    Proverbs 7 NLT, Another Warning about Immoral Women

    Proverbs 7 NLT Another Warning about Immoral Women 7 Follow my advice, my son;     always treasure my commands. 2 Obey my commands and live!     Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. 3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.     Write them deep within your heart. 4 Love wisdom like a sister;     make insight a beloved member of your family. 5 Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,     from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman. 6 While I was at the window of my house,     looking through the curtain, 7 I saw some naive young men,     and one in particular who lacked common sense. 8 He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,     strolling down the path by her house. 9 It was at twilight, in the evening,     as deep darkness fell. 10 The woman approached him,     seductively dressed and sly of heart. 11 She was the brash, rebellious type,     never content to stay at home. 12 She is often in the streets and markets,     soliciting at every corner. 13 She threw her arms around him and kissed him,     and with a brazen look she said, 14 “I’ve just made my peace offerings     and fulfilled my vows. 15 You’re the one I was looking for!     I came out to find you, and here you are! 16 My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,      with colored sheets of Egyptian linen. 17 I’ve perfumed my bed     with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.     Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses, 19 for my husband is not home.     He’s away on a long trip. 20 He has taken a wallet full of money with him     and won’t return until later this month.” 21 So she seduced him with her pretty speech     and enticed him with her flattery. 22 He followed her at once,     like an ox going to the slaughter.    He was like a stag caught in a trap, 23 awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.      He was like a bird flying into a snare,     little knowing it would cost him his life. 24 So listen to me, my sons,     and pay attention to my words. 25 Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.     Don’t wander down her wayward path. 26 For she has been the ruin of many;     many men have been her victims. 27 Her house is the road to the grave.     Her bedroom is the den of death. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast   Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift! Thank you for your time and attention.

    A Friend - Edgar Albert Guest

    A Friend by Edgar Albert Guest A friend is one who stands to share Your every touch of grief and care. He comes by chance, but stays by choice; Your praises he is quick to voice.   No grievous fault or passing whim Can make an enemy of him. And though your need be great or small, His strength is yours throughout it all.   No matter where your path may turn Your welfare is his chief concern. No matter what your dream may be He prays your triumph soon to see.   There is no wish your tongue can tell But what it is your friend's as well. The life of him who has a friend Is double-guarded to the end. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast   Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift!

    A Bird Came Down The Walk - Emily Dickinson

    A Bird Came Down The Walk by Emily Dickinson   A bird came down the walk: He did not know I saw; He bit an angle-worm in halves And ate the fellow, raw.   And then he drank a dew From a convenient grass, And then hopped sidewise to the wall To let a beetle pass.   He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all abroad,-- They looked like frightened beads, I thought; He stirred his velvet head   Like one in danger; cautious, I offered him a crumb, And he unrolled his feathers And rowed him softer home   Than oars divide the ocean, Too silver for a seam, Or butterflies, off banks of noon, Leap, plashless, as they swim.

    I Like Canadians - Ernest Hemingway

    I Like Canadians by Ernest Hemingway By A Foreigner    I like Canadians.  They are so unlike Americans.  They go home at night.  Their cigarettes don't smell bad.  Their hats fit.  They really believe that they won the war.  They don't believe in Literature.  They think Art has been exaggerated.  But they are wonderful on ice skates.  A few of them are very rich.  But when they are rich they buy more horses  Than motor cars.  Chicago calls Toronto a puritan town.  But both boxing and horse-racing are illegal  In Chicago.  Nobody works on Sunday.  Nobody.  That doesn't make me mad.  There is only one Woodbine.  But were you ever at Blue Bonnets?  If you kill somebody with a motor car in Ontario  You are liable to go to jail.  So it isn't done.  There have been over 500 people killed by motor cars  In Chicago  So far this year.  It is hard to get rich in Canada.  But it is easy to make money.  There are too many tea rooms.  But, then, there are no cabarets.  If you tip a waiter a quarter  He says 'Thank you.'  Instead of calling the bouncer.  They let women stand up in the street cars.  Even if they are good-looking.  They are all in a hurry to get home to supper  And their radio sets.  They are a fine people.  I like them. Poems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast   Please accept my endless gratitude, I'm tickled pink, You're a gift! Thank you for your time and attention.

    One More Round - Maya Angelou

    One More Round by Maya Angelou There ain't no pay beneath the sun As sweet as rest when a job's well done. I was born to work up to my grave But I was not born To be a slave. One more round And let's heave it down, One more round And let's heave it down. Papa drove steel and Momma stood guard, I never heard them holler ‘cause the work was hard. They were born to work up to their graves But they were not born To be worked-out slaves. One more round And let's heave it down, One more round And let's heave it down. Brothers and sisters know the daily grind, It was not labor made them lose their minds. They were born to work up to their graves But they were not born To be worked-out slaves. One more round And let's heave it down, One more round And let's heave it down. And now I'll tell you my Golden Rule, I was born to work but I ain't no mule. I was born to work up to my grave But I was not born To be a slave. One more round And let's heave it down, One more round And let's heave it down.

    Psalm 7 ESV, In You Do I Take Refuge

    In You Do I Take Refuge A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. 7 O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;      save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, 2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,      rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,      if there is wrong in my hands, 4 if I have repaid my friend with evil      or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,      and let him trample my life to the ground      and lay my glory in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O Lord, in your anger;      lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;      awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. 7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;      over it return on high. 8 The Lord judges the peoples;      judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness      and according to the integrity that is in me. 9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,      and may you establish the righteous—  you who test the minds and hearts,      O righteous God! 10 My shield is with God,      who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge,      and a God who feels indignation every day. 12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;      he has bent and readied his bow; 13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,      making his arrows fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil      and is pregnant with mischief      and gives birth to lies. 15 He makes a pit, digging it out,      and falls into the hole that he has made. 16 His mischief returns upon his own head,      and on his own skull his violence descends. 17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,      and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
