Dear Folks: I pen this note as we ply the dark and stormy sea.
Thanks to Uncle Sam I'm cruising on the Queen Mary, all for free.
You'd think we'd travel in style on such a luxurious tub,
But I'll tell you about life aboard and what we eat for grub.
As usual, the officers and nurses live in comfortable style,
But things ain't so pleasant for us in the rank and file.
We stand in line for everything, even to use the head.
I've been seasick so many times I wish that I was dead.
The brass dine at tables with linen, china and silverware,
And are served their meals by waiters with eloquent flair.
We stand up for chow, eating from greasy steel trays,
Trying to keep our balance as the boat rolls and sways.
Officers sleep four-to-a-room and have sheets on their bed.
I bunk with a hundred other guys on sagging hammocks instead.
I hear the Lord's name taken in vain frequently around here,
As we stumble over each others' feet and our assorted gear.
The brass dine on such things as ice cream, cake and steak.
I've had all the stew, orange marmalade and figs I can take.
Another bout of mal de mer is attacking me, I gotta go.
That's all for now, till next time, Your loving son, Roscoe.

SCRAPPING OF SHOVEL
Building construction started adjacent to my residence.
All day long going on random hazardous nuisance.
Crushing machine whirling nonstop piercing eardrum.
Sacks of cement to move, balancing on fulcrum.
Huge heaps of sand have blocked my entrance and main gate.
Flying dust grains attacking nose and throat to irritate.
On dozens of sound I am adjusting my tolerance level.
crossing all limits on scratching gravels while scrapping by shovel.

Rejoicing to vanquish attacking woe
My heart now radiates with hopeful glow
Ready to face challenging day midst grace
Trusting the Lord Who holds each tomorrow.
Stepping gladly along triumphant pace
I breathe victory in running life’s race
Surmounting downfalls with prayerful plight
Bouncing upon optimism’s strong brace.
Jubilant toward blest reaching-out flight
Though struggling with angst of selfishness-blight
My faith claims trophy in championship bout
Conquering arrogance with truth’s delight.
Directed toward caring kindness-route
Winning against skepticism and doubt
I strive to ascend, breathing victor’s zest
Joyously grateful against losses’ pout
Cheered to keep on going, doing the best
Never wallowing in frustration’s pest
My spirit breathes victory* of love-flow
Such I share with the rest to the fullest.
*1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

It's not funny anymore
My heart is hurting to the core
Seeing how this worlds a mess
Causing me a lot of stress
My soul aches and hurts a lot
When did others lose the part
Of their kindness that used to show
And the love that always flowed
From the inside to others in need
Now it's all just foolish greed
Making any loving fade
When did we decide to trade
Compassion for evil acts
This world is under attack
As we are losing the war
The battles we have in store
Are gonna be tough to defeat
If we keep looping on repeat
The mistakes we won't stop making
Leaving fragile humans breaking
Hatreds getting us nowhere
Leading to our biggest fear
We will not ever recover
Falling fast as we discover
All the wrong we're leaking in
Will destroy us faster than
We can stop it lets not wait
Or ist's gonna be too late
Faith can move mountains
Love conquers all
Words resonating with truth
Two simple lines
That says everything we need to know
If we choose to heed them
Some of us try and fail miserably
Some don't try
None are free from sin
Nobody is perfect in this imperfect world
We have made for ourselves
From the beginning, God gave us freedom of choice
We goofed it (Big Time)
Selfishness and greed can overpower faith and love
Putting obstacles in the way of everything that is said and done
Devastating as Covid-19 war is something had to happen
To make people realise that things had gone too far
The virus is an invisible enemy attacking all Countries and cultures
We are all in the same boat together
Without language, religious, colour divisions being an issue
All working together as a team
To rid us all of the anxiety and despair that this pandemic is causing worldwide
God's way of shaking a finger at the world in disapproval
The same way any caring father would do
If his family had not listened to him

Since He never favours our arrogance that false modesty does hide
Because He knows what is best for us with His perfection-side
Helping us in our testimony to exalt Him for He is our eternal Guide.

He was dying of thirst, not much strength left within,
when suddenly, a water hole appeared only yards before him.
He rose to hs feet and ran towards his salvation,
enthused with the greatest of anticipation,
when out from the bush charged a pride of lions.
The dominant female sprang upon him,
biting, clawing, kicking, scratching.
He thought to himself, "This is NOT how it all ends!."'
Fueled with adrenalin, his survival instint kicked in.
He shoved his entire arm down the throat of the attacking lion,
and when the lioness backed off to prevent herself from gagging,
the man roared his loudest and charged at the lion.
The lioness never encountered behavior like this before,
and ordered the pride to retreat with one thunderous roar.
He watched as the pride vanished beyond the horizon,
and could not believe his good fortune.
"I guess," he thought boastful, "I am the true lion king,
but with my luck, these wounds will be my death of infection.
I best wash off now with a quick swim."
That's when the crocodile got a hold of him.
Short lived was the reign of the true lion king.
