Visit The Zoo

The alarm goes off and up comes the sun.

It's time to get ready, to have some fun.

You get out of bed and what do you do?

You go on a trip, to visit the zoo.

You walk past the gate and what do you see?

The tiger is on the prowl and a lemur is on the tree.

You look at the elephants and the meerkats too.

You see the black bear and the flamingos in view.

Koalas are pretty cute and the baboon is on the go.

Sea lions are swimming and the turtles are slow.

You spy on the gator and the gorilla is on the grass.

You stare at the snake and the fish behind the glass.

Zebra makes you dizzy and the rhinos sitting down.

Monkey is with a baby and the lion is wearing a frown.

You spot a wild leopard and the lizard is on the ground.

You find a gray goat and the cougar is running around.

The cheetah can go fast and the jackals can run.

The pumas on the move and the otters are having fun.

You follow the weasel and the big horn sheep.

You come across a fox and the panda is asleep.

You watch the penguins walk and all the birds fly.

You notice a kangaroo and the bats are hanging high.

Hippo's in the water and the giraffe is really tall.

Ostrich is eating and there's a pony in the stall.

You seen all the animals, in your visit at the zoo.

We hope you had fun and learned something new.

It's time to go home, we love to see you again.

We hope you come back and bring along a friend.

Thoughts To Ponder (Part three)

1)    Kind words do not cost much.
  Yet they accomplish much.
2)    You're free to make your own choices.
But you will never be free of the
consequences of your choices.
3)   Good people don't put others down.
They lift them up.
4)    To the world you are one person.
But to one person, you may be the world.
5)      No act of kindness, no matter how small,
is ever wasted.
6)    It's not whether you get knocked down,
it's whether you get up.
7)    Trust in the Lord and do good,
wait patiently for him.
8)   Look unto Jesus, the author and
finisher of our faith.
9)   Rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus for you.
10)   It's not what happens to you,
but how you react that matters.
11)    The testing of your faith produces patience.
12) Finally, brethren, whatever things are honest,
mediate on these things.

Memories Of My Dad

For all the walks, chats and pierogi we made.

For Bingo, Probe and other games we played.

For all the songs we sang and the times we prayed.

I HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU.

Trips to the park, festivals and visits to the zoo.

For the times at the library and Sundays at church too.

For all the special holidays I spent with you.

I HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU.

We watched TV together and played connect four.

Outings at the party and shopping at a store.

We dug up a garden and so much more.

I HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU.

READING IS FUN!

Seek GOD

My day is filled, 

with trial and error.

My mind is cluttered, 

with burdens I bear.

My heart is troubled, 

when no one cares.

So then my soul, 

seeks God who's there.

My day goes by, 

with so much stress.

My mind is looking, 

for peace and rest.

My heart is weary 

and hurting too.

So then my soul, 

calls out to you.

YOU HEALED MY HEART 

AND CLEANSED MY SOUL.

YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH 

AND MADE ME WHOLE. 

YOU SENT YOUR SPIRIT, 

TO GUIDE ME THROUGH.

YOU SHOW YOUR LOVE, 

IN ALL YOU DO.

My day looks bad 

and I'm feeling down.

My mind is lost, 

from pacing around.

My heart beats fast, 

in face of fear.

So then my soul, 

seeks God who's near.

The time has come, 

where it's hard to cope.

My mind is searching, 

where there is hope.

My heart does ache, 

for perfect love.

So then my soul, 

seeks God above.

YOU HEALED MY HEART 

AND CLEANSED MY SOUL.

YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH 

AND MADE ME WHOLE.

YOU SENT YOUR SPIRIT, 

TO GUIDE ME THROUGH.

YOU SHOW YOUR LOVE, 

IN ALL YOU DO.

Poem 4 MOMS

She brings you hope,
in place of fear.
She brings you light,
to make it clear.
She shows you love,
with praise and cheers.
She lifts your heart,
and wipes the tears.
She makes you laugh,
when you're feeling sad.
She cares for you,
when life looks bad.
With a loving heart,
and a caring smile.
She makes you feel,
its all worthwhile. 
In times of trouble,
she comes to you.
She calms you down,
and helps you through.
So whatever you need,
you will always find.
You have a mother,
who is helpful and kind.

Second Chance

I could have been your friend,
but I treated you so bad.
Now I am so ashamed,
I was so angry and mad.
I could have been your friend,
if I treated you like one.
I realize, I was wrong,
I'm sorry, for what I have done.
If only, I had another chance,
I would treat you so good.
I would shower you with love,
the way I should.
I could have been your friend,
and helped you too.
I wish, I had a second chance,
I would be nice to you.

REMINDER

Forgiveness doesn't change the past.

But enlarges the future.

A Ticket To Smile

Life can be so much fun.

If you know how it's done.

You can do this part.

If you open up your heart.

So if you really know how.

You can do this now.

Put a smile on your face.

Every time you go some place.

Share it to everyone you know.

Then your gloomy day will go.

So when your smile comes out.

There can be no doubt.

When you do this one thing.

It will make your heart sing.

Put your fears to rest.

Make you feel the best.

Ballad of Jimmy D

He left his mom and dad, to live on his own.

He found no joy, to be all alone.

He looked for a job and he found something good.

But all he wanted, was a new livelihood.

Jimmy's coming home, Jimmy's coming home.

So say a big hello, to the boy I know.

He left his special friends, without saying goodbye.

He left his lovely home, with tears in his eyes.

He wanted new friends, he could always give a hand.

He wished for those, who would always understand.

Jimmy's coming home, Jimmy's coming home.

So say a big hello, to the boy I know.

He left all his friends, who helped him along the way.

He wished, he said thanks, before he left that day.

He dreams of coming home, to his mom and dad.

And see all the friends, he once proudly had.

Jimmy's coming home, Jimmy's coming home.

So say a big hello, to the boy I know.

A Clever Grocer ?

Charlie owns a grocery store.

He put up a sign on the window.

Tomatoes 25 cents a piece

or three for a dollar.

The first customer walked in and complained.

"It's not fair!" the young lady declared.

"I should get four tomatoes for a dollar."

Charlie apologized and provided the customer

four tomatoes for a dollar.

The second customer stepped inside the store.

He made a big fuss about the sign.

"Your sign can't be right!" he said.

"It should be four tomatoes, instead of three."

Charlie agreed with the old man.

He sold him four tomatoes for a dollar.

Charlie's friend, Ben stood near by.

He heard both customers complaint.

Ben pulled Charlie aside.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Ben asked.

"You should correct the window sign."

"What mistake?" Charlie asked.

"Before the sign was up," Charlie said.

"Customers bought only one tomato"
