 Faith in My Creator

I was born a child of God for

Living my life in a good way,

So when I die, forevermore

I'll be in Heaven, so I pray

That each day I do live God's will,

For others be usefully good,

God's purpose for me to fulfill,

Praying for wisdom how I should

Fight against evil all around.

I am created to fight sin,

And with God's help I'm ever bound

To fight for good and right and win.

My Creator gave life to me.

Faithful to God I seek to be.

 Just a Bad Dream

Thank goodness I am now awake.

I was having such a bad dream.

I dreamed that a nap I did take,

So confidant that it did seem

That I was sure to win a race,

My opponent being so slow,

Who no way could keep up my pace.

So very sure I'd win, and so

I thought my taking a nap would

Show what good sport this rabbit be.

In any race I was too good,

There was no one who could beat me!

The race, just an awful nightmare.

How could a tortoise beat a hare?

 Consequence

You were my first and only love.

I let you have your way with me,

As you whispered sweet nothings of

What loving couple we did be.

But afterwards you acted strange.

Big cry baby I was said you,

But all my bawling would not change

That you and me were done and through.

Then talked about by kids at school,

That you and I just had some fun.

Now I was acting like a fool,

Making too much of what we'd done.

Hope lots of gnawing guilt you're bound

When this note with my body's found.

 Painful Removal

I really thought she liked me best.

Oft used me to point something out.

Made me feel special from the rest,

So glad to be with her, no doubt.

But then today, an awful thing,

Sudden mental breakdown she had.

And on me she began chewing,

With my outcome being quite bad.

I was so stunned, I must confess,

As pieces of me disappeared.

Now left of me, just bloody mess.

My being gone just felt so weird.

She went berserk, I understand,

But caused me to get out of hand.

 Simple Solution

How to heal the world is the ask?

Only who made this world can do.

So cannot be a human task,

Humans have proved unworthy, true.

Only God, if God sees the worth

Can heal the world as need be done.

Since God chose to create the Earth,

Its true healing, God's only one.

Why ever God made humans is

Surely a failure by God's will.

Correcting such mistake, God's biz,

Up to only God to fulfill.

The only sure world cure to find,

Eliminate all humankind.

 Queen Jewels

Queen Jewels upon my household throne,

Where I have reigned since schnauzer pup.

The years have passed and I have grown

Into a giant fur ball, yup!

All in my household serve their Queen

With all the best of loving care.

I'm quite used to pampered routine

Given to me in full fanfare.

A fun and busy life I lead,

Never a dull moment, no doubt.

I am a happy dog indeed,

Decreed when my tongue's hanging out.

Queen Jewels, my human subjects be

So loyal and devoted to me.

 Tragic End

In the old abandoned house, we

Would stay together, all agreed.

But then just minutes later, she

Went her own way, show off indeed.

Shortly after, her screams we heard.

We all moved slowly toward that sound,

All wondering what had occurred.

And then that answer, we all found.

The floor had broken, she fell through

To the cellar, where she now lay.

The fall had killed her, we all knew.

It had turned into a sad day.

Yes, old abandoned houses scare.

Real weakened floorboards to beware.

 Rivalry for Iris' Affections

Words, "You love her, but she does not"

"Love you," Severus did reply

To Successus, rival, both sought

Be Iris, the barmaid's main guy.

On a Pompeii building wall, they

Wrote graffiti back and forth to

Show Iris, in public display,

Who be the better of the two.

Reply of Severus was last

Written by the rivals before

Whole city of Pompeii was cast

'Neath lava from volcano core.

Which of the two Iris preferred?

Buried when eruption occurred.

 School Bullying

The high school boys bathroom oft is

A place of lower learning sure,

Where bullies come to do their biz,

That those bullied have to endure.

The most vulnerable bullied be

The nerd with his pants caught down who

Is the target of some bully

Seeking some mean mischief to do.

Today, the messy bully plan,

Catch mid number two the poor nerd,

And toss at him a full trash can,

Whence lots of spillage then occurred.

Of course who gets to clean up all?

I'm the janitor gets the call.

 Dolly

She lived the American Dream,

Began her life in poverty,

But very rich in self esteem,

Grabbed hold of opportunity,

Took her talent to entertain.

Of mind, spirit and heart, she gave

Joy for decades, and to remain

Shining star in home of the brave,

Proud daughter of the U.S.A.,

Ever best of red, white and blue,

As generations loved her way

To inspire all, simple and true.

Dolly Parton, the gift unfurled,

America gave to the world.

 Our Home

My parents, sisters, brothers and

I moved in the old farmhouse that

Over a hundred years did stand

Just waiting for us to be at

This time and place, our home to call

For growing up years, money poor,

But rich in love each had for all.

And in our home meant all the more.

Each of us kids left in our time.

The folks, until their deaths, did stay.

Memories decades ago, now I'm

Back to visit our home today.

An empty parking lot I find,

But our home still comes back to mind.

 In a Holed Pattern

Henry and Liza sang a song

About a hole in poor ol' me,

A cute song, but ended up wrong,

Cuz no hole fixing did there be.

As a result, I'm still not used

For fetching water as I should.

Liza and Henry, still confused,

Nice folks, but doing me no good.

So I feel sorry for myself,

Cuz nothing else for me to do,

Discarded on a dusty shelf,

And a hole lot of feeling blue.

I am that bucket, still with goal,

To find someone to fix my hole.

 My Revised Role

In my hammock just chilling out,

Umbrella shades me from hot sun,

I'm not a normal sight no doubt,

Being such a leisurely one.

The daily newspaper I read,

What's happening 'round here and there.

I'm a digester, yes indeed,

All sorts of stuff I keep aware.

A stranger to my swamp might ask

Why am I acting so mellow,

Not involved in predator task,

Usual for my kind of fellow?

Lots of swamp critters work for me,

A dela-gator I do be.
