Poems that send darts🎯to touch our hearts❤️

The old farmhouse didn’t seem much at the time.
I was just growing up. Paying most attention to mealtime.
Making memories was just a thing we did.
Just living life, having fun just being a kid.
Going to church every time the doors were swung open.
That’s where the Gospel of His word was spoken.
Memories of Christmases, from days gone by.
Today those memories bring a tear to my eye.
Now it’s my turn to do what my parents did.
Making loving memories with my kid.
Share what GOD has given you
This is HIS perfect plan for you
If you continue to keep what you have
No more will be sent while you live
It’s a true blessing to give to others
That’s what brings love to your brothers
GODS flowing love only continues
When you give it away again and again
This is what brings
True love from within

There’s a River of water that flows through me
It’s Crystal Clear bringing LOVE and Humility
It fills me up with JESUS' warmth and LOVE
Guiding me every day with a hand from above
The further I go the more I see
How GODS HAND is guiding me
Thank you, LORD, for sending this everlasting love
Flowing through the Crystal Clear River from above
I had an old boxer named Joy
I loved to feed her
And watch her play with her toy
We would run and play
And be exhausted
At the end of the day
She loved to sleep beside my bed
I felt protected
From toe to head
We both grew older
She could no longer stand
I had to let her go
To be in God’s hand

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16-16
The weaker we get the stronger we become.
The nearer we draw to GOD on HIS THROAN.
Have you ever lived on a farm and rendered lard
It’s a hot messy job that's done in the yard
First comes the fire, then the cast iron kettle
Throw in the fat right in the dab gum middle
Skim off that old lard and let it get hard
Remove the cracklings do not discard
Take the lard inside and give to your Grannie
She’s gona make some hoe cakes for sweet little Annie
Annie gona jump up and run all around
She’s gona skip to the Holler shoutin Hoe Cakes y’all come on down

Do you find yourself hanging on by a thread
For the most part, do you feel about half dead
Look in the mirror and what do you see
Look at yourself and what is ahead for me
In great despair with a frown on your face
Is there any hope for happiness in any place
The answer is not far away from you
It’s helping others instead of helping you

I’m a little sparrow
His eye is always on me
I can’t read
But that’s what they tell me
I know it’s true what they say
I can feel him around me every day
I feed my children in the nest
I feel so very blest
One day when my children leave the nest
They will do their very best
His eye will be on them all the day
He will watch over them the entire way
I know this to be true
Because HE Watches over Me and You
Feed all the people a wonderful meal
Then to be self-sufficient we should feel
Having a meal without toil we desire
Our existence requires something higher
To sustain life we need more than a meal
We need a burning desire in our lives to feel
Spreading of the WORD Is our Goal in Life
Not to succumb to the mountains of strife
