One Percent Chance of Win
Hard to say never give up!
It's very simple when say,
But when we work on it
It's more difficult than we think.
Yet, I say never give up
Perhaps, you get,what you want,
But remember one percent chance
Too much to win!

When United win I live again
Sorry, I just had to add this in here – United. Kids. Wife. In that order.
I’ve cried in pubs and danced in streets,
Thrown fists at skies, dropped to my knees.
When United score, it ain’t just a goal—
It’s fire in the chest, it’s feeding my soul.
Raised on scraps and second-hand boots,
But I had dreams in red

Passage
If you can breathe through it
You can get through it
If you can get through it
You can rise
If you can breathe through it
You can see your way through it
If you can see your way through it
You can fly
If you can breathe through it
You can push through it
If you can push through it
You can begin…again

The Camel
If a camel is the ship of the desert
then speaking equally
a ship is the camel of the sea
altho' a camel can go without water
for up to seven months
a ship without water on which to float
is neither a barque a barge nor boat
as the camel needs food
to get over the humps
it seems like a dromedary
conundrum to

Change
Some days are good
some days are bad
some may be OK
while the rest could be
the very best you ever had
tho' there are those
who go
with what they know
always stay the same
consistency may be the key
but I prefer to up my game
some hands you win
some hands you lose
sometimes you break even
then there's when you have to pay your

Nothing to win nothing to lose
There is lots of work to be done
But there is nothing to be won
There are people that I have to greet
And promises that I have to keep.
The barking dogs in the street
Have nothing to eat they roam
The streets all night putting up
A fight attacking the people the see
And chasing the cars up and down
The

The Prismatic Self - POTD
"Poetry is important to the writer but I feel it is all about the reader."
By Poet
Today as I open up my computer what will I see,
a contest looking back at me?
As I read the rules I must decide is this one for me,
or will it haunt me if I turn it away?
No mask needed

Always the slave of
Yes, master,
I will throw away all emotions
and abandon all sorts of love.
I will bury all thoughts
that soften the mind
and banish my tears
to the clouds above.
I will cut out my heart
to win and win,
that is what we need to be,
always, the slave of.

Basketball Picks

In making his basketball picks.
He knew it all well,
How each bracket fell,
But always too late with his clicks.

Run Girl Run
Run, Girl, Run
She was just eleven, small and spry,
Her father said, “You’re due, oh my…”
A spanking, harsh, the kind she knew,
But this time she thought, “Not today, not you.”
He called her brothers, big and loud,
“Go catch your sister—make me proud!”
She took off running, barefoot and wild,
With twenty meters head start, a desperate child.
The boys gave

Press On To Win Your Spiritual Prize - Philippians 3: 12-14
Be humble in your personality
knowing the prize set before you
humanly speaking it seems impossible
but God is calling what you are to do
Perfection can't be found in this life
so make no claim to have done so
but make it your constant aim
that godly traits to consistently show
The Apostle here speaks plainly
that Christ Jesus held him true
to follow
