Mom and Grandma

What do you say to a mother that brought you into this world?

What do you say to a mother that fed you when you were young?

What do you say to a mother that always has a dollar when you need it

Right away?

What do you say to a mother that always lets you watch the T. V.

Station you want?

What do you say to a mother who has always been by your side when

You are sick?

What do you say to a mother who will always let you use the car?

What do you say to a mother who tries to have you in church every

Sunday?

What do you say to a mother who will always worry about her children

From 1 to 92?

I LOVE YOU MOM AND GRANDMA

A Hug

A hug comes in one size fits all.

It has been determined that a hug is great for your health.

A hug rattles only love.

A hug never runs dry.

It never said what's the matter it never really talks,

But it always feels good.

You never lose anything with a hug.

A hug does almost every thing,

It could even keep a flag from touching the ground.

A hug is never washed away but could be rubbed off

But is never forgotten.

Winter in South Dakota

It's Winter In South Dakota

And the gentle breezes blow

Seventy miles an hour

At twenty - five below

Oh how I love South Dakota

When the snow 's up to your butt

You take a breath of winter

And your nose gets frozen shut

Yes the winter here is wonderful

So I guess I'll hang around

I could never leave South Dakota

'Cause I'm frozen to the ground

Just had to send this because

It's snowing again

Love

Love can cause delusions.

Love and marriage is the end of hope!

When we Question

Love, we must love that much more.

Love is making your life count.

When you look at someone every day

You some times stop looking at them that special way

So just stop and look at who you love

With open eyes today.

Life Line

Life line is but a pat on the back

It is as powerful as a smile that could turn

Down the sound of thunder

Life line is but a kiss yes a kiss

That kisses away the rain

Never complain about anything for you

Will have to explain the thunder in your life

And the tears in the rain

True Friends

In the grass that is dancing in the wind

on a hot summer day, we are but shadows

in God's green earth.

We always watch out for each other.

May we always be wounded healers.

As friends, we first remember

the things we did together --

Second, we have feelings we shared.

The third thing we have together

are the memories.

True friends are true relatives

not by blood but just by their hearts.

We are true friends.

Connected

Waiting is a normal part of family

Life they say,

We first wait for a child's birth,

Then for small legs to slow down

Then for those legs to run home

Every day.

Later we wait for the teenager

To return home safe before the sun comes

Up shinning in the morning

Finally we wait alone anticipating

A call or visit from an adult child.

Waiting is sacred time for even

In waiting we are connected.

Run With Me

When I run

I can sweat,

Pray and cry

And nobody can tell

The difference

But God and that is all that

Counts.

God even said it is ok to cry.

So run with me always.

Now that I am old

And have more things

To worry about, I run even more.

I run to get away

From the everyday things

To get nearby God you see.

Now I run and sweat and cry

And pray to God

For help so God helps me

All that he can.

For God even said it is ok to cry

So, run with me always.

A Child of Mine

My child, you come into this world

and you own it all, for your

world is alive.

I will always love you.

I will be loyal to you.

My ears will never be plugged to hear

or unable to listen to you.

I will laugh with you never at you.

You will always be welcomed

in your own home.

I will show you the light in the dark.

I will show you love every day and

every night.

I want you to chase after your dreams,

Even if it is a windmill - for I

want you to always run with

the wind and to have it all.

I want you to learn to fish,

To hunt and to run and never give up

on your dreams and always keep

your head held up high.

My dream is to watch you grow

and achieve all your dreams and to

be the best you can be.

Beautiful Dream

A cloud in the sky is like a man's dream

it may develop into something beautiful

the sun is like a man's eye

it watches over everything

the blue in the sky is like giving hope

to a man's dream

the rain that comes from the cloud

is like telling a man that a dream of his did not come true

the wind that comes after a good rain

is like washing a man's eyes

so he may see a more beautiful dream

come true

the heat of the day is like giving energy

to a dream to grow

the color green of new grown grass

is like giving color to a man's dream

may you and I never walk on

a man's beautiful dream

Daddy's Little Girl

You're just a little girl

You're mine, all mine.

And when you roll those great big eyes

Oh, how do they shine!

Perhaps You may not amount to much

But you're mine, just the same.

Someday among the old folks,

You'll have a great big name.

Your Daddy loves you dearly,

He loves you all the time.

My Flag

Flags come in all kinds of colors

Mine is white

Some are light

Some are heavy at times

Some are large some are small

I use mine when I am happy or sad

When I am low or on a high

When I laugh or when I cry

Even when the wind gets in my eye

I sometimes lay it by my head at night

I know I can use it anytime of day or night

The flag I use and fly at will

Is the handkerchief or the snot rag

That I carry in my back pocket

Is called my prayer flag
