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.
...

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
...

He knew when he was a boy
that racing was his game
As he got better in his car
They knew he wouldn't be easy to tame
...

Have you ever looked out across the land
At all the wonders we have been given
And realized how beautiful and grand
This wonderful place we live in
...
