Life’s In-Between

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 01:47:18 +0000

All who live upon the earth
in time will pass away
and return to God their maker,
to be judged on judgment day.

From the day that we are born
our death is unforeseen,
but birth and death dates matter not,
what counts is in-between.

One, who we all dearly love,
has left this place called earth.
God has watched her “in-between”
and knows how great her worth.

A life lived so unselfishly,
with love for everyone,
will be taken up to Heaven
where she’ll hear God say,
“Well Done!”

(Can change the “She” to “He”)

Mother Do You Know?

Mother have I told you
I’m so proud to be your son?
Have I ever thanked you
for the many things you’ve done?

Have I shown you ,by my actions,
my gratitude and love?
Have I given you the praise
you are so deserving of?

If you could look into my heart
how quickly you would see,
the special place you hold there
and how much you mean to me.

I may not have always shown it
by the things I say and do,
but there’s no mother in the world
more loved, dear mom, than you.

Dreams

I dreamt an angel came to me
and this is what she said,
“I am here to tell you.
In five minutes you’ll be dead.”

She went on; “It’s really sad
your life was not lived well,
The devil has you on his list
to join him down in hell.”

I knew this day would come
but wasn’t quite prepared.
I asked if there was any way
my soul could now be spared.

She told me, “With more time,
your fate could be restored,
if you had a change of heart
and learned to love the Lord.

Because of love for earthly things
you’ve come to meet this fate,
and now you want to change
but on a deathbed is too late.”

I awoke with great relief
to a new day’s shining beams,
and thanked my God in heaven
for wise messages in dreams.

Best Of The Best Teacher

There are dedicated doctors
saving many lives each day.
Lawyers who are good enough
to never lose a case.

There are great mechanics,
great bosses and great cooks.
Super pilots, race car drivers,
and great authors who write books.

Policemen and policewomen
and politicians too,
who are awesome in their jobs
as they serve me and you.

But in the field of education
you will never ever find
a more dedicated teacher
in this big world than mine!

Seventy?

Could it be….you’re seventy?
Well if the truth were told,
Somebody, as rude as me,
Must tell you… “YOU ARE OLD!”

How Yogurt Got It’s Name

There was a girl named Gurtie, who wasn’t very purdy.
An Italian girl who weighed a half a ton.
She ate ice cream every day, so the boys all stayed away
and she asked, “what can I do to catch me one?

Well, her dad was pretty smart, and loved his fat sweetheart
so he came up with a special recipe.
He said, “This will make you thinner, so with boys you’ll be a winner.
Eat this instead of ice cream and you’ll see.

In a month she reached her goal becoming skinny as a pole,
and all the boys in town began to flirt.
Now, back to how it got it’s name and became a thing of fame,
with each batch her dad would make he’d call, ”Yo- Gurt!”

Apology

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:51:31 +0000

It really doesn’t matter
who is wrong, and who is right.
Our love should be much stronger
than any reason for a fight.

Nothing in this world
should tear our love apart.
I’m so sorry that I hurt you.
I love you with all my heart.

I Don’t Like Cats

admin — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:32:33 +0000

They’re God’s creatures and I wouldn’t be mean
but when it comes to cats, here’s the thing;
I don’t like them… have no doubt,
so if you have free kittens, count me out.

I like dogs, and horses too.
Goldfish, elephants, and even you,
Zebras, lions, tigers, muskrats;
but I’m telling you… I don’t like cats.

I don’t like preachers who point and yell,
People who don’t take baths and smell.
I don’t like Judge Judy, ties or hats,
and read my lips… I- don’t- like- cats!

Time to end this little rhyme
My cat thinks that it’s feeding time.
She always pouts if she hasn’t been fed.

‘Nuff said….

Bad Dreams

I drempt an angel.came to me
and this is what she said,
“Put your things in order
because tomorrow you’ll be dead.”

I thought I was real healthy
so it came as quite a shock.
I just laid there and listened
as she went on to talk.

She said, “It’s awfully sad
you didn’t live your life so well.
You won’t need to take your coat,
it’s really warm in hell.”

I guess I knew this day would come
but wasn’t quite prepared.
I asked if there was any way
my soul could now be spared.

She said, “Well if you had more time,
your fate could be restored,
but you’d have to have a change of heart
and learn to love the Lord.

It’s through your selfishness and pride
you’ve come to meet this fate.
Now you want to change your ways
but it’s a bit too late.”

I awoke with great relief
to a new day’s shining beams.
It’s great to be awake and free
from silly senseless dreams.
