Happy Days
Each is given breath, above soil, toil and glory;
mouths expel a tirade,behind a masquerade.
Each born pure in heart, soon shattered;
broken jagged pieces maybe scattered.
Each feels the beats hidden deep inside;
It struggles to love, but rages! against tears cried.
Each supplied with both organs, and need;
at the exhausted moment, emitting seed.
Each with eyes, unable to detect lies;
a tongue its whip sting, able to chastise.
Each is not supplied in rubies and gold;
a fool realises, in late life now is to olde.
Each foot step trudge, to the hole in soil;
hazily remembers the glory, not the toil.
Happy days indeed !
In reply to Graig's contest using the example he supplied, with minimum effort on my part.
She signed her name, "Mary"
And she knew that she'd been had
Now, she'd never get the A
So she took it on the Lam....................................b
supplied* with God's wealth
coconut is tree of life...
grand from womb to tomb
*Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Rain comes and just falls to give all gain
Air flows gently to permeate by being fair
Sun gives all light to create in lives fun
Moon has beauty to bestow as a boon
Sea flows incessantly for us to happily see
Earth bears all the burdens with real mirth
Water is kindly given by the noble Creator
Fragrance is a gift supplied with brilliance
Love is a sacred feeling taming us all now
Stars are the souls that died during wars
Blue Sky has God who will surely rescue
Flowers are kind donation to all the lovers
Kind words are coined to pacify the mind
Touch with mercy will solve every hitch
Nature acts as a preacher and teacher
Souls that live have their own fine goals
Every creature to live happily is necessary
Mercy must replace hatred and jealousy
Understanding will make living outstanding
Embrace all lovingly to live life with grace.
Vessel of blessings
ready to share love
oozing with blest hope
midst joy-bubbling peace…
such heart I pray for.
Grace receptacle
bearing contentment
seeks to overflow
with blissful delight…
Lord, grant me that soul.
Horn supplied with oil
reaching-out sans doubt
led by light divine
treading service paths…
my steps follow on.
Leaving cache status
toward vibrant use
indeed triumphant
cheerful despite gloom…
my spirit worships.
Propped by truth-anchor
cleaving to God’s might
I yield selfish will
pleasing my life Source…
as faith perseveres.
*Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him… he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name…

Secured by the Saviour’s seal, I'm satisfied*
Settled upon Scriptures’ salvation-security...
Separated against satanic strongholds
Standing despite stormy sorrows and sufferings...
Supplied with grace-sufficiency
Succeeding as a faithful steward though struggling from sins...
Surely soulwinning, serving, supplicating
Savouring God’s love, showing His compassion sincerely...
Sharing His goodness of kindness-touch with steadfastness
Supernaturally sowing righteousness’ seeds.
Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

With God as the Source of blessings* ever
Along His gift of eternal life that fails never
Heart of gratitude marking us as praise-filled believer
Should be our response, being His benefits’ receiver.
Supplied with Christ’s blessings bounty
We are assured of His generosity
Let’s flee from materialism’s futility
Instead, prioritize heavenly wealth of joyous spirituality.
Seeking first the Lord’s kingdom and His righteousness
We are not to chase fleeting financial blessings’ happiness
As His faithful stewards, we please Him with our obedient willingness
Serving Him, while ministering to others along His power’s readiness.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

TAKE THE GLOVES OFF
Supplied with boxing gloves,
the size of eyes, nose, mouth, teeth
man, woman, child
like stampeding steeds
with steam of a motorcar
the spring released
what the blank happened —
blackout of the human race
~
Supplied with hands that love,
a daisy chain with fresh Spring
newborn race twists smiles
and kindness into serenity beads
hugs handed out like delicious treats
harmony dancing in the streets
ice packs and dentists no longer needed
hate and violence no longer seeded

Exceptional thought entered my old head
sure this was an excellent idea
when discussed with my wife filled her with dread
so drove to ikea, showing no fear
Supplied with television cabinet
loaded my car, staff so good, never rude
bought with pride definitely no regret
Viewed how to easily build on YouTube,
now at home bits all over the lounge floor
blank, total dismay, talking to myself
where's this go, how does that fit, I'm not sure
is this top, bottom, or is it a shelf,
hours went by, couldn't do it to save my life
put together in minutes by my wife.
A tribute to Viv Wigley :- regarding his blog on his flat pack success versus my failure.
In 1942 when the Germans and Japanese
Were rampant across the world during WW II
The British needed to raise the moral
Of their troops who were under pressure in the field
So the government bought up
All the tea available on the planet
So their troops were supplied with tea
Making a brew up became important to them
They cooked it in the desert on a Bengazi burner
Or on ships in the Atlantic and Pacific
On battlefields across Asia and Europe
British soldiers brewed up
And their morale was improved
So the humble cuppa helped win the war.

Today I have a treasure chest with gifts so full and free:
Redemption through the precious blood Christ shed on Calvary.
Empowered by His Spirit now to live the life I should,
Assurance from His promises that all things work for good.
Sufficiently supplied with all my need there through His grace,
Upheld when I go through life’s trials, whatever I may face.
Rest from my labored, weary soul when I take time to pray;
Each thing’s important to the Lord, He does not turn away.
Comfort when I suffer loss of someone dear to me,
Heaven’s home where I will go to dwell eternally.
Eternal life, the best of all, the treasures that He gave;
Security there in His hand—I am forever saved!
Today I shared my treasure chest and just SOME gifts have shown;
And pray you own a treasure chest just like the one I own.
Acrostic poem of TREASURE CHEST
Finding love is hard to master
Can I not make this go any faster
Oh please this is going to be a disaster
Something just knocked at my door
I wonder what is in store
Oh so excited I just cant ignore
What is this sound I hear
Is my love near
Oh now I am supplied with fear
I see a figure of smoke
I feel someones poke
Oh no what if its just a joke
Now seeing a body lying on the ground
I am alone and no one is around
Oh is it him I found
He looks as if dead
Is this all in my head
Oh never will this happen again
