A Pavement's Width

Six abreast, fanned out,
young as the morning
and angry as the day to come,
near impenetrable, 
but for some bold response;
I'll not bother to challenge,
I'll forcefully go my way,
and besides, no reasoning 
would be warranted.
One alone, giving way,
old as the night
and withered as the day behind,
near incomprehensible,
but for the fact that I know;
I'll not stop to enquire,
I'll march by ashamed,
and besides, no answer 
would be bold enough.
I already know why anyway.

Growing In Truth

Growing In Truth
              By Charles Gerald Patrick Chard 2nd
              Gavri Hanita Hazaka Abir Selek 2nd

If no love and no faith, then no faith, no results,
Wiithout faith in GOD then it's GOD we insult,
For we must first believe that GOD is,
For faith in HIS Word given to us is HIS,
Faith. Love, forgiveness, and healing, is a spiritual force,
We as believer walk in these daily ofcourse,
When you believe in the LORD with your whole heart,
Then forgiveness with Love within become a great part,
For Love in forgiveness covers a multitude of sin's,
Walking in GOD's Love each day  you will win,
The heart of any believer must be fixed and established,
For GOD's great Love on us does HE lavish,
We love other's because Jesus said too,
Those things the Word states we will do,
The Joy of the LORD is my daily strength,
HIS Love is so vast beyond all hiegth, width, deapth, or Length, 
This kind of Love in me deeply dwells,
I will witness this Love to others and telll.

Premium Member I Now Pronounce You, Hus-Band-Width and Wifi

I was sick of seeing one plate, fork, and knife
And that lonely cup of drink
As if I was a piece in a painted still life
Like those dishes placed in the sink

So I clicked on a dating site as the others
Seeking a fine baby boomer
And in time chose one of the likeliest lovers
Who laughed at my sense of humor.

We emailed, and Facebooked and tweeted on Twitter
Then Skyped every single night
Though we lived far away, I knew I wouldn’t quit her
‘Til we got our liaison right.

We transmitted vows over the wireless sky
And kept each of them sweet and short
Then after being pronounced, husbandwidth and wifi
We kissed through a USB port

The Width Is Wider

the width is wider than the span of life--
                         time to let go!
life is wider than our span on earth
             the end arrives soon
one can not stay, time to let go!
             Yet, we have drunk up so much life,
we hate to sober up.
