God bless you all.


(Stop and Smell the roses)

Stop and smell the roses,
an expression often heard.
But do you know the meaning,
behind these expressed words.
Stop, slow down, take a minute,
take time out just for you.
To enjoy life and all its thrills,
before your life is through.
The simple things in life are there,
before your very eyes.
The problem is you must take time,
to smell roses in your life.



(Dream come true)

She stands in splendid royal dress,
the earth around so sweetly pressed.
Sweet music for her ears to hear,
bird melodies around her near.
Magnolia tree to shade her top,
when summer days are just too hot.
A gentle breeze to bring her rain,
to clean her sides and window panes.
Inside her heart a family grows,
the good and bad memories she knows.
she keeps them warm on winter days,
and gives them shelter when it rains.
she is a dream come true to them,
and they shall love her to the end.



(SUN SCHOOL TEACHERS)

GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS,
IS WHAT OUR LORD COMMANDS.
HE PUT HIS BLESSED CHILDREN,
IN YOUR FAITHFUL HANDS.
HE TEACHES YOU TO SHINE,
TO LET HIS LIGHT COME FORTH.
SO PLEASE ACCEPT THIS ANGEL,
AND IN IT FIND COMFORT.
PLACE THIS ANGEL ON YOUR TREE,
AND KNOW THAT WE GIVE THANKS.
FOR ALL GOOD TEACHERS SUCH AS YOU,
WHO GO TO SUCH GREAT LENGTHS.
AS YOU SIT AND WATCH THE LIGHT,
THAT SHINES SO PURE AND TRUE.
KNOW THAT GOD IS SHINING,
ALL HIS LIGHT THROUGH YOU.

Winifred Duffey died 1954. (I miss you Grandma)

I shall never touch your hand, I shall never see your face.
I shall never know your person, your feelings,nor your grace.
Disaster hit you hard, decision you did make.
You took your own life, to spare family from your fate.
Cancer in your stomach, how scared you must have been.
Three children and a husband, did you think of them?
I'm sure you sat in wonder, how would my children be?
Then you thought of Raymond, stronger in life was he.
I'm sure a prayer you said, that God would bless them all.
You probably said dear Lord, please accept my soul.
Many years have past, a grandchild writes this poem.
I sit and watch your greatgrand children, play our in the yard.
Your children were well taken, grandpa a good man.
And your prayer was answered, your family's in God's hands.
Your hand i'll never touch, your face i'll never see.
Yet you still live on, in all your family.


Kathy and Sheila

Our friendship means the world to me.
Our friendship is a true blessing!

Memories of cold winter days.
Walking on ice slip-slinding away.

Spring filled days down by the creek.
Walks picking wild flowers that we see.

Picnics, sharing nature's bliss.
Nothing in life is better then this.

Warm lilac summers, smell so sweet.
Your grandmother's apples i loved to eat.

Fall has the pleasure of crazy 8's club.
Memories of friendship, these I love.

Donna(Gone oct 1, 1998)
I have to let this go, I have to let this out.
I hope my words can show, my feelings, not my doubt.
I saw death today, I stared deep in its face.
I did not see pain per say, last breath was slow and paced.
Knowing that our God was near, not a fear I had.
But in the face of family's fear, this did make me sad.
Please God take her was the prayer,and fast the answer given.
Last breath was taken no despair, her spirit's now in heaven.
A vision still deep in my mind, as if it were the day.
I wish these feelings were behind, no words I had to say.
Now my heart does ache with pain, with loved ones gone from Earth.
But joy is found here still the same, in all memories of her.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

A world of anger murder and sin,
the meaning of life is found within.

To find this meaning one must look deep,
some look a life time and never see.

You search for peace, wealth and fame,
but happiness you do not gain.

You think it's found in worldly things,
pain is all thats found in these.

The answer I give, take this to heart,
where this answer is found I will not part.

tis' found in God the Father, his Son,
the Holy Spirit three in one.

The answer is found in the bible for thee,
to serve God is the answer, but can you see?


PASTOR
Small to some he must seem,
but small to me he'll never be.
He stand so tall with book in hand,
never faulters in his stand.
Like David stood with faith so strong,
so does this man of God hold strong.
Hold strong dear man with all your might,
For Jesus Christ has won the fight.
The fight of life it shall go on,
till life does end, or earth is gone.
Till all the saints are in the sky,
and songs of praise are heard on high.
To back you there are Three in One,
Father, Spirit, and His Son.
So little you shall never be,
For by your side there's Trinity.

Amen

10 years

Ten years it's been for you and I,
and I can truly say.
I love you more this very day,
no word could ever say.
The good, the bad, we've seen it all,
but never did we fail.
For God was with us through it all,
and allways we prevail.
I've felt the pain, I've seen the love,
I know deep down inside.
We'll be together all our life,
through all this earthly strife.
For God did say "who's put together,
let no man ever part."
And I can say "we'll be together
forever, never apart."

A child's smile
A child's smile doth melt the soul,
can make you think of years ago.
When you were young,
and felt the joy of something simple as a toy.
The youth that's past, you miss when old,
and wonder where the years did go.
You sit and watch the children play,
and wonder, will there come a day?
A day when smiles fill the heart,
and happiness is all about?
A day when not a care you have,
and nothing in the world is sad?
A child's smile is pure as love,
and surely comes from up above.



Elderly
If one could see the story told,
in the eyes of one who's old.
You might see a person there,
who is stonger than a bear.
Or maybe one you could see,
is gentle as the ocean breeze.
But some are weak and scared inside,
all they want to do is die.
For life to them is not so long,
all they had in life is gone.
Memories are all that's left,
these memories can be a test.
A test of time, a test of fate,
and through the test life doesn't wait.
What can we do when all get old,
and all in life does unfold?
We look to heaven with all our hope,
for love and faith will take us home.




Friends
A friend does fill a part,
a part that's missing in the heart.
For friends can share all good and bad,
and cheer each other up when sad.
A friend to me is always there,
and with each other always shares.
Share memories and dreams we hold,
the ones that we have never told.
I pray to God my friends He keep,
and when salvation we can meet.
Meet each other in the skies,
for with God friends never die.



Florida sunshine/my favorite Florida day
It is a day that's cool and gray,
to open doors and watch the rain.
The swamp does dance with raindrop drums,
the sound of nature's cool clear hum.
The fern so green, as green can be,
and cypress tall as tall can see.
Fall it is, the time did change,
and fall is in the air the same.
Air so hot when summer's here,
air so cool when fall is near.
Not like the North that's fierce and deep,
but as a wind that flows and creeps.
So soft in fall the rain does sound,
as it hits the sandy ground.




Counselor
Do you know the help you gave,
to this person, lost but saved?
You gave me hope in life to see,
that there is more in life for me.
You helped me see I'm in control,
and the past can't hurt no more.
You've shown me strength deep in my soul,
it was lost but is no more.
I pray you see your need in life,
you've helped so many in great strife.
I pray for you God's blessings more,
and pray to see you at His door.
Thank you God, counselors you give,
so we see hope in life to live.



The kiss
Twas on my cheek the month of May,
was the left cheek that very day.
So warm I felt that kiss for hours,
so warm I can't explain the power.
This kiss was soothing and flowed within,
how to explain and where to begin.
A simple thing I try to say,
but a simple kiss it was in no way.
For the kiss was put in the very spot,
for the kiss you see my husband was not.
The kiss was put there by another,
the kiss was put there by my father.
The kiss by my father was better than candy,
this one little kiss was better than brandy.
For my father is stern and not one to show,
the way that the feelings inside of him flow.
If only one knew how I needed that kiss,
the kiss of my father I do so miss.
For the kiss you see was needed that day,
the kiss of love no words could say.
I will feel that kiss forever you see,
for that one little kiss is inside of me.




Lacy
Sometimes it's hard to say such words,
that rhyme and flow like all words should.
I'll try to write one just for you,
for everything I write is true.
Your face mean strength and love to me,
your eyes as pretty as can be.
Skin so soft as cotton picked,
and smiles sweet as candy sticks.
And miss you yes I do each day,
"Wish she was hear," I always say.
But you are not, we're miles apart,
and sometimes yes it breaks my heart.
One needs the other in life you see,
and for each other we will be.
To help each other when times get tough,
to be there when our life gets rough.
'Til time does stop and stars do fall,
'til life does end and we are called.
I am for you and you for me,
your sister for all eternity.



A grandaughter's prayer
Did you feel my prayer last night?
I asked the Lord to hold you tight.
And did you feel the kiss I sent,
upon your cheek is where it went.
I asked, "Dear God guard and protect,
keep them from danger where they're at.
Bless them with blessings from above,
show them your mercy and your love.
Give grace, peace and love each day,
and words of Wisdom that you say.
And let them feel you, always there,
in times of trouble and despair.
In times of joy please let them see,
that by their side you'll always be.
Dear Lord, I pray before I sleep,
for you my grandma and grandpa to keep. Amen"



We the children
We the children see pain it brings,
when parents use such awful things.
Drugs and drinking kill the soul,
make parents into deep dark foes.
Don't they see the pain in these,
the children of abuse they leave?
Alone we face this world of ours,
healing wounds but leaving scars.
The scars so deep, can you believe,
in every child of one of these?
But with pain comes learning, learning hope,
to shows us ways in which to cope.
To overcome the worldly ways,
with joy that these we've not became.



Nature
Natures pure and gentle kiss,
its only found in natures bliss.
Beauty that the eye can see,
in something simple as a tree.
In the clouds, up in the sky,
happiness just floating by.
A flower that is all alone,
sits in splender on its thrown.
A creek with flowing river smells,
the sounds of roaring river swells.
A gentle breeze does touch a cheek,
a peace in nature that i seek.
A fingers touch from up above,
shows our lords most tender love.



Lord God

Lord God heavenly Father,
you know there is none other.
People lie, steal and kill,
the Lord just does His will.
So many people in the world don't believe,
so many people that satan decieves.
People don't realize when death does come,
the will of our Heavenly Father is done.
So you have a chance in life right now,
if you dont know what to do this is how.
Repent and be baptized from this very day,
for you know in your heart its thee only true way.
Don't wait forever for the time is near,
when the unbeliever will see his worst fear.
Jesus for all people did die,
for your salvation it is no lie.
My dear friends i want you to know,
that Jesus is the only true way to go.
Last i tell you the bible is true,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost to.




"Panic"

From calm to histerics in the blink of an eye,
room starts to spin one looses the mind.

ones breathing is short the chest gasp for air,
the trouble with panic the air is not there.

Ones chest starts to hurt the heart beets so fast,
the breaths that one takes feels like the last.

With-in 60 seconds it's over it's past,
the trouble with panic is it comes as it left.


"Glenna"

Although it seems like no one cares,
in this dark world of dispare.
When we are down and feeling blue,
Jesus is right there for you.

Although the dark days come and go,
and your spirit loses glow.
After all pain each day you bare,
Jesus is right there to share.

Although there seems like no way out,
and your faith has so much dought.
Which makes you want to end your life,
remember Jesus paid the price.

Although in life we see so much,
we need remember in God we trust.
To help us through these trialed years,
to take away all our fears.

Although a friend is sometimes lost,
or a mate is sometimes cross.
In prayer you go right to the thrown,
and know that you are not alone.

Although we fail in much we do,
Jesus is right there for you.
he forgives and sets you free,
and gives you sweet eternity.
