Four Seasons 

The creator of the Four Seasons I would like to thank
Each one has a different reverence for the way we think

Spring gives us energy with the flurry in the air
Birds building their nests scurrying here and there

Summer is a wonderful time of year
A time to embrace the heat and work with cheer

Fall is a time of transition into winter
Enjoying all the fall colors in their splendor 

Winter is a perfect time for a new start
The glistening snow that  cleans our hearts

So what more perfect life should we desire
Then the Four Seasons that lift our hopes even higher

I Learned about  Living 

I learned to read the Bible
I learned who I was

I learned a little about JESUS and a lot about LOVE

The more I read the more I learned
If I followed HIM I wouldn’t have to burn

I kept my eye on him in the dim light
The closer I got it became so bright

I learned I don’t have to fight anymore
Living for GOD is no real chore

I have complete Happiness within somehow
When I turned and faced HIM here and now

I learned more about JESUS and more about Love
When I read HIS Holy Word sent from Above

Standup 

Stand up all the children of this world
You are being called to carry GOD’S Flag unfurled 

His Celestial  Army is on the move
To Show His Great Love for all to approve 

It’s Now or Never there’s no time to kill
Joining not you will see the gates of Hell

 Grandma

When you were growing up
Did no one seem to care 
Was there just one person, your burdens you could share

Was that person your Grandma, taking time for you
Always being concerned about what you were going to do

Grandma’s are overflowing with love from above 
That’s their calling in life, sharing GOD’S LOVE

Painted Bunting

The Painted Bunting is such a beautiful bird 
His colors are of the rainbow mark my word

His colors are bright red, yellow, and blue
Shimmering in sunlight their brilliance shines through

He sings such a harmonious happy song 
Howdy-do, Howdy-do, Howdy-do all day long

GOD’S Creation no more Glorious than he
Knowing GOD sent him for just you and me

The Old Home Place 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
The Old Homeplace
Brings back Memories 
Of yesteryear gone by

Children laughing and playing
Grandma’s cooking
And the warm breezes blowing by

Good Memories are cherished forever
How they make time fly
The Old Home Place sheds  a tear in my eye

The old hound dog that slept on the porch
The squirrels up in the trees
The colorful leaves rustling in the breeze

Good times are never meant to be forgotten 
Only cherished with time gone by

That’s why I’ll always remember
The Old Home Place
Of times gone by
