Russian spy A. Litvinenko
Had no heart, for a status quo;
But, when he revealed his odium,
He earned the deadly polonium.
a penny saved is
a penny earned. just make sure
you spend it wisely,
give to the charity of
your choice and pay your taxes.
How can that be God?
I did not do anything
I don’t think I deserve it
I don’t think I have earned it
Why You are so good to me?
"Eric's First Rule of Wisdom"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Earned respect is cherished like building our destined days in Eternity.....
According to Sigmund Keeple
Bad things happen to good people
The Karma rule
Whacks the cruel
Like lightning striking a steeple
Respect can not be awarded
Respect is invariably earned
And those who may think otherwise
Are bound to get their fingers burned
I willingly pay a hard-earned fortune
just to lose excess
weight.
Many others have the misfortune
of having nothing
to eat.
Reading
Dr. James E. Martin
©May, 2013
Reading is an education, many have learned,
Its results are gigantic and enjoyably earned.
When you empty out your
Handfuls of time and drink
From the flask of forever.
You have made it home,
For Heaven is earned, not given!
Trust is not given
its earned
i gave
you lied and you lost
now you start over
how long will it take
maybe never
i dont know
its up to you
Willie Howard Mays
set the baseball world ablaze
for many an NL MVP he did bid
and earned the sobriquet Say Hey Kid
There once was a man from the city
Who always thought himself witty
He let loose a joke
Which earned him a poke
Now he finds himself gritty
Our POTUS has no love for peace
For profit is earned by caprice
No treaty will bind
Donald Trump's mind
Its locked on to greasing the fleece!
Today I’m thankful for my ability to love…
and when someone else’s love I’ve earned
for the feeling in my heart…
when my love is returned.
Eric Patrick Clapton
failed at being a sea captain
great guitarist who started many bands
and earned the sobriquet Slow Hand
Some
are given
Some
are taken
Some
are softly earned
Do not play
with fire and shadows
Surely
you'll be burned
Form:
Respect is, earned by the giving of it.
Manners are the vehicle by which we
gift one another that respect.
Be Generous.
My own proverb........
"Happiness cannot be gained, it is earned by your heart"
Ravi Sathasivam / Sri Lanka

a cent, I feel puny
a nickel, I shine
and the dime you gave me
as I asked for the time
the dollar to be earned
to make a pile but not a shield.
Trump gained considerable wealth
But it took a toll on his health
So all that Trump earned
Will be overturned
As doctors collect wealth by stealth!
Ex-poet Marcel Broodhaers
as an untrained artist earned his spurs
Art definied theories his particular thing
in practical demos & installation bling
A lifetime lived
Lessons learnt
Knowledge gained
Respect earned
Keep life simple
Acquire peace of mind
Know compassion
Be kind
Form:
Beyond hope
and rarer than love
trust is earned
over time
by granting unrestricted
access to your heart.
dear friends ~
believe me when I say
retirement feels well earned
when you have toiled and
worked hard every day
