Did You?

Did you help when someone needed you?

Go that extra mile?

Did you do what you should do

To turn their tears into smiles?

Did you lighten someone’s heavy load?

Chase their blues away?

Did you smooth out their bumpy road?

Bring sunshine to their day?

Did you love someone’s hurts away?

Erase their trouubled minds?

Did you heal their broken heart someway?

Or was compassion hard to find?

Did you do what was asked of you?

No matter what the cost?

Did you save a soul from hell today?

Search for the one that was lost?

Did you do what Christ would do?

Whoever Leads

Beauty for ashes

Brings the promise

Good follows bad

Like flowers on weeds

Lily pond’s rain

And sunshine mornings

Life’s simple needs

Matter to everyone

Love over hate

Joy dried tears

New faces old creeds

With thoughts beyond time

Tomorrow grows up

Taught by whoever leads.

We Will See

Will everything be all right?

Silence cries into the night

Weeping for what used to be

Now no more than a memory

Will everything be all right?

We will see says the night.

The Very Best Me

With my heart in my hand

I offer to you

The best that I am

The worse that I’ll be

I’ll not promise a thing

That I can’t keep

But with all of my being

My soul and my mind

I do promise to love you

For the rest of time

I’ll make mistakes

As you will see

Cry a tear or two

This is me!

I’ll proabably get mad

I sometimes do

When things go wrong

Or I get blue

When I can’t be strong

I’ll leave it to you

To be patient and kind

You’ll know what to do

Just hold me close

Show me you care

In your own special way

Always be there

And in no time at all

With our love we will see

The very best me

I was created to be! (9-11-2006) Read at our wedding November 10, 2006

Standing in Line

Standing in line

Out here in the cold

Waiting to see You

Of whom I’ve been told

I hear You are my Savior

I hear You are my Lord

So, I am standing in line

Out here in the cold.

Standing in line

With a child’s broken heart

Prayng to see You

To get a new start

I hear You are so wonderful

I hear You are so true

So I am standing in line

What else can I do?

Standing in line

With tears in my soul

Seeking to find You

Of whom I’ve been told

I hear You will forgive me

I hear I’ll be whole

So I’m standing in line

Out here in the cold.

Now the door is open

And I’m going through

With out-stretched arms

I am drawn to You

No longer crying

I know that You are mine

I have found my Jesus

At the end of the line.

Thank You!

To my Father on this special day

I want to say in a simple way

How in my heart, I truly feel

He’s always been there, and He always will

He gives me courage to face my fears

Gives me joy after the tears

He is forever here to comfort me

Removes the darkness so I can see

He sends me strength to keep on trying

Holds me up when I feel like crying

He brings me laughter after I’m sad

Carries my troubles, no matter how bad

He gives me patience, makes me slow down

Shows me the wonders of life all around

Takes me ever so gently by the hand

Tells me He loves me as only He can

So I would like to say to my Father above

Thank You, Father God, for Your guidance and love

Thank You for sending us Your precious Son

The glorious Redeemer and Savior for everyone.

Beloved Friends

When time takes us down

The trail of life

It does not ask

For directions

God chooses the path

We meet eternal blessings

And earthly hardships

Along the way

See many a beautiful thing

Encounter the saddness

Of broken hearts

As we travel on

Beholding the miracles

That only faith an bring

We see that within

The mountain’s height

And the valley’s depth

Are the precious wonders

That we call our

Beloved friends.
