Best Sure Poems
I sure miss the old hymns of ages past.
With tattered edges their message still lasts.
Those five stanza’d jewels I know by heart--
“The Sweet By and By” and “How Great Thou Art!”
And “Count Your Blessings,” I love that one, too.
And “This World’s Not My Home, I’m Just Passing Through.”
But when I’ve done wrong and need to get right,
There’s “Just As I Am” and “Why Not Tonight.”
I swear I can hear my folks who have gone,
on “Vict’ry in Jesus,” they sing along.
Someday all the saints will stand and join in
As Heaven’s choir sings those songs once again.
Those old, yellowed pages worn soft by tears—
Oh how I miss the songs of yesteryear.

A
rose
exudes
beauty
and
aroma
A
creation
from
nature
With
grace
Even
its
thorns
are
beautiful
Luminous
and
shiny
A
Lady ;
The
similarity
is
that
both
must
be
treated
with
care

Make sure you...
Live your life to the full
To love each day and the night time to
Like you would maybe love a jewel
Our life on this earth does not last
It burns up so very fast
From that very first breath we took
Until we take our very last
Family for me must always come first
Both yours and mine and planet earths
Nature, nurture, safeguard the future
As life they say is short and sweet
So make sure that you complete
Living your life to the very end
And make sure to include your friends
As well as those you have never met
So where do we all go from here
Well we will find out I fear
The reason that we were put here
Some say religion I say no
As for me I hope I know
That we are not all alone
As Genesis tells us so
That God created us all in his image?
But who is God and whats his mischief
As the planet is dying
So are we alone the culprits?
If we are then I believe
That you and me and humanity
With mother nature and the human spirit
May just find a way to fix it
How deep is your Love?

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
At least that's what I hear.
Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a rowboat
fishing and drinking beer!
When advised to "fight fire with fire"
please think about it twice.
Remember, firemen fight fire with water
so I kinda question that advice!
I'm told the way to get ahead
is by using your ambition.
They say "shoulder to the wheel, nose to the grindstone".
However, now try working in that position!
Don't believe in superstition.
Folks will think you are a schmuck.
Besides if you believe in it
it's gonna bring bad luck!
I try to avoid a lot of things,
that will cause me degradation.
I can resist most anything,
that is, except temptation!
I always try my very best
not to make mistakes
In fact if wasn't for my faults,
I'd be perfect for goodness sakes!
These are some of the random thoughts
that keep running through my mind.
It's just a lot of nonsense,
but it sure helped me unwind.
(Soupers - Sorry you chose to read this
nonsense. Surely you must have
something better to do! Thanks anyway.)
If you want to bully me,
You'd better stand in line
And I'll warn you right up front,
It's gonna to take some time
It's really not my fault'
Cause it's nothing that I do
The way that I attract
Every loser just like you
Chorus
If you can't take it ,You'd better not give it
Cause I'm just the guy that'll make you live it
I see you like to push around,
Those you think are weak
Trying to intimidate
Ones who turn their cheek
I won't pretend to you
That I'll let it go
When You come to Bully me
There's one thing you should know
Heeee---yaaaaaaa!!
I’m Sure Feeling Good
Like rosy, red ripe strawberries,
I’m pulsating with cosmic joy.
Like a lark, I sing, it’s so good to be alive,
I’m a dolphin diving into the golden glow.
I’m flirting with wispy white clouds…
did they just wink at me?
Even they know I’m feeling real good.
Swinging high in a rainbow sky,
just floating along on a silky summer breeze.
Playing with my friend gravity, watch me cruise…
there’s nothing that can bring me down!
Hello new day! Move aside, Mr. Sunshine,
your flash has nothing over my flash…
I’m taking over - this solar system is mine!
Inspired by Nina Simone’s song “Feeling Good.”

Sure, you love me…
But not enough to go the tougher miles
But not enough for tears but only smiles
Sure, you love me…
But only when the sun is shining bright
But only when I’m close not out of sight
Sure, you love me….
But not enough my straightjacket to be
But not enough the insanity to see
Sure, you love me…
But only when I keep demons at bay
But only when sugar coated words I say
Sure, you love me…
But not enough to fill my every need
But not enough to bind me when I bleed
Sure, you love me…
But in front of others my love you deny
But in front of others you just let me cry
Sure you love me…
But only when there’s no one else to kiss
But only when there’s no one else to miss
Sure, babe, sure you love me...
But this isn’t what love’s meant to be
But don't be surprised when I set you free
Eileen Manassian
Someone asked me this question:
How sure are you that you'll go to heaven?
I said I believe in the Word of the Son,
Eternal life to all who believe in Him are given.
Jesus said it - that I will never perish,
That I have been bought with a Price,
The words of Christ is what I cherish,
I know He saved me by His Sacrifice.
Set free from sin and from judgment,
Brought out of darkness into His light.
From death to life -what Jesus meant,
No one can snatch me from His Hand..
I am of a chosen people, a royal priesthood.
Ambassador of the Gospel, a saint of God.
His Spirit works in me to do all good-
I'm sealed and paid for by His precious Blood.

“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24)
" I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." (John 10:28)
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a Price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)
"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."
(2 Corinthians 5:20)
I'm positively sure this day will be
much better than the days that came before
The universe will smile and dance with me
I know that there is goodness yet in store
The worries in my mind will drift away
on tails of clouds that roam in azure sky
My thoughts will prance like ponies out at play,
and dreams will spread their wings so I can fly
I'll paint the world in rainbow coloured hues,
the grey of yesterday no longer seen
My heart will beat in time to poet muse,
a dulcet rhyme displaying the serene
This day will be a wondrous one for me
I'm positively sure, just wait and see!
I do not love you by comparison.
It isn't borne of desperation, pride, or pain.
I do not need you for counsel, release.
I do not dream of you to alter you or your words.
I do not follow you because I am weak.
I follow you so that I might go too.
I dream of you, and know reality is better.
I need you because I choose to.
I love you because I do.
It's simpler.
Unsure our world is now, and folks have fear.
From rules imposed on us we dare not veer.
Some say the days foretold by John the Seer
(when chaos soon will reign) are nearly here.
I dread the horrors that might next appear.
Our govenments are puppets; what they do
is what the “powers that be” tell them to.
Lies today and half-truths are nothing new.
An accident this was? You think that’s true?
It’s my belief this all was by design -
an evil plot to cause the world’s decline.
The masterminds of it are filthy swine!
World domination they wish to procure.
I wouldn’t be surprised they had the cure!
The worst is yet to come, most probably.
All we can do is cling to what is dear:
our friends and family; our freedoms too.
Be watchful; there will be more than one sign.
Be faithful; of at least one thing I’m sure:
The good - one day - from earth’s woes shall be free.

Vicodin? Sure. I guess so.
Might as well give it a go.
Codeine? Why not.
I am not an astronaut.
The pain is back
And I am mad.
It may be the worst
I’ve ever had.
What about your pills
I ask my Dad.
What are you taking?
Seeing them I’m glad.
Morphine? Sure. Why not? I ask.
I mix them with codeine, in a holiday flask.
I am dead now, due to poisoning myself
Found on Christmas day by a Santa Claus Elf.
I see an apple.
There it is.
She was going to visit her old auntie at 91 years
The sweet old aunt lived in her own home
in the town of Ostrow Lobelski in Poland
On the floor she found her body lifeless and cold
Her heart did not beat, and she was not breathing
Medical and police were called
The old auntie Janina Kolkiewicz was declared dead
After she had been in cold storage at a mortuary for 11 hours
she ensured that the employees got themselves a real shock
Body bags began to move - she was not dead
The niece says that when they came home
Janina asked for a hot cup of tea
she felt cold all the way into her body and soul
