Jesus Territory

When you were in grandma's house ,

There was always a picture of Jesus

Hanging in her house some where .

It was grandma's house

But much more than that it was Jesus territory .

Grandma said , we can do big things together .

Loving grandma and Jesus 

And loving each other and forgiving

Each other was a big deal 

For grandma and  Jesus .

When you were in grandma's house

And in Jesus territory ,

They had and always will have unchanging hands ,

For they will always be praying for us .

Go Fish

Have you ever gone fishing 

In all kinds of weather ?

Have you ever done a fishing 

Dance ?

After catching your first fish

Of the day ,

You need to hold it and kiss it

Lip to lip .

While fishing you will have memories ,

You will never release 

No matter how many times

You go fish ,

There will always be memories .

Always snap shots of what

You see and what you get 

And therefore you will never forget

Your fishing trip 

But always find time to eat

To help pass the time ,

Just in case a fish goes by your line !

My Radio

I heard your love on the radio .

On the radio Jesus rescued me .

It always comes down to who

Your with and our blessed relationships .

I ran this morning ,

In the radio in my head  ,

I heard my mom and my dad and my grandma

And my blessed uncles sing to me 

And with Jesus

They helped me make it through

This day one more time .

What beautiful music

They all made .

Please sing to me just one more time .

A Friend's Feelings

Don't ever be reluctant 

To show your feelings 

We can talk on the phone

For hours and when we are done 

I can see your smile 

Over the phone .

Some days that are tough

You can call me

For I want you to know

There is value in everyone ,

And in the world we live in

Our destiny a waits .

I can try and help you

Find the right direction

Just for you .

Oh if nothing else

I can just Listen  .

I learned these things 

from people who loved me .

Don't ever forget 

Your feelings mean something

Special to me always .

A Child's Swing

The power of joy 

A child in his swing .

Oh to swing in the wind .

There is a special inspiration 

In a child's swing .

It's not just where the swing goes .

What does a child see ?

What is on the other side

Of the wind

When they swing ?

The wind is not always loud 

Like a child in his swing .

Who goes real high ,

When a child is swinging 

The child or me ?

A child is always looking

For more way up high .

The Future

You build a future

Not a past .

You build something new

Not old .

You pray today do not worry

About yesterday .

You can pray any time

Even tomorrow too .

You can dream about what

You want in the future .

A New Child

A child always smiles .

A child always laughs .

A child may cry

Because that is all he knows .

A child will always reach

For more than he has .

A child will see everything

As brand new .

A child does not know

What is wrong .

A child does all these things

And knows what he knows

Because he just came from Jesus .

The Bullseye

He loves you beyond measure .

You must rest in knowing

He loves you .

Always have him as the bullseye 

Of your over all target .

When you have so many things

Going on in your head ,

Remember , Jesus will help you

Reach all your bigger targets 

All outside the bullseye 

Of the target were Jesus lives .

When Grandma Spoke

When grandma spoke , I wish

I had leaned in a little more 

Just to hear her more .

I wish I had the strength 

And composer she had .

She was as clear as glass

Or as clear as a river

On a calm cool clear Sunday morning .

She cold even speak volumes

Without saying a word .

Mom

Mom is a lot of things .

Mom shares kindness 

And never leaves

You out to dry .

The air is just different 

Around mom .

Mom can be your best play mate .

Mom will always fight for you .

Mom is your everything .

Mom is safety .

Mom is freedom .

Mom is love .

Mom will pray for you no matter

What you do .

Believe it or not

Mom has the final say about you .

A Broken Heart

You can not hide a broken heart .

Jesus can mend a broken heart

So let Jesus in .

He never calls you out .

He does call you up .

Don't be afraid .

The best is yet to come .

Don't beat yourself up 

For Jesus is always with you .

When you have a broken heart ,

You do not have the answers 

But you have Jesus ,

Who always has a hold of thee .

You can and should talk to Jesus 

About all your troubles and needs

And also your joy of the day

Or night well really always .
