    About this ebook

    God gives me the words and I put them on paper. Mostly faith based poems with a lot of the author in them and a lot of God and his wisdom. Some He has inspired me to write are purely whimsical because God has a really good sense of humor.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      This poem is dedicated in loving memory of our friend Leah Dawn Hanson who was sweet and loving.

      Too Young To Die

      There must be a reason why

      That she had to die.

      Though she was so young

      Her praises could be sung.

      Oh, she was so sweet,

      The kind of kid you want to meet.

      Not too long ago we talked into the night,

      About our God and what was wrong and what was right.

      She lived her life as we all should do,

      Taking each day as it came straight through.

      Her life was not all peaches and cream,

      But oh how she could dream.

      She was shoved from pillar to post,

      With never a permanent host.

      But God saw fit to take her away

      From those who didn’t appreciate her anyway.

      She was young in age, but old in many ways.

      Seeing too much of life in her young days,

      And if I could see her face to face this is what she would say,

      "it’s okay, at least I have a permanent place to stay,

      And when your day is over and your race is won,

      You can come to see me through the Father and his Son.

      And don’t regret the things you did or did not do or say,

      For you must know that I loved you anyway!"

      Hearts Don’t Forget

      Sometimes our minds may wander

      And are bodies aren’t too fit

      But one thing you can count on

      Hearts don’t forget

      Names we can’t always remember

      Til someone mentions it

      Then we say Oh, yeah! Now I remember it.

      But the face our heart never did forget

      Names seldom come to mind

      Faces often do

      That’s when you know for sure

      Your heart felt it too

      We have a lot of memories

      But times and dates are vague

      You remember what you were doing with the face

      Cause your heart won’t let you forget

      Our minds can be like cloudy days

      When things aren’t too clear

      But once the sun comes out

      Our hearts begin to cheer

      Sometimes years go by

      Before we see someone again

      It doesn’t seem to matter much

      They are just as precious as they have always been.

      Grandpa’s Girl

      She’s the sparkle in his eye

      She’s the sun in his sky

      If he could save her life

      Then he would gladly die.

      She has captured his heart

      She was so tiny at the start

      He loved her even then

      And knew they would never part.

      It is special too

      What grandkids say and do

      They will twist you up in knots

      And don’t even have a clue.

      God help him from above

      To give you all his love

      So he can teach her well

      How you fit her life like a glove.

      When from this life he’s gone

      She’ll still know right from wrong

      And know he’s in a better place

      And sing it like a song.

      Time Goes On

      We wish our life away each day

      The weekend is what we wait for

      And no matter what we say

      Waiting is such a bore.

      Then you find the older you get

      The faster time seems to go

      We need to cherish every little bit

      Needing the time to repay what we owe.

      God has a plan that we don’t know

      So live to the fullest each minute you can

      When it comes time His plan he will show

      Then you will wish through life you hadn’t run.

      Stop and adore your maker of man
