The Size Of The Family

It is not the size of the family .

It is the love in the home .

It is the love we share 

When we are together .

It is the size of our joys

And fun and our smiles 

We share .

The first step is the hardest step  .

The phone may never ring ,

But the bathroom is always open

To be used by friends and family .

The door of  the home

Will open for one

Or for one at a time .

We all need one hug at a time .

It is never the size of the family .

It is the size of the family that is all mine .

Who Is Watching

You can sleep and no one

Is watching .

You can pray and only one

person  will hear .

You can work and no one

Has to watch ,

You can play and nobody

Has to watch you .

You can sing and no one

Has to hear you .

You can dance when no one

Is watching .

You can not walk

Without someone watching you  .

The Unexpected Sunshine

I know morning starts at midnight .

The only light is the stars up high 

And I can not see the stars .

I know it is just a matter of time

Before the sunshine .

These past days or weeks

The only thing I see are the clouds .

The clouds are only temporary 

That is hard to believe .

The unexpected sunshine will burst

Back into my life .

I need to keep my head up

And my eyes open and believe .

The sunshine will come unexpected .

I need to talk like it is going to happen today .

Oh my God , I see the sunshine

Coming through the clouds  .

Oh my God  . all the clouds 

Have disappeared suddenly .

Oh what a beautiful day .

Grandma's Eyes

I have trouble controlling 

What was thrown my way today .

My Shadow is deep .

I miss just sitting beside her .

I don't have all the answers

That she had for me .

I would ask her , who am I

And grandma would say

Be true to yourself

And that is who you are to me .

Why grandma loved me so ,

I will never know the answer .

It was always worth it to go

To grandma's .

Grandma lived for the Lord .

She wants me to do the same .

Grandma's eyes were always on me .

I know she is watching me 

Through heaven's door .

A Valley Of Hope

I am in a valley .

I don't know what to do

But my eyes are on you .

I wish , I could shake

The thunder from down here .

I was told to stand still

And the Lord will fight for me .

I don't want to stay in this valley .

My good steps are made by the Lord  .

Trouble is trouble

But misery is optional .

oh to get out of this valley ,

When I get out of this valley    ,

There will be a little more closure .

God collects my tears

For my pool of blessings .

My valley will turn into

A valley of hope .

Hey Big Guy

I would like to hold you
In my arms and keep you company forever
But it is a growing up world  .
Always smile within yourself .
Be firm in your principles .
Don't ever limit your success .
You may not love everyone
But you need to follow the law .
Hey big guy remember one more
Big thing I want you to remember
Nobody cares how much you know
It is how much you care
And how much you listen as you grow .

My Grandma's Wisdom

Grandma has experienced life .
She has the wisdom of time .
At my age at one I have none .

Oh how much her simple hug

Means to me today .

Grandma's history and wisdom

Connects us together .

She shares her life stories with me .

She always shows me the right way

And yet she would never steal my joy .

She always sales joy .

It is beautiful to feel

The encouragement that grandma

Is always able to transmit

To me in search of the meaning

Of faith and life .

I love you grandma always .

Grand-ma

I enjoyed climbing all over
Grandma's house .
Oh the wooden railing
And stairs .
Everything came down
To the way she touched
Me every day .
She was a treasure .
She could do anything
That had to be done .
She was a bridge builder
If you know what I mean .
The words said by grandma
Hold something special to me 
Every day .
I have so much gratitude
For the foundation left  by grandma .
Oh grand-ma I love you so .
