Poems that send darts🎯to touch our hearts❤️
I’ve had towers and I’ve had beams
Nothing better than the old dipole it seems
I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor
What’s most important is being a doer
Earthly things will just fade away
Then our body we’ll be just like clay
But our soul will live on thats for sure
Will it be in Heaven. Will it be in Hell
That’s for only you to decide
Where your future will dwell
The only road to Heaven I’m told
Is through GOD’S SON who died on the Cross for you and me
Well I know this is true for I accepted him.
And now PRAISE GOD HE LIVES WITHIN ME !!!

In the silence, you can hear His voice a bird, the wind, the rain
He speaks to us every day so very plain
If we listen closely
HIS LOVE will always come through
Lifting our hearts Praising HIS NAME
We feel HIS LOVE SO TRUE
He is always continually watching
Over Me and You

GOD just gave me these words from the first line of a post on Facebook
When all around you seem to be falling apart
People taking sides is not very smart
When everyone is right and no one wrong
This divides the Country with an untuned song
United we Stand divided we fall
That should be our battle call
All these things shall pass away
Only GOD’S Love will stay
In all the turmoil we see
Keep Praising GOD in the Highest with Joyful Glee
Only GOD knows what the future holds
His Infinite Wisdom is Above our Goals
In the end, when life is Spun
All Earthly things will matter none
Only what’s done for CHRIST will Last
From us, that’s all HE asked

The embalming room is a strange topic of conversation.
Many hours of toil will bring much perspiration.
Proficiency in training is required to accomplish such a task.
How do l make them look so lifelike? The family would ask.
There is a skill to everything I’ve been told.
The compliments of the family are worth more than gold.
With all the bad things that can come the embalmer's way,
a whole lot of patience and a little water go a long way.
The embalmer is a combination
surgeon and artist, I must say.
I am working extremely hard while keeping my emotions at bay.
It takes a particular person with a Devine calling to succeed in this field.
After many hours of service, numerous rewards I will yield.
I am satisfied with the accomplishments that I cannot measure.
I can only feel it in my heart, which brings great pleasure.

Inspired by Cheryl VanAtta
Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, Bedford, Virginia
Having Peace within
Is worth more than riches and gold
It is something GOD gives his children
Through JESUS I know
When storms swirl about
Look to Jesus with no doubt
When you are anxious
With nowhere to turn
Take a deep breath
And let JESUS return
When peace comes to you
Bow your head and say
GOD thank you today
Our love for JESUS grows every day
He loves us more even when we stray
When we think we’re lost and no end in sight
That’s when JESUS shows us the light
When happiness comes our way and we don’t understand
That’s when Jesus shows us his helping hand
As our Love grows day by day
He walks with us closer along the way
The day will come when we’re tired and weary
We will hear JESUS say
Come and spend eternity with me today
I’m just a common Man who loves God
Not knowing what lies ahead where I trod
Their may be trials and troubles
Their may be Happiness untold
Their may be riches and gold
It matters not what’s down the road
Because I pray to God each day
He’s standing by my side
Walking with me all the way
As I approach the Home Shore
I feel Peace within
Because I know My Jesus
Will be there to take me in
hat the Old Rugged Cross means to me
When I Bowed Down before it
It gave me complete Liberty
The Cross itself has no power at all
It’s the Dripping Blood of JESUS that tells it all
GOD sent his ONLY SON
to show his Great Love for you and me
HE died on the Cross to Set Us Free
All we have to do is ask for forgiveness of our sins
He will walk with us and Guide Our Way
He will not fail us in any way
In the Good times and the Bad
He will carry us through
Because his Love is so True
When our Journey comes to an end
He will lift us to HIS FATHER
Who will be our Closest Friend
I like Baseball
Needless to say
Not much to it
Just hit the ball and run away
Today was different
I had much more fun
I stepped up to the Plate of Life
Strike One
I heard my Coach Jesus say
Be patient my son
And you will be on your way
Strike two
I thought the game was over
I felt all alone
I was nervous and doubtful
I could never do it on my own
Then I heard the Coach say
Swing at the next one
And see what happens today
It was as if the Coach had taken the bat in his own hands
It was a home run directly in the stands
The crowd cheered
My heart swelled with pride
He said don’t run
No one can count you out
I’ll always be by your side
As The Sands of time
Come and go
We must stand strong
And March on to what we know
Difficulties will come and go
We will grow stronger for everyone we endure
With JESUS by our side
Or Faith will grow to be so pure
When the of time comes
He will hold our hand
As we cross into that Heavenly Land
