Premium Member An Old Man Works Summer's Garden

Down where the willow trees blossoms 
And the pear blooms white as snow
Old man works a garden that is awesome
He's worn out from years of work that was gusto
 
And the pear blooms white as snow
Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace
He's worn out from years of work that was gusto
There'll be a pear crop in this place

Touched by God's sweet kindness and grace
Old man works a garden that is awesome
There'll be a pear crop in this place
Down where the willow tree blossoms

Premium Member The Works of God -John 6: 28,29

It's such an old age question
a question asked by every generation
there's wonder in the asking voice
that's filled with mindful fascination

In this gospel of John, it's recorded here
the disciples ask Jesus what they want to know
what was it they had to do? a real work?
Jesus knew the answer this He would show

This work of God, could man do such?
a divine work that only Christ can do
but a sinful man had to find a holy way
one that was spirit filled so divinely true

Jesus revealed the answer so sought
the work of God is for man to believe
on the eternal son of God that was sent
by the father for souls elected to retrieve

The gift to repent of our sin
is given only by God alone
to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
this too divinely given sins to atone

("Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”  Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”)
John 6: 28,29 (ESV)

The Phases Of Great Works

Great works are like
Fossilized trees
Petrified by time
And turned into stone.

Great works are testament
Of hard work, perseverance
And made up of precious materials
That goes beyond generations.

Great works are history
Of life, progress and conflicts
Never run out of legendary stories
That carve a name in the epoch of time.


He Works With Us

The tunnel will no longer be dark as we come into the light,
Now that we have learned to pray and keep him in our sight.
He works through us on all things needed and rearranged,
As we lay down our fears and struggles things will begin to change.
He sets us free from the storms and clouds from past things
as our spirits will be lifted,
To share his love for us to others in the many ways we our gifted.

Premium Member This Is How It Works

on an overall basis
when our identity recedes
flowing in tranquil, gentle calm
bliss magnetism rises as love leads

as we are we be and so in time become
low cunning and subterfuge has here no place
divine attributes manifest as of our heart’s intent
if it is God we seek, He will bestow upon us His grace


Soccer's Works

Soccer is the best sport
It's tough on the mind and body 
It is rewarding.

Offseason is hard
But it separates the weak
And builds up the strong.

* Deuteronomy 32:2  
May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.

Work Perspective Monoku Poetry Contest

National Teacher Day is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week of May (May 3) and we’re more than ready to show our appreciation to those who have taught us. Everyone has had that favorite teacher that has helped inspire them. This day meant to honor them was actually made by a teacher. None other than First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself. Eleanor Roosevelt was more than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wife, she has a history of civic duty and was an advocate for fellow teachers. Her love for education began at a young age when she was privately tutored and encouraged by her aunt Anna “Barnie” Roosevelt. No matter how high she rose on the social ladder, she never forgot where she came from.

Premium Member Why the Sun Works To Rule

At 10 A.M on Friday 13th July
The Sun emerged from a cloud.
After five minutes shining bright thought,
'Sod this, I'm going back to bed. right now'
The Weather King called up Rain
But only got an answer phone.
Thor the God of thunder,  was sick in bed.
An accident with a hammer it was thought.
Try as he might, the Weather King
Could not find someone to replace
The stubborn immovable Sun.
Who was now working to rule.
A better deal was his demand.
It was agreed for shorter hours
And if Sun was late rising 
Overcast would cover the time.
Longer holidays was also agreed.
Fourty-eight to fifty weeks per year.
So if you want to see Summer Sun.
Don't blink when looking in England,

Because he might not be there.

Premium Member Faith Without Works

Faith Without Work
Things will fit better 
if you first bother 
to measure.
Follow through
on what you ask
God to do.
I do not blame 
God who has
blessed you with 
a brain 
insight will
make it plain.
Progress 
requires care
A little footwork. 
"Elbow Grease". 
Should always
accompany 
your prayers.
If your creator 
seems distant 
he is waiting 
for you to put 
some "motion"
behind your 
E-motions..
Go and become 
a steward 
of your own 
blessings.
what you ask 
God to put 
into motion,
"claim"
You know all that 
"faith"
and no work....
and you
Not budging,
while waiting on 
"change".

Premium Member Nothing Works But the Gun

That's what it feels like
in this contemporary 21st Century
Mass murders, massacres
a daily occurrence

Is this what makes
the World tick?
Nothing Works But The Gun
It seems as if

we bow down, worship
this mechanical destruction
of our societies
There has to be a better way

You're not safe anywhere:
on streets; at concerts;
in schools (even elementary):
shopping; driving: etc!

It's a shame
that we can't enjoy life
without these concerns.
When will we learn?

They say "Nothing Works But The Gun."

Premium Member My Brain Still Works

In spite of my age, my brain still works
Thought by now I'd need a full time nurse
I'm still clicking along
Singing sixties songs
To tell the truth it could be a lot worse

Santa"s Works Night Out. a Cautionary Tale

At last it has arrived, 
let there be no doubt. 
That everyone goes crazy 
at the Christmas staff night out. 

Now Santa took the sleigh. 
He did not stop to think. 
For that was very foolish 
with all that food and drink! 

Tooth fairy looked real nice 
so did the pantomime dames, 
but Grinch was asked to leave 
for calling Santa names. 

The leprechauns told anecdotes 
in the spirit of Bob Hope. 
The snowmen all got stoned 
by passing round the dope. 

Santa told rude jokes! 
and some were even funny. 
But everyone avoided 
that randy Easter Bunny. 

Jack Frost he was concerned, 
told the Elves what he was thinking. 
"That Santa"s getting drunk, 
he is doing to much drinking." 

When the meal was over, 
the MC he did stand . 
"Will you welcome live on stage, 
The Boogie Man and his band." 

The celebrations ended. 
"Get on your merry way." 
Santa staggered out 
to try and find his sleigh. 

The reindeer headed home 
they knew the way to go. 
They did not stop to think, 
to take it kind of slow. 

Santa started singing 
a chorus of Wild Rover. 
When flashing lights appeared 
and he was soon pulled over. 

"Lets see your drivers licence 
and please put out that ***." 
"Step out of the vehicle 
and blow in to this bag." 

Oh Santa was locked up. 
You should have heard him wail. 
"You have to let me out, 
you have to give me bail." 

His sentence will be soon 
lets hope the courts a fan. 
For what will happen next year? 
If he gets a driving ban.! 

Poor old Santa Clause 
it is a sorry tale. 
He got community service, 
instead of going to jail! 

By all means leave a carrot. 
A glass of milk I think. 
But don"t encourage Santa 
by leaving out a DRINK!

The Works Canteen

Across by the window, reading her magazine
There she sat.
Eating her breakfast in the works canteen,
Drinking latte

Coffee, eating toast and marmalade, her mind
Deep in thought
So it seemed to me. Yes, you would often find
Her there if sought.

Her hair fair and long, her lips rouge and pert,
Wearing a short skirt
And so many men teased by her smile, hurt
By this sensual flirt,

Because such beauty was rare, not often seen
In the works canteen.
And with every other lass she stole the scene
This irresistible colleen.

Then he entered and her eyes lit as she sipped
Her latte coffee
And gently fondled her cup topped with whipped
Cream as he

Sat down opposite her and smiled. Her emerald
Eyes and seductive pose
Enticed him so, for he had heard tales of old told
Of this lipstick rose.

But like most men in the canteen he couldn't resist
This young colleen
So he too surrendered to her beauty and this tryst
In the works canteen.

And across by the window, reading her magazine
There she sat,
Eating lunch in the works canteen.
Drinking latte

Coffee, eating pasta and rice, her mind
Deep in thought
So it seemed to me. Yes, you would often find
Her there if sought.
