My Best Friend

Many things come to mind,

when I think of you.

An angel you are,

beautiful and friendly too.

A rare precious jewel,

who greets me with her smile.

Plus a caring heart,

that makes my life worthwhile.

My mind is filled with joy,

that you may not see.

Only God knows,

how much you mean to me.

The angels in heaven,

witnessed it firsthand.

When God blessed me,

with my best friend.

Please Help Me

Sometimes I just want to pray.

Not knowing what to say.

Except the tears I want to cry.

And for you to be at my side.

Sometimes I just want to pray.

With the words I want to say.

The moment I want to see.

When you're there to hold me.

Sometimes I just want to pray.

With the words I need to say.

For you to answer this plea.

The words of please help me.

Let's Make Them Smile

Let's take a walk, across the street.

Cheer them up, when you meet.

Wear a smile, like the morning sun.

Show the whole world, how it's done.

Then wave your hand in the air.

Show the people everywhere.

That you are there to say Hi.

And smile, when you're passing by.

Lend a hand, whenever you can.

Treat them all, like a friend.

You will find, it's really true.

It's the right thing to do. 

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.
