My Grandma

She always told me to take one day
At a time .
She had her snot rag in her apron
Pocket .
She would give it to me to use
When I had to .
She had her special rosary near by .
She had her magic touch .
She said our lives are always worthwhile .
I could find hope and courage
By just looking into her eyes
Her words were warm and wise .

When she held me ,

I could feel kindness and compassion

In my grandma .

I wish , she could hold me today .

The Season

There is a fishing season ,
There is a hunting season ,
There is always an open smiley season ,
There is always an open running season ,
There is no quitting season for me  .
There is always an open season
To love and  to pray .

Leave No Doubt

When you love someone

Never leave no doubt

That you love them .

When you pray to the Lord

Never leave no doubt

Who you are praying for.

When you love sometimes

You have to give tough love

Because you love them so .

The Lord leaves no doubt

His love for you and me .

No doubt let us all pray today .

The Weight

The weight on my shoulders

Is keeping them down .

I don't always understand

What is going on .

When I run ,

I feel like I am on the Lord's shoulders

And I feel much better .

I can see what is ahead

With the help of the Lord .

I can see sunflowers and rainbows

Sometimes when I run

And the weight on my shoulder's are lighter

After a run

With the help of the Lord .

In My Path

I believe people are put in my path
So I can put a smile on their face and mine .
I believe the Lord has my back
And yours always .
Money may make you rich
But not wealthy
If you know what I mean ?
The Lord excepts you for what you are
And what we all can be come .
You and I will feel wealthy
With every smile we share
Even with the lord .
I feel the Lord even smiles from time to time .
We all are in the Lord's path .

In Your Tiny World

In your tiny world
Your face says love
You feel love
You see love
You hear love
You have unconditional love
A baby's love
Is the safest love of all
In your tiny world

Dad's House

In my dad's house

When I was young

We would pray on our knees

By my bed at night

We were never late

When we prayed to the Lord .

Dad and I together loved to sing

When we could .

I would always say

Don't leave me dad .

I want to go with you .

If I ever got into trouble  ,

Dad could straighten me up

With just his look

In his eyes .

I always knew he loved me

And I respected and loved him so .

With dad every day

Was a brand new day

He always said take one day a time..

His mother told him those things .

With dad I learned trust and so many things ,

But most of all I remember my dad's words .

No Father No Mother

Sometimes you may not think you have a father
Or a mother no more
But you will always have a special person
God , for God is your father and also your mother .
You can rest with God alone .
If a mother forgets her infant child
And the father is not around
And you are without tenderness
God will never forget you
Or abandon you.
God will always watch over you
And always love you .
Pray to God and he will keep you safe
And love you forever
No matter what you wear .

Snow

He spreads the snow like a blanket  .

You never hear the snow flakes come down

But they may get stuck on your nose

The wind even is freshening  up .

You bet !

But sometimes the snow

Will cover the ground

Like a big white blanket .

It's a great day to play and run

On  God's pure blanket .

I love the snow blanket  ,

Even when it is so cold

And up above is the bright sun

And then the white snow blanket will thaw

And I will wait for the next snowfall .
