Along the highways of life,
There must be sacrifice.
Each of us is on a mission.
Each must make a decision.
We must sit, walk, and stand,
while avoiding quicksand.
Wise as serpents, bold as lions,
and harmless as doves.
Not allowing ourselves to become bitter,
but to be made sweeter by God' s love.
To those stumbling without light,
may I be a towering beckon in the night.
And when our work is finished under the sun,
May God say, "Good and faithful servant, well done".
The devil is in the detail,
I think that's very true.
All the I's dotted
And every T crossed, too.
A plan or scheme needs perfection,
Giving new ideas and points of view
The more brain power selection
It will make more details ensue.
The devil is in the detail
Every single one.
Then, when the process is complete
It will be a job well done.
I have something to say
Today is Milton Hankins's Birthday,
We wish Milt a day of joy
As we congratulate our Birthday Boy
Milt has reached the age of 81,
Many hearts, he must have won
With a flourish of his pen
He can recapture his youth again
He is a poet extraordinaire,
He writes with knowledge and with flair,
He makes some poetry seem bland
As he writes poetic forms that are
Difficult to command.
So let us all shout loud and clear,
So that Milt is sure to hear
"Happy Birthday" Wow! 81
Bringing good health and contentment
Laughter and Fun!
The Pied Piper performed perfectly his malevolent melodies
Work well* done warrants God's worthy wages.
*Galatians 6:9 - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Well done good and faithful servant, well done good and faithful servant that's what I want to hear him say. You have been faithful over a few things, so I will bless you over many things. Well done, good and faithful servant, well done. That's what I want you to say when I step into your presence, well done my good and faithful servant well done. Surrounded by Your glory, and my loved ones who have gone before me. There's no place I would rather be, but forever in Your presence. I'd rather be where love and peace is everlasting. Palace sin and death is no more. I want to hear You welcome me in Your Kingdom where I will be forever free. Well done, well done. In You Jesus the victory has all ready been won. Well done, well done thank You You Lord.
There she stood, in a room all spic and span
Her name was Dorothea – the nun of Maryland
Ever so lightly, she picked flowers day and night
Oh! She was indeed the gift of God that did all her tasks
Did she happen to disobey her superiors and anger the ones above?
Obedient, classy and wise – the gift of God did as she was told.
Rummaging through antiques, she have found the key
Another key that held lies instead of answers, unfortunately.
We've been away too long,
And the friendship between us is no longer there.
And we've known about it for a long time
Before the end of everything.
We came back and everything was destroyed,
And our world no longer exists.
All gifts are thrown like garbage,
In the depths of other people's empty apartments.
Tell me, are you still single?
How do you plan to live now?
I remember your deep voice,
Who helped me get through it.
I'm sorry for the questions,
I'm interested in how life turned out.
I see I've lost some weight,
And, well done, I started Smoking less.
Our future was blown up,
And there is no way to take it back.
Everything that was between us.,
It was strange and out of place.
I am a newborn to this world -
No past or other people's shackles.
The old life completely burned out,
And somewhere lost in the clouds.
Summer cooking on the beach,
Slap the sunblock where I can’t reach,
Baking in this broiling sun,
Ever since the day begun.
I’m roasting alive can’t you tell?
Touch my skin and I’ll scream like hell!
This is more than an alarming tan,
Someone said I’m a lobster man.
Sitting here I continue to broil,
Want some popcorn, just add some oil,
I’m finished now, I’m well done,
Cooking here in the summer sun.

Well done
If you can’t do what you love
Then love what you do
This may sound rather cheesy
But nonetheless it’s true
Not every job that should be done
Will have the same attraction
And then again not every job
Will promise satisfaction
However fancy it may be
However high the pay
Still this is not a guarantee
That it will make your day
A job must have real purpose
Be it fancy, fine or strange
And what makes it important
Is when it brings about real change
When it serves the greater multitude
Be it the rich or poor
When it lays a bridge for progress
Or creates an open door
And bridges make connections
As doors lead to what is new
And new things create new chances
Be it many or just a few
And new chances bring new blessings
And when counted one by one
Each blessing shows the value of
A job well done.

Today, yes today, he’s going on a trip,
A trip to the dusty side of town,
And when the truck pulls up there,
He merrily walks on down
The ramp to the brand new yard,
Where he’s paraded…. glorified,
And then he hears the man call out “SOLD”,
And he’s ushered to the side
Where he gets another inspection,
By the man with a stunning gun,
And his brains are sprayed all over the floor,
And he’s lifted up and hung
Then he’s drained of all he ever was,
Every thought and yearn and ache,
Till, by five days later on,
He gets eaten as a steak.
let all say
this is a new day
hes paiding the way
he got in
try to make friends
my repect he won
JOB WELL DONE
J-ob well-done is nice,
U-nfinished work is not;
L-et the task be completed
I-n time while the day is hot.
E-vening chill will come, as raindrops shall fall;
T-wilight will soon appear, waste no chance at all.
C-all the shots, make it right,
A-ugust twenty-first day;
N-ever lose opportunity,
E-arly result comes your way.
D-o it with all your might from the rising of the sun;
O-nce you reach the deadline, you've made a job well-done.
How much
Is six times six?
If you say it's thirty six,
You are absolutely perfect.
Well Done.
Well Done
All used to assure me well done guy
I was not enough in that running high
The way they backed up if was fullest
Why now too I am after far that truest
But I believe the motivation in I grew
The tune of appreciation was not a few
Sweet nectar and free love emotional
Later I realized stood being structural
An inspiration in initial stage of that firm
Kept me running always pushing multiform
The reason which geared always brilliant
Satisfaction used to appear in all socialite
A tune of favor requires so in life always
Smiles from all families and relatives O guys
So keep sharing happy with all promisingly
That is the way to remain full and favorably.
