Precious memories live in my heart each day Being stored in the vault of love where they stay The precious ones always bring a tear to my eye These memories are often of a loved one who has died Precious is an endearing term sent from God on high Memories that flood my soul with many emotions which fly Memories of Mother and Dad in their happier times of life Memories of playful and joyful times with my dear wife Time marched on my feelings become less strong God planned it that way, that I may carry on God is perfect in everything he does It is for me to listen following His Love January 29, 2023 Mark Waldrop
There are not many who will have my front and back Most fade away. After a short time, even losing track Being the only one who will stay with me all the way God my maker from above, will forever stay He is in front of me as well as in the rear Looking over me, constantly feeling him so near Giving me peace of mind and peace in my heart Knowing that from me, He will never depart January 29, 2023 Mark Waldrop
If my journey is my destination, when will I arrive Heaven, not being at the end of my life beginning when I arrived I am in heaven when Jesus comes into my life Trials continue in this world with much less strife God is lighting my path to show me the way Fewer worries at the end of the long day Thank you, God, for placing me in your divine plan Walking with me daily, striving to do the best that I can Winning my hard-fought race here on earth, drawing me nearer to my heavenly birth Enduring the sorrows and pains making it all worthwhile Feeling Jesus' Glorious Love and beholding His loving smile January 29, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Ever been a coach? Trying to get others to excel. By teaching them perseverance, they will do well The person you are coaching holds the illusive key Without desire from the mind and heart, they will never see A good coach seeks the desire of the heart first Finding that the mind and body will never thirst A word of encouragement will go a long way Reaching the distant goal at the end of the day Never never, never give up is what a successful coach will say Traveling this path will produce the desired prize not far away Through time sweat, and tears that may have come my way All being worth the effort to enjoy the completeness I feel today January 29, 2023 Mark Waldrop

The past should teach me an invaluable lesson The memories of which I do not have to make a confession Not being ashamed of whence I came Being my transformation that I proudly claim My past is my heritage leaving my mark on earth This will genuinely tell a common man’s great worth Learning from my past and moving ahead Trying to make fewer mistakes before I'm dead January 27, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Do you see a lonely beggar on the street He is not there of his own accord Being unable to control the cards dealt to him, he sees no reward I passed him by with a sorrowful sigh Not willing to give him a helping hand I have a feeling of great remorse. I do not understand Now Jesus is in my heart; he has opened my eyes to see The blessing of helping others brings a great blessing to me God’s joy I feel within can't be explained Not being given from above to be contained Being the hands and feet of Jesus while here on earth No possible way to explain this incredible worth Thank you, God, Thank you, God, for forgiving me Eternal life and forever setting me free January 26, 2023 Mark Waldrop
