POEM OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER
AN ACORN


An acorn on an oak tree grew
The wind around him gently blew
It whispered to him ,quietly ,softly,
"Some day from your mother ,
You will be free,
To grow and be a mighty tree"
"Who ? Me? a mighty oak ?
The acorn thought this a joke.

Cold autumn winds whistled round
And knocked the acorn to the ground.
A little girl passing by
The small acorn she did spy
She picked it up
But let if fall,
Down a nearby rabbit hole .

All winter long he lay inside ,
His little body turned dry .
In the Springtime
A shoot of green,
From the acorn could be seen ,
It grew and grew ,
As years rolled by ,
Soon he reached up to the sky ,
So it was a tale come true ,
A mighty oak from the acorn grew ....
Written By Knieland

POEM OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER
The Garden

The garden is so beautiful now the sun is here
Sitting among the roses when the nights are long and clear
The aroma of the violets and pretty colours everywhere
The smell of fresh cut grass floating through the air
The sound of the leaves as the breeze blows the trees
There's nothing more relaxing at the end of a long hard day
Than sitting in your garden soaking up the suns hot rays
Sipping on ice cold lemonade and slipping on your shades
These are the days we long for the days that God has made
When we get this kind of weather and smell this sweet bouquet
We know that God is with us and our world will be ok
Sunshine
POEM OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER
I Want To Slant


I want to slant in calm repose
Paint purple polish on my toes

In sun or shade I'll sink my chair
Hang my hat on curly hair

I hear the ocean teasing me
Mind tumble back to age of three

Sift tiny pebbles through my hand
Rub lotion on my legs of tan

I invite breaths of salty air
And feel God's presence everywhere

August dreaming

Soft silent coming of the dawn
The glory of an August morn
The thunder of a summer storm
And majesty of ripened corn

Such Talents To Enjoy


New names enter the stages of the world
Singer songwriters with their works unfurled
Nerina Pallot with her voice so sweet
Sometimes sounds like Joni, that's quite a feat

Up and coming talents I have also heard
Caroline Harrison with Temptation, a pearl
The Lizzies are a band now on their way
Expect to hear them played on the radio one day

Amy MacDonald has come right to the fore
With her number one hits already scored
From overseas we have Annie Marleau
A Canadian songstress with talent on show

Duffy is touring with growing success
Mercy she belts out in her tight dress
Lets also give plaudits to young Hannah Marsh
The best Finnish singer with voice of a lark

Many will follow and bring us more still
Great songs and voices that in future we will
Talk of together and play for our friends
One thing for certain the music won't end
