Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said...
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding...
When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
Job 38: 1, 4, 7
Grace, a godsend, good night my friend;
the stars are peeking down on us.
Yes, I’ve been sent your hurts to mend -
grace, a godsend, good night my friend.
Innkeeper has more funds to spend
should you need them for pain and thus -
grace, a godsend, good night my friend;
the stars are peeking down on us.
Good-gesture greenthumb gatherers gleaned grain,
gargantuan granary,
grower's great goodwill greeting,
gazillion grade-schoolers, grownups,
gingham-garbed grandmother's,
grievous growling guts gone,
gain gastronomical goodies gardens,
grapes, granola, gourds, gosh!
generosity galore, golly, gobsmacked!
golden godsend
The late dear Carolyn Devonshire
a poetry souper who did not retire
A contest contestant to her very end
peer poet par excellente,& good friend
Carrie Richards is her pen name
as a prolific winner brought her fame
Introduced me to recitation aloud
with youtube clips to wow the crowd
Debbie Guzzi a P S 'great'
coming here in 2008
A learned female Barnabas
challenging me to extend my compass
An entry on Dec 4 to Sotto Poet's latest contest
My heart is skipping down the sidewalk
But my feet are refusing to move
Arthritis is ruining the liveliness
My joy is apparent to those who know me
It matters not to thousands of others
I cannot laugh any more though, too many teeth are missing
In a way these masks are a Godsend to me.
I can smile or even stick out my tongue
and do not have to suffer the repercussions.
A recent drought has parched the land.
People who hate rain don’t understand
that falling raindrops are a blessing that’s true.
They don’t fall from a clear sky that’s blue.
For raindrops, a sky has to become dark and gray.
We can afford to occasionally miss a sunny day.
So don’t be annoyed with an essential rainfall.
It is a replenishment to earth and a godsend to all.
a beautiful tree
providing shade at the bus
stop -- a needed touch.
