Fed Up
Every country has it , it can not be denied and this is something we cannot hide .
Hunger, sickness , poverty and hate - it won't be fixed it's much too late .
Our rights have been given up to politicians of old and how to conduct ourselves we are told .
They cater to the rich and not the poor , and they've closed every door.
To have a good education through the nose we must pay as we struggle to live from day to day .
Our constitution has been trampled to the ground and no honest judges to be found .
Lawyers are being bought off through fear and intimidation and is destroying our glorious nation .
Bankers and investors are making it harder to live and a helping hand they refuse to give.
This country is being divided like the civil war and is spreading from shore to shore .
When we open up our eyes it will be much too late - how much more can the public take !
Our economy has gotten out of hand and is spreading throughout our land .
The middle class no longer exists and are now on the poverty list .
ITS TIME FOR CHANGE

The Signs Of God
They all went to their houses of worship that day
And to GOD they did pray.
Every disaster known to man
Was hitting each and every land.
People finding their lands under water
Ravaging winds, and civil disorders.
Food supplies down so low
And they had no place to go.
Stores all torn to the ground
Family and friends no where s to be found.
People being pushed to the ground
Lives being trampled and screams abound.
Panic in every nation, coping with these devastations.
People were losing hope and becoming in doubt
As to what this was all about.
Then from the church pews someone started to holler.
Most say that you are a merciful GOD
And others say you are quick to anger.
We as mere mortal men can not say
What’s in your heart day to day.
I tend to believe that you are merciful
For why would you create us in your own image
And send down your begotten son
If there was no hope for anyone?
These I know are signs from you
But you must tell us just what to do.
Is it that our fellow man
Refuses to give a helping hand
And you’ve finally taken your stand.
Not a sound or a word was heard
Just the fluttering of the wings of a bird.
All the eyes looked up to the rafters
This was the sign that they was after.
The cross of CHRIST was all aglow
Why this happened they did not know.
As fast as it appeared, it disappeared
And in their hearts they all knew
Exactly what they had to do.
So like the apostles on they went
For the feelings they had was heaven sent.
they had to spread the word of GOD
To everyone near and far.
They knew that this world needed prayer
And this love they had to share.

They fly with the angels
When a loved one has gone to the other side and tears flow from your eyes .
Remember that they have gone to a better place and are now in God's embrace . They have done their earthly time and with the angels they now fly .
They still hear every word you say as you kneel down to pray. They see when you shed your tears and wipe away all your fears . They know the pains that you are going through as they are always next to you .
They rejoice with you when you reach your goals and send shivers to your soul.
That's to let you know that they are always watching over you - for this is what they're meant to do ..
True love is endless "(c) poetlou 102524

The belated valentine card
The true valentine
Valentine day when men rush to buy valentine cards and heart shaped boxes of chocolates .
I refuse to do that !
Flowers will wither and die and boxes of chocolates will be eaten .
I will give you something that will last you a lifetime .
My Love
I will comfort you when you are sad , support you in all your endeavors and dreams
I will be your friend , lover , companion , confidant.
When you are weak , I will give you strength
When you shed a tear , I will cry with you
When outside pressures get you down , I will always be around .
We will explore everything that God has given us
The sun , the sky , the stars ,the moon , and when it ends too soon , then we have the grass , the trees, the ocean , the rivers and streams - that could fill any dream .
I will pick fresh flowers for you on Valentines day and make you happy in every way .
I may not be able to give you diamonds, pearls, emeralds and other things
Just my love that my heart will bring .
Material things will come and go , that is something we all know , so I will give you a true valentine that will last throughout all time.
My Love

Don’t run so fast
Baby don’t run so fast , my heart has to
Catch up to you if it can.
You’re going thru life like a race
It’s time you slowed up your pace.
I want to be there at your bewitching hour
When you stop to smell the flowers.
I’ve been in love with you for so long
And my heart has grown so strong.
Your face appears to me in my sleep
And my heart begins to leap.
The scent of your perfume , the softness of your hair
Your eyes hypnotic beyond compare.
Let me hold you in my embrace and capture
All the beauty of your face.
I know that time goes by very fast , but
My love you’ll have to grasp.
Patience is a quality which I have outgrown
So don’t let my love turn to stone.
Don’t run so fast !

The Cross
praise him in all his glory
for behind this is a story.
a story for all the world to see.
and how He set mankind free.
HE gave up his life so that we may live
and freed us of mortal sin.
nailed to the cross with just a **** cloth.
and how they gambled for his garments
with his blood and everything on it.
and when the sky turned completly black
everyone ran and turned their backs.
they did not have any idea
the power that this man possessed
until they put their faith to the test.
when he came back on the third day
you could hear everyone say
HE is truely the son of GOD
and i'll keep him in my heart.
he kept his word that he'd return
and to his words we would forever learn.
after the sighting of his reincarnation
believers gathered for a celebration.
and on that day the number of apostles grew
to better serve me and you.
now there are holy men in every nation
praying for our salvation.
the cross that he was nailed to, still exists
but now it lives in our hearts
and has become a very big part
of the daily lives we live.
for the cross that we carry
is much different than his.
for we all have burdens and pains
that we must go through.
for that is the cross that we must bear,
and to the world our faith we share.
so carry this cross and hold your head up high
for he is looking down from the sky.

Oops! I Did It Again Mom! (Laughter)
It was above and beyond the call of duty
When she had to clean his *****
He had crap from the pampers down
And not a clean spot to be found.
Then he took his hand and spread it all around
From the table to the ground.
He had spread it every where
And had done it with such care.
To him this was just a game
As he tried to write his name.
His mother was as angry as can be
But she laughed hysterically.
And as her laughter finally settled down
He looked at her with a frown.
He did not realize all that he had done
He was just having fun.
As she carried him to the shower
He decided to have his final hour.
Oops! I did it again mom!

One night with you
One night with you was all it took then I knew that I was hooked lost in the depths of your soul swimming frantically to escape knowing well that no place was safe. Reaching for solid ground and none to be found. Sinking deeper into your endless love and no help from above.
How? How could this be when my heart was single and free? Like a fly caught in a spider web and the more I struggled to be free the closer you came to me. I have no will left to fight and don't want it to end tonight. I want more than one night with you!

Powers of a woman
Even the strongest man on earth can have the most softess ,gentlest, weakest heart and will try to overcome the powers of a woman . She seduces him with a kiss a smile A touch a laughter for she knows what he is after . O ce their bodies and souls become as one , she knows her work is done . She will work on his ego as never before as she opens up his door . She will get everything she wants and needs and on this she will feed . He may not have wealth fortune or fame but to her it's all the same . Man will always try to go back to whence he came and to the woman it is all a game . Never underestimate what they can do for she is always ahead of you .

You are the queen
Your body is your castle and you are the queen of your throne and no one can take away what you own . Your castle was built as you grew and this was taught to you. No one can enter unless you say and if there is love that comes into play . Protect your castle from those who wish to bring you down who want you gagged and bound . You must take jealousy with a grin and just let love come in .
You are the queen !
