GOOD FRIDAY

GOOD    FRIDAY

Is it or was it really good

The day they nailed Him to the wood

Crowned his head with a ring of thorns

Cheered the deed and sang songs

No resistance or plea for aid

By this man of peace was made

He suffered died for our sake

Showed us all the path to take

Knowing this was done with Love

To bring us to the Lord above

I’d say that Friday was more than good

The day He gave his life upon the wood



Poems of LENT ENVY & GREED

 Poems of LENT

ENVY

Need?   Want?  Desire?   Craving?

Are these  stages of Greed?

Since day one we all have a natural need

For the basics of life which must be met

Then come things we would want to get

Normal reaction to the goodness of life

Posessions Positions to gain without strife

To be inspired by another’s success

Can be a plan for those with much less

Desire and craving are not just a dream

They can be part of life’s scheme

The path  is there for all to travel

Setbacks puzzles to unravel

The key to life’s quest

Is work. WORK and do your best

Envy is jealousy at its worst

Your hopes and dreams it will burst

Next step down is Greed

From which you can’t be Freed

Greed

Somewhere it is writ and I believe I did read.
That this world wouldn't function if it wasn't for greed.

All men of peace; And this is a fact,
Have been feared by the mighty and put to the rack.
Whether to be stoned by a mob or nailed to a tree.
The mighty allow this. How can this be?

When a man of peace is considered a threat.
The final solution is to put him to death.
Then; deny that it happened and try to forget.

It may be they fear, for men to be freed.
For this would limit their unsatisfied greed



FREE BERNIE

Did or does Bernie own the Mets?? or ?? Do the Mets Own Bernie??

Baseball aint what it use to be or is it?? Say What MET FANs??

Free Bernie

Bernie Madoff:  made off with the farm

Feels he hasn’t done anyone harm

He wants his family to keep and enjoy

The fruits of their dishonest ploy

The entire crime has yet to be seen

Many Holier Then Thous

will be found in the scheme

Should we ask the kids to give of their cents

To help these devils void of conscience

Bernie may have to live in a cell

Where people in boxes would love to dwell

But sooner then later he’ll suffer in hell

Lucifer Beware

Bad folks are coming your way

If we free Bernie who will be next

SANDY TRIBAL TALE

My mind often stirs to along ago day

When I see the land of the Rockaway

A tribe blessed to live by the Sea

Proud Brave and peacefully Free

At the oceans edge is where it appeared

By man never before seen or feared 

My eyes got a sharp clear view

My mind would not deem it true

I stood frozen still as death

Forced myself to take a breath

Then without the slightest sound

It was gone  could not be found

 Yes it was an unreal sight

It turned my hair pure white

Now I feel a shiver in my heart

From this beach I can not part

 I feel here I must remain

If I am to see it again

The Great Spirit once more

Calls me to visit the shore



FAT TUESDAY

Already? Time for another? Seems like it was just last year and this is a LeapYear!

 

CARNIVAL?? MARDI GRAS ??

OR

Fat Tuesday

Get all your sinning done

Not really sin call it fun

Leave your morals at home and have a ball

No one cares  No not at all

The evil CEOs of late

Lounge about and await their fate

No one seems to have a worry

To a man they are not sorry

The president speaks and asks for a bill

That would keep them there in the till

The money to be used is yours and mine

And I do not wish to contribute a dime

These men just didn’t wake up one day

and think. There must be an easier way

Not petty crime  No that’s beneath them

Life savings and fortunes tempt em

Fat Tuesday sees a lot of sinning

Ash Wednesday sees some repenting

Thank God there is forgiveness

No matter how evil your business



My Valentine

Of all the angels I've known in my life
The one I love best is the one I call wife
Prettier than a thousand words
More melodic than a choir of birds

Has stood beside me and cheered me on
In high and low times we happened upon
I struggle for words to express my deep love
For this lady of grace sent from above

I'll love her forever beyond time itself
and thank her for the happiness I've felt
She is my Valentine
She is my Sunshine

More than that she is my Life
I thank God she is my Wife

I am Ed  Broderick and I approve this message 



Wearing of the GREEN

Days away.

With the winds mixing from oer the ocean and the bay  

I begin to hear the swirl of the pipes and the thump of the drum

and I know the time for another parade has come

Be here in ROCKAWAY

For Another Great

ONE

You are Invited to Enjoy

ROCKAWAY'S Parade

SATURDAY

3 March 2012

 

 

Blessed Spring

T'was as always, a grand parade!
You feel a bit sad as the pipes fade
Pack up the lads as the day turns to shade.
There'll be stories galore from each one of them.
Bout; which crowd was biggest
Or who played the loudest.
But the smiles I'll witness in the days to come,
Will be caused by one sure thing.
That after St. Patrick's Day
God will bless us with a lovely Spring.
