In the Winter

In the winter, when it snows,
I always have cold hands and toes.
How many weeks? It's around 10
Until Spring can come again.

Bear

Big and furry,

Not in a hurry,

Walking slowly but surely

A grizzly bear.

Never Alone

I seem to find myself alone
In dark and dreadful days.
I am never alone, this I have known,
That God is my sunshine rays.

God is always with me;
I know this to be true.
I now will try to be,
Oh Father, just like you.

Oh Father, send the Holy Ghost
To tell me how to be.
Oh Father, please stay close,
So I can be like Thee.

She just kept adding and coming up with more stanzas.

The next three were added the first part of 2016.

The second to last stanza was added for our neighbor, Bill, in Dec. 2016.

With friends and family near

To God I will ever plea

For parents that always hear

Like God I’ll always be

At times I try to fly alone

Until I start to fall.

I’ll never make it to His throne

Until I start to call.

At times I feel discouraged

And think I cannot be

A person who has courage.

Oh, Father, please help me

Because I know He cares

Christ will heal you.

His love can reach you anywhere

As long as you be true.

Oh, Father, of us all,
Help me to stand tall.
Oh, Father, up above,
Please help me feel Thy love.

Jesus Christ

At night before I go to sleep
I think of a person I want to meet.
Jesus Christ, the holy one,
God the Father's perfect Son.
The crown of thorns placed upon his head,
remember what He hath said,
"Father forgive them for they know now what they do."
How does this apply to you?

The Journey of a Seed

Once you push a seed
Deep into the ground,
Down there it will be
Nicely safe and sound.

With water and with sun
Your plant now has leaves.
It's journey's just begun,
It will become a tree.

Faith is like this seed.
With help, they both can grow.
Giv'n the nurture that they need,
There is more we'll know.

by Emily

She wrote this and emailed it to Grammy for Valentine's Day. She had the first two stanzas written a while ago but just finished with the third a week ago.

Unnamed

There is a problem I do see -
That is tax without representation
is when you lose your tea
without compensation.

Weed

If we will weed for half an hour every day,
Eventually all the weeds will go away.

by Marissa

(We like the idea of having a garden and try hard to get one going, but then we loose the battle because of the weeds. We just need to be more diligent.)
