A Smile

All people smile in the same language

Even when you call them smiley .

The only way on earth to multiply 

A smile is to share them .

Of all the things you wear

Your smile is the most important .

A happy smile of yours 

Is an effectual contribution

To happiness to others .

When you smile ,

Your youth is still there .

What sunshine is to flowers

A smile is to humanity .

Remember , a smile spilled on earth

Are all the joys of heaven .

Oh My Little One

I love you when you know

You have done something wrong .

I will hold you when you are broken up

Into many pieces .

When I look into your sad no-one loves me eyes ,

I feel a stake piercing my heart ,

But I want to share my love with you 

And no matter what I am with you .

I will love you when your simple things

Become big things .

When you want someone to talk to

When you need to talk 

I will be here just for you .

I am here to cry on

When you cry .

I will carry you as long 

As you want me to 

Or just go for a walk with you as far

As you want me to .

I want you to know 

I will always love you 

No matter what .

Oh my little one .

Trying Times

Trying times are times for trying .

When you are through changing

You are through .

You can fail many times ,

But you are not a failure 

Until you begin to blame someone else .

Only one person in this whole wide world

Can defeat you .

That is yourself .

You can not do everything at once 

But you can do something at once .

A mistake is evidence 

That you have tried to do something .

When trying times come ,

You should not be disturbed at being misunderstood .

Be disturbed only 

At not understanding .

Remember always try to fix the mistake

Never the blame .

You better not be wasting time

For time is wasting you 

So you know what to do .

My Friend

You entered into my life in a casual way 

And you saw at a glance 

What I needed that day .

You became a friend of mine

Who knows everything about me

But likes me .

When trouble  comes my way ,

My friend will just stand by .

What sweetness is left in life ,

If I would take away 

Your friendship and rob our lives of our friendship ,

It would be like robbing the world of the sun and the sun light .

When your not with me

And I want you by me ,

I look up into the light of the sun of the day

Or the light of the moon at night 

And think of the beauty and gratefulness 

Of our friendship 

And when I think of you

I know you will help me through .

                                      By Brock

We Can Not Buy

We can not buy time , love

Tradition , memories , faith

Hope , kindness , goodness ,

Joy , trust , courage and gentleness 

Because you and I can be a part of these things .

These things are small in size 

But they all seem refreshing to me even today 

Because these things are truly all a large  part 

Of our lives forever .

We do not need money 

To buy these things .

The Shadow

Don't ever take the weight of the world

On your shoulder .

You can not conquer

Evil with an evil name .

Some people are kind to you

With lip service

With their hearts are far from you .

You should never look for thanks

But always remember

To say thanks .

If someone hates you ,

You must realize

That they hated God

Before they hated you  .

When you run or walk 

Play or work with them

Keep all these bad things 

Off your shoulder

And even your shadow .

                         By Brock

Our Love

The love we have for each other

Is so large .

It is like the blue sky 

That we can see clearly 

But the real vastness

Of which you and I can never measure.

Our love is without limits .

Our love is always sincere .

When I see a rainbow stretching 

From one end of the sky to the other

With each shade of color 

With each facet

Of light displays 

I feel the spectrum of our love for each other 

I feel we will always love each other 

Even at our worst and at our best .

                                      By Brock

I Have Hope

Sometimes I face loss ,

Experience hurt or just feel alone .

God will gently pull me out of my darkness .

No matter how painful the circumstances

My hope remains secured in the light 

Of God's truth ,

Which always reveals His unchanging character .

My endless hope is in the Lord 

My helper , my mighty and merciful God .

The Lord lifts me up 

Because I will always have Him 

And therefore will always have hope .

His Guidance

When you get up on your feet ,

Sometimes life seems to knock 

You down once more .

You struggle through your tears .

God can bring times of growth

Out of your times of heartache .

He helps you build on the gifts 

He has given you .

You need to listen to his instructions .

Lord helps to prepare to launch 

You into each new day .

You need to pray each day 

For his help and guidance .

Every day thank God 

For God knows you and loves you always .

Remember what God gives you

Will not go to anyone else 

Because you are one of a kind .

Remember when God guides you ,

You will find

Joy and you will be a winner 

When things truly counts 

For you will always be in God's eyes .

                                     By Brock

Prayer Power

When you are concerned 

About the welfare of a loved one

Pray for them .

When they are in trouble ,

Try to intercede for God .

When you pray ,

You will feel strengthened 

Inside and outside .

When you ache over the challenges 

Facing your loved ones 

And fear the situation will not change 

You need to believe in God 

And keep praying .

Never underestimate the prayer power .

Prayer power is truly something .

Mom And Grandma Hands

The hand that rocks the cradle 

Is the hand that rules the world .

A child's dream is tomorrow's reality .

Our world is in a child's hands 

But they are in mom and grandma's 

Hands first of all .

Mom and grandma they have extreme 

Patience and gentle understanding

And never ending love .

Their love is exhilarating and exhausting .

Their love for the child is so beautiful 

And yet so special and rewarding 

That it can not easily be described in words .

Mom and grandma have the opportunity 

To guide this new life toward it's destiny 

Can only be seen as a precious gift from God .

It all started with a hand that rocked the cradle .

Thank God for mom and grandmas 

For taking turns with the new child .

                                    By Brock

I Have Hope

With hope I can cope .

Hope is a state of mind .

Hope is a deep and powerful since .

Hope is not the same as joy 

That things are going well 

Or willingness to invest 

In enterprise that are obviously 

Healing for success

But rather an ability 

To work for something 

Because it is good .

Hope is the thing

With feathers that perches

In the soul 

And sings the tune 

Without the words 

And never stops at all .

Hope is the ability 

To hear the music 

Of the future .

             By Brock

God Is Great

He reaches down to hold your hand

To help your heart to understand .

He is always close in time of need .

He will take the lead .

He is with you through the longest night .

You are always in His gentle caring sight .

He speaks to you in loving tone 

And shares the moments when you are alone .

Life never is quite the same 

Without His help through the hurt and pain .

He is with you every night and day .

                                              By Brock

He Will Surround You

When you hurt and you feel

Surrounded by trouble 

Remember God will surround 

Your Trouble 

So do not worry and do not be afraid 

For God knows everything 

And knows all .

God controls the universe .

God will never let you down .

God has the way to bring 

You out of your trouble .

You will feel free .

Open your eyes to your faith .

You need to stay in peace .

God will surround your trouble 

For he is your vindicator always .

                             By Brock

Walk In Step

Let me walk in step 

With you with love .

I can see your love 

All around me .

You are a gift from God .

That makes my life complete .

I wish you all your life's happiness .

May your day times be filled

With laughter 

And your nights with gentle peace .

May you never feel

The pain of wanting .

May you have the best of health 

And the best of everything 

So let me walk in step 

With you with love .

                      By Brock

Prayer

Prayer should be the key

Of the day 

And the lock of the night .

Prayer digs the channels 

From the reservoir of God's boundless 

Resources to the tiny pools of our lives .

Prayer changes things .

Prayer changes you ,

You maybe so busy today

But you must spend more time

Than usual in prayer .

Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance 

It is laying hold on His willingness .

Prayer is not an attitude 

Attained but an attitude maintained ,

The secret of prayer is a secret prayer .

Remember , pray do not worry 

About anything pray about everything .

                                    By Brock

God Is A Friend

You can look to God as your friend .

You can have a personal sense 

Of His love for you 

And His interest 

In you and what you do .

He is concerned about you .

He wants your companionship .

He wants you to be close to Him .

He wants to shield you ,

To protect you , to counsel you 

And guide you all through your life .

You should become friends with God 

Because he is already a friend of yours .

God's friendship is the unexpected joy 

You find when you reach 

For his outstretched hand .

                        By Brock

A Clean Conscience

Work is the best narcotic .

A habit can be man's best friend 

Or it can be his worst enemy .

No wise man ever wished to be younger .

A clean conscience 

Is a safe pillow .

Anger is a wind 

that blows out the lamp of the mind 

Oh meditation or medication .

                                 By Brock

At All Times

Praise God at all times .

Use time as a type of trainer .

God is always behind the scenes .

Always think and love from the heart .

Thank God for the way

He has traveled with you so far 

And for the journey 

That lied ahead .

In your time think back and thank God 

Now look forward 

And trust God .

Never make your pit stop 

Your home .

Praise God and move on .

Remember Jesus 

Is not valued at all until ,

He is valued above all

So praise him always .

                  By Brock

A Better Day

When You ask people

To do something for you 

And they do not do it ,

Do not get upset .

When people discount 

respect or your love ,

Do not become angry .

You can feed your history 

And feed your destiny .

Find sometime to spend with Jesus

And talk to him .

He will listen and understand .

Pray for peace 

And hope and harmony 

And for a better day .

                       By Brock

I Feel It

When you are frightened ,

And you have a heavy burden 

And everything seems wrong ,

Leave it all to God .

Take the time to stop 

And squeeze your hands together 

And squeeze tight and count to five 

And then let go and then breath 

And you will feel better 

Because God has it all in the palm 

Of his hands .

You will be blessed

When you believe in Him .

Love In Perfect Unity

Grandpa's love is old love .

A grandchild's love is new love .

They have love to give 

And love to share  .

Some things grandpa 

Wants to say and show

To his grandchild 

Is love and be helpful 

And to show encouragement  .

Grandpa's kindly advice 

Is always better than a great deal

Of scolding .

Grandpa's words are like honey 

Sweet to the soul and healthy 

For the both of them .

Grandpa will try to understand 

What his grandchild is trying to say .

Their love will bind them together 

In perfect unity .

The Middle

The Lord brings you into the world 

And He will take you home .

You have your life in this world 

In the middle .

You have to do your best 

In the middle .

Don't ever give up 

When things are not just right .

When you are in the middle ,

You have to pray and work at it .

God will lead you the right way .

God is always at work in and through you .

In the middle you need to have hope , peace 

And faith .

Your troubles will always

Have an expiration date .

God knows you can handle

The middle .

Remember God can always 

Hear and see

And hold your hand when you worry .

Always try to do the best thing 

And always look up 

And thank the Lord 

For he will bless you always .

You should marvel 

At the beauty of your life every day .
