Premium Member You Are Significant!

We've all been crushed at being chosen last for a childhood game,
Feeling that our awkwardness and ineptitude were to blame.
We've all struggled to be loved and accepted by our peers.
At times feeling we don't matter is one of our greatest fears!

From the moment you "entered stage right" on this troubled earth,
The Creator considered you so significant and of priceless worth!
He delights in you, His exquisite and unique Masterpiece!
He is very fond of you - His love and care will never cease!

Etch upon your heart this phrase, "I'm accepted and significant!"
You are the apple of His eye - to Him no one is insignificant!
Even tho' He takes note of mere sparrows when they fall,
You are of much more value than a flock of sparrows, after all!

Tho' you may not be asked to dance and endure humiliation,
Perhaps 'twould be best to brook with grace your frustration.
Ever keep in mind when you feel left out and harassed,
That one day the last shall be first and the first shall be last!

When you feel meaningless and life doesn't always treat you fair,
Reach deep within your soul, call on Him and never despair.
Tho' some may try to kill the spirit, they cannot kill the soul!
Fear not, for He is ever nigh to encourage and console!

Spare Change

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
A pocket full of change
Cast into a well of hopes
For wishes we exchange

Some will wish to find true love
Others for fame and wealth
The young may wish for a longer life
While the old wish for health

Friends may wish to ease the pain
Of a loved one fallen ill
Or when the road gets rough
They wish for strength and will

A few may ask for selfless things
Like cures and world peace
To stop the violence in our streets
And all the suffering to cease

But today I toss without a wish
My money you have tendered
It’s just my way of saying thanks
For all the wishes rendered

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters
Lobbed into a wishing well
Such a simple, yet sacred place
For hopes and dreams to dwell
