A REQUESTED LYRIC VERSE BY ME Dedicated to DARLENE BEAULIEU
-- Be Free-Be Encouraged-Be Blessed
I just wondered.
What are the provisions?
To be loyal
Must I make a right now decision;
Or, do I have time…
Time to waste or shall I make hast
You who be poor
Be Free
You whom have not
Be Encouraged,
You whom are sickly
Be Blessed.
You are restored, you’ve been make whole
Jesus has suffered
Jesus has suffered
Jesus has suffered
So that all that you’ve gone through
Already, been done,
All that you’ve gone through
Already, been done these are good words to live by. Thank you
If you’ve lost a loved one;
If you have lost your job, your income;
What just what you should do;
Believe, pray and receive His blessings shall come through;
You who be poor
Be rich
You whom have not
Believe yes you have plenty,
You whom are sickly
Are now cured.
You are restored, you’ve been make whole
Jesus has given you wealth, abundant
Jesus has given you health, get up celebrate
Jesus has filled your heart, you’re impart
So that all that you’ve gone through
Already, been done,
All that you’ve gone through
Already, been done these are good words to live by. Thank you
Jesus has suffered
Jesus has suffered
Jesus has suffered
So that all that you’ve gone through
Already, been done,
Be Free
Be Encouraged,
Be Blessed.
And what you have left is…
Be Free
Be Encouraged,
Be Blessed.
Be Free
Be Encouraged,
Be Blessed.
And what you have left is…
The Mercy, Grace and Love of God and Jesus

BEARDED LADY
Sue woke and looked terribly weird
She’d sprouted a black bushy beard
To get rid of this look
Should she wax or just pluck
Would the re-growth be worse than feared?
Sue tweeted her best friend called Mary
(Sue knew that HER nipples were hairy)
She said try using Veet
It is very discrete …
and the re growth isn’t too scary!
The poem I posted yesterday was deep and sad ... Ilene Bauer commented she was more used to my humourous poems ... so I came up with this little ditty for her

One step forward, two steps back
Couldn’t get in and couldn’t get out
The closet is open, but hands were locked
Sneer and hateful words judgment shout.
Do you feel that pain when no one stays?
Even family you love doesn’t remain
People you believe in lead you astray.
It’s a struggle to smile, a life you must maintain.
If one guy you love, you’ve done a crime
When it’s two in the battle you killed, you’re a man.
What perception does this world rhymes?
Discrimination all over, indeed very human!
In this religious society where doctrine governs,
Literally Bible scriptures are translated by vain.
Some people condemn in a manner so stern
The life of those who are already drowned in pain.
Your presence is requested.
Sometimes giving presents is complicated.
When giving presents your presence is usually expected.
But sometimes you can´t be present when giving presents.
So when giving presents, presents such a problem,
it is always better to be present
or
your presence will be missed
and
perhaps be resented.
That complicates matters
because not only your presence
will be resented
but your presents also.
Even more complicated is
if you are presently
thinking about presenting a present in the future...
plan it well because to be present in the future
you will need to wait until the future becomes the present.
and if you wait too long the present will have become the past.
If the moment has past without your presence
then your presence too will have
past.
In conclusion
In the future...
remember to be present while presenting your present,
because the present becomes the past and the present is the future´s past
which never lasts very long.

A request for another quiz,
I just don’t know what the answer is.
So, guess I should just write,
And see what comes from my flight.
A flight ah ha, sounds good to me.
So where should we go that is free?
Here and there and everywhere,
But not going anywhere.
I can see it now round and round
Some might think it is a clown.
But never oh never can this be
Cause he doesn’t climb a tree.
A tree a tree you say to me,
How oh how can this be.
If it is flying so high in the sky
How can a tree jump up and fly.
I know not for am not to know
Maybe it fell in the snow.
But are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight.
Where have all the flowers gone
Are they now a pecan.
I’m not telling cause I don’t know
I still think it fell in the snow.
Clouds clouds so high in the sky,
Cover the moon oh goodbye.
Wind blowing so hard so hard
Pushes the leaves around in my yard.
Oh I forgot this is a quiz
But is it a quiz for Liz?
Liz Liz my sweet Liz,
Why did you let this happen like this?
Oh well oh well guess you wont tell,
What’s that I hear a school bell?
Oh yes oh yes the kids are out
It’s so nice to hear them shout.
For now we know what has taken flight,
And no it’s not something in the night,
The kids are running to fly their ............

Thanks to.my LORD JESUS, Saviour -Redeemer-King, for my survival.
I am in Pretoria, the once pristine Capital of South Africa. I took back a flat/ apartment rented Toba Nigerians refugee when I returned here from USA in 2019. The illegal use of my property that violated all codes and agreements ... ( No time to give details) ... Ended, with monetary love. And threats of violence. My good Nigerian friend took me away from this flat around 8 pm last nite, protected in a guest house. An hour later four Nigerians came to discipline me, an "Indian" who must leave Africa (so they take my property?). My friend had to fight them off --
Many South Africans feel abused by immigrants, notably some Nigerians, who openly mock "weak" South Africans
It does not grow in the ground
in a bush, on a tree
No animal's beheaded
Or fish netted
It's seldom shredded
Makes a perfect meal
prepared as requested
Symbol of life in the world
Yolk inside egg-white ~ mysteries swirl
On the warm drift of breeze from the golden shore,
In the orchestral palette of morning light,
Floats the gentlest lilt in the waking dreams,
To kiss at the heart and veto the night.
She shines tender love from a face of delight,
And she smiles solar smiles of innocent glee,
In her voice sings the music of seraphs and stars,
To tug at the soul and set the heart free.
In the soft swell of scent from the flowery beds,
And the chiming of bells in the playground sky,
Lives Melody’s song of honey and cream,
To sweeten each breath with a gossamer sigh.
The answer to a quiz requested
How simple it is,
If you are tested.
If you guessed a kite,
You might be almost right,
For the answer sounds; like kite,
But is it a kite or is it a kite,
For they are different,
Oh what a fright.
One can fly,
The other just might.
So now you can see,
Which one it could be.
So your answer, miss Linda,
If you guess a kite
Is nothing but absolutely right.
Maybe
