Sometimes a simple rhyme can raise that smile.
CLIMBING JACOB'S
LADDER
From the body of an Angel
Shone the figure of a Saint
With a purity and innocence
No man could ever taint
In a frail and tiny body
Looking vulnerable and weak
Hides the courage of a Lion
To inspire the young and meek
Take a lesson from our Jacob
Take this though with you this night
From our first breaths on arrival
We continue life's big fight
From the bottom of the ladder
In a bid to reach the top
Keep your friends and love around you
For the battle will not stop
So as Jacob faces his ladder
Taking one day at a time
Just believe his tiny courage
And he's sure to make the climb
Please enjoy my words. |

IHow do you make a living from a site like this? I do not class myself as a poet, that would be far too serious. I class myself as someone who has a knack of throwing together a few verses on any subject that is in my mind. I enjoy making the words rhyme and get satisfaction from looking back at rhymes I have written, wondering where they came from. I hope you enjoy my words. I hope you smile where you are supposed too, and I hope they make you think, just for a moment, about their meaning to you. Many are based on my own experiences and I hope you can relate to them. Why not click on the DONATE button and slip me a few quid so I can justify spending more time on writing.
