Sunday's Best

Dear Children of Mine

When each of you were born

I read the Bible faithfully prayed and sang with you every morn

I had such hopes, how you would turn out 

Of this I had no doubt

Oh, how my heart aches to see you today

Not the happy children like you used to be when outside at play

How I long for you to see, what God can do for you

If only you would learn to trust him and obey

Trusting in God and leaning on Him

Will give you great peace and joy within

I pray that you will see by my example

God's love for you is so much more than ample

I have learned to depend on Him in my life

I pray you will see, what He could do with your worry and strife

Open your hearts my children, not just your minds

He is ever so gentle, forgiving and kind

God isn't so bad as you might think

Jesus is truly your only link

On my own, but not alone
Your are my constant friend
Family and Friends may come and go
In my life and out they flow

With God there is no changing or shifting shadow
He is in the valley's and in the meadow
Great are you God and abundant in strength
Merciful and kind above all I ask or think

Trusting, faithful, reliable and sublime
I know I can trust you with this heart of mine
Meeting my every need, and cares in this world
Your Will is best and never unfurled

I will praise you and exalt your wonderful name
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit
Are one and the same

Alway abiding beside me day or night
Guiding, directing, comforting me
With your combining might

I want to serve you all the days of my life
With you by my side to take away all my worries and strife
I love you more each day, you are precious to me
Even when others cease to be

On my own, but not alone
With God by my side
His great love He has shown

This poem was written about my Mom and Dad and their cat "Sammy" that had loved them both.  I wrote this after my my Mom passed away June 28, 1993

Dear Sammy

I know you waited for Mom and Dad

We used to see a shadow of you run across the hall

We didn't realize that you were waiting for them to come to your beck and call

They left us in 1990 and 1993

Now they are in Heaven with you

And there they are happy and free

I know in my heart that God let's all pets in

Even though they know no sin

He wanted us to have company while we are earth 

Just as he did back in the beginning of time

To give our lives meaning and rhyme

So now little friend, I am so glad you are there in Heaven with my Mom and Dad

One of the best pet's they ever had

I have had many pet's throughout the years and today one very special cat

And when it is her time to leave I do believe

I will find her waiting for me right there where you are at

God created Heaven for all mankind and our pets too

So, we who are left behind will be happy to know

Our loved one's have been joined in Heaven forever to be with you
