ANXIOUS 

One day I was most Anxious about everything
I was Anxious about the dog 
I was Anxious about the cat

I was Anxious about my spouse
I was Anxious about the House

I was Anxious about my children
I was Anxious about my bank account 

Then I remembered The Sermon On The Mount
It took my anxieties away

And I found Peace within
When God’s love poured through me again

Php 4:6  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

A Friend named Tom K4LID

Tom Lykins K4LID Louia Kentucky
I have a friend named Tom
He always seems so calm

He has Great Faith in God
That’s why he knows which path to trod

No matter when you see or hear him
He’s always the same

He has a remarkable memory
He never forgets a name

Even though he has many difficulties in life
He never shows any strife 

I hope he remains my friend till I die
Then we will be with God in the sky

 We would play in the yard

When Jesus was young we would play in the yard 
We would run and play so very hard

He would look at the birds and say those are mine
They would fly around him all the time

We would go down by the brook and rest in the shade
He would say. Look at all the things my father has made

I did not understand.  We were just kids playing every day

We grew older. He said he had to go. 
Something about his Father’s business 
I do not know

Then one day I heard they had Crucified Him
It hurt my heart so

He was such a nice boy. I couldn’t understand why they would kill this man

I went to the garden to tend to the flowers
There stood a man I did not know
It scared me at first. Then I hear him say

Don’t you remember me? 
Look at all the things my Father has made for me

I feel at his feet
And cried dear Jesus I love you so

We talked for awhile 
And then he had to go
Something about his Father’s Business 
I did not know

But now I feel whole and have love within 
Because Jesus came to visit again. 

Me and Jesus were just like that 

I was on the way to a game one day
I felt my life fading away

The faster he drove
The more I prayed 

I thought for sure
We were going to end up in the grave

By the time we got there
My knuckles were white

I could barely stand up
Out of fright 

I turned to Jesus
He heard me say
Thank you, Lord, for being with me today 

Gizmo’s Adventures 

My name is Gizmo
I took a little trip

It was starting to rain
And I began to slip

I fell to the ground
And did a flip

I ran and ran as fast as I could
But it came to no good

I was lost, hungry and frightened 
Then I heard Mama say
You will be ok

I found a nice home with dogs inside 
I went through the pet door
And I cried

They wrapped me in a blanket
And kept me warm
And out of the storm

They called my Parents immediately 
I was so relieved 
For them to see

When they got there
I jumped into my Mama’s arms
I said I’m sorry 
I meant no harm

Memories 

Life is like a vapor
Coming apart in your hands

People won’t remember what you do or say
They will only remember how you make them feel 

That’s why Memories 
Seem so very real

As days go by and we grow older
Our memories grow fonder

Only to realize in the very end
They will always be with us in the wild blue yonder
