My Dad

I miss my dad .

It has been more than 55 years

When my dad died .

Yet at times like today 

I feel the pain .

It changed my life  forever 

Even at 14 .

He was my protector

Who kept me safe and secure .

I never really got over the loss

And he is never far from my heart and soul

And soul 

And my thoughts 

Even when I go hunting

Or fishing even today .

Oh dad I love you so .

            I Love You All

My Grandchild

I do not get to see my squeaky  ,

My Smiley every day .

He is getting so big  everyday .

I do not get to talk to him much

But every night 

Before I go to sleep 

I pray for him and  I tell the Lord 

I  love him 

And I ask the Lord to guide

Him with every step he makes .

I will always want to help  him

Feel special .

I would like to help everyone 

Make them feel special .

The Lord hears me and helps

Me feel special oh so special 

Thank You Lord .

Mom

They ask us how are you doing these days ? 

I tell them we watched our mom 

Handle any and all obstacles 

Life threw her way .

We are sure she cried herself to sleep 

Many nights ,

But she always got up every morning

And did an amazing job 

Raising her boys  .

We could never be weak 

Because we learned from the best .

We could always talk to her 

About anything 

And she would not judge us .

We will always keep her 

In our lives and in our hearts .

                 I  Love You All

Parents

 

Parents do not need tears

When they die .

They need your hugs 

Smiles laughter love and your care.

When they are alive .

Lord we can not stand along 

Without you .

You never know 

When the sands of time 

Will run out 

So bless your parents tonight .

To those who have died 

Go outside tonight

When it is dark 

And look up to the stars 

And say thank you …….

I love you

And you will always 

Be in my heart .

        I Love You All

The Tongue

The tongue has no bones

But it is strong enough 

To break a heart .

So be careful with your words .

Some days are better than others .

With your tongue be positive 

And stay strong .

You can never do everything 

But you can do your best .

Some days you need to pray 

For a miracle .

For God can do the impossible .

Always thank God for the gift of life .

Sometimes  you have to wash 

Your mouth and tongue  out with soap

To start a new !

God’s Channel

We may be crying  and worrying  ?

Worrying is about a conversation 

We have with our selves 

About things we can not change .

How attentive are we

When we cry or hear a cry 

A whimper or moans of shouts .

To those in need around us ?

We need to be a channel 

Of God’s tenderness.

To those in need through our listening 

Our reaching out 

Our advocation  and prayers .

           I Love You All
