Lessons from Noah's Ark

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

Poem Artwork

A slight break in:


The Adventures of Little Andy


And His Insect Friends®


 


Grey Wolf is recovering


From his wounds,


And Andy is celebrating


His son’s published poem.


Please check out


Andy’s latest post.


 


The adventure


Will conclude soon.


 


Meanwhile,


A friend sent this to me,


And I thought it was worth sharing,


Especially in these trying times.


 


Lessons from Noah’s Ark


 


Author Unknown


 


 


Plan Ahead


It wasn’t raining yet when Noah built the Ark


 


Stay Fit


When you are 600 years old,


Someone may ask you to do something important


 


Don’t Listen to the Critics


Just Do What has to be Done


 


Always Build on the High Ground


 


If You Can’t Fight or Flee – Float


 


Take Care of Your Animals


As if They were the Last Ones on Earth


 


When the Doo-Doo Gets Really Deep,


Don’t Just Sit There Complaining,


- Shovel


 


Always Remember,


The Ark


Was Built by Amateurs,


And the Titanic


Was Built by Professionals


 


And


 


Never Forget,


That Everyone on Earth


 


Is in the Same Boat

Every bit of this is the truth and for sure we are all in the same boat. Now if we could all just row in the same direction world might get better.

"Don’t Listen to the Critics
Just Do What has to be Done" -

This sounds so good. We must have confidence in ourselves first, nevermind about all and everyone else. Confidence starts from within.

A very inspiring write.

Simple but deeply profound at the same time - and, yes, we are all in the same boat indeed and the world gets smaller by the minute. Endless wrongs will never magically end up at right, so why don't we just call it a day and enter the Ark while there's still time?! After all, what would have happened if the the wildebeast had refused to go on the grounds that there were lions also aboard?! Desperate times require desperate measures... tick, tock goes the clock!! Sink or swim?! Do we HAVE a choice?! Kate xxx Good thought for the day here, Ed!

A very inspiring write. Do you know that Noah found a devil inside his boat right in the middle of no where? Well if no, let me tel you later.

I don't live on high ground,
No more do I own a boat,
Unless you call this beast I live in,
A "land yacht" of suitable proportions,
But I can tread water & do own a surfboard,
That may be enough, when the rain it comes in torrents...

This was a much needed laugh and reminder, that what man builds usually sinks in the long run...Peace, Ed & Rufuz

Ha! You can't imagine, Eddie K, how I needed that picture to carry in my head just now.. it's a doozy, indeed. Sigh.. then there's the piece.. filled me up, so it did... brought me a noticably physical settling of my being, my spirit, my soul. I sound dramatic, I suppose, but I mean every word. Paths cross for a reason.. sometimes it isn't a person on that path, but food for the psyche. thank you.. this is exactly what I needed, exactly now. You clever mind-reader, you. (smile) katy xox.
