Grandma Does


Grandma plays everything 
From cards to board games ,
To make believe with all of us for hours 
And act as if there is nothing 
Else she would rather do .
My grandma has ears 
That always listen 
And arms that hug and hold .
Her love never ends 
And her heart is made of gold .
I would do anything for grandma 
And she would do anything for me .

Thanksgiving


Be thankful for what you have .
Always make time for things  you want .
Be thankful for the people 
In your world ,
The people you see '
And talk to everyday ,
Be thankful for the memories 
That go through your head everyday even Thanksgiving .
Be thankful for those who listen to you 
Any time of day or night 
Even to those who do not talk back 
But they are always in your heart 
So always be thankful for them all
Not just on Thanksgiving 
But everyday always tell them 
You love them  .
Remember , no one is alone 
on Thanksgiving or any day .

A Dark Time


If you are going through a dark time ,
Do not lose hope .
You will not be consumed
By what you face .
Keep up trusting in God's faithful love 
And provision for you .

In 100 Years


100 years from now 
It will not matter 
What kind of house 
I lived in ,
How much money I had
Or what kind of clothes I had
And were like .
But the world may be just 
A little better 
Because I was important in the life 
Of a child 
Because I called him Smiley .

Oh To Wait


I learned that through 
The prophet Isaiah ,
The Lord tells us that waiting all 
Can be a good thing .
Waiting upon the Lord shall renew 
Our strength.
Waiting upon the Lord has taught me 
That God is working while.
 I am waiting .
This perspective has opened my eyes 
To the many gifts my heavenly 
Father has given me since 
I learned to wait for gifts include renewed strength
And purpose for my life .
I know God works on a different time table 
Than my time .
If I am always open to waiting ,
I believe , God can bless and shape me 
Into the person He wants me to be .

Experts Say


Experts say that the human brain 
Can hold 2 billion bits of data  in a lifetime 
In my lifetime I have been called The Brain 
But at my age these days 
The only bits of data my brain holds 
Are scribbled on yellow sticky notes .

Time


Time is time right .
Time is the wisest 
Of all counselors .
Well grandparents 
Have plenty of time ,
Wisdom and advice .
All parents and grandchildren 
Should know all this 
Before it is to late .
This is my advice .
