects us from destruction with His hand
Always keeping us inside His will’s loving demand
For our faith’s obedience to fulfill His command
Toward wondrous experience to see miracles He has planned.
God protects us from destruction with His mercy
Always enclosing us in His contentment’s sufficiency
For our faith’s steadfastness against complacency
Toward earnest reliance in His promises along trust’s fervency.
God protects us from destruction with His triumphant reign
Always reproving us whenever we complain in our pain
For our faith’s dependence on His instruction never vain
Toward victorious trek along His perfect terrain.
God protects us from destruction with His exhortation cheer
Always encouraging us by His comforting steer
For our faith’s drive onward in serving Him, overcoming fear
Toward productive stewardship along His commendation so dear.

teddy bear watched over her while she slept
we were grateful she had him in the hospital
so many hours, so many treatments, so much pain
when she went to heaven, we imagined him with her
protecting her in the midst of heaven as he had in life
it gave us a tiny bit of comfort to see him in her coffin
