TO BE A PILGRIM !

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

 

GIVE ME ~ A Thimble full of Quiet

GIVE ME ~ A Mind thats free from Care

A Loaf of Bread ~ A Glass of Wine my diet

I'll travel safe from here to anywhere !

 

GIVE ME ~ A trusty Staff to lean on

My Feet are shod with Gods own Peace

The knowledge of Crusades I've been on 

From this Weary World ~ to find release !

 

GIVE ME my Coloured Cloak of GLORY

As towards Heaven I daily tread

No looking back ~ NO ~ That was Lots Wifes Story

SHE turned to Sodium Chloride and was DEAD !

 

GIVE ME a promise of SALVATION

That when I reach my goal ~ I will see GOD

YES ! Thats my Hope & Expectation

The reason why I tread this weary sod !

 

And when I've gone ~ Please say this of  ME

He entertained with Poetry & Prose

When my penmanship ~ you no longer see 

Remember all my ODES to ENGLANDS red red ROSE !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

    Very good write Brian, but surely it is going to be many years before we stop seeing them, after all you are only half my age and I am still writing.

        Coolness is always good, losing one's temper gets us nowhere.

        Yes - ya going somewhere? Not 'man's long home' just yet?! I told ya, ya will be 117.
        St Alban's Day is soon (22 June). One hymn says: 'Holy Alban, England's rose'.
        They have a procession, and roses at his shrine at the Cathedral bearing His name. I got to it some years.

          Thanks for the reference STEVE ~ pleased you enjoyed the Poem ~ Pic an' Hymn ! Sodium Chloride Na+Cl- is of course table salt which we use to both preserve and flavour our FOOD ~ The Bible Says "Lots Wife was petrified and became a 'Pillar of Salt" like the people at Herculaneum ~ Had she kept going with Lot she wold have outrun the Lava and not ended up as a Salted Crisp ~ so it was not really NaCl after all it was Lava ! There is a warning here ~ The BIBLE says if we are tempted to Dabble in the Sins of the World ~ Remember lot's Wife ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
