Sicut Patribus, sit Deus Nobis)
The rocky nook with hilltops three
Looked eastward from the farms,
And twice each day the flowing sea
Took Boston in its arms;
The men of yore were stout and poor,
And sailed for bread to every shore.
And where they went on trade intent
They did what freeman can,

mistakes I have made. Ask me whether
what I have done is my life. Others

Love fills your hearts report
Breaks of thunder take beauties form.
Turned the rays that infused your eyes
Oceans stretch with the suns rich gems
to worship all things that shine the shores
and the moon so pale were through the sky
...
see those dancing bees ~
when fragrance lingers in air
after blossom bloom.

Did you ever hate someone
Just because a friend or a family member did,
Did you ever wished that they were gone
As you happily prayed for their existence you could forever rid.

Deacon John is the church's deacon
A light in the church's beacon,
The man that many Christians look upon
From day one.

I'm not looking for a mate
I am just looking to date,
I am not looking for a woman to marry
I'm just looking for a woman with whom I can tarry.

Are you ready
with a sheet of paper
and a handy pencil or a pen
to rate my piece

EVERYONE IS INVOLVED
The day breaks as it does for years
The sun shines since it carries no fears
...
came to home never wept
tonight barked loudly
pulled curtain to the side
it was quiet until morning.
