You Never Cease to Amaze Me!
You never cease to amaze me!
I know I haven’t been thinking much about you lately
I’ve been so busy, what with studying and being sick,
I didn’t think you even knew or cared about all
That I’ve been going through;
The aches and pains, the severe lack of money,
Slight disappointment verging on disillusion
On why I haven’t been able to produce anything
Other than the occasional fourteener or haiku
While enjoying the marvellous writing of so many other poets
I’m glad now I didn’t let anything worry me too much
It's funny the way it happened but
Looking back it’s easy to see that you
Were working away behind the scenes for me
I love the way you led me
To learn something new about yourself
When I thought I knew so much already
This gift was such a surprise
It still makes me smile when I think about it
And came when I least expected
But at just the right time for me to understand
That God makes 'the ordinary extraordinary'*
And uses 'the simple things to do great things'*
You never cease to amaze me God!
And may you never cease to inspire
And reveal the mystery of you to me
Through others.
by Jean McLoughlin
*Paraphrased from 'Learning from Jesus: If we feel that out lives are too simple or too boring' by Mark Frank.
Thank you for inspiring me with your wonderful words Mark!
She's pretty tough for one so small
When things get rough she stands so tall
With a bundle of Love so beautiful
Good things come in small packages
God not her farts they smell like cabbages
Or rotten little darts of poison radishes
For a life so short what she's seen
Been through lows same as me
Even grown her own branch on the family tree
As her peace gets disturbed by a little wailer
The beast who deserves her halo
My sweet little niece I Love You Laila
If you knock her down she'll buckboard bounce
In her way back up she may just pounce
If you fill her heart with Love she'll never renounce
Of all the siblings near or far
You little sister are also a star
Just don't let her near the cookie jar
She's the only little sister I have got
I'm really sorry i'd hit her and often taunt
She's the only little sister I would want!
I don't think I tell you enough Tacey
Though your heads full of "stuff" an your totally crazy
I'm so glad to be bruv, you really amaze me. Xx
This is a song that I wrote subconsciously while I was in my TA class.
Wonderin' what you're gonna do,
I'm always worrying 'bout you.
I'm not really for sure why,
I think you're really special though.
You caught my eye,
When you walked by.
When you were teasing me,
I thought I was gonna die;
Die from the laughter you were giving me.
You were pulling pranks and that made me see,
That you're full of amazing things.
Surprises, wonder, and excitement, too;
It's another reason of why I love you.
Wondering what I'm gonna do,
Thinking on how I'm gonna tell you,
That you're the loveliest person that I know.
But how to tell you, though?
You caught my attention
When you were trying to give me a lesson.
A lesson on Love,
And how you compared it to chocolate and a dove.
It's pure like the whiteness,
And sweet like the chocolate;
And ever so lovely is your touch,
I don't know how you do it.
How can you be
So beautiful and sweet,
With out even knowing it?
You just amaze me.
for my Son Frankie
The way that
you live your life
and the things that
you do and accomplish
Amazes Me- - - - - - -
It baffles my mind
how you can
be so composed
while going through
your daily existence
You are driven
by a higher force
determined, disciplined,
dedicated and devoted
to your goals and desires
Your makeup is tremendous
all while only
23 years old
You never stress,
just handle what
You have to do- - - - -
Amazing!
We're been planting seeds for ere so long
and it ne'er ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow
there's some seed would dormant lie
and let ages upon ages go on by
just when it thinks the time is right
up sprouts the shoots in glorious sight
as if to sing out loud and shout
glory be, glory be, I see the light
that's why it never ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow
the roots then take hold in sometimes
desolate and arid soils
and all the while the little green leaves above smiles
as it quenches its thirst on the morning dews
then looks up in awe at the warming sun
and still the Good Lord's work is not quite done
for that little seed then grows into a giant tree
that is why it ne'er ceases to amaze me
how the Good Lord makes them grow.

What better way to end these October days
One team did win
One took it on the chin
That's baseball, it ain't perfect but it can still amaze

You are so beautiful
And wonderful in every way
You alone are Holy
And Lord your love amazes me
You amaze me
The way You died for me Lord
You amaze me
The beauty of your fragrance
That surrounds me
Standing in your presence
J--E--S--U--S
Your love amazes me.
This poem is also a song and is now on Youtube
I could speak endlessly about your beauty,
But words would fail to capture its essence,
For it is a rarity that defies comparison,
A beauty that surpasses all pretense.
Yet, I feel compelled to write these lines,
To convey how you make everything more divine,
Your presence alone adds a touch of magic,
Making even the simplest things look fantastic.
Your beauty is beyond imagination,
A mesmerizing wonder to behold,
Every feature so delicately crafted,
A sight that never gets old.
With you, everything is more wonderful,
And life is more incredible,
You are the only reason why I loved once,
And only once, like never before, never again.
Your beauty is a gift,
A source of wonder and delight,
And I am grateful for every moment,
Spent basking in your radiant light.
The way you do the things you do, you amaze me !
When you talk the way you talk, you amaze me
When you walk the way you walk, you amaze me
When you smile the way you smile, you amaze me
When you give the way you give, you amaze me
When you love the way you love, you amaze me
When you appreciate the way you appreciate, you amaze me
The way you do the things you do, you amaze me !
Some days I totally amaze myself... but other days
Put my keys in the fridge, so questions could be raised
It's a daily crap shoot
Go outside in my birthday suit
Wifey-poo bails me out, then sets my pants ablaze
Out
of
the maze-
guided by
twists&turns of life
Abide in truth that sets you free;
Mind follows heart as soul now sings;
Allow clear proof to let you see;
Zeal primes sure start in craft you fling;
Explore the touch of ecstasy.
Align and style a poise that grows;
Live each bold stroke ever surely;
Indulge worthwhile a voice that shows;
Glimpse visual thought where rapture springs;
Note what work weaves in pact you fact.
Give play and plot a vibrant string;
Love now conceives as finesse acts;
Opt to release your sacred soul;
Wisdom and peace can seed a whole.

Since I first met you,
you have amazed me,
every time i'm with you,
you amaze me more.
Your just so amazing.
I see you approaching from a distance
and my heart leaps with joy!
The cares of the day seem to fade into oblivion,
no longer weighing on my mind.
The sun appears brighter & the birds sing more sweetly
because you are near.
You speak & my world stands still to listen,
carefully trying to catch every word.
Without even realizing, you are wonderful!!
You AMAZE me!
