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

Check out the cover, look inside the book.

Turn the page over, take a closer look.

Read the first line, imagine what you find.

You uncover a story, that will dazzle your mind.

You find every page, a story to tell.

All about the characters and places they dwell.

This exciting new tale, begins on page one.

You soon discover, that reading is fun.

Open up a book, read the first page.

The scene will emerge, just like a stage.

You discover another world, inside this book.

The adventure begins, the moment you look.

You come across a story, where a tale is told.

You read every word and watch it unfold.

The excitement continues, beyond page one.

You experience the thrill, that reading is fun.

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.

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.
