Short Earn His Keep Poems

C-herish the final evening, 
E-ight more nights to go; 
L-et December twenty-second 
Y-earn to keep your faith aglow.

O-nce the one final evening
C-omes December thirty-first; 
H-appy new year will dawn, 
A-s the fireworks will burst.
V-iew of the last shadow opens the door for fresh blessing; 
E-agerly welcome the first morn after the final evening....

E-arnestly keep a promise, 
M-aking it through the rain; 
A-im to fulfill the holy vow, 
N-ever take God's name in vain.

L-earn to keep a promise, 
A-s you raise your right hand; 
C-omplete the solemn swear, 
O-bey the Creator's command.
R-emain true to your pledge, 
T-o reach the heavenly bliss; 
E-arly September seventeenth, eagerly keep a promise....

Dont make the mistakes we did, dont stop having fun
Be ready to help one another, but not to their land 
Put away your borders, let people be free to roam,
Always have a homebase, to call your own.
Make the politicians, earn  their keep, no free rides
Help those who help themselves, dont help the wasters to hide
From their own  responsibility to themselves or their country, read and learn....

Loss of faith as time goes by

Heard the call of God on high

Now the truth is chrystal clear

Lies as passed from year to year

Promises of streets of gold

Mansions there are bought and sold

Prophets prey on your desire

Trust their word or pits of fire

Purchase your future casket

Drop your coins in the basket

Selling myths to earn their keep

Holy shepherds fleece their sheep...

Buy and sell
Cast odd spell


Goods now churn
A kind turn


Lots to please
In fine ease


Tease and toss
Bear with loss


Earn your keep
Smile and weep


Deep dream daze
Craft fine craze


Odds and ends
Bleed your blend


Gain not vain
Stake most plain


Quest for more
Fill your stores


On the way
Live fine play


Cash is king
Watch time fling

For years and years
I have had shelter
Of love and warmth
Of life so tender

And then I took
My first big step
To break away 
From all I had

To join the world
of dogs and sharks
To earn my keep 
And learn to bark

It is so hard 
And I am low
I wish I could
Just drop and go

But when I think
of mum and dad
what they went through
to buy us bread

Tough and low
That this might be
It is what we have
That is, Reality....

K-in and friends alike
R-emember your birthday; 
I-nspiring words of well-wishers
S-end greetings in a joyful way.
T-wenty-third morn January
I-s beginning to break; 
A-nother dawn is offering
N-ew opportunities to take.

K-ind chances for better life
A-re waiting there immortally; 
R-are chance though for eternal glory
L-ives to knock once only.

Y-earn to keep the faith, 
A-s you cross the rough ocean; 
N-ever wane nor weaken,
T-o become the fortunate 
O-ne....
