Because Of Him

I found time because of him .

I found my love is your love .

I found time to sing

With the birds with him .

I found time to read a story

To him .

I found time to dance with him .

I found time for us to laugh .

I found time to have fun

In the sun with him .

It is always a special time

To be with him .

Your mine all mine

As grandma would sing

Just before the time to nap ,

So let me sing to you

For it is time for us to take a nap ,

For your mine all mine ,

At this time .

To Ignite

Be the first to ignite love

To ignite a smile and laughter

To ignite happiness and kindness .

Always have calmness and caring

And understanding in your heart .

Be the first to ignite fun , joy , respect

And warmth  inside you and share it

With everyone you see .

Be the first to ignite the drive

For hope and dreams .

Be the first  to ignite the drive

To just take one day at a time

Or are you going to ignite something

Special tonight  .

Oh to ignite !

Agent Of Change

How long am I to struggle ?

I was told not to be afraid

To be who I am .

Be happy but strong .

once an a while

I need to take a big step forward

Never backward .

When people say I'm not different

Or I'm not this or I'm not that and its a fact ,

Maybe they don't know me at all

Because we are all different

Yet we are all the same

In God's eyes .

For those who truly love me

Know that I'm different

And they take me for who I am .

There are days

When I have to try to just fit in ,

Some dumb people

Still exist today  .

I guess I will always struggle

With them

But I will all ways try to be happy

And strong and prove  them wrong .

I am an agent of change .

I can do almost anything  in my eyes

They will have to see

And then they may believe in me

And the Lord  like me .

As Grandpa

As grandpa, I will always

Have time for you .

As grandpa , I try to be your

Everyday expert !

Grandpa's love for you is always

On fire and that is not all .

I will always be here to listen

And to talk to you about your big things

And your little things

That are on your mind .

I want you to learn

The path of forgiveness

And peace before you get to old  !

As grandpa , I need to show love

And be able to teach you the right things

And the right way

because I am your grandpa always .

Coach Brock

A coach will test himself .

A coach educates his players .

Oh the pursuit is just part of it .

He will  invest in failure .

He will invest in success

He will invest in himself

And in his players .

The coach knows ,

When we all do the right things ,

We will hear the cheers  .

The Coach knows !

My Dad

I ask that you live

For you will always

Live within me .

I carry a rosary in your name

In my right pocket  every day .

Just like you .

You taught me more with your eyes

Than with your hands

Or with your voice

But most of all with your heart  .

I wish , I could find

More snap shots

of you and I today

That were taken in the past

Like of me sitting on your lap ,

You and I hunting and fishing

Our special way  !

You and me on your horse Tilly .

You will always live inside me .

I will never stop living my life

And you and I will keep going on

For I will always love you dad .

Thank You Grandma

There is comfort in that you

Will always be by me .

You told me I need to grow up .

You told me I am responsible

For myself .

You taught  me not to use the words

I can not ,

Not to use the word stop ,

Or the word never .

You taught  me to use the words

Yes and yes I can

And the words Lord I will pray

And the words Be happy

For life is affirmed .

I thank you grandma each day .
