Short Straight And Narrow Poems

Edith Piaf was a sparrow
Who ignored the "straight and narrow"
No pure white dove
She sang for love
Just as wild as Cupid's arrow...

20 year old, Charo,
Was not on the straight and narrow.
Divided boys from the men. Her “cuchi-cuchi” hips got
her married to 60 year old Xavier Cugat....

Contest Name	SERENITY RESPONSE 

Serenity is hard to find,
The path not straight, but narrow winds
Dark glasses shades, the thought of mind,
Till it’s hard to focus,
Blind.

Guardian angel who is at my side
  To hear my woes and sighs.
  My prayers go to the Lord
  For I have faith in him and truly love.
  Strength and deliverance I ask of thee
  To keep me on the straight and narrow path 
  Be at my side day and night to rule and guide 
  My life.

broken windows how do i see out
broken doors who have the key, let me out 
broken floors, fall though, fall out
broken toys, how do i figure it out
broken moms, broken dads all they do is bail out
broken boys, broken girls in a world without
broken dreams all they do is fade out
broken becomes crooked,crooked becomes straight
and straight is narrow and narrow is the way out...

It's morning once more, dear Lord draweth near
Once more I'm beset with heartache and fear.

I'm still in prison for not having a home,
but through those steel bars Your spirit has flown.

To stand here beside me through another long day
to patiently guide me on the straight and narrow way.

To gently reassure me this too shall pass by
and soon You will call me to my home in the sky....

Must I hold your presents;
Must I speak your words;
Must I see your visions;
STOP!
It's so observe: (WHAT)
Holding on to you passions;
Running off course;
Wondering ever so what could be worse;
Hush
Blind
GO!
Dream it so;
Letting go of hurts and pains;
Driving the straight and narrow;
Soothing rational birth;
See no evil, hear nothing either

Possibilities I cannot shake
 
Visions in my eyes that are fake

Two roads to freedom which one to take

Drowning forever in a doubting lake

Choices of the heart not easy to make

The answers to the questions start to flake

The straight and narrow turns to snake

The turn of the tide seeks a break

The soul of destiny is what's at stake

Lightly flying on the emotional wake

Unconsciously from our dreams we are awake...

So innocent as they fall
Within each one lies a hidden message 
Cutting down your visibility 
Preparing you for a massive recklage 

Disrespectful in its nature 
Smacking those in the way,
No love lost as the clouds form
For its moisture, is here to stay

Graceful in its intent 
Some may kiss you, some may miss you
Traveling rapidly down straight and narrow
Many fell as expected, others took another avenue...

A Single Shadow
Written: by Miracle Man Tom
8/15/2017

Our goal should be standing so near Jesus,
That the Devil observes a single shadow;
Show us ourselves as others might see us,
And let the love in our heart’s overflow.

You don’t have to think of me as an Eagle, 
Just don’t mistake me for a lowly sparrow.
For I now follow Jesus, the one who’s regal,
This keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Love like this doesn’t last forever
So run with me to the land of dreams
To us be trusted this endeavor
Light footed steps on wooden beams

Take my heart
Loose an arrow
Make a start
Straight and narrow

Just don’t leave
This one’s afraid
Her heart on her sleeve
She fears that day

Love like this doesn’t last forever
So stay with me in the land of dreams
To us be trusted this endeavor
Careful steps on wooden beams...

She was a Preacher’s daughter and a little Georgia peach,
With a slow southern drawl in her unassuming speech.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a shape that caught the eye,
Which made her God-fearing father just want to sigh…

He preached in his sermons to turn the other cheek,
But she had to conquer an unrelenting stubborn streak.
“Stay on the straight and narrow,” her Dad warned her with a frown.
“God is watching up there… you don’t want to let Him down.”...

Like The sword of truth
His words stab at my heart.
He paces back and forth,
The determination of his goal,
Is now made evident in my mind.
Theough help, last I though needed,
Each word he spoke burned with sincerity
My hearts door opened once more,
My oldest friend entered once again
Upon his hands scars did show.
Proof of my constant sins
Yet a sign of hope and forgiveness.
This man, yet another instrument of God
Kept my soul on the straight and narrow....

I walked the straight and narrow; took a flying leap of faith.
I staked the risk of seven lives. She asked me for an eighth.
I gazed across the frozen pond she wanted me to cross.
I weighed the possibilities, the profit and the loss.
I judged it a feasible burden, and so
I abandoned a wise friend’s advice;
I filled my pockets with rocks as
I prepared to cross thin ice.
I walked the straight… 
I staked the risk… 
I gazed across… 
I weighed…
I judged…
I …

So i guess this is it, 
getting no where
rather fast.  
I can't seem to
live down the past.
The wandering stray.
Such the untimely outcast.
His closest friends, or  are 
they his enemies.
Dragging him down 
into their dirt.
Won't they leave him
to his own tragedies?
For all he wants to do 
is walk the straight and narrow.
Their intent on pushing him 
off the path.
And Now he's locked out of his house 
and all he wants to do is take a bath.....................

Have You
Fallen From Grace
By: Tom Wright
5/26/99

Within your love
let me once more abide.
Your face from me, Dear Lord,
please don't hide.
For since the time I erred
and fell from Grace.
I have not Lord, until now,
sought your face.

Those things in life
that wrongfully I have done.
I'll lay at your feet Lord,
one by one.
Then when at last
you've let me have my say
I pray you'll place my feet once more
on your straight and narrow way.

What is the plane on which we measure
One’s earthly pain and earthly pleasure?
For some will sooner have the latter,
Though pain’s what makes our pleasure matter.

A thorny rose may prick a finger,
But thornless roses hardly linger.
To have her sacred, satin pedal
God’s natural law we mustn’t meddle.

Perhaps the line is like an arrow,
While curved in flight, strikes straight and narrow.
How can we joy in God’s great treasure
Without our cries of pain and pleasure?......

RENEW the mind for the restoration of the soul

ESCAPE the prison of self will and worldly pleasure

PURSUE with passion the path of righteousness

EVIL lurks around the corner and in our hearts

NEWNESS of life requires a turning away

TURNING completely around requires Grace

ACTIVATE the new life and lean upon The Lord

'NO' means no, so stop; yes means yes, so do it

CONSENT not to eat from forbidden fruit trees

ENTER through the straight and narrow gate

AIRPORT    FISH



Silver fish glide down to the bottom of the air ocean to feed.

Reprovisioned,  they leap up again, well-behaved breed.

Seen from the tower glass panels they  move in silent control,

Constantly,  around the ocean, always alone, never in shoal,

Silently monitored by beeping flickering radar screen.

Their silver fins  shimmering in sunlit sheen, 

Silver noses pressing orderly, eagerly  in the air-bath; 

Silver trails show their straight and narrow path....
