I got a call just the other day
that really, 'blew my mind'.
I will share the story with you so,
a moral you may find.
...
When I was a child in the hills of West Virginia,
Christmas was a special time of year.
Long lost loved ones gathered at Grandmas.
Those from far away and those near.
...
I don’t think that I ask for much
I don’t believe it’s greed.
...
Why should it be that family
would be the cause of pain to me?
Those the closest that I know;
would deal this painful blow?
...
I gaze at the picture an I see;
that he was her darling boy.
At first it seemed very sad to me;
but then I see signs of joy.
...
I live in the midst of Amish country.
Their wares for sale on signs I see.
Quilts, maple syrup, eggs and many things.
Some sell rockers and pretty porch swings.
...
Old things have passed away behold;
all things have been made new.
Words Jesus spoke to all of us
including me and you.
...
Another, casualty of war.
The face’s, wear an empty look.
Old eye’s that do not meet your gaze.
Scars that cannot be miss-took.
...
Your Mommie, and I both prayed for a girl,
We believed, that so it would be,
So with confidence, in your being a girl,
We named you, Eden Marie,
...
I once watched a lady struggle with her groceries.
She could not see the curb nor the dangers.
I reached out to help her she drew away saying,
' I'm not depending on the kindness of strangers.'
