Denise Girod Poems

Our Son the Soldier
How great a man he must be
To be joined in the fight to
set another part of the world free
...

Your Freedom he fights for you to keep
So you will be safe while you sleep

You condem him for being wrong
...

Friendship is like a flower
full of faith and power

If nourishment is not right
...

My sister and brother grew up without their dad
though they wouldn't admit it, I knew it made them sad
Our mom always did the best that she could
for she knew he was out of their lives for good
...

Troubles come and troubles go
some just seem to stay and grow

A broken heart, a troubled past
...

To Mary and her Superman Cole

There he is, a little boy safe at home,
playing in the dirt or throwing the dog a bone.
...

How often do you say Thank You every day?
Do you find it awkward to express yourself that way?
Do you know what a kind thank you to someone would mean,
or is it a thank you from you is definitly unseen
...

Praise the Lord with all your heart
open up and let Him in
Praise the Lord with all your heart
seek forgiveness of your sin
...

I would walk for miles
to see one of your smiles
I would walk through rain
to see you with no pain
...

How grand would it be
to live completely happy and free
to know that tomorrow will always appear
with all who you love and hold very dear
...
