WATER

Water not luxurious 
But very valuable 
Water got no enemy
Very essential for living.
Water is everything, for all living things 
I swear none can live or do without it.

About 71% of earth
Is covered by water
About 50-71% of the body
Is made up by water
Water is everything, not just a liquid 
I swear a daily necessity
For all living things and more.

If I keep writing about water
I'll run out of words...
Water can dissolve or destroy anything,
With time and persistence.
But nothing can dissolve or destroy it.
Can't you see? water is everything...!

What Groups Cannot Do Without

What could they be all about?
I'd tell you: For what we'd scout,
When our passions for them shout.
What groups cannot do without;
Once one neglects each a flout...

Cash crop farms say fertile lands,
The Builder Mason Good Sands,
Marching-to-War Soldiers: bands,
The Ring Fighter: two hands,
All Seasoned Smokers: their brands,
Newspaper Vendors: news-stands.

Book of Records: What is grand,
South Africa, now: The Rand.

Premium Member What Would I Do Without Calvary

Priests, preachers, and Evangelists,
I've listened to them all;
But what would I do without Calvary,
Had I not heard the sweet Savior's call?

For Man cannot do as his own will directs,
And still gain the sweet Bye And Bye;
Nor preachers forgive them the sins of a life,
That was wasted though try as they might.

For only The Son can finish the job,
That The Father, Himself has begun.
The Spirit must lead us, must guide and must teach us,
Only on God to rely.


Premium Member What Would We Do Without Woman

God in His creative mercy did make
both man and woman both in order
taking Adam's rib shaping the lady
but sin appeared causing total disorder

Eve was the one Satan beguiled
tempting her to eat from that tree
thus Adam followed Eve's disobedience
causing mankind to be no longer free

It's often a thought what if Eve had
rejected Satan's suggestive thought
sin wouldn't be here all be fine
yes a world without sin be our lot

Indeed even a world filled only by men
the thought's crazy blows the mind
it would be even worse than now
walking about as if we'd all be blind

Well, ladies, you're much-needed crew
such sense fully wise most of the time!
one can't do without the other at all
compliments each other to always shine

Premium Member What Will I Ever Do Without Her

She always makes my mouth water 
Her neck is long and slim 
She is rarely dull 
And she usually always shines 
She gets turned on instantly 
Just by the way I touch her 
She easily gets very hot and steamy 
She always speaks to me in the same tone 
And her voice always flows smoothly 
She will never leave me 
Even if she has a break down 
What will I ever do without her 
I love you water faucet

What Are You Going To Do Without Me Around

The house is much quieter,
since you went away
I feel so much happier,
without you around
I'm glad your not here today,
to ***** me out
And my laundry's alot cleaner,
doing it myself
You wanted a superman,
which I'm not
And You thought it was funny,
when I fell
I've been on my knees,
praying for this day
So now that you left,
you can go to hell

You always acted like,
you were always right
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
I won't be there,
for you to start a fight
So what are you gonna do,
without me around

You listened to the words,
from your nosey friends
They all had wimpy men,
they could push around
You couldn't cook,
so that ain't no big deal
And I Think you found your friends,
in the lost and found
Especially that ugly one,
who's name was Jill
She had no friends,
you were her only one
Oh how I love it here,
now I'm having fun
I'm glad you left,
It's like heaven now

You always acted like,
you were always right
So what are you gonna do,
without me around
I won't be there,
for you to start a fight
So what are you gonna do,
without me around

She- What Would I Do Without Her

She doesn’t like, my music
She doesn’t like, my songs
She doesn’t like, my boems
And, she doesn’t like, my thongs

She listens not, to my wishes
She listens not, to my plea
She listens not, to my wizdumb
And, she listens not, to me

She tells me, what do
She tells me, what to say
She tells me, when to go 
And, she tells me, when to stay

She tells me, when to laugh
And when, to shed a tear
But when she tells me, when to pee
That’s when I say, “YES DEAR”
BOEMS by JA 47

Work It Out Or Do Without

They stopped talking to him for no apparent reason
He reached out only to be met with silence

So he prayed and reached out again, no response
He prayed and extended an olive branch, to no avail

Then he shook the dirt from his shoes and joy filled his
Heart like floods of flowing waters

He had a new attitude
Peace was his new friend 

And he would never go anywhere again
Where he felt he needed to be in

One day the phone rang 
And it was one of those people who had ignored him

He said “Hello” as cordial as possible
But something was missing he felt a detachment

The caller was acting as if
Nothing had ever happened

Wanting to talk about trivial things
But the man who once felt marooned

Said he had to go
The caller paused, and said, “I know”

Taking others for granted is a form of torment
Some may frolic while others lament

Just be aware, that when you want to
Grin and bend

The man who was ignored caught the hint

What Will I Do Without Kayley

What Will I Do Without Kayley

There were raindrops like big tears;
Some day will think of all the years
Without my dog, I now have been
And gladly would do it over again.

Why doesn't life ever seem fair
As I see Kayley walk up each stair;
Loved to play and roll in the dirt;
Not even a flea would he ever hurt.

My dog eventually will have to die
And as all my tears I start to dry
To a close, his curtain was drawn;
Kayley world is where he has gone. 

The Death of a pet is hard to endure
And agree with me, I know for sure;
Even worse is telling your child why
His pet he loved so much had to die.

What Would I Do Without Jesus

What Would I Do Without Jesus?
If not for Jesus…  What would I do?
I really have no one else I can turn to!

In the midst of all my trials and pain…
I learned to call out on Jesus’ name!

He gave me the assurance that he loves me!
His hand reached down and touched me!

He told me that he loves me and won’t let go.
He brought peace and satisfaction to my soul!

My life for his… The price was already paid.
Through him, a way to heaven has been made!

This joy and love I have, is not my own.
Christ brought his sweetness to my home!

The life he gave is overflowing with God’s best!
He’s brought to me comfort and a haven of rest!

I’m so grateful for what he’s been doing for me!
The chains are gone!  I’ve been set free!

Jesus is beautiful! My best friend indeed!
He’s come and supplied my every need!

What Jesus has done for me, he can do for you!
It’s not secret how much he really loves you!

I pray that his love and mercy
 will bless you today!
Won’t you invite him into
 your life to stay???

Premium Member Can I Do Without

Love is like the morning breeze
It refreshes you
Lifts you
Love is like the gnawing hunger that clutches at your inner most being
Love is like a boat in the ocean being thrown about
Love it or hate it
It got you
Love 
Beautiful love
Can’t do without
Can’t live without
Are we blessed because we are bit?
Are we lucky because we know what it’s like?
Do we wish we can do without?
Whatever it is 
You are stuck
It controls you
Love
O love
Why do you come?
