My
Nephew
My
Nephew is very special.
He's loved a whole lot too...
Because my Nephew is wonderful
Because my Nephew is you.
My Mother
To one who bears
the sweetest name,
and adds luster
to the same,
long life to her,
for there's no other,
who takes the place
of my dear mother.
My Niece
My
Niece is very special.
She's loved a whole lot too...
Because my Niece is wonderful
Because my Niece is you.
My
Special Sister
I
served the cake, you poured the tea
We built a house under the tree
In grown up clothes we played all parts
Secrets told, we crossed our hearts
Through all the years, the smiles and tears
First true loves...and football cheers
I've never found a friend so true
I'll love you Sis, my whole life through.
My
Student
You're
a very special person
And you should know
How I loved being your teacher
And how fast the year did go
Please come back to visit me
As through many grades you'll grow
try hard to learn all that you can
There is oh so much to know
One thing that I tried to teach you
To last your whole life through
Is to know that you are special
Just because you are you!
Never Stop
Learning
On
This, your graduation
May all stand and cheer
To honor you for all the work
You've done to get you here
As we rise and give applause
be sure you don't forget
That learning is not over
As your future plans are met
May you always be a listener
And learn from all you meet
Always keep a student's spirit
And your life will be complete.
No One Else
No
one else has quite you're way...
of caring and sharing everyday
No one knows so well the art..
Of living and giving from the heart
Number
One Teacher
A teacher
should have
A special place
In every child's heart.
Because in this game of life,
They help them get their start.
I just want to thank you,
For all the things you've done.
You're a
very special teacher,
And to me you're number one
Not In Vain
Hope
we not in this life only.
Christ Himself has made it plain.
None who sleep in him shall perish,
And our faith is not in vain.
Not in vain our glad Hosannas;
Since we follow where he led,
Not in vain our Easter Anthem:
"Christ has risen from the dead."
Not
Growing Old
They say
that I'm growing old,
I've had them tell it time untold
In language plain and bold.
But I'm not growing old.
This frail shell in which I dwell
Is growing old I know full well,
But I am not the shell.
What if my hair is turning gray?
Gray hair is honorable they say.
What if my eyesight's growing dim?
I still can see to follow him
Who sacrificed his life for me
Upon the cross of Calvary.
What should I care if Time's old plow
Has left it's furrow on my brow?
Another house not made with hand
Awaits me in the Glory Land.
What though I falter in my walk,
What though my tongue refuses to talk?
I still can tread the narrow way,
I can still watch and praise and pray--
Now growing old!
Oh, Love
That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Oh love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths it's flow,
May richer fuller be.
One Day
After Christmas
It's
Christmastime at my house, the relatives are here.
They eat me out of house and home, and drink up all my beer.
I love the decorations, and the sleigh bells in the snow
But I wish those pesky relatives would take their kids and go.
Those cookie crunchers fed the dog a twenty pound rib roast.
His feet are sticking in the air like skinny old fence posts.
Now they're in a free-for-all, the girls against the boys.
They're fighting over boxes' cause they're bored with all their toys
My mother-in-law is snoring in my favorite TV chair.
Those kids are stringing lights on her and tinseling her hair
I oughta wake her up before the fireworks begin.
But I wanna see those blue sparks fly when they plug her in.
Out Of The
Past
Out of the
past what now I would reclaim
And know once more if such joy could be?
The brilliant deed which brought the touch of fame?
The smart investments from which profits came?
What is it that is gone, I long to see?
What is it that still haunts the soul of me?
What torches through the night of memory flame?
I would turn back not once again to know
The victories that were, nor to amend
The failures, but to meet the friend
Who
shared the struggles of the long ago;
To live the joys which had so swift an end;
The charms that only friendships can bestow.
Once In A
While
Once
in a while a friend is found,
Who's a friend from the very start...
Once in a while a friendship is made,
That really warms the heart...
Once in a while a friendship is found,
To have a lifetime through...
It really does happen
Just once in a while...
It happened to me and you!
Only For
Love
We are your
parents, and we love you so much.
Because we care so deeply for you, we will risk your love for us
in order to do the right thing for you.
Please understand,
we are not trying to limit your freedom
the rules we ask you to follow.
We are giving you guidelines for the important decisions every person
must make...
from choosing the right friends, to a reasonable hour to come home.
You may think we are too strict or demanding, but we want you to develop
the
the inner strength and character that will carry you through,
and enable you to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
We certainly make mistakes as parents, just as we did when we were
teenagers.
We pray that we.. and you... can learn from our mistakes and grow
through them.
We hope that we will not forget what it's like to be a teen, and hope
that you will
forgive us when we do.
Someday you will understand what a special joy it is for us to watch you
grow,
change and become the person we know you will be.
Our Family
Our
family is a circle
of strength and love.
With every birth and every
union the circle grows.
Every joy shared adds more love.
Every crises faced together
makes the circle stronger.
Our
Daughter
A special little girl God gave to us one day,
You were placed into our arms for us to lead the way.
The love we had for you right from the very start,
Has grown so much and now it completely fills our hearts.
Our lives had some laughter,
We've had our share of tears.
But God has given each their place,
With the passing of the years.
You stand before us now it's hard to understand,
How God has turned our little girl into a fine young
woman.
We've failed in many ways to be the parents we should be
But we can say we love you as these passing moments flee
But this on thing I remember as you open each new door.
That as much as we do love you, God still loves you
more.
My Mom
My Mom is
very special.
She's loved a whole lot too...
Because my Mom is wonderful
Because my Mom is you.
What Are Little Boys Made Of?
Boys Are
made of
Chuckles and grins,
Tousled hair and
Banged-up chins,
Things with wheels and
frogs in pockets,
Questions, baseball caps
and rockets;
They're joy and mischief,
fun and noise-
That's how it is...
boys will be boys.
God's
Most Precious Gift
Baby
was created by the hand of God above,
To give the world the sweetest touch of tenderness and love.
With the softest whisper God made baby's skin,
Then designed two trusting eyes to put the starlight in.
With giggles from a waterfall and breezes passing by,
God made a baby's laughter and a tiny, sleepy sigh.
God made the world a precious gift more dear and pure than gold,
With little toes to play with and tiny hands to hold.
He sent this brand new person on sunshine's golden beam,
All wrapped up in a rainbow of wonder, hope, and dreams.
Little
Boys
Little
boys come in all shapes and sizes,
Shy and adventurous, full of surprises,
With misshapen halos and mischievous grins,
Small dirty faces, and sweet, sticky chins.
They'll keep you so busy, and yet all the while,
Nothing can brighten the world like their smile.
And no greater treasure has brought homes more joy
Than a curious, active, and lovable boy!
Our Middle Child
You
were the second to be born
How proud we were of you
You were the answer to our prayers
A special dream come true
And from that moment forward
You have made life so much fun
You have filled our lives with happiness
And kept us on the run
And for these special memories
We have thanked the Lord above
For giving us a middle child
To hold, to raise, to love
We have cherished every moment
And we wanted you to know
You have brought real joy into our lives
And we love you so
Our
Youngest Child
You
were a tiny blessing
We could not wait to meet
A miracle from God above
To make our family complete
And oh how you were pampered
And spoiled right from the start
As the youngest of the family
Loved with all our hearts
And every day, dear youngest
From the dawn to setting sun
We've considered you a special gift
And counted memories one by one
We have cherished every moment
And we wanted you to know
You have brought real joy into our lives
And we love you so
My Guardian
Angel
Dear
Angel ever at my side,
how lovely you must be---
To leave your home in heaven,
to guard a child like me.
When I'm far away from home,
or maybe hard at play--
I know you will protect me,
from harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.
When I pray, you're praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But, when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me.
One Small
Rose
I
would rather have one small rose
From the garden of a friend
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on Earth must end.
I would rather have one pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And my life on Earth has ceased to be.
I would rather have a loving smile
I WOULD RATHER HAVE A LOVING SMILE.
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed round my casket
When this world I've bid Adieu.
Bring me all your flowers today
Whether pink, white or red:
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead.

Only One Mom
Hundreds of
stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of birds in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
My
Name Is Time
My
Name is time. I haven't always been and won't always be,
But right now I'm on the move, measuring out life.
Men wait for me, submit to me, fear me; but no one can stop me.
Except God. he is in control and He says I am running out.....
Most men couldn't care less. They think I'm on the move forever.
But I'm not. And when I stop, eternity will keep right on going.
And it will be too late---too late for repentance;
Too late for getting right with God through Jesus Christ,
His Son; too late for faith "forever" left for tears
and anguished regrets.
"Now is the day of salvation." Will it be that day for you?
My name is time and I'm on the move. I'm nearing the end.
And I'm taking you with me----into eternity.
God says, "Now is the accepted time."
My
Soul, Be On Thy Guard
My
soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard,
To draw thee from the skies.
O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
My
Son
Sticky
fingers, dirty face
Rugs and pillows out of place.
Cars and trucks here and there,
playing cowboys without care
Gold and silver I have none,
but worth millions is my son.
My
Son's Dear Wife
I
need, today, for you to know
Just what you mean to me
Even though at the first
It was hard for me to see
But now I see, as time goes by
In those special needs in life
That only you could be the one
My Son's own beautiful wife
To see the happiness you've brought
this man, my little boy
I am so very thankful
And my heart is filled with joy
As the love you have for one another
Blossoms, blossoms and grows
I see a beautiful flower garden
And you...the perfect rose
My Very
Special Parents
Mom
and Dad,
I may longer be that little child who always
Wanted another hug or minute with you
But I still miss you when we are apart
I may no longer need your hand for every step I take
But I still need your acceptance and support of everything I do.
I may not be that little child who asked
For all the things I ever wanted in the world
But that's because long ago you taught me
How to go after my dreams.
I may no longer be that little child who
Looked to you to share every hurt, smile and tear
but I still feel like that little child whenever I think of you...
I'll always love you, Mom and Dad,
With the heart of a little child
Grown to, love you only more.
No Time For
God
You've
time to build houses, and in them dwell.
And time to do business--to buy and to sell;
But none for repentance, or deep earnest prayer;
To seek salvation you've no time to spare.
You've time for earth's pleasures, for frolic and fun,
For her glittering treasures, how quickly you run;
But care not to seek the fair mansion above,
The favor
of God or the gift of his love.
You've time
to take voyages over the sea,
And time to take in the world's jubilee;
But soon your bright hopes will be lost in the gloom
Of the cold, dark river of death and the tomb.
You've time to resort to the mountain and glen;
And time to gain knowledge from books and from men;
Yet no time to search for the wisdom of God,
But what of your soul when you're under the sod?
For time will not linger when helpless you lie,
Staring death in the face, you will take time to die.
Then what of the judgment--pause, think, I implore!
For time will be lost on eternity's shore....
Old Folks
Old folks are worth a fortune, with "SILVER" in their
hair, "GOLD" in their teeth, "STONES" in
their kidneys,
"LEAD" in their feet, and "GAS" in their
stomachs.
I became a little older since I saw you last, and
a few changes have come into my life since then.
Frankly, I have become quiet a frivolous gal.
I am seeing five gentlemen every day. As soon as
I wake up, "WILL POWER" helps me get out of bed
Then
I go to see "JOHN". Then "CHARLIE HORSE"
comes along, and when he is here , he takes a lot of
time and attention. When he leaves," ARTHUR RITIS"
shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't
like to stay on one place very long, so he takes me from
"JOINT to JOINT." After a busy day, I'm really tired and
go to bed with "BEN GAY." What a life!
P. S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said at my
age, I should be thinking about the "HEREAFTER" I told
him
that I do all the time. No Matter where I am--in the parlor,
upstairs, in the kitchen, or down in the basement, I ask myself,
" Now what am I here after?"
Obedience
The man who would lift others,
must be lifted himself, and he
who would command others
must learn to obey.
Once In A Lifetime
You meet
someone so wonderful
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Your dreams all come true
And life from then on
Can be nothing but special
My once in a lifetime is you!
Oh, Thou
Who Changest Not Abide With Me
Swift to
it's close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, it's glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see:
Oh, Thou who changest not, abide with me!
Our Lips
And Ears
If you
your lips would keep from slips,
Five things observe with care:
Of whom you speak, to whom you speak,
And how and when and where.
If you your ears would save from jeers,
These things keep meekly hid:
Myself and I, and mine and my,
And how I do and did.
Our
Children Did Exist
I've
lost two children, I hear myself say,
And the person I'm talking to just turns away.
Now why did I tell them, I don't understand.
It wasn't for sympathy or to get a helping hand.
I just want them to know we've lost something dear.
I want them to know our children were here.
They left something behind which no one else can see.
They made just two people into a family.
So, if I've upset you, I'm sorry as can be.
You'll have to forgive me, I could not resist.
I just want you to know that our children did exist.
Our
Father
Our
father is loved
more and more every year
He gives me so much of himself...
he is so very dear
He's a special kind of father,
who can brighten any minute.
Because of all the thoughtfulness
and kindness he puts in it.
He's a special kind of father
who adds so much joy to living
He is always very supportive
very loving and so giving
Our
Friendship
We
have formed a friendship
That has become invaluable to me
We discuss our goals and plan our futures
We can talk about our dreams
And share our fears
We can be very serious
Or we can just have fun
We understand each other's lives
And try to encourage each other
In all that we do.
For Our
Baby
I'll
walk in the rain by your side,
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied,
I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me,
Little birds will sing along in time,
Leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you're feeling down,
To kiss away the tears when you cry,
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found,
A reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you a song of the rainbow,
A whisper of the joy that is mine,
Leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.
Our
First Child
Oh
how we planned and waited
For the moment of your birth
Of all our little miracles
You were the very first
The first to hold, to raise, to love
And fill our days with fun
From your first tooth to your first steps
We counted memories one by one
The years passed by so quickly
And soon we realized
Dear first born, you were growing up
Right before our eyes
We have cherished every moment
And we wanted you to know
You have brought real joy into our lives
And we love you so
Our Special Gift
The angels smiled when you were born
Because they surely knew
It would be a very special day
The day God sent us you
We held you and we loved you
And from the very start
We considered you a special gift
Loved with all our hearts
We have cherished every moment
And we wanted you to know
You have brought real joy into our lives
And we love you so
Only One Mother
Hundreds
of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of birds in the sunny weather
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
Place Your
Healing Touch In My Hands
Help
me as I care
for my patients today,
Be there with me,
O Lord, I pray
Make my words kind
--it means so much--
And in my hands place
Your healing touch
Let your love shine
through all that I do,
So those in need
may hear and feel you..
Old ' n 'Gold
Old
and good friends share a piece
of passion, pain, and pleasure
that no one else, no family can
begin to know or treasure.
It's as if a secret room
held their private store,
and every time they met, they could
go through some special door.
It doesn't matter if they see
each other every day,
or years and years go by before
they come and go away:
The moment that they meet it all
is there--the memories of
fierce loyalty and times of need
and gratitude and love.
Poem Of Life
Life is but
a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
One Life
One SONG can spark a
moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference
Old Noah
Old Noah
thought his ark was full
and waited for the rain..
But our house wasn't quite full yet
to us twas very plain
but now the happy time has come
we proudly show our grins
another pair has come on board
Please welcome our new twins!
