He Wrote in the Sand 

Young Jesus came to visit this day
He just lives down the road away 

It was common for him
To come and play

Now he’s getting older
Sometimes we just sit and talk

He writes in the sand
Of things, I do not know

Always talks about his Fathers Business
So concerned he’ll do what’s right

I know when he leaves
I feel such an emptiness 

For he is such a kind and loving soul
He has made me feel whole

My Friend  walked on water 

It was a dusty day
my friend Jesus came to play

We ran and ran and played so hard
We sat down to rest in the yard 

We went down by the creek where it was cool
Only to find one deep pool  

I could not swim
I was afraid what my friend might do today

He cried look at me !  Look at me !
As he took a step on the water and walked away from me

I shouldn’t be afraid 
I’d seen him do many things I couldn’t explain

When he was near i felt love and peace
That would never cease

I will always remember those days we played
Down by the creek where Jesus prayed.

 In The Hills With Jesus

I played in the hills with Jesus when he was just a lad 
We ran and played and talked about his Dad 

He would look at the birds, the stars, and fish 
And shout with glee
Look at what Dad has made for me

We would grow tired and thirsty and go to the well 
 He would say Drink of this water to quench your thirst 
Look at what Dad has made for me

I did not understand but he was so kind and loving. He touched my heart
 I never forgot what he would say
Look at what Dad has made for me

As time passed on and we grew older and further apart
He always remained in my heart

Then one day the news came the Romans had Crucified him
For what reason I could not imagine 
He was such a kind and gentle lad

My heart was broken. I cried and cried all-day
Then I heard a gentle  voice say. 
Do not be sorrowful for he will be with you today 

What this means I did not know
I only remembered the boy I loved so

I went to the well to quench my thirst
There was an unfamiliar soul
I was afraid at first

Then he said. 
Don’t you remember me 
Look at what my Dad has made for me

I cried dear Jesus I love you so

We walked and talked
Then he had to go
                                                             
Now I am happy and have Peace within
Because I know my Dear Jesus lives again

GOD has me writing poems 
This is the first one

Hurricane 

Have you ever been through a Hurricane 
That seems Mightier  than GOD

Praying every second
That your family's lives might be spared

The roof blows off
The walls cave in
Leaving our soles bared 

Sounds like a train going through
Leaving us so scared

Then it’s over
The silence and calm

Looking around
It seems we’ve been hit by a bomb

We can only lookup
And give thanks to The LORD
That HE spared us HIS SWORD

JOHN 

I heard of a Man named John 
He was sent from GOD above

He was to pave the way for GOD’S son JESUS 
To show more of GOD’s LOVE

His birth was a MIRACLE
Proclaimed by the ANGELS on high

He was filled with the HOLY SPIRIT
By GOD from the very beginning 

So that his life on earth
Would be Soul Winning

He performed many MIRACLES 
To show the GLORY of GOD

Only to lead the path
Of the ONLY SON OF GOD
