Cheeky baby swagger

Coocoo doodle I do,
Not every day I coo,
What Mum can do, I can –
My skin needs a sun tan.

My hair with homemade curls,
My makeup shines like pearls.
I'm just a baby, see,
Acting adult, maybe.

Bring napkins for wee-wee,
Ensure fun flows for free.
Tie me nappies for poo.
And bandage my boo-boo.

Baby guys will whistle,
Love – their own epistle.
While I sway my bum-bum,
Left to right like my mum.

Coocoo doodle I do,
Not every day I coo,
What Mum can do, I can –
My skin needs a sun tan.

No high-heeled shoes to wear,
I'd still swagger with flair.
I'm a baby with style,
Can't stop this cheeky smile.

Premium Member Praying Seriously and Being Watchful -1 Peter 4:7

This is a day of real deep declension
the clouds look to be drawing near
Jesus warned us of such an evil day
when mankind will have much to fear

This world has consistently rejected God
more and more as the years have gone by
they're without excuse as judgement comes
then the great judge will declare you must die

Peter warned of this in his first epistle
telling all that the end was in sight
exhorting believers to be much in prayer
making sure our pleadings go into flight

Be praying with a real seriousness
making sure to be contacting every day
with your saviour and Lord who hears you
He will listen carefully when you pray

Learn to be ever watchful all around
be on your guard as Satan seeks to attack
on your knees looking up for God's provision
then the Lord's armour won't ever crack!

('But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.')
1 Peter 4: 7 (NKJV)

April 26 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 2Kings 15-17

Key Verse – 2Kings 15:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

HEART THAT PERSISTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His presence
That girds us in our frustration-silence
As He demands our faith’s persistence
Midst His truth to overcome doubts’ insistence and trust’s decadence.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His counsel
That enlightens us in our confusion-grapple
As He illumines our understanding with truth’s epistle
Midst His Word to smite obscurity’s darkness and falsity’s wimple.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His wisdom
That corrects us in our ignorance-boredom
As He guides our heart always, not just seldom
Midst His precepts to thwart lustfulness’ cravings and carnality’s freedom.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His query
That rebukes us in our self-pity’s fury
As He disciplines our unbelief of its afflicting injury
Midst His correction to subdue bitterness’ sorrow and discontentment’s misery.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His teaching
That strengthens us in our conviction-stretching
As He upholds our steadfastness through His standards’ preaching
Midst His help to conquer indecency’s entangling and worldliness’ reaching.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His sovereignty
That leads us in our submission-humility
As He overrules our pride’s integrity
Midst His leadership to hinder haughtiness’ vanity and selfishness’ futility.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His direction
That governs us in our commitment-devotion
As He blesses our obedience along His instruction
Midst His goodness and greatness that grant us joy of our salvation.

Premium Member Tonight Is the Night

Oh! sweet verses of love, how gaily you recite tonight
Ballad of a pretty woman, lauding her knight tonight.

Rewarding entreaty, granting wish of love’s fantasy,
Tolling bells of glee, angels of bliss will alight tonight.

Thinking of romance beneath twinkles of euphoric stars,
Oh, I'm overjoyed, how quixotic feels moonlight tonight!

Pursuit of love endearing desires, anxiously inquires:
Will the blushing smile of beloved-eyes excite tonight?

On pillars of ardor, I built your castle of passions,
Will blossoms of your flowering longings delight tonight?

Voice of love that wrote our story, ruminates joyfully:
Embracing dreams of lovers, two souls will unite tonight.

Words of prophecy announce in epistle of romance:
Blazing fervor, spark of fervid hearts will ignite tonight.

Exulting in ardent kiss, as your name keeps calling me,
Existence of this prince vows to melt in your sight tonight.

Dazzling my zeal, seducing me in your sexy appeal;
Burning flame of my heart, your flirting eyes invite tonight.

Ah! our night shines in divine halo of Aphrodite,
Saluting love’s promise, epic fable we write tonight.
