Suffering

Do you suffer a little every day ?

Do you every say the word why

And why me ?

Will I be able to handle

What is overwhelming me ?

I was told that suffering

Will produce endurance

And endurance produces

Character and character

Produces hope

So I will start today

With hope and a prayer .

Mother's Day

I 'll never retire from being a mom and a grandma .

Because of the kids ,

My creativity stays sharp even at my age .

I sometimes feel like a history museum .

Being a mom and now a grandma

I feel less like a luge race

And more like a sleigh ride .

Someday I will find silence and solitude

Because I am a mom and a grandma .

God And Me

A God wise enough to create me

And the world I live in is wise enough

To watch out for me .

I will sow the seeds in spring

And God will produce the harvest .

I will keep moving

Forward after every bad day .

I will hold my peace

And trust in God .

I believe , I have some God given talent

I will do my best , pray

And leave the rest to God .

Spinning

Are you spinning out of control

Once in a while ?

Your not spinning like a ballerina .

When you are spinning out of control ,

You must keep returning your eyes 

To a given point to maintain your balance 

Or you will fall down again and again .

Your circumstances are in flex 

And your world seems to be whirling 

Around and twirling around 

And you keep falling down 

Because you gaze to long 

At your circumstances .

You will keep being dizzy and confused .

Be courageous stop and refresh yourself 

And rest and believe in God 

And pray for help .

To get you back up right with the world 

Get your ears cleaned out and spend 

Some quiet time and listen to God .

Your My Best Friend

Friends help propel joy and happiness .

You see your friends not your differences .

Friends share building blocks .

Friends put puzzles together .

Friends play all the games of live together .

Friends will listen and understand one another .

To measure a friend's love

Is love without measure .

Just Words

The words of others

Can wound us deeply .

It is sometimes impossible

For us to get through a day

Without being snubbed

Or ignored or just put down

In some way .

Sometimes you do it yourself .

Some people will talk smack

Like by bullying or threating

Or plummeting you with insults .

Your sense of self-worth

And well being has hit a low point

At your low point always remember

The love you freely receive from the Lord .

Take My Hand

Take my hand you know who I am .

Your life's path can be difficult

And it can drain your strength .

Your angel will never run away

From the rain or anything .

I want to help you with your day .

Open your shades

Let the light in

And look what you truly see .

I will always give you extra time

And a free hand

So you can be rescued

on your bad day by me .
