The High Road

Be vigilant not afraid  .

There is no limit to what

You can accomplish .

When you draw near

God ,

Your mind is refreshed

And your strength is renewed .

Always take the high road .

It is the most direct route to heaven .

When you take the low road ,

There is twisting and turning

Into agonizing knots .

The air there is heavy .

Relying on your own understanding

Will weigh you down .

When you take the high road

Your path is straight

And your always going the right way .

Your Dog

He will grow closer to you

With time .

He will have more patience

Than any human .

He has bigger ears than you and I .

He will always listen

To whatever you say to him .

He likes to go fishing

And hunting with you .

He is a kind of dog

You would like to have a beer with .

He will always be at your side .

He will never talk back

Or laugh behind your back .

He knows the word compassion .

He will always have good feelings for you

No matter what you may do to him

For he knows he is all yours .

Love Each Day

I want to show you how

To spark joy in each

Task you face each day .

I want you to have patience

With yourself as you are .

When you have real doubt ,

You need to look for the light  .

I want you to keep your head held high .

An unbeliever is content with the darkness .

I always want you to be in the light .

I want you to always feel loved

And your love to impact everything

You do each day .

Love

Love is patience .

Love stimulates your brain

Like a bunch of great danes .

Love is keeping your hands

Off my cookies .

Love is never putting money

On your pillow .

Love is compassion .

Love is you .

Grandpa's Arm

When long nights are dreary

And I lay on grandpa's arm ,

I feel safe and secure .

He tells me if at first

You do not succeed

Your above average

Because you are trying .

You fear of anything

Is useless

But your faith is priceless .

Always do your best

And pray and leave

The rest to God .

Now lean on my arm

And you will be safe

And secure with me .

Don't Grow Weary

Do not grow weary and lose heart .

Do not fall into a trap of always

Being on the go .

Faith-testing time can be

Faith strengthening time .

I feel stressed and anxious .

I have pain and confusion .

I listen , I watch , I pay attention

Every day to make it through each day .

Jesus give me the wisdom

And grace I need to make my relationship

With you my highest goal and my deepest desire .

Looking Back

I'd rather look back

At my life and say

"I can't believe

I did that "

Instead of saying

I wish I did that .

I don't have to live forever .

I just have to live .

I always try to take

One more step forward .

Life leaves marks

Yes good and bad

But with each mark

I move closer

To what I want out

Of my life .
