Showing You the Way

S-eventeenth September
H-e had shown you the way; 
I-n the midst of darkness, 
R-ight path God did display.
L-ord had shown you the way, 
E-ven though you didn't ask; 
Y-our eyes were widely opened to realize your holy task.

D-ivine God showed you the way
O-f entering the heaven's gate; 
N-ever did you ignore the Father's call, 
D-enied not the Lord's love so great.
O-ne God had shown you the way, by disclosing His master plan; 
N-o other means to reach the crown, but to obey God's design for man.

M-aker had shown you the way, 
A-lthough you didn't seek; 
R-evealing the hidden mystery, 
K-illing the devil's deceitful trick.

D-espite the transgression, 
A-lmighty made you His servant; 
R-eforming you into a new man
U-ntil you emerged triumphant.
I-n spite of the status in life, God chose you to be His child; 
S-ince the beginning of the world, He is so merciful, tender and mild.

P-rowling lion-like devil
I-s roaming around daily; 
C-reating confusion and chaos, 
H-e snatches the man from the Almighty.
A-fter listening to God's words, close your eyes and pray; 
Y-our heart though must be opened for God is always showing you the way.

Nothing Can Ever Break Them

S-ince January 17th, '97, the world has been in many changes; 
M-arital tie though is untouched, no cuts and no damages.
I-ngrained and not broken as it is, 
T-wentieth year is in the offing; 
H-owever hard life may be, anniversary is worth remembering.

A-lmost China celebration, 
N-ineteen years to be exact; 
D-espite the temptation, both love and trust stay intact.

L-ifetime bond dies hard for the Lord directs the way; 
E-ra comes to an end but the love remains every day.
I-nspired by God's words, 
L-et the couple call upon Him; 
A-s they enjoy the moment, nothing can ever break them.

Premium Member Watching Movies - Word Play

What place not home do I love most of all?
As soon as weekends come, I have to go
To this place! Usually,  it’s at the mall.
Can you guess where I go? It’s to the show!
How eagerly I wait for Friday when
I get to see the latest films. What bliss!
New movies come; I bring some treats, and then,
Good times! For all my life I have done this.

My movie habit started in my youth.
On tv then, there was not much, so I
Viewed movies every chance I got. The truth
Is I could watch them all day long, and my
Escape into them has been happening
Since Spartacus first made my spirit sing!

Premium Member Life's Mysteries - Revised Yet Again

Live and learn; that is what all humans do.
Illumination of the mind may not
Flow quite as much as we would like it to.
Enlightenment forever man has sought.
Some things, however, we can’t know for sure.

Man searches for the truth of what things mean,
Yet often he is met by some detour
Since certain things man simply cannot glean,
The “ALL” of which are called life’s mysteries.
Evolving, man has solved things that were once
Riddles, but solved, these riddles gave life ease.
In otherwordly things, man is a dunce.
Elves, UFO’s, or where (on death) we go -
Such things folks claim are true we crave to KNOW!

Premium Member Hind Sight

M- oment by moment the hours tick by.
I- n each one I wonder and ask myself why,
S- ince you have left me I feel so alone,
S- o utterly empty when I should have known,
I-nviting you into my heart wasn't wise,
N- ot when I knew you had other ties.
G- one now the laughter and warm summer days.

Y- ou took them all with you not wanting to stay.
O- nly you could get under my skin like you did.
U- ntil you came along I was just a big kid.

T- hen I met you and everything changed,
E- xcept for the fact that you were estranged,
R- ecently leaving a home and a wife,
R- vealing to me you still wanted that life,
I- n all that you said and all that you did;
B- ut I wanted you so I put in my bid.
L- ike a fool I gambled my all and I lost.
Y- ou were honest with me and well worth the cost.

Premium Member Howling Wilderness

High winds have come to a land remote and wild.
Oak leaves tremble in the black of night
While critters to the underbrush for the present are exiled.
Like a giant thrashing fiend, wind roars with all its might,
Increasing in intensity as if something got it very riled.
Not many birds will still remain where there is great height.
Gone into thick shrubbery, they’ll hide away tonight.

Wolves huddle together, for they are clever.
Into their dens they go or seek shelter in other spots they find,
Lest things worsen, however, 
Dogs of the wild won’t leave any of their pack behind.
Emitting long howls, they communicate.
Rolling thunder proves the whipping wind is more than scowling.
Not too soon will the wailing tempest’s tantrum abate.
Every wolf joins the wind in prolonged persistent howling.
Since the fierce fiend has now begun screeching like a banshee,
Scintillating stars tonight the wilderness won’t likely see.

Unstoppable Force

One foot in front of the other,

Listening to the Mother.

Rumbling and tumbling,

Through the water.

And thought about,

The path it sought.

Since it began,

A trickle in the sand.

A puddle on the land,

S?ince time began.

Winding and Flowing,

Finding its way.

Eroding and growing,

Never knowing,

Where it's going.

Bestowing life,

T?o all along the way.

A path now showing,

It'll never sway,

Stays the course.

Patiently waiting,

Building up force.

A persistent existence,

Going the distance.

The path of least resistance,

Can change in an instant.

Is life any different?

Unstoppable,

Flowing freely.

Controllable,

Packaged neatly.

Who will you be?

Contained, trained,

Refrained from its domain.

Or connect together,

Let our river of life,

F?low on forever.

Premium Member Army Soldiers: Army of the USA

America's bulwark, strong and true,
Resolved to defend, the red, white, and blue.
Mighty warriors, brave and bold,
Years of service, stories paroled.


Since '75, a nation's might,
On fields of battle, day and night.
Loyalty and honor, their guiding star,
Defending freedom, near and far.
In every conflict, they stand tall,
Embracing duty, answering freedom's call.
Ready to fight, for liberty's flame,
Sacrifice and courage, their noble name.


All through history, their valor known,
Rising to challenges, never alone.
Modern heroes, with hearts of steel,
Yearning to shield, the public's zeal.


Onward they march, with purpose and pride,
Fighting for justice, on every tide.

The Army's strength, a powerful force,
Heroes among us, taking their course.
Every soldier, a testament to might,

Unity and valor, shining bright.
Serving with honor, a legacy grand,
All across the land, a helping hand.

Merry Christmas!

Mince Pies for sharing, I’m sure you’ll agree
Evergreen festive lights are a-glowing
Repeats aplenty, our Christmas TV
Recycling bins are all overflowing
Your decorations will brighten the door
Come on let’s celebrate, we’ll both say cheers
Have one more bottle? Go on if you’re sure
Reflective and maudlin’, that’s me drinking beers
Ikea candles, will lighten the way
Silent Night, Christmas Eve, here at long last
Tomorrow the grandkids, their special day
Memories, of people and places past
Angelic voices, won’t let me feel sad
Somehow it’s magic, Feliz Navidad!

Mighty Hand of the Lord

M-ighty hand of the Lord 
A-llows you to have faith; 
R-ugged weather can turn 
I-nto warm day that we wait. 
E-ndless power of the Lord works in mysterious ways; 
L-et your heart totally trust in Almighty Father's grace. 

G-od's mighty hand operates, 
O-ctober eighteenth day; 
N-either arm will hinder, 
Z-ealously wait as you pray. 
A-lmighty God's strong hand 
L-ets you win over the strife; 
E-very blessing He endows 
S-atisfies your righteous life. 

D-ue to the Lord's hand, 
A-ll heartaches disappear; 
S-ince you call His name, 
C-omfort dries every tear. 
I-mplore Him to defend you, using the double-edged sword; 
L, -et the devil be beaten by mighty hand of the Lord.
