H idden within its pages you will find
I mmense riches that will transform your mind,
D eep, buried deep is true wisdom refined,
D elve into its core meaning well-defined,
E nigmatic stories with lessons lined,
N ow within your reach, are you so inclined?
T eacher Divine, it is sure to spellbind,
R enewing your soul and all of mankind,
E xamples of yore that serve to remind
A ll this world will one day be left behind,
S tandards for everyone, 'tis mastermind,
U ncovering the fact that humankind
R equires God to open spirit's eyes blind,
E nshrouding us with precious peace of mind.

Form: Acrostic monorhyme
10 syllables per line
For Kim Rodrigues' "Message in an acrostic 2" contest
Neil Armstrong in nineteen-sixty-nine
Moonwalked on the moon, the first in line.
There have now been twelve
Humans, no elve.
Don’t you think this is mighty fine?
Sunday is a day for prayer and rest but also a day to give thanks
Untie your days of the week and loose them to the wind for
No one should toil seven days a week, no matter who they are
Delve into a good book, take a walk in nature, ease into leisure
Accept the day as a gift from above and give thanks for
Your beautiful life, go ahead it is your Sunday, enjoy !
