I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !
LIFE is such an awesome Gift
To be Human and alive
Each new day ~ gives me a lift !
I enjoy each day ~ of the Life I live
I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !
I enjoy the Take and I enjoy the Give
I enjoy being THIRTY FIVE !
Each morning off to work I drive
Teaching Applied Science to My Teens
I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE
Seeking to teach them what LIFE means !
I hope to marry one day soon
And start a family (maybe five ? !)
I wasn't born with a Silver Spoon
I JUST PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOX
This as a Title Progression Poem written in four
quatrains with an abab etc Rhyme Pattern. The
Title "I PRAY THAT I'LL SURVIVE" is also line ONE
in verse ONE. It progresses as Line TWO ~ Line
THREE and finally as Line FOUR in verse FOUR !
Title Progression Poems are excellent to recite
because you emphasise the Title Line (verbally)
as it progresses through the Poem ! Repetition
is good for the Poetic Soul ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN

Applied Science to teens! I hope you survive too! Brave.....
Thanks for your commiseration ! All My Students are VOCATIONAL and Applied Science is FUN ! They are Caterers ~ Lab Technicians ~ Pre-Nursing ~ Hair & Beauty ~ Engineers ~ Construction and I have convinced them all that a knowledge of Applied Science will make the better Chefs ~ Nurses ~ Beauticians etc. They are 17 ~ 25 so they are sensible and enjoy their CHOSEN Courses ~ "A little BIT of SCIENCE helps the Mystery go down ~ in a most insightful way" Scientific Hugs BRIAN @@@
Wish I'd had you for a teacher! Mine were boring............
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN...

GRAZIE CARA MIA PER TUA BELLO COMMENTO ! For many BOYS surviving the first FIVE years is the most difficult ~ which explains why we are outnumbered 51% to 49% by Ladies ! To have survived 35 ANNI ~ E ANCORA ESSERE ELEGANTE ~ MI DOVE ESSERE SULLA DESTRA VIA ! Per Tu Abbraccii e Baci forte ~ Il tua Amicci BRIAN XOXOX
I though you was writing it for me - how to survive Valentines Day now I'm married to KP! lol. A fine write Brian.
Thanks STEVE (Nombre corecto !) ! KP is a big price to pay. A friend of mine (aged 85) married a Lady of 25 ! I advised him to wear an OXYGEN MASK in bed at night and he did ! It dampened her ardour and he is still alive @ 90 ! Pleased you liked the Poem & the Form. It is also known as " A Title Chase Poem !" Your Nephew BRIAN !
Survival is always good, I am 70 this year and have managed to survive.
Gosh UNCLE ANDY ~ You are Twice as old as ME ~ it encourages me to believe I will at least make retirement ! Every Blessing ~ Your MPS Nephew BRIAN
Love the flow of this poem and its Title Chase form Brian - along with plenty of genuine gratitude and cheerful willingness you write with vibrancy so yes dear friend - - you will survive. A gem of a read.
THANKS for a confidence booster FAY ~ I am sure I will survive at least until retirement 2053 (70) and then at least a few more years to reap the rewards of a well lived life ! Yours as always BRIAN. Pleased you liked the structure ~ I love repetition in Poetry ~ but many find Villanelles too complicated !
You'll survive - I buy our local paper each week and as soon as I see that I'm not in the obituaries columns I know I'm okay and all's well with the world.
Thanks MICHAEL ~ Both my Parents are still alive and well ~ so GENETICALLY I am programmed to live to 60+ ! I am fairly abstemious have never smoked or used drugs. Because I am a VIRGO I am a fairly cautious "I always look before I leap ~ and often ~ having looked ~ don't leap" BUT I did take a HELICOPTER ride down the GRAND CANYON ................. and ? I am not an ONLY Child and my Parents look out for me rather than the other way round ! I have no personal Family (KIDS) and my life is virtually stress free ~ AMEN. I do CARPE DIEM and enjoy surviving form day to day ! Thanks for your comment it almost triggered an ESSAY ~ Yours as ever BRIAN. Many of my PEERS (30 ~ 40 age group) have lots of stress ~ some are on medications ad some are already DEAD ~ c'est la morte ! Yours optimistic as always The Life of BRIAN !
OMG I love this poem! And now I have the song stuck in my head, LOL! Perfect progression poem. Loved it. I love your vigor for life. I can tell you, though I'm only a few years older than you, that it just keeps getting better!--Hugs in spirit--Christina
Thanks CHRISTINA for a very beautiful comment ! It's getting Better Warmer Wilder ~ Hotter Deeper every day ............................ ! Pleased you liked the POEM ~ very progressive ~ Every Blessing for TODAY ~ Hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
