Grandma Said

Grandma always said she was fine
For the shape she was in .
When I ever asked the question why
And I would wine ,
She knew how to calm my down .
If ever I did something bad ,
I would go to grandma's first  .
She knew how to clean me up
On a bad day .
She could make me feel blessed
Like nobody else .
Grandma believed when you pray
He hears .
Grandma said  I stored up riches
When I revere my mother and grandma .
Grandma said to give thanks each new day
And to take one day at a time .
I try to do what grandma said  I try .

My Hope In 2014

It is a new year 2014 .
It is a new day Jan 1 .
It will be 8 years without a drink for me .
Last year was not easy .
Some days were harder for me to see
So I drank more green tea  or coffee
Like a wise guy told me I should
To get through the bad days .
People don't know what I have been through
But for some one to ask me to open a can of beer.
I was told it was a twist cap but it was not .
I prayed for the guy
Who laughed at my expense .
He did not know the cost of that beer
That one day in 2013 to me .
I hope in 2014
I keep my serenity and sobriety
I hope you all know what I mean .
I only take one day at a time
There are so many twist and turns every day .
I pray every day because I know Jesus is always with me .

The Silverware

I yank the spoon and fork and knife
Because I can not wait to eat .
They don't always get in the right hands .
They get dirty 3 times a day .
They start each time we eat clean .
A napkin wrapped around all three .
They may end up on the floor
Or on the table can't you see ,
Thank you for those who set up
The silverware each day
Just for us to eat breakfast ,
Dinner and supper .

The Little Things

It is the little Things
That touch the heart .
It is the little things
That you can not wait to see .
It is the little things
That we really want to hold ..
It is the little things
That we protect from the cold .
It is the little things
That keeps us all together .
It is the little things
That are new or old .
Oh how so many little things matter .
Oh how they touch our hearts .

Dad Jesus And Me

I heard my dad sing
The Sweetest Story Ever Told  last night  .
I broke down into tiny pieces like every Christmas .
When my baby was born ,
I thought I saw the sweetest story
Yet to be told and I broke into pieces
But my dad and Jesus was with me .
Now I hope to be a grandpa some day
That will be the day the sweetest
Story ever told will be told to me .
The baby will be called smiley or squeeze  some day !

Dad Jesus and me will have the sweetest story ever  told

But I will get to play with his toes !!!

Christmas Out Here

You can face the white snow

Covered prairie out here .

When you are out here ,

You only live for others out here .

We all have roles to play out here .

Out here you can smile

And go wild out here .

The clouds always row in

When you truly don't

Want them out here  .

The sound of silence

Is always out here .

You need to reflect

On friends and family

Always out here .

I love to fish and hunt and run out here .

You should all come out here .

We will have a happy Christmas out here .

Snow Snow Snow

When the snow comes down ,
We never use the word accumulate .
We just play .
With friends all around us
We will keep each other warm .
Together we gather snow flakes
And have a ball .
We will play football in the snow .
We will work our magic our own way .
Oh those crazy plays .
We will all get wet  ,
But we all win
When we fall in the snow
When we play football in the snow .
On a Sunday when time passes so quickly .
It is like a holiday to me ,
Because I'm with my friends
This snowy Sunday
And we all are winners .

O Come On Mom

Wake up don't waste a day
That God has made o come on mom .
I know you have lost sleep over me
But come on mom .
I know your my mom for a reason .
You were always up lifting to me .
You always showed me the right way .
You told me there is always more to see
And more to reach for each new day .
You took care of me the best way
You knew how .
You made me feel safe .
You took me places I did not want
To go to come on mom ,
But you always took me places I really
Wanted to go to .
Thank you mom
I love you .
After all these years ,
It is my turn to take care of you
The best I can .
I am here now to do more
Than hold your hand ,
Because I love you and owe you
For you gave me life .
Well mom , I have lost sleep over
You mom,because you and I
Have the same type of heart 
So you know what that means .
I know I am lucky to have you mom ,
But come on mom .
We will always pray together
In all kinds of weather .
I am right behind you now mom
O come on mom .
I will show you the right way
O come on mom .
This is true love come with me .
We will get there together .
Just take my hand .
A day with you is never wasted
O come on mom .

The Baby And The Turtle

The baby may sleep morning , noon or night,
But the turtle only sleeps at night .
A baby loves to crawl  .
A turtle always crawls and that is not all .
Sometimes we paint the turtle's back .
We are known to paint the baby's face ,
And that will put a smile on our faces  ,
We will always watch the baby .
We may watch the turtle for the baby
And the turtle will always
Have measurable moments ,
The baby and the turtle
Will always have stepping stones
They have to take .
We all have to watch them .
We love to hold them if we can
Catch them .

Oh Lord

Are you the one
That will give my feeble hand
More strength so that I can handle
More than I can today some day maybe  ?
Will you give my weak knee
More strength and firmness
So that I can stand up for more
Than I do now maybe some day maybe ?
May my eyes always be open to see the light .
May my ears be clear to hear
And understand more than I do these days .
Oh Lord , are you the one to save me ?
I will wait and pray to you and for me .
Oh Lord , I need to grow oh Lord each day .

To Be A Coach

I want a whistle around my neck .
Every thing is perkilating  around me.
Sometimes you have to stay under the table .
Sometimes it gets so hot .
Have you ever thought of diving into an empty pool ?
Do you always know what to do ?
In the morning there may be a foggy dawn .
An unanswered question from a player
Can be a blessing in the long run .
After all that I have said so far ,
Do you want to be a coach,
When it is hot or when its cold ,
Or only when everything is just right  ?
You better stop dreaming  .
When coaching nothing stays the just right.
But chai green tea , the chai vert, or coffee .
The coach knows .

An Angel

An angel will never loss her wings.

An angel always sings happily .

An angel will listen to you ,

Talk to you and always protect you .

All out moments in time are shared

With an angel .

An angel will make sure our spirit

Will never be defeated .

An angel is never still .

An angel is always with you .

You just have to believe

And trust in them .

Every baby has his or her own angel

And even the baby has some angel hair

In their hair ,

Because angels are even closer

To a Child .

Every Day

Every day , every day , every day !
Every day you should laugh , think and cry .
Every day you should say
Just trust , just trust , just trust .
Every day you should pray .
Every day you should find time to smile .
Every day you should dream .
Every day you should rest just for a while .
Every day you are a pro
At what ever you do
When you have love in you .
Remember every day is a gift .

Days Long Ago

We all played out front or in the back yard
Of our parent's house .
The days were longer years ago .
We played in the park sometimes
We even played on the court house lawn .
We would play cowboys or Indians
Or cops and robbers even combat
All the same day .
We would play football all day
Or baseball or basketball all day
Because we all wanted to win
Before the end of the day .
When the whistle blew all things ended
We knew we had to go home .
We all made plans for the next day
Of play with family and friends  .
Because we all had the next day ahead
To play all day long .
Oh those days all so long ago .
We all had our fights once an a while ,
But we knew the days were longer
Than our fights  ,
Because we were all family and friends
And we loved each other ,
We would also share things and dreams
Those days long ago and even today .

Today , when the days are so short

And we all are so far apart

Yet we are all close as one.

On this day after all these years

Oh those days of long ago

Thank you one and all .

You And I

Put your hand on my chest
For my heart will always
Beat for you.
I have big blue eyes ,
But when you are with me ,
You will never be blue .
When we sing and play
And jump around and have fun ,
Our dreams come alive .
When we take naps together ,
I will sing to you
So we can close our eyes
And you and I can sleep .
We will go to dream land
Where every dream ,
We dream comes true for you and I .

To Be Young

Each day has a surprise .

Colors mean a lot .

You will smell the flowers .

You will hear the rain .

You will chase after a toad ,

Oh so much fun .

Your voice will rise .

You will feel the sun

And the wind

When you run .

There is not a flicker

Of darkness in your eyes .
