A TRIBUTE POEM TO JOHN JOHN

A WALK THROUGH LIFE

Do not sit back and dream of rainbows.
You only see them with sunshine and rain.
It does not happen that often,
and your dream has turned to pain.

Have a true goal you can follow,
You'll see the rainbow fade away.
But life truly must be lived,
with reality day after day.

To pursue any goal in line
We must take endevours one at a time,
One person can not do it all,
Do not be left behind.

You can't reach the stars God,
if you don't want to try.
Yet I gaze upon them each night
and in prayer I truly sigh.

Now make each day a dream.
Your line is reality too.
You can truly share the rainbow,
Your future does depend on you.

WITH LOVE ACROSS THE MILES

Please share with me the blessings
on this Thanksgiving day.
Please hold me close and let me know
that you are not far away.
Yes, I will share your dinner,
I know I'm truly there.
Reliving all the years gone by,
and all the love we share.

Now Honey let us bow our heads,
in quiet silent prayer.
Despite the miles between us,
You know the love is there.
Yes God, I am so thankful,
We have this love to share.
Thank God, He gave us Grace,
within our hearts to share.

Let my children feel my love,
each and every day.
and know the love I hold for them
will never fade away.
Oh yes we must be thankful.
holding such true love,
Thank God he gave it to us
by His power from above.

Thanksgiving Day for me,
is to know we will never part.
Because I held each one of you
deep within my heart.
Now let us all be thankful,
on tis, a special day.
May we truly count our Blessings
in our own special way

My special prayer today,
I dedicate to you.
I pray God will Bless and
keep you in everything you do.
On this very special day,
All my love to you I send.
to you my precious daughter,
to you my dearest friend.

THE FUTURE'S MINE

Life is not easy when you are a teen.
I know at this age you're just in between.
It's hard to take orders from parents I'm sure,
but your parents are making your future secure.

They don't want to see you out in the night.
They cry together when you don't do right.
Your future is before you and oh how proud
I am of you, and I said it out loud.

You're very outstanding in my book of love.
And I pray God will guide you wth His hand from above.
I pray He will hold you and keep you so safe.
that no friend can make your morals erase.

Politely stand back a say only to you,
I don't need to do what other teens do.
You have a future because we all care,
When you don't do it right, your sorrow we share.

But as you grow older, what can we do,
your entire future belongs to you.
Now at my age I'm still not complete,
I listen to my elders so I can compete.

Somehow their wisdomall of these years
has helped me conquer all of my fears.
Honey, it's a miracle, and not a fault,
to finally wake up and know we're adult.

How do we cope with such a bad dream?
From wisdom we learned, just being a teen.
All of mankind should live by some rules.
And those who ignore them are ignorant fools.

The road to your future is paved by your hand.
Parents can't live it, you must understand.
Their job is soon over, then it's all up to you,
to work for your future as all adults do.

Parents don't owe you, not even a dime.
They paid their debt over, time after time.
Now it's your turn to pick up the tab,
and thank God for the caring parents you had.

You'll leave all those childhood thoughts behind,
and say "Thank You God...The Future's Mine".
My hands are now ready to pave my own way,
as long as your with me, day after day.

WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?

A Grandparent is a person who has worked all their lives, just to do our best through sorrow and strife . A Grandparent raises her family with love,
And truly takes time to thank God up above.

A Grandparent is one who spent all her years,
taking care of her family and sharing their fears.
A Grandparent is a person who kneels down by her son, and says, "Lord, My job has just begun".

A Grandparent is one who gives from the heart,
and truly prays love will never depart.
A Grandparent is so many things,
if God named them over all the Angels would sing.

Grandparents are people who learned long ago,
To treat people right where ever you go.
Grandparents are people who grow older each day,
But still have the time to help friends and pray!

Most Grandparents are truly like me,
Wishing each day we were still thirty three.
But God has his own clock and it's ticking away,
To my Grandchildren I truly must say.

Where ever I am, where ever I go,
I pray God will let you all know.
I love you all dearly and hold you close in my heart A love so strong it will never depart.
