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.

Build A Better World

Buddy is so excited, to tell everyone.
He's going to the library, to have some fun.
He discovered a place, where you can always find.
A variety of books, that will captivate your mind.
Buddy is on hand, for the summer read.
He's looking for books, he's going to need.
With so much to choose, he couldn't pick just one.
He picked out twenty and he wasn't done.
Buddy found a awesome book, on a spine tingling tale.
A non-fiction book, about a mammoth whale.
He read a tearful story on a long lost dog.
And a fact filled book, on a slimy little frog.
BUILD A BETTER WORLD, is the summer reading plan.
So visit your local library and sign-up when you can.
Bring along all your friends and take a good look.
There's a great selection, so check out a book. 

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"

Smile

Smile at your mailman, smile at the cook.

Smile at your neighbor, don't just look.

Smile at your teachers, at your school.

Show everyone that smiling is cool.

Smile at the barber, smile at your kin.

Smile at the painter, don't hold it in.

Share your smile, who are close to thee

Show your smile, for everyone to see.

Smile at the gardener, say a little hi.

Smile at the doctor, don't be shy.

Share your smile, like the morning sun.

Show the whole world, how it's done.

So walk to the park or any other place.

You can put a smile, on everyone's face.

So take a little stroll and say hello.

And share your smile, wherever you go.

Let's Be Happy

It's not fun to be pouty,

I rather be silly.

It's not fun to be grumpy,

it's better to be funny.

It's not fun to be crabby,

I like to be zany.

It's not fun to be grouchy,

I rather be happy.

It's not fun to be gloomy,

it's better to be cheery.

It's not fun to be angry,

I like to be friendly.

I don't want to miss,

 a life full of bliss.

So no more feeling moody,

I am going to be HAPPY.

Love vs. Hate

Jim grabbed his brother from behind 

and wrestled him to the floor.

"Give it back!" Jim shouted.

"What's going on?" their mother shouted.

Their father walked in and

separated the two boys.

"Will you boys ever stop fighting?"

The parents decided their boys will 

spend a weekend with Grandpa.

Jim and Tim followed Grandpa to the car.

"Where are we going?" Jim asked Grandpa.

"We're going to visit the zoo," Grandpa announced.

They stopped near a large gated fence,

where the lions roamed the field.

Grandpa sat both boys down,

and proceeded to tell them a story.

There were two lions that fought over everything.

One lion was full of anger

and the other lion was full of love.

"Which lion do you think will win

this fight?" Grandpa asked the boys.

The two brothers looked at each other,

and shook their heads. "we don't know."

"The one you feed," Grandpa replied.

Grandpa leaned over and whispered to them.

"The same fight is going inside of you."

"Which one do you feed?"

Let's Get Fit

So are you ready to get fit?

Do you have the time to commit?

Exercise is easy, it can be done.

It's a work out and it's really fun.

If you stumble now and then.

Just get back up and start again.

Choose one exercise that suits you.

There is so much that you can do.

Aerobics, ballet and dance too.

Even a treadmill to name a few.

Go for a jog or get on a bike.

Play some tennis or go on a hike.

You don't have to run a race.

You can go at your own pace.

Stretch a little bit, followed by a swim.

You can use weights to stay trim.

So head to the gym and kick up your feet. 

You can do this with rhythm and beat.

They tell you it's healthy and fun.

Whether you walk, jog or run.

You can exercise an hour each day.

Bring along a friend and start today.

No more excuses, it's time to commit.

Set yourself a goal and just do it!
