Whistling shells and screams of torture
Blood clot gurgles death bell tolls
Hell of pain in body enthrals
Danger rings apprehension stalls...

Jesus is in our corner today,
Best foot forward, I say,
He never left our side,
From faith, don't hide,
Get ready, thanks always,
To accept blessings, His way,
His love shines so strong,
For our faith, we pray along,
Part of our living we face,
Benefits for the human race....

Best foot forward, a winning smile
Such roles we oft enact
Vibrant, childlike heart, free from guile
Has no need for such tact

Shed off ego armour
Each soul our paramour 
Since bliss throbs enamour

Let’s move onward
Best foot forward

MONDAY



Climbing the steep hill of Monday
Is starting to pall,
And the warm crest of Wednesday lunchtime
Is forever just two steps out of reach.
The rocks and slips of the rising 
Cut into my soul and weary me: 
Before I even set my best foot forward,
Or get my first wind, I'm starting to  fall....

the Seagulls bluff
his claws full of sentences
Languid beads of still water
with Neptunes panacea
Pirates tip toeing
the helter skelter
of a madman's voix
Yet the gentle way
Autumn wheat chaffing
beckoning the best years of your life
Take your stand sang the seagull
Unwrap your plans
Take your best foot forward...

Seagulls cast aquarium swirls
Translucent panacea coats the day
Cloudy church  ammonites lear
A child within a Man
has choices to make
he is hastened by the wind
Cold Waterfalls
with Autumn Wheat chaff
Put your best foot forward
Unwrap your plans
To touch the earth
and see the fathoms glow
Avert your glance
to the unsprung mile...

certainly he
was unkempt
but she hadn’t
found that out
until it was a
tad too late when
the dishes were 
being washed 
with cold water &
he hadn’t a care
in the world for
the so-called
“law,”
now one might
say that she saw
it coming but they
always put their
best foot forward
when they be
seeking the prize,
man & woman
are both guilty to
the core for 
such an impulse &
sooner or later
those first 
impressions end
up showing their
true colors....

Meeting begins, each puts best foot forward,
in as outer appearances do go,
behind banter lurk motives untoward,
sweet words incongruent with intent low,
just waiting to land a deadly death blow.
Weary of blood and gore, been here before,
we sift subterfuge and get to the core,
our call being, it’s not winner take all,
both sides must rejoice, seeking an encore,
in righteousness thus, players standing tall.

Who loves me enough to keep track of me by the color of the sky?
Who is the one who still loves me if I win, loose or die?
 My Dad
He stands among a chosen few
There are a lot things for him to do
Obligations, situations countries all a mess
He puts his best foot forward and does his best
 My dad loves me and I love him to
When we are together theres nothing us two 
Couldn't do, because we are the same, nothing new
 My dad and I the same and God knows why

From long nights,
To hard work. 
I’ve put my best foot forward, 
Striding into my future. 

I’ve cancelled plans, 
Missed meals, 
And gone without sleep, 
But man this feeling. 
It’s one you can’t beat 

They say they’re proud. 
I’ve really turned my life around.
From frequent absences, 
Missing assignments, 
And constant tardy’s. 
 
 All my Blood, 
All that Sweat, 
And All those Tears
Over the years. 
None going to waste, 
They motivated me to win this race....
