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

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.
I saw a bird sitting in a tree
Chirping and praising God with glee
It flew off
I know not where
One thing for sure
I know it’s still chirping and praising God there
I saw a bird sitting in a tree
Chirping and praising God with glee
It flew off
I know not where
One thing for sure I know it’s still singing
and praising God there

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
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
Politics is a funny thing
No matter what party
Everyone is right all the time
Even if it seems to be a crime
Corruption seems to be the norm
Even when they try to reform
Will, it ever change
Probably not
For integrity, they have not

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
I was going along my merry way
Leaving the store and driving away
I saw a man beside the road
He had a sign that read
Please help my family I have no food
I backed up the car and gave him a 20
Only in hopes that would be plenty
As I drove away I heard him say with a smile
God Bless you and your family I pray
I felt love dwell up in my heart
I began to cry and heard Jesus say
Thank you for what you have done for Me
And my Father today
Fire Fighter EMTs are a resourceful lot
They show up Johnny on the spot
No waste of time accessing the situation
Their training provides much-needed information
They kneel by your side to ease the pain
They show compassion even in the rain
Their not angels they say
But GOD put them here anyway
Love flows from their hands to you
Just like JESUS would do
So the next time you see them in action
Say a little prayer that GOD may help them
Complete their task with much satisfaction
