my poems


How I love Thee

You wrap me in Your arms & shelter me with Your love
You shower me with Your eternal promises from above
You comfort me all day long
You help me to be strong
You teach me how to be like You
You walk with me in everything I do
You will never leave or forsake me
My wonderful Jesus, how I love thee.

Soon

How long til I'm caught up in the sky
Til I can spread my wings and fly?
How long til I see your face
Til I feel in place?
How long til we are wed
Til the crown of life is upon my head?
You tell me, soon.

Teddy Bears

Things teddybears can't fix
Things far worse than stones or sticks
Teddy bears can cuddle
But, that's far too subtle
Teddy bears are furry
But, life is in too much of a hurry
Teddy bears are there
Life's troubles I can share.
But, teddy bears are not the answer
To this lonely dancer
Hearts of peace
Faces of fleece
A teddy bear will never do
When what I really need, is you.
