You Know Una

She is the only one for me
What a difficult place to be?
Sandwiched between two boys
No place for dolls, among the toys

She took many hits on the road
A jump from a bus, I failed to board
A thrashing for a wardrobe fire, I lit
Stood up for me when I could only sit

In quick time, her dreams became valid
From school life to Ivy league rapid
Watched as I sprinted, stumbled, fell flat
The maze nearly ate up another rat

Loyal and pragmatic to a fault
Whenever life’s hilIs, I couldn’t pole vault
On a road from the circus, watched me nearly die
In her brush with death, I could not fly

Another milestone for her, no more
We celebrate being siblings, a whole three score
Thankful for a sister so strong and wise
Always ready to help her brother rise

Happy Birthday Una and many more
This time in rhyme, I will be at the fore
I am proud of you and wish you well
So much love, about which to tell

Madah: Highest Be Praised

Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be true to the king that rule,
Praise be the realm his people's home,
Praise be the milestone a king and his throne,
Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be an empire, built by love's desire,
Praise be passing looks of history books,
Praise be an emperor empire's virtuous measurer,
Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be to our Lord of the Most High!

That-to-that; hither then thither…
Here I am with my special child
exuberantly racing as one
around love’s bonding moments
driving pencils, propelled by hope
zooming upward, sliding downward
toward flight destination~~~

Dot-to-dot… one-two-three…
Here we are as mentor-student
bursting midst glee for correct lines 
checking that connections make sense
against erasures for crooked marks
midst claps and high-five gestures
since milestone is reached freely 
conquering spastic strains~~~

Up-and-down… down-and-up…
Here is our masterpiece together
after mirth-filled dot-to-dot pursuit!
Surpassing number-identification
my son exercises coloring skill
revealing artistic creation
of mom propelling son 
along swing delight---
Then in sign language
he praises* God 
and thanks me 
with sweet hug.

*Psalm 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

WITH MY HAND ON MY HEART-MYSTIC

With my hand on my heart, I vow
to you Lord with gratitude and how
I reach this milestone of my life with
pure joy, happiness is Your doeth.

With a hand on my heart, I was so
touched reading Rama’s tribute, so
heartwarming, tenderly reaching
my soul, lifting my spirit, so humbling. 

With a hand on my heart and the other
holding a mic, I thanked my brothers,
sisters and their families for coming
to celebrate me with all their loving.

My friends for joining me to party,
bringing good wishes and all hearty.
My grandchildren being all together
for its kind of hard for all be together.

With a hand in my heart, I looked at
my two daughters with admiration that
tears of joy ran down while hugging
and kissing them, after their honoring.

With a hand in my heart, I thanked all
my children celebrating with me with all
their affection and caring for I know even
with my two speechless sons, I believe in.

With a hand in my heart, I feel gratitude,
appreciation, joy, happiness and solitude
with all the important people in my life
celebrating me and for You, giving me life.

Premium Member Beholding the Saviour's Triumph

Leaving heavenly throne to reach-out mankind, the Messiah bore the status of condescension: His birth in the Bethlehem manger brought to Earth’s calendar a divine milestone, while glorious angelic choir and awed shepherds welcomed His babyhood.

offering love’s best
incarnation triumphant
eternal life reigns

Servant-leadership --- Christ exemplified as He ministered with mercy’s optimized best: healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, quickening the dead, forgiving the repentant, pronouncing beatitudes, drawing humanity nigh to the Almighty.

utmost caring shown
compassion indeed at work
blissful selflessness

Falsely accused with blasphemy unpardonable, betrayed by intimate companions, indicted to pay sins’ penalty, Jesus bore the cross to Calvary, giving up the ghost to reconcile sinners to the holy Creator: freeing those who trust Him from iniquities’ condemnation, assuring them heaven’s security, and granting peace so blissful.

grace and justice met
redemption truly fulfilled
blest crucifixion

Entombed, verily secured; yet after three days of burial, the Saviour rose amidst guarding soldiers manifesting His omnipotence: mighty wonder proving His expertise in impossibilities, miraculous act only the Sovereign can do and marvelous magnificence against vanity of temporal existence.

power over grave
resurrection smiting death
hope of believers

Heeded toward the Father above, the Lord entrusted the Great commission-fruition to His church: to build lives, spread His love, exalt His name through the Holy Spirit’s guidance, gearing, guarding, and girding while advancing His kingdom*.
 
pursuits accomplished
ascension so jubilant
to come again soon

*Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Can'T Touch My Toes

Woke up this morning
With news headlines spawning
I do not know if it's winter yet
Because of old age I often forget
Got to realise how weird it is
When I can brush my teeth
And scratch my nose
But try as I might
I just can't touch my toes

Wasn't too bothered when
Often times back ache set in
And even when Viagra
Didn't give me the desired vim
But this is not a funny joke
The morning when I woke
And begin to realize
That I could twist my hip
Do a jig
But try as I might ,
I just can't tough my toes.


Pinocchio was a lier
Kristine Keeler was a hooker
And Lord Lampton got exposed
But trouble comes in different parcels
But where mine is heading
God only knows
When my wallet drop on the floor
Bend down to pick it up
Like brass monkey in winter
The entire lumber vertebrae, froze


Often times mi get a pain in the neck
When it comes, I can deal with it
Sometimes mi love to dance
Do a foxtrot and even a quickstep
But that is no compensation
When mi toe nail look like talon
And size ten no longer fit mi
But try as I might to cover them
With knitted socks, mi get since when
Its a doomed attempt
Flexibility is now a distant memory
And back ache now my closest friend

Mi know young people 
Will laugh at old people's talk
But it only seems like yesterday
When I too was laughing
But today , I am walking the walk.
The same thing whey a reach mi
Is the same thing a happen to mi friend
But if you think it can't reach you
You better think again

Mi used to be a little sprite
Do head spins and bouncing somersaults
Do some boxing, and throw down a fight
But time travels faster than lightening
And my black hair overdosed on whitening
So before you reach my milestone
Heed my warning, get enlighten
That one day, not so far away
Things are going to be past memories
Because try as you might
You may bend your knees ,
Scratch your nose
Try as you might
You just can't touch your toes.

Premium Member Unbeknownst To Rhymezone

Making it known in the twilight zone, 
an unknown, error-prone player reached a milestone 
using  follicle stimulating hormone 
to produce a phytohormone clone of Alicia Silvestone 
honed from a fully grown breastbone and stray histones.
Above the wind blown ozone-  a moss-grown millstone
 the well known capstone of a milestone not foreknown.

Better known was Paula Poundstone 
for taking growth hormone when fully grown 
who could hold her own against the overblown overtone-
of reggaeton,
to win a starring role in Philosopher’s Stone, 

You may think this poem is overblown 
An alphabet kaliedophone.
A mining of words that are super unknown
And bemoan its pretentious overtone.
A poem that’s nothing but shadow and stone
Contrived to tickle your funny bone.

Nose To the Grindstone

1/13/21



Living among animals, some of which albino
Other lifeforms gigundo or micro

Folks in the same or different time zones
Had to keep my nose to the grindstone
And put down the Iphone
Spent time outdoors on my own
The beauty of it all, left my mind blown
Out among so many pinecones
I can feel it in my bones

Business conducted in person or by phone
Working toward another milestone
I know
Never underestimate thy foe

The stem on the plant was a rhizome
And this other plant had all these trichomes
Growing and dying in and out of similar or different biomes
Nearby clear waters or on the surface is a white foam
People living homeless, and others in a nice home
Sometimes for a cat or dog, the doctors prescribed Visbiome

The area was currently a no fly zone
Due to a cyclone

Was not even close or in the strike zone
Close to and far from Limestone
It was made of fine stones
Or possibly made with rhinestone
