 Standing
on a mountain high Watching silently as the world goes by Everything appearing so serene and peaceful from atop this mountain so high Turning my eyes toward the sky I thought for sure I heard a cry Love your brother,and your sister were the words I heard on high Feeling a tiny raindrop now gently raining upon my face Thought I saw briefly the sad little face of an Angel with a tear rolling down her face Instantly I knew what the words were and I myself felt the pain of this tiny Angel The message then so clear, as to why we are here Love your brother Love your sister Let us all take our turn carrying the load For when we love, and have faith mix it with some hope we find charity..I accept you my sister I accept you my brother No load to heavy..No mountain to steep Knowing you are there by my side Eyes still gazing into the Heavens I now see a little Angel blowing me kisses The message to me was so clear My understanding..wiped away her tears No matter what the load She isn't heavy..she's my sister He isn't heavy..he's my brother I'm right there at your side My Brother..My Sister
The Carpenter Shop
I wish I had been His apprentice, To see Him each morning at seven, As He tossed His gray tunic about Him, The Master of earth and of heaven; When He lifted the lid of His work chest And opened His carpenter's kit, And looked at His chisels and augers, And took the bright tools out of it; When He gazed at the rising sun tinting The dew on the opening flowers, And He smiled as he thought of His Father Whose love floods this fair world of ours; When He fastened the apron about Him, And put on His working man's cap, And grasped the smooth haft of His hammer To give the bent woodwork a tap, Saying, "Lad, let us finish this ox yoke, The farmer must finish his crop. Oh, I wish I had been His apprentice And worked in the Nazareth shop.
Aspiration
Let me be first to praise For whom I meet in these few years May influence all their days. Let me not fix a yoke upon the soul within a man, But rather lift the fetters from His spirit if I can. Let me be late to claim my due so other folk may live; Let me be last to chide or blame And first one to forgive. Let me be last at weaving thorns Into a painful crown; But first to find one curcified And gently take him down
I Wish
I wish I could have seen His face All radiant that Easter morn A great light shining on His brow That had been pierced by many a thorn. I wish I could have seen His smile, After the darkness and the gloom, When Mary kissed His garment's hem In wonder by the open tomb. I wish I could have heard Him speak There in the April garden when He walked among the lilies and Proclaimed eternal life for men. But wishing is in vain, I know So I must be content to see The miracle recurring in Each blossomed bud and leaf and tree There is a warm assurance, too, That of His love I am a part, And that His resurrection lives Forever in my heart.
A Garden
With trees and plants a bloom; Where lilies grow and roses twine To waft their sweet perfume. A garden is a happy place Where little children play; Where songbirds sing their hearts out In joyous roundelay. A garden is a restful place Where one may go in peace;
And in the quiet solitude,
With its gates swung open wide
In kindly invitation
To worship there inside.
Oh, God is in a garden
More than any place I know,
To bless the heart and soul of those
Who, seeking Him, will go
Families
Along the quiet street, See houses large and houses small Where happy families meet. The light from windows polished clean Shines golden on the grass, They seem to beam a welcome warm To any who may pass. The mother in her rocking chair Still sings her child to sleep, While father reads the daily news As children round him creep. The smoke from chimneys rises high Into the cool night air, And it seems as though the nagels come To breathe an evening prayer. We sometimes think the world's all wrong With so much talk of grief and strife, But walk with me where families meet Where happy homes hold love and life.
Seek An Angel
The way you know an angel is by your feeling. Angels may not always come when you call them, but they always come when you need them. An angel is someone who helps you believe in miracles again. Sometimes you know angels only by the miracles they have blossoming in their paths after they have gone. An angel is someone you're always happy to bump into.

For Parents
make their peace with spilled milk and with mud, for of such is the kingdom of childhood. Blessed is the parent who engages not in the comparison of his child with others, for precious unto each is the rhythm of his own growth. Blessed are the fathers and mothers who have learned laughter, for it is the music of the child's world. Blessed and wise are those parents who understand the goodness of time, for they make it not a sword that kills growth but a shield to protect. Blessed and mature are they who without anger can say no, for comforting to the child is the security of firm decisions. Blessed is the gift of consistency, for it is heart's ease in childhood. Blessed are they who accept the awkwardness of growth, for they are aware of the constant perilous choice between marred furnishings and damaged personalities. Blessed are the teachable, for knowledge brings understanding, and understanding brings love. Blessed are the men and women who in the midst of the unpromising mundane, give love, for they bestow the greatest of all gifts to each other, to their children, and-in an everwidening circle-to their fellow men.
I Walk With God
In the fresh new light of dawn, While dewdrops kissed the flowers, And caressed my greening lawn. I walked with God in the noonday, Neath the welcoming shade of pine, And paused to speak my love, In this quiet temple shrine. I walked with God in the evening To a spot where troubles cease, And found in the reverent hush, A calm and tranquil peace.
Catch A Rainbow
And share with you it's beauty On the days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own. A place to find serenity A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea. But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me, I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be...what I know best, A friend that's always there.
The Best Memory
As soon as you have done it. Forget the praise that falls to you, The moment you have won it. Forget the slander that you hear, Before you can repeat it. Foget each slight, each spite, each sneer, Wherever you may meet it. Remember every kindness done to you, Whatever its measure. Remember praise by others won, And pass it on with pleasure. Remember every promise made, And keep it to the letter. Remember those who lend you aid, And be a grateful debtor. Remember all the happiness that Came your way in living. Forget each worry and distress, Be hopeful and forgiving. Remember good, remember truth, Remember heaven's above you. And you will find through age and youth, That many hearts will love you.
Memories Are Golden
We never wanted memories We only wanted You. A million times we needed you; A million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly; In death, we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place No one could ever fill!
Helen To Amy
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.. It't not like the cord that connects us 'til birth. This cord can't be seen By anyone on Earth. This cord does its work right from the start. It binds us together. Attached to my Heart. I know that it's there, Though no one can see The invisible cord From my child and me. The strength of this cord is hard to describe. It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied. It's stronger than any cord Man could create. It withstands the test. Can hold any weight. And though you are gone, Though you're not here with me, The cord is still there but no one can see. It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore, but this cord is my lifeline, As never before. I am thankful that God connects us this way A Mother and Child Death can't take it away
Faith
With trees and flowers abloom, Despite the cold and stormy blast And winter's death-like gloom. Tis faith which sees in midnight's hour A glimpse of dawning day, And finds the rainbow's promise sure Behind the clouds of gray. But greater far that glorious faith Which sees beyond all strife, The Saviour's matchless love which leads On through Eternal Life..
Going Home
I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you all the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now.... He set me free.
We Soldiers
In freedom to breathe eternally free, Then time stopped with a senseless tragedy. Enangered we said, how can that be? As Amy's sweet spirit to heavens blissful shore wings A Celestial choir of angels in welcoming sings. God give us strength to see thine holy purpose As we join arm-in-arm To prevent this tragedy from others bringing harm. Bowing our heads we pray for strength Give us thine guidance to go to any length To make this world a safer place to be For sweet, angelic girls like our Amy.
Hugs
That always warms the heart; It welcomes us back home And makes it easier to part. A hug's a way to share the joy And sad times we go through, Or just a way for friends to say hey I like you 'cause you're you. Hugs are meant for anyone For whom we really care, from your grandma to your neighbor, Or a cuddly teddy bear. A hug is an amazing thing it's just the perfect way To show the love we're feeling But can't find the words to say. It's funny how a little hug Makes everyone feel good; In every place and language, It's always understood. And hugs don't need new equipment, Special batteries or parts Just open up your arms And open up your hearts.
Dear God
to our Loved One up above.. Tell them how much We Miss them.. and give them All Our "Love". They bid no one a last farewell, they said "Good-Bye" to none! The Heavenly Gate just opened wide, and a loving voice said "COME"! Although their souls are now at rest, and free from care and pain, The World would seem like Heaven, If we had them back again.. It broke our hearts to lose them, but they did not go alone, for a part of us went with them, ,p> The day God called them home! Precious ones from us are gone, Voices we loved are stilled, Chairs are vacant in this home, Which never can be filled. God gave us strength to face it, The courgage to meet the blow, But what it has meant to lose them, "No One Will Ever Know"!
