PERSONS, PERSONS, PERSONS … 

 

March,  march,  march …
Precision, precision, precision …
Persons, persons, persons …
Same, same, same …
Step, step, step …
Minds, minds, minds ….
Eyes, eyes, eyes …
Arms, arms, arms …
Legs, legs, legs …
Continue, continue, continue …
Now, now, now …
Why, why, why ….

GOD  KNOWS US

 

God knows me – notice
I didn’t say me alone.
 
God knows my thoughts
and my doings and my day.
 
If  it must disappoint God
when I do a dull day.
 
Imagine being boring to God?
Imagine having nothing interesting  to say?
 
Imagine having nothing to thank God
for at the end of a day like today?
