Restoring Israel
God created and formed you,
And He has also redeemed;
You are His treasured value,
You are the light that has gleamed.
When you pass through the waters,
The Lord will be guiding you;
Be with your sons and daughters,
In your trek to continue.
You won’t be burned by the flame,
When walking by the fire;
As you proceed to proclaim,
Following God’s desire.
For He is the Lord your God,
Holy One of Israel;
Who you must honor and laud,
As your Savior having zeal.
You are precious to His eyes,
He honors and He loves you;
Gives wisdom to make you wise,
That all written know is true.
He is with you so fear not,
Your offspring come from the east;
As those in the west has sought,
As He will prepare a feast.
Bring back your sons from afar,
Your daughters throughout the earth;
To be guided by the star,
Unto who has given birth.
All who is called by His name,
His glory is created;
He formed you as to proclaim,
And in being elated.

Turn Of The Year
It´s just a turn of the Page not
Time to utter many platitudes
Which won´t change a thing
Unless we change our attitudes.
A vow to lose weight won´t
House a homeless man
A less self obsessed attitude
Maybe just can.
Evading a just proportion of taxes
While displaying obscene wealth
Maybe good for an ego but bad
For a Nation´s financial health.
The nation Subsidising
Scrooge employers,
The huge growth of
No Win No Fee Lawyers.
Don´t give a beggar money
Buy him a coffee and a banjo
Maybe have a little chat
Spare a minute before you go,
Don´t make a resolution
Just a change of attitude
Can mean so much more than
Self obsessed platitudes.
Just a few of the many things
Needing urgent solution
Much more relevant than
Any New Year Resolution.

EMBERS
~EMBERS~
It's all been reduced to ash
Only a chimney left standing
Is a stark reminder of the fires
That are tearing through Los Angeles
Still the inferno rages on
Leaving a large path of destruction
Some not making it out
Forever changing Lives
Dedicated to My Southern California Neighbors and The Firefighters/First Responders🙏.🙏

OUR FAIRY FRIENDS
OUR FAIRY FRIENDS
Whenever we really need a hand
Then be prepared for fairies to land,
They can help us in so many ways
And they never ask for any praise.
Silently they come but never seen
But we always know when they have been,
Our burden is lightened there`s no doubt
As in they come and then they are out.
Of course you have to believe in them
For everyone has their fairy gem,
Our guardian angels you may say
Whom we can rely on every day.
It`s a comfort knowing they`re around
Even though we never hear a sound,
Just fairy dust sprinkled here and there
It`s their magic trait with us they share.

DEADLY WORDS
DEADLY WORDS
On a very hot glass
a drop of water
is fatal to the glass;
it shatters it into
hundreds of pieces.
The heart could be like
the red hot glass.
It needs no big hammer
to break into pieces.
Something minor like
a few words could
destroy the heart.
Something so minor
like simple words
could have that
deadly impact
on our hearts.
It's hard to explain
and even harder
to understand why
some words
could be so deadly.

THE NATZGULS ( The Free Verse Style )
Have A Very Lovely Day!
~ The Natzguls ~
( Free Verse )
~O~
If ever there was a day,
when the song of men,
and Elves,
were to disappear.
~o~
From the face of Middle Earth,
and the hearts, and minds of,
Elves, Dwarves, and men,
it was at this time, of sorrow.
~o~
They were once,
nine Kings who,
were great and mighty,
But then from the
~o~
Black shadows rose,
Sauron, and the power of the Ring,
they wouldn't be able,
to resist.
~o~
So one by one
they were drawn to its power
and one by one
they fell.
~o~
And now they ride,
ceaselessly;
searching for the,
most Precious, the Ring of Power.
~o~
The one that their dark,
Master, wants it
just to possess it,
to conquer, and to smite with it.
~O~
