Sad

When we are sad ,
We can call out to God 
And trust 
That God hears us  .
Today and everyday.
God is with us .
It is a tremendous gift ,
We can be thankful
For right now .

How Many Times

I wonder how many times 
I have .
missed God's signs 
For me after all these years .
I often pray for something 
Or for my loved ones 
And try to wait patiently 
For God's response.
But perhaps God has already 
Responded and I am just not focused 
On the right thing ,
God's response may be unexpected .
We will not always know 
How God will answer us ,
But God will answer 
Even if it is how we least expect .

Behold

When you were young  ,
,We would go to the park 
And you would get on the swings ,
And you would fly high .
As the years went by ,
I could not tolerate 
What your mother did and said about 
Me and Nana .
It all got worse as the years went by .
She has you where she wants you
And she will not let me 
See you 
Or even talk to you these days  .
When we did talk down at the park 
And you started to talk 
Everything else means less to me .
These days she is pulling 
You her way .
Your expressions tell me so much
When I get to look at  photos 
People show me of you these days .
I wish I had taken more pitchers .
I wish you could go swing today 
And swing as high as a dove 
Coming down from heaven .
You will never be overlooked 
As you fly .
I will stand behind you
And let you soar even in the dark .
Someday she will back up
And back off 
And let you swing freely .
I sure hope everyone sees
What I see .
The most important thing 
You can do for me is smile 
Some day .
Remember ,
Behold the lamb of God
Who will someday 
Take away the sins 
Of us all .

Life Time

Wherever I go 
Whatever I touch or learn or see
Or feel or do 
Will always stay with me .
I want to keep my heart open 
And my head up high 
And my hands free to pray .
I always want to smile 
And speak with love in my heart .
I always try to go with the flow .
Sometimes I wonder am I 
to blind to see 
What has been happening to me .
Oh I see there is a bend in the road 
On my journey of loving .
I will always say 
I did the best I could 
In my life time .

We Met

We met in the country  for one day ,
So we could listen to the music 
Of the country wind .
The taste of love is sweet .
We can be you and me .
Our path is free to walk along the fence .
We watched the pheasants 
Walk by and then fly freely away .
We are gentle on each other's minds .
We think alike .
It has been a beautiful 
South Dakota day for you and me .
This day has gone to fast .
.Oh the memories of holding hands 
As we walk on the bluegrass   .

Reach Out

We can always reach out for God 
Whose guidance , understanding ,
And protection 
Are always there for us .
God wants to walk with us all the time .
I hope someday my grandson 
Will take my hand in trust ,
Knowing that I love him .
We to can hold on to God ,
Trusting God's steadfast 
Love to keep us from falling .

The Key

He is the key to my memories .
I burned everything to ashes 
To forget you somehow .
Oh the dirty look on your eyes .
I have a carpet of sorrow  .
I passed you once on the street .
I could not help it if I
Am still in love with you .
You have been on my mind a long time .
You have been so cold 
That you have not changed this spring .
You are not a teenager ,
But I hope your mother 
Will set you free someday 
So you can come see me 
And there will be peace among us ..
I pray this to the Lord all the time .
