A Home Of My Dreams

Heaven is so far away

Yet it can be the next open door .

When your in heaven ,

You can sing 

And play with the best band in the land .

The song birds will sing .

The angels will wave .

The flowers there even speak .

You will have time

To direct a sunset .

Old bad memories will be erased there .

You will always feel the thrill

Of a baby's kiss ,

Oh how beautiful heaven is .

Jesus will rock you in his arms

And all your pains no longer exist

For now you are truly home .

Rest With Him

Your anchor of hope is rest .

Rest with God .

Don't miss your destiny .

Find time to put a boundary .

Don't let any peace stealer

Wake you up with their

Doubts and their worries

For you are at rest .

Hold your peace .

Remember , when at rest

God will fight your battles

So do not disturb me .

I am at rest .

The Good Things

You should do the good things

More often .

Always look for good opportunities

And do them .

Share love with no limits .

You are strong but when you

Are with friends and family

You all become stronger .

Do not be deafened by the noise

In the world or your own thinking

For good thinking is always good for the soul .

We are good when we please God

With our hope and faith in Christ alone .

You need to believe you can do anything good

Just believe in yourself more often .

We Are Given Memories

We are given memories

To have roses in December .

We are given memories

To be with our friends and family

With us whenever we need them .

We are given memories

To smell the new cut grass in winter .

We are given memories

Of a baby's touch and it's smile

That happened years ago

Or maybe one that was born on Aug 8th !!

We will see if his name is Slick or Mick ?

We are given memories up to his birthday !!! 

We are given memories to never forget

The love we give and receive

And how memories can change your life forever .

Run With Me

When I run I start with my left foot 

Then my right foot then I breath

And I know you are with me .

We will forge a pathway

With the help of the beautiful

Sunrise above us .

It maybe a arduous

At times .

Sometimes when we run it is joyful

Just to get away with you

And sometimes running

Is like plodding

And so heavy .

We know to take one day at a time

When we run

And to take one step at a time .

With each run we get stronger .

Sometimes the path we take maybe difficult

And the scenery might be dull at times

But there are always sparkling surprises

Like a pheasant that flies by

Just to say hi

But the best thing is when you run with me .

To Worry

Do not worry about tomorrow .

Time is divided into days and night

So we can handle time in manageable portions .

God uses the present circumstances

To prepare us for the future .

Faith makes things possible

But not easy

So do not worry .

When you worry ,

You will stagger under the heavy load

Remember we all have a body that is flimsy

When we worry .

Let the Lord handle

All our worries .

Trust the Lord at all times .

To worry only brings out a story .

An Appetite For Love

Clean your ears to hear I say I love you .

Do not compare yourself to anyone but yourself .

For I love you .

Because of you , the colors of early mornings

Are so beautiful .

Did you know ,

If you give continually ,

You will have continual love 

And will receive continual love .

With my appetite for your love ,

I will never need to worry .

I will never need to hurry

For your love .

                                By Brock

You Make A Difference

I want to encourage you .

Nobody  can make a greater mistake

Than he who does nothing

Because he could only do a little .

Do what you can with what you have

And leave the rest and results to God .

You do make a difference in your world

And I am lucky to be in your world with you.

You need to believe in God

And believe what you can do .

Smiley

A smile is something any one can do .

A smile brightens up people's day

And tells others how much we like them .

The simple gesture of a smile

Or calling anyone smiley

Can cause a chain reaction of happiness .

Think of all the goodness that a smile will cause .

Remind everyone to smile today

And make someone's day a little happier

By just calling the next child or person you see Smiley .

Do They Know

Some people make fun of me

No matter how old I am

Or even them .

I think they feel so insecure

With them self that they try to find

Things wrong with everyone else

Just to make them self feel better .

I think they feel better for a while .

I hope , they feel guilty about it after

They leave me

But maybe not .

Do they know that I always try to treat others

As I would like to be treated .

Some people will always think of me

As different than them .

Thank God I am .

Old Friend

Old friend you have always

Been there old friend .

You promise to hold my hand

To give me strength .

You have already done great things

For me .

There is no secret

What my old friend can do .

An old friend will never hesitate

To help thee .

He will always listen

And try to understand me .

He will stand by me

And guide me

Through all my troubled times .

To Curse

Bless those who curse you

Don't try to get even .

Pray for those who have done you wrong .

It is more effective being kind

To those who laugh at you .

Don't curse let the bad thoughts go by by  .

Don't get stuck

In what someone has done to you .

Get past the hurt .

Show that you past the test

Of true forgiveness

By judging them by clemency

And show them respect

By feeding them supper .

                                  By Brock

Rest

I stood by the gurgling lake

That goes by me at its own speed .

I am delighted in the beauty

It brings to me today .

I feel myself relax

As I see and listen to the birds

That are singing or chirping away !

I wish , I could have brought my fishing pole .

I have found no fish ,

But I have found time to rest

And renew my soul .

Today , I have rediscovered the beauty

And richness of setting a special time to rest .

The Gifts

When you pluck a petal

From a daisy ,

You will think of love .

When you see a rainbow

With two ends ,

You will see more stars

When you look up that night

And that is so .

When you whip the tears

From your cheeks ,

I know kindness will follow .

With every child to play with

Your heart is full with laughter.

When you call anyone smiley ,

A smile will be placed on their face .

The gifts you earned ,

Were the lessons you learned

While answering other people and kids needs .

                                           By Brock

Never Forget

Never forget the moments we share

And the moments we save .

When you give , you will receive .

Love is caring .

Let nothing block the path

That leads to you .

Be sensitive to each day .

You never out grow your smile .

A smile never gets old .

Never forget age has nothing

To do with friendship

So never forget

We all have love and hope in us .

                             By Brock

Morning

There is the stillness .

You can not buy a cloud in the sky .

The water on the lake

Is just like glass .

You can find time to pray

And be thankful

And live simply

And dream big .

You will have more room

For peace and joy .

Oh what a beautiful morning ,

                   By Brock

We Are Connected

When you were born ,

I was nerves because I care

And big guy

I want you to know that love is caring .

When you have the worst of times

Is the time you got to trust and to believe .

Everyone will accuses you

And dress you as they see fit .

You may never know

How much I love you so .

I will always be sensitive to your needs .

Now not all your dreams will come true

But enough of them will

To keep you and me going on .

We will always be connected

Because I am your loving grandpa .
