Best Ready And Willing Poems
The job search continues, though unemployment has run out
For me, accepting a government handout set a precedent
If only the largest corporations are to qualify for bailouts
Then I’d like to shake up Washington and run for president
Not of the United States, no, I don’t want Obama’s job
But I’d like to take the reins of a business with some courage
To refuse taxpayer money like Ford, not GM on the rob
Like the public, I’d heal corporate wounds with my own bandage
Now I fill my hours volunteering for various causes
Senior centers and children’s groups show appreciation
Operating in the red, they are used to accepting losses
And in my heart I receive a different type of compensation

GOODNIGHT
Blessed are the Ones,
Who follow in the footsteps of our Creator, living to spread His word
They find their way home when temptation has made them turn
Blessed are the Ones,
Who are always ready and willing to answer to the call
They keep us safe from harm as the darkness begins to fall
Blessed are the Ones,
Who save the lives of those whom had no hope left that they would live
They spend years preparing themselves just for the moments that they can give
Blessed are the Ones,
Who greet the less fortunate with open arms allowing them to see
That there are good people left, the world is not such an awful place to be
Blessed are the Ones,
Who give us hope and strength when the light is fading out
They fuel our faith and help to clear away our many doubts
Blessed are the Ones,
Who are never selfish, they are here to assist in anyway they can
They do good only because their hearts tell them to, no need to understand
Blessed are the Ones,
Who stand strong in the face of evil and never turn to walk away
With no fear at all of losing as they keep all the demons at bay
Blessed are the Ones,
Who teach us as we grow, giving us the knowledge needed to succeed
They show such patience and virtue as they take on this sometimes-arduous deed
Blessed are the Ones,
Who have strong moral values, so much honor and integrity
They show us the light at those times when we are not quite able to see
Blessed are,
The angels as they watch over us from the glorious heavens above
They have proven they earned their wings, as they offer us so much love
The End
By Greg P
The Scorpio's eyes see all
Ready and willing to lay down his own laws
He's completely focused on his path
And yet no one knows his mysterious task
His emotions are well hidden behind dark shades
Only showing feelings for the ones he loves
His words can be soft blankets or sharp as blades
Movements strong and mighty or smooth like a white dove
He loves his women unconditionally so
Ranking 10s when others rank low
Seeing blessings where others see flaws
Looking for one but attracted to all
His thoughts range from the simple to the complex
Looking for ways to put his knowledge to the test
His mind searches for meaning to his life
Fighting viciously to survive strife
The Scorpio is a deep and interesting sign
A focused being that doesn't like to waste time
He has a love for all things big or small
And he's quick to recover whenever he falls
Help given is a wonderful thing.
Giving of your time is quite suitable.
Giving your money, unselfishness showing.
Laboring to clean this world is also very noble.
Yet there is one type of person that stands out
The one that says I will go at the drop of a ball.
Not asking why or where on the commanded shout,
But, stands ready and willing to heed the call.
These are the ones that protect our freedom.
That give us a security that not many know.
They leave families not sure when they will see them.
They sign their name not knowing where they will go.
Our armed forces are the elite of humanity.
They serve not only the US but humankind.
Some giving their life, some their sanity.
All to protect the ones they leave behind.
So I say THANK YOU to the families of the graves now visited.
For the time you have given and family memories lost.
I say THANK YOU, to each veteran and those now enlisted.
For you go even though some have and will pay the ultimate cost.
I was commissioned to write this for my brother's church in
New Castle, Indiana. On the 10th anniversary of 9/11 they
will conduct a service to honor those who were directly
involved in the tragedy in NYC and also to honor those who serve
the New Castle community 24/365. It will be copied on parchment
and a copy will be given to each service provider.
On this Tenth Anniversary of Nine Eleven we gather to give sincere thanksgiving,
For those brave men and women who served us that day, the fallen and the living.
They placed service above self to aid their neighbors, community and nation.
Some sacrified all on The Altar of Honor for their friends without reservation!
We also gather to pay tribute to those who serve our own community each day.
So much, so very much we owe each of them - we can never begin to repay,
They quietly serve us in so many ways with proficiency and dedication.
Their devoted families also serve, faithfully supporting their hero's vocation!
We honor the Indiana State Patrol who deserve our respect and admiration,
For maintaining safe passage and keeping traffic flowing, easing our frustration!
We praise the Sheriff and his deputies for keeping things well under control,
And responding to our frantic calls for aid anytime during their daily patrol!
We are blessed with a Chief of Police and his folks upon whom we can reply.
They are true professionals and are quick to respond when things go awry!
Our wonderful firefighters and paramedics serve us with compassionate care.
None can compare to these valiant souls who are ever ready and willing to share!
We laud our magnificent military who our freedoms have so gallantly preserved!
We cherish our National Guard, reservists and veterans who honorably served!
One day upon the brow of each of these elect He'll bestow a royal crown,
Saying, "You, my friend, have served Me and My people with great renown!"

What makes a man, a man
Is it the sound of his roar
How fierce he stands in the
sight of danger?
How ready and willing he is
when war beckons
Or how fearless he is
At the sight of death.
What makes a man,a man
Is it how long his stick can hold
at pleasures thirst?
Or how he hungers for a
woman 's touch
Is it his quest for adventures
The longing to bear a son
Or how well he takes care of his
woman's needs,
Rubbing endless smiles upon
her face.
What makes a man, a man
Is it how gallant he walks
Or the mountain of food
His stomach can bear?
Is it how he grieves
Not succumbing to despair and
fear
Or how he stands by his faith
and belief.
What really makes a man,a man
Is it the amount of liquor
His head can carry
Or the pains he has seen?
Is it the name he bears
Or the lands he owns
Is it the love in his heart?
How willing he can lay his life
for another.
What makes a man,a man?
Tell me,so that i can be a better
man.
Kindness is a deed no one forgets that easily...
it's given to measure one's selfless love against
another without compassion, regard and mercy;
and however small it may seem, it's a big gift!
Receive that gift with a sincere smile and merry feeling
by thanking that one when you were drenched in misery
and reflected on the ugliness of greed against generosity:
who was ready and willing to give something for nothing?
Deprivation causes anger, need and unhappiness,
not having full plates on tables and smell their flavors...
in blessed homes there's always warmth and serenity;
don't measure their abundance with grim looks of envy!
OKAY? WHAT FIEND STOLE THY BODY ELECTRIC!?
thine distorted reflection rippled
within rain maker's pool upon a midnight clear
full moonlight flooded shallow abyss,
cleaved fractal structures of silence
reverberating deathly hallow from 'ere
to infinity, whence magic wand
whipped out from whereabouts unknown
wove enchanting spell atop me shades
at more'n fifty gray hair
to fore, awakened from drunken stupor,
whence sober self
saw repulsive trouper fluid dynamic image jeer
at pot bellied, dead panned,
and ad libbed the mere
ore image lam bent, mutilated spindled
various aspects of myself a paired
which, aghast at such creepy distortion i didst rear
like a bucking bronco unclear
how this horrid, jagged, limned paragon did wear
a grotesque from heart of darkness – maybe Zaire
or Zulu-land, this soaked silhouette half bare
from the waist to head showed unmanly
sagging overly engorged breasts
plus right and left elephant sized ear
egad, THAT CANNOT BE ME,
yet upon performing self exam a glare
ring outburst ensued,
cuz thy once bronzed handsome physique
grist for a Joker to jeer
and fodder made for television series created,
directed, and executed by Norman Lear
which role might be temporary for Halloween, but near
lee every SINGLE day and night,
thy aged dusk fraught hominid jerked,
leaped, pooh poohed I ham ill prepared
to accept, roistering, rollicking,
rueing this Frankenstein scarred
complex deplorable edifice able,
ready, and willing to be tarred
rather than evince flabbiness,
gruesome homeliness, instance
Page Number Two:
when no objection would arise
to live out the remaining days of this life
as the world wide web turns, spins, rattles...
and voluntarily sign myself into a stew ward
with (at minimum ), a ghoulish, gnarly,
gummy self activated door
leading to a privet hedge row trimmed
topiary resplendent yard
cuz every cotton pickin, friggin,
fingerhut lickin portal iz barred
dated Friday the thirteenth with **** face on that card!
God holds a big eraser
that wipes away my sins,
and when I come to Him in prayer,
my slate is clean again.
In His hands, He holds the chalk
that writes upon my heart.
"Never will I leave you
and do not from Me depart."
Chalk talk with my Savior,
will last through all my days.
But, as more and more
on His Word I stand,
less and less He'll need to use,
the eraser in His hand.
God holds His big eraser.
He holds it out to you,
ready and willing to forgive your sins,
with a love, life saving and new.
(Rondelet)
I’m still moving
I’ve conquered molehills of regret,
I’m still moving
Ready and willing choosing
To stand on the mountains Apex ~
Viewing God’s exquisite sunsets,
I’m still moving…
O Jesu, Jesus, Jesus
You came when I called.
You brought Your loving touch.
Your angels were fully armed
With purpose of victory.
Every visit You make is exciting.
Nothing is mild or mundane about Your presence.
When You arrive,
You bring force, meaning, and authority.
What a pleasant sight to see
Your workers going about their duties.
My cross is ready and willing.
Please keep me informed
Of the events that I meet the requirements of.
From my heart, I thank You
For the mile stones You've placed in my path.
They help me keep focused on my part.
I trust in Your Word.
Jesus Christ
Captain Tom
By Jan Beaumont ©
He was somebody we'd never heard of
Just a man quietly living his life
But a man who'd seen things that he shouldn't
Like battle and horror and strife.
He was loved and surrounded by family
Had a home and a warm comfy bed
Then the horrible virus that hit us
Changed the world when it reared its cruel head.
There were so many people who sickened
There were those who were fighting to live
And then there were those who were there by their side
Who were ready and willing to give.
Captain Tom saw a need to do something
He wanted to help where he could
He started to walk in his garden
Back and forth for the NHS good.
He wanted to raise just a thousand
He thought he could do it you see
But instead that old soldier raised millions
Just by walking each day tirelessly.
It's not as if he was a young man
He had lived to a wonderful age
On his one hundredth birthday
They honoured him well
He now found himself on the world stage.
For on his centennial birthday
His name became almost eternal
They promoted the man who'd achieved oh so much
And Tom Moore went from Captain to Colonel!
Michael Ball and our Tom made a record
And it went to the top of the charts
The oldest man ever to be No 1
And of course No 1 in our hearts.
So we thank you for everything,
Colonel Tom Moore
You selflessly gave us your best
You have done us all proud, you're a hero
Now just go put your feet up and rest!
Fight
I’d fight for you, you know. But I know you aren’t asking that of me. So I’ll be here for you, to fight beside your side if you need me. Because you shouldn’t have to shoulder all this by yourself.
These moments where everything seems like it’s against you. Even your thoughts and emotions. You don’t deserve them.
But they will happen. Especially the latter. Your mind working against you, digging claws into your skin, ready and willing to tear you apart. And what should that matter when you’ve had blood on your own hands before? I won’t tell you pretty words just to brush that under the rug.
You. Dear youngling. Get out of that headspace of yours, get away from whatever is bringing you down. Place your headphones over your head, blast music into your ears. Make art. Rip paper apart. Whatever can get those feelings out without hurting yourself or anyone else.
Listen to me. You are so much more than you know. You are beauty and brains. Kindness and soul. Strength and bravery. Sass and sarcasm. You are not alone. And even if you don’t believe that, look up at the stars that will tell you how not alone you are because you are one with them. Young stardust trying to make its way. Don’t let your mind twist that. Don’t let anyone tell you differently, and that even includes that voice in the back of your head that whispers all those hurtful lies.
Don’t let anyone make you feel inferior. Don’t give up that power to ANYONE.
This moment will pass. You will get through it. You have the means to, you just have to realize it. You have to aim to kill, darling. Silence those bad thoughts. Shut the voices in your head or from others up.
Shoulders back, chin up, take a deep breath, focus, you’ve got this. You are strong, you are a warrior, you can go for the gold, you have bravery running through you, you are bloodthirsty.
Tear down the idea that you are unworthy, not enough, that you can’t be this or that, that you need to lose weight, or change yourself in such extreme ways.
And if you need to stop and take a breath from that fight. Gain some stability. Have a hand to hold. I’m here for you, always. And if you need me to pick up my sword and fight for you or watch your back, you know I will.
I will go down kicking and screaming in the fight for you to break away from these feelings that plague you from time to time if need be.
Love Always & Forever,
for some that meant never,
wondering if you'd ever stay together with this same person...
Cuz forever is a long time, and it all depends on
whether or not your truly in love with this person
Truly devoted to this person, willing to give so much of yourself
to another individual, is a dedication more intense and important than any other.
It's right up there in the same category as being a mother.
All I need to know is that your ready and willing to give us a shot
I'm not talking loving me for a day, a week, a month, I'm talking always and forever
A lifetime if you will, to be devoted to one another, to honor, trust one another
yes to love another as much as you love yourself.
For richer, for poorer, for better or worst health
I want to make this commitment to you more than anything else
I want you to respond by saying, "I do"
I don't want to say these words to anyone else
you're the only one I choose.
I'm making this pledge to honor, respect & cherish you and only you
As we hold hands, look into each others eyes and say our 'I do's'
Were making the promise to one another, saying...
"Always & Forever, I Will Love You"
