CENTER STAGE....YOU'RE ON !!! (POETRY) (SONGS)
Posted : 3 Aug, 2008 01:50 PM

Since this topic has been bouncing around, lets do it!



Now showcasing on this thread is the World's top poets performing for you live ! (for a few minutes, that is):applause:



Please remember that all materials should be original or credit given to the author. No material can be copied without the express permission of the author or you will be breaking one of the 10 Commandments! mmm...mmm..You might need to read up and figure out which one it is....



Ok...lets have some fun...and enjoyment!





THE MENTOR



I see as you are

Not with eyes of prejudice or fault

But with anticipation of your every move...



Your voice is like a melody waiting to be sung

I hang onto every note with envy

Contemplating the next harmonious passage...



Consumed by the thing I fear most

I relish in the fragrance of courage and strength

Emmanating from you and am totally captivated...



Deep within me lies the essence of your soul

That I might someday walk as you walk now

Never measuring another by wealth but rather by

character portrayed...



Love does not describe what you mean to me

My Teacher, Guide, and Friend

May I someday be the reflection of this Priceless Encounter!



( this poem was written about a very special teacher who helped me to recognize my potential...years ago)



Robin

Oh...Just one more thing....(It's amazing what a shower will do for you...!) Song popped into my head...Not mine but I don't know the author...In case you need it, here it is...



GOD GAVE ME A SONG



God gave me a song...

That the angels cannot sing...

I've been washed in the blood...

By the crucified one...

I've been redeemed...



The Lord has been...

So good to me...

He's opened doors ...

I could not see...

Sometimes when I ....

Am feeling low...

No one to care...

No place to go...

My Father is rich...

In Houses and Lands...

He holds the power of the world

In His hands...



Power: He holds the power in His hands...

Power: God holds the power in His hands...

Power: He made the leaves on the trees..

Power: He made the birds and the bees...

Power: He made the oceans and the seas...

Power: He made you and me...

Power: He has the power in His hands..

Power: God has the power in His hands...

mmm..mmm..mmm..mmm. All Good...:applause:



Remember with whatever you have to face today that God has the Power !!!! Give Him praise today !!!!



Remember...just like me...some old songs still have a melody to be sung...Please don't throw me out with the bathwater!!!



Robin...out and about...:goofball:

Wanted to share another poem written by Ruth Graham.



Oh time ! be slow !

it was a dawn ago

I was a child

dreaming of being full grown;

a noon ago I was

with children of my own;

anh now it's afternoon

------ and late------

and they are grown

and gone.

Time , Wait !



God Bless You All,

Deborah :angel:

A FAREWELL



The time has come for me to leave.

Robin, remain in good cheer !

In God's guidance we both believe;

But I still might shed a tear.



God has other plans for me.

I must stay in his will.

He has things for me to see

It's time to just BE STILL !



I've learned so many things from you

Like Love, Like Joy, Like Grace;

You turned me into a Poet too.

And that puts a smile on my face !



Following Jesus, I'll continue to do;

As I gaze up at this Carolina sky

My mind's filled with warm thoughts of you,

As I fight this urge to cry.



No more pouting; the road ahead holds JOY

Proof you're a man?;Not sure what the test is !

I know I've met One Good Ole Boy;

Love ya Bruce........... You are the "bestest" !





Jireh, take good care of him:glow:



:waving:Rev, revelation22, Paul :waving:

Rev...please don't leave...you're breaking my heart...You are so sweet and kind and good...I know the struggle between the "real" world and the forum. I wish I could wake these young girls up...and as a matter of fact, the old ones, too! You are one in a million and regardless of what your friends think, you truely are a diamond in the rough.



Well, maybe you're right, though. Maybe it is time to say adieu to we three...and let the poetry travel on it's own.



Rev...I do have two Carolina daughters...one almost 20 and one 25....mmm...mmm...mmm Whatever you decide to do, know that it has been a pleasue knowing you and I do mean the heart of you. You do have to listen to the calling of God on your life and I do appreciate the poetry wake up call on my life that you help rejuvenate. You are an inspiration and I am so proud of you. Please keep writing...You really are good.



I really love you bunches...Robin

ONE FOR THE ROAD (Tribute to Rev)



One for the road

My awesome Rev

You are a Godly man...



Don't ever doubt

Your wit and charm

I am your biggest fan...



It's easy to brag humility

But that you've never done

You've always had an honest heart

And been a lot of fun...



I guess I'll give up coffee now

And start a real life

I kind of like the mask I wear

No pretense, malice, or strife...



I love to try to help each one

Who's burdened, sad, or low

But maybe I should be like you

And pack my bags and go...



I will have to pray on it

And see what Jesus says

A real life for me just may be waiting

Instead of foruming.



May God annoint you now, my friend

And guide you on your way.

The poetry just won't be the same

I'll think of you and pray.



My heart is so heavy...Please know that God loves you and will give you the desires of your heart. I feel you are hurting but know that this too shall pass and He will give you the best of the best...Keep you face heaven bound...

Robin

Robin,

Your tribute to Rev was So touching. Your loving poem,along with the fact that he left, has made me cry. Praying God will comfort All !



...........there'll be spring......



Show me a small

and shriveled seed,

discarded

as a worthless thing;

smile

if you will,

that I should keel

in worship;

----there'll be spring.



A few of the poems Rev wrote,'tho humorous; contained a silent sadness as well. God Be With him.



The poem I posted is another one by Ruth Graham; I'm very fond of her work. She proves the saying---It's not what you take when you go, it's what you leave behind.



Before Bedtime maybe I'll have an original.



God Bless,

Deborah

HOME



Home is where the heart is,

At least that's what I've heard.

I have one in Heaven;

It says so in God's Word.



In this earth we suffer loss,

We all have at one time.

Then God will send a friend to us

Who's warm and also kind.



Just remember that the heartaches

This old world does often send

Won't hurt or last forever.

Jesus always comes to mend.



For the Home our Lord has promised

my heart does often yearn.

Some have gone before me;

But one day will bring my turn.



My Saviour knew me; knew my name

And how I'd feel on earth.

His child I was; He knew I'd be,

long before my mom gave birth.



When my time comes, and I can leave;

On this I'm very clear;

He'll be waiting there for me;

And I'll shed not one more tear !

Author: Deborah



Robin,

You're in my prayers. I hope you won't go! You're an inspiration to so many !

God Bless You,

Deborah

I am praying on it, Deborah. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things and I guess I am hurting so much for him because of his innocence and, I feel, embarrassment, for those who followed the banter. God always takes situations like these and raises them to a higher level. My prayer is that Rev will win a princess' heart and be the "godly envy" of every man walking. I'm not man bashing, I'm just lifting a good friend up...Rev if you're peeking in, email me privately and maybe I could introduce you to some beautiful

women in person...You know how I love road trips.....!



Your Friend...Robin

Time to pull the covers up

And turn the lights down low...

Cuddle up and say you prayers

Know Jesus loves you so...



Come with me just one more time

And let me dry your tears

There really isn't monsters so

Just put aside your fears..



If I could hold you tightly and

Just make it go away...

I'd soothe your pain and suffering

Kiss all your stress away...



Just lay your head upon my chest

Relax, and let it go...

My arms are gently craddling

Your body and your soul.



I don't know what tomorrow brings

I only know today

But you are loved enormously

In every single way....!



To all of you who are listening now...may the peace of God fill your heart with all the good things and may you rest in the love of Jesus cause everything's gonna be ok...!



Love you bunches and bunches...Robin - Nighty Night!
