The Road

 Grief is a lonely road .
Why does everything 
Not stay the same as it was ?
My heart goes on beating .
I wake up in the morning 
And my eyes of mine cry  .
Why does the sun keep shining ?
I have so much on my mind .
I get into my car and just drive
Out into the country 
With my windows all down 
And I can smell the new mowed hay ,
Then I came back home ,
We sit in our backyard 
And you would make my problems small .
And we would smell the lilacs .
I do not understand it at all
I will keep praying 
For I know you are praying for me as well .

Trust God

Trusting in God
Is not always easy .
I trust God with all my heart .
There are days 
When my way 
Is so oh so unclear
My heart needs 
More trusting and loving .
Oh God is always with me  .
I will never forget 
His closeness .
              I Love You All

My Expectation

When it comes to prayer  ,
I may have certain expectation 
About how God should respond And also when .
But God's goodness and salvation
Have no time limits .
No matter what 
I can trust that God's timing 
Is better than mine .
                                         I Love You All

The Past

You should not dwell on the past 
It does not do any good at all .
It is like keeping unneeded cloths .
They will not hurt us .
While cleaning the closet 
Made me wonder ,
Had I been holding on to memories and habits 
That keep me from fully pursuing 
The new people and things 
God has planned for me ?
I pray that God will help me embrace 
The future God has in store for me 
Not the past .

Always

I always have a desire to want to .
You are always as warm
As the bottom side of your pillow .
When you dream ,
Yes you will always have dreams 
Of coming home .
You will always have ups and downs .
Always pray .
God always knows your needs .
There will always be a new day .
Even when we get old 
We should always have a desire to want to 
Do more things 
Like bending our knees ,
Even when they hurt anyway .
                           I Love You All

Love is Forever

One thing is for sure
The love that move my feet 
And open my eyes 
To the wonder that Jesus 
Is risen.
This is how it works for me .
Faith dawns on me 
As I lean close
And fall in love with Jesus ,
My heart knows this love 
Is forever .
                  I Love You All

My Age

Some day you will be my age .
I just got a jump on you that is all .
Some day you will feel the air 
That I breath today .
You can live with failure 
But not with regret .
You can not take on every fight  ,
Life like time always keeps changing .
Some day you will lose me 
But we will always be together .
I pray you will never
Go through what I have gone through .
Hope is always with us forever .
I hope you smile once a day 
Because I sure try my best .
To my grandson 
Who I will always love ,
Take one day at a time 
For life is to short .
                     I Love You All

To Reach

I can reach out to God 
Whose guidance , understanding 
And protection 
Are always there for me .
God wants to walk me always .
Like my grandson 
When he was young 
He would take my hand 
For he trusted me,
Knowing I loved him  .
At my age today I can hold on
To God , I will trust God's steadfast love 
To keep me from falling .
                                      I Love You All

Little Memories

Always pray and never get weary 
Praying or even feel wary .
We need to pray to the Lord 
Who made the beauty 
Of the heaven and earth .
There will always be 
Things that will chip away we 
At our prayers .
We may not have time to pray some days .
There will always be idleness 
That will wear us down 
And chip away and chip away 
As we try to pray little by little .
The Lord hears our prayers
And he touches our lives .
Walk with the lord 
And do not get weary .
Oh the little things that will always 
Be in our memories 
Like the beauty of the warmth of the sunshine ,
The fall colors , the slow rain that comes down 
And the little snowflakes that come down in winter
And the memories of being with friends 
And sharing their smile .
He has the strength to answer our prayers
So let us never stop praying .
                                             I Love You All

Some day you will be my age.
I just got a jump on you
That is all.
Some day you will feel the air 
That I will breathe today.
You can live with failure
But not with regret.
You can not take on every fight.
Life like time always keeps changing.
Some day you will lose me
But we will always be together.
I pray you will never
Go through what I have gone through
Hope is always with us forever.
I hope you smile once a day
Because I sure try my best.
To my grandson 
Who I will always love,
Take one day at a time
For life is too short.
