Little Ones

Little ones, Little ones
Faces so sweet
Oh how I want to squeeze your cute cheeks
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I care
About all the little things in your life we share
These are the times 
I've been dreaming of
Days when, as your grandma, 
I can give you such love
Bunnies and Teddies
Wet baby kisses
What a delight
What a sweet day of BLISS is!

Comfort

One day something happened
And I knew I had to pray.
So, slowly I got down on my knees
And found the words to say.
Father! Oh, my Father!
I'm glad you're always near.
To give me your direction.
To whisper in my ear.
To love me like no other.
To let me know you care.
To share with me the good times
And help me with the bad.
I feel you all around me
In the sunshine and the rain
I hear you when the bird sing
And when the silence came.
Thank you for your caring.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for always being there.
And sending me your dove.
For now your Dove lives in me-
FOREVER... IT WILL DWELL
Within my heart and body
TO TELL ME "ALL IS WELL".

The Decision

The other day you made a decision
You told me you had to go!
What was the reason you made this decision
My heart will NEVER  know!
Was it "Your love of this country?"
And how there are freedoms galore.
Or was it the man on the newscast
Talking about the WAR?
Whatever the reason you did this
Whatever the reason you're gone
Please know how "Proud" I am of you
For all the things that you've done.
For America stands for Freedom
Courage and Dignity too.
Without "YOU" fighting for us
What would ALL of us do?
Just remember WE stand behind you!
To YOUR COUNTRY you must be true!

So for now, I need to tell you
How very much you mean to me!
For without you there would be NO FREEDOM
In this land of the BRAVE AND THE FREE.
So remember we ALWAYS HONOR
"THE SOLDIER INSIDE OF YOU!!!"

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Peacemakers

We are adults, or so we are told
So why is this, OUR WORLD, so cold.
War is threatening
Children are crying
Families are solemn
So much "Goodbying"
Why can't we stop this nonsense called "War" ?
Sit down and talk...NO closing of doors
After all, we're all human
All formed by our MAKER
I'm sure "HE" would want us all be "PEACEMAKERS"!
Think of the children
Our future, at least
And pray that ALL WAR will one day cease!!

Lessons From the Carousel

One day there was a Carousel
A "Special One" of course!
That taught "this" pretty little girl
A lesson! Of a sort!

The Carousel was so Beautiful!
Unique in everyway!
With horses going round and round
All while the music played!

But there was something different
About this Carousel
It had a "challenge with it!
Of which, I now will tell!

You see it had a wooden arm
that extended to its riders
To let them reach out gingerly,
A "SILVER RING" to acquire!!

For many years, I was too 
small to even reach the "RING"!
But, Dad just kept  telling me-
The "Silver Ring" you must "Desire"!

Everytime I rode it,
I tried a little harder.
To reach the "RING"
out of my reach....
Thank Goodness for my Father!

Then! One day! "I DID IT!"
I HAD A "SILVER RING"!
It trully was so wonderful
And to it I did CLING!

My Dad he looked so Proud of me!
And I was Proud of him!
He was the one who helped me get-
THAT "PRECIOUS" SILVER RING!

Now, he's gone!
But, I know now...
The lesson this has taught!

As I sat up upon that horse
And for "THAT RING" I fought!

You see, in life there are some things 
That are JUST OUT OF YOUR REACH!
If  you, with strength, just "HOLD ON TIGHT"
YOU'LL GET THAT "SILVER RING"!!

THE "RING" IS ALL OUR HOPES AND DREAMS.
THE THINGS WE MOST "DESIRE"!
SO HOLD ON TIGHT!
AND DON'T LET GO!
AND "YOUR RING"  YOU WILL ACQUIRE!

DEDICATED TO MY FATHER: FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT HE GIVE ME 
IN LIFE!!!

The Carousel

There was close-by a SPECIAL PLACE!
I'd go to as a child.

It looked a lot like a circus tent...
But, it was MORE than that- INSIDE!!

For as you entered, Its domain,
What a wonder you would see!

Horses on a Carousel!
A CAROUSEL MADE FOR "ME"!!!!

Round and round and round
You'd go!
With lights and mirrors bright! 
And to a little girl like me,
You were and "Awesome" sight!

I'd pick a horse to ride on,
The prettiest I could find!
And get myself up on it,
And ride you for a time!!

I never will forget the days,
I rode that CAROUSEL!

You'll always be a part of me!
IN MY HEART YOU WILL ALWAYS DWELL!!

You made me feel so "SPECIAL"
As I rode you round and round!
So "SPECIAL"  that I almost felt,
like I was wearing a CROWN!!

Today, you are no longer there-
They have taken you away!

BUT! soon, I hear, 
you'll once again-

GIVE SOMEONE ELSE....
A SPECIAL RIDE!!!
(MAYBE MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!!)

DEDICATED TO: THE NUNLEY' S CAROUSEL ( OF YEARS AGO ) IN BALDWIN, 
LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK." THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF 
MY PAST!! " LINDA

Trials

"TRIALS" are sure to come your way
Don't let them steal your "joy" away!
Keep your Faith"
Stand up tall! 
In no time they will be gone for sure!

For "TRIALS" are just lessons,
In life we  have to learn.
If you can struggle through them,
Then a great "GIFT" you will have earned!

And after they are over,
And look back in "retrospect"
We will see just how "good" it 
was for us.
And how it was for our BEST!!
