Her Star Filled Hours
********
A life of such wondrous variety,
Can only by a curious soul be chosen.
Like a glorious wildflower will~~
never want the glory of the ordinary rose's hour.
She runs through hardest times
with spontaneity!
Being normal to her is a life of genuine ecstasy.
She is filled with limitless power.
Life is sweet, not bitter sour.
She observes the common, quizzically.
A normal life to her is like wearing
Leder-hosen!
To her, there's no such thing as scheduled hours.
It's filled with brilliant star filled hours, personally chosen!
Alone, she walks her joyful Welsh Corgi,
on streets of moonlit, damp Cobblestone.
To her small white cottage with green shutters, where few
doth ever roam.
Humming secret tunes....known to her alone.

Who are these lug nuts?
Who are these featherweights?
Who are these slum bums?
Who are these cretins?
Who are these dimwits?
Who are these bird brains?
Who are these crumb critters?
Who are these sad sacks?
Who are these dullards?
Who are these rum raisins?
Who are these nincompoops?
Who are these louts?
Who are these Jim Dandies?
Who are these meat heads?
Who are these brow beaters?
Who are these fuddy duddies?
They all live in my bones
And sing like Tom Jones.
We are the chosen.
Later, Hosen.

N-urture the Shepherd's flock,
E-dify her hope and faith;
V-icious lies of the devil
A-re blocking the heaven's gate.
N-ever leave the Shepherd's flock,
G-uide her with the shining light;
E-arnestly lead the sheep,
L-ook after her with all your might.
M-iss not to feed the Shepherd's flock,
A-llow her not to be weak;
R-echarge her with God's message,
C-hosen ones reach the peak.
O-n the seventeenth of December, waste no time in the clock;
S-alvation day draws near, strengthen the Shepherd's flock.

S-ecure soul of the elect
H-as won over Satan's strife;
I-t is free from potential risk,
E-vading the danger in
L-ife.
N-o peril for the secure soul,
A-s it is far away from lies;
C-hosen by the Almighty,
I-t is saved by Jesus Christ.
O-n the twenty-third of January,the heart has reached its gpal;
N-ew heaven is in store for the fortunate secure soul.
