Walking Along The Road

Walking along the road one day, I saw a butterfly pass my way,
It's lovely pretty wings stretched out, I was hoping it'd stay;
It made me think of What the Lord had made years ago,
The colors of creation on his wings, was such a show.

Walking along the beach on summer's night,
As the sun was setting, the colors a delight;
From reds, to orange, blues then a purple to black,
It reminded me of creation, these colors came back.

As I slowly walked through the zoo one morn,
And saw the animals, a new elephant was born;
I admired all the sizes and shape of each one,
It reminded me of creation, when the work was done.

As I was walking past the cemetery and saw a cross,
I stopped to look at it, and remembered the loss,
The loss for a mother, and the disciples too,
And thank my Good Lord, for His great love so true.

Pray For Them

Pray for them, in this storm that's so wide,
Hurricane sandy, With a huge incoming tide;
For those in Washington, New York and elsewhere,
This is our humble caring pleading prayer.

Pray for those who'll be without a home,
Also those old and young, who live on their own;
Be with those helping, the police, and emergency crew,
Provide the workers with every hammer nail and screw.

Pray for those who are injured, and the Doctors too,
For the nurses, and ambulance officers, coz care is what they do;
Pray for the animals and birds, they're suffering as well,
Help them find safety, To you in my prayer, their needs I tell.

Lord we pray for each church folk, across that land,
That. They wil be safe and praying, for Your Hand;
Only You Lord, know why this has come about,
So I know You'll answer, And knock the fierceness out.

What is Grace?

What is Grace, what it does mean, what is it all about?

Well let me see if I can explain, I don't need to shout;

It's a special type of Gift, given with love,

When Jesus came to die, sent from Heaven above.

Take each letter and put a word, in exchange,

Then you'll get the answer I will rearrange;

It's the answer to the reason why Christ died for us,

It tells in one word the story, of the gift of the cross.

G is for God's, our loving heavenly Father,

Daniel was a man,

Daniel was a man of Prayer, he prayed 3 timesa day,

And he trusted in the Lord, and as a servant of God he did obey;

One time there were others jealous, and didn't like him,

These were evil men, who did wrong and lived in sin.

Daniel was a Man of Faith, on God he could rely,

When told not to Pray, His God he couldnt deny;

And then the king was forced, by some evil men,

To send for Daniel, and throw him in the Lions den.

Daniel was a man of Trust, when in the Lions den,

Ouch That Really Hurt

Ouch that really hurt, When I fell the other night,
From my bed down to the floor, it must've been a funny sight;
Strewn about, arms and legs, Each in a different direction,
But what a shame I can't take, painkilling medication.

Ouch that really hurt, The way you spoke to me,
But most of all that did hurt, you said you loved me;
Another thing you really hurt, is that you can't be trusted,
You've changed, towards me, and yet blaming me you must.

Ouch that really hurt, The way you bullied me,
Its not fair, what you do, oh can't you see;
To force yourself, to push me around, please oh why,
When I go home, I feel the hurt makes me cry.

Ouch that really hurt, The harassment I get,
Because I may be different, it sure makes me upset,
Why can't you look inside my heart, it's the same as you,
Just treat me please as your equal, that's what you must do.

Sunshine Of My Life

Firstly, I want to say, Christ is the Sunshine of my life,
When I'm down, or in trouble, he gets me out of strife;
When ever I'm upset, He brings Joy to surround me,
Yes! Christ certainly is the light of life, is what I do see.

Second, Missy is the next sunshine, of my day,
The way my pug does things, the way she does play;
She gets into mischief, but to get my attention,
But loves to stir Prince, her mate and companion.

Lastly My dog prince is a joy in my life. It's true,
My little Maltese, is a caring old dog too;
He is a gentleman dog, waits for me at the door,
Till I go through, then follows me, to him it's no chore.

No! I don't want life any other way, no change for me,
Christ uplifts me, and goes with me, every hour, you see;
Missy and Prince, are two caring pet pals, who stay by,
If ever I'm in too much pain, they all help when I need to cry.

Tell me a story,

Tell me a story, And what I want to hear,

About a king in the Bible, of Saul and his spear;

He wanted to kill David, but David spared his life,

While Saul was asleep, David took the jug, spear, to show

Saul that he was near.

Please tell me a story, Of Esther the Jewish queen,

And of uncle mordecai, and Haman who was mean;

Wicked Haman hated, the Jews, and wanted them dead,

But he got his punishment, to be hung by his head.

Christian soldier

The Christian Soldier,

The Christian soldier goes to fight, a war on evil, every day and night,

Fighting for what the Lord God says. Is only right, with all their might;

They fight the enemy, for peace and truth, yet they are so brave,

And Jesus showed why we go, when He died our souls to save.

The Christian soldier has his armor, his breast plate, and His helmet too,

Then comes feet shod with the preparation of peace, this is True

Truth and Mercy are on the soldiers side, for the enemies destruction,

And with it comes the sword of God, and we're safe under Gods redemption.

We Saw The Star

We saw the star said the shepherds, on the hills that night,

Grazing with their sheep, when suddenly they got a fright;

Because all of a sudden, in the sky, a star shone so bright,

There was also angels singing, with a heavenly light.

We have seen the Star, said the Wisemen, from afar,

And knew the message meant, they had to follow a star;

To come from the east on their camels, to meet the king,

Bearing the Gold, Frankinsense and Mhyrr, they did bring.

We see the Star, on the top of the Christmas tree,

My Funny Talk

My funny talk it gets me laughing much, each day,
when I try to talk, the words don't come right anyway;
The words are all mixed up, with words jumbled too,
like! getting jelly beans from my throat, oh phew.

My funny talk, I hope, won't get me in trouble,
cause sometimes the sentences are all in a muddle;
like saying I was in the piddle, instead of in the middle,
and I wanted to say fiddle as in violin, I said I played the biddle.

Yes! I can laugh at these things, I know I'm getting old,
But that's what life brings along, that's what I am told;
Life brings so many trials and funny things as well,
I wouldn't change a thing, my mind rings like a well, I mean Bell.

See the more I try to say a sentence, it ends in a stew,
to make life complicated, does it happen also to you?
But maybe I just make these things go down in a verse or 2,
and end in a funny poem, so it can be read by you.
