My offering to the football gods today!

Please please please let me get what I want this time!

 

It’s Burnley’s last game of the season today… at home to Newcastle. It’s a big ‘big game’!

If we win we stay in the Premier league, if we draw and Leeds draw or lose at Brentford we stay in the Premier league, if we lose and Leeds lose we stay in the Premier league.

Any other result is a disaster!

 

C’mon Burnley!

GOD’S GARDEN

 

Robert Frost

 

God made a beatous garden

With lovely flowers strown,

But one straight, narrow pathway

That was not overgrown.

And to this beauteous garden

He brought mankind to live,

And said: 'To you, my children,

These lovely flowers I give.

Prune ye my vines and fig trees,

With care my flowerets tend,

But keep the pathway open

Your home is at the end.'

 

Then came another master,

Who did not love mankind,

And planted on the pathway

Gold flowers for them to find.

And mankind saw the bright flowers,

That, glitt'ring in the sun,

Quite hid the thorns of av'rice

That poison blood and bone;

And far off many wandered,

And when life's night came on,

They still were seeking gold flowers,

Lost, helpless and alone.

 

O, cease to heed the glamour

That blinds your foolish eyes,

Look upward to the glitter

Of stars in God's clear skies.

Their ways are pure and harmless

And will not lead astray,

Bid aid your erring footsteps

To keep the narrow way.

And when the sun shines brightly

Tend flowers that God has given

And keep the pathway open

That leads you on to heaven.

Done
