Grateful
I am grateful for life itself
To see the sky the trees myself
To breathe fresh air and see the sun
I've no regrets, not even one
Grateful for my family
And the joy they bring to me.
To God above who made it all.
Some things big and some things small
Meeting people and having fun
Sharing stories when days begun
But I'm also grateful God made me
And gave me my family

Christ
Christ died so that we may live,
Isn't there something that you can give?
He gave us wisdom and love so true,
He made me and he made you.
Give him glory and give him praise,
Today, tomorrow and all of your days.
Worship and love him, as he wants you to,
And do what is right, and he will guide you.
Don't get caught up in evil,
It will tear you apart.
Give Christ your life and love,
And he will give you his heart.

Look Up Above
.Look up above at the clear blue sky,
Or the beauty of it will pass you by.
Look at the flowers blooming so bright,
All the colors and shapes and types.
Look at your family what do you see?
I hope you will notice what I always see.
Look at yourself and ask yourself this,
Are you satisfied? I hope you can say yes.

TAKE ME BY THE HAND LORD
Take me by the hand LORD and hold me close to you
Keep me from all evil so I can stay good and new
Don't ever let me go LORD don't let me go astray
I know that you love me please wash my sins away.
Keep me on the straight path and send me your sweet love
I'll treasure it forever it's sent from heaven above
I will never discard it I will never abuse
I will always keep it forever my own to use
It's such a wonderful gift LORD that you have given me
I can't explain how it makes me feel I want all the world to see
I'll spread my love around LORD that you have given me
No greater gift could I receive I'm glad you made me see
I'll never let you down LORD you've given me your all
Compared to what I gave you it's so very small
I love you very much LORD I know that you can see
My heart belongs to you LORD I'm as happy as can be.

Women Of The World
I am a woman of 53 years. I decided to
write about seniors because I find them
fascinating,funny,and very intelligent.
My mother is a senior and she is the most
beautiful woman I know. Seniors are very
experienced in life and know a lot about
things in general. They have interesting stories
to tell and it is important that we admire and
respect them.I have many senior relatives and
each one is interesting and funny in their own way.
I love to listen to seniors tell stories as they
have a lot of them to tell. So when you are out
and about and see a senior who may need help with
carrying bags to the car, or need help crossing the
street, or a friendly conversation, don't think twice.
Just go ahead and do it. You will so good inside and
you will make them feel good too. Ask them if there is
anything you can do for them and let them know you
care for them. They will never forget you or what you
have done for them. But most of all tell them you love
them. You don't have to know the person to tell someone
you love them. Do it as GOD would want you to. Gave a cup
of tea or coffee with a senior and tell them if they ever
need someone to rely on you will be available.
Everyone needs someone to love. And seniors need
someone too. Thank you and GOD bless every one of
you seniors out in the world.You sure make the
world a better place to live in.

Nothing Can Compare/CHRIST
Nothing can compare to life except dear GOD above
Life is what he gave us from his pure sweet love
Nothing can compare to him there's nothing more divine
Than the name JESUS and LORD The LORD I call mine
Nothing can compare to HIS Eternal lasting love
HE waits for us to accept it He sends it from above.
Nothing can comapre to GOD No matter what people say
HE only wants you to love him And pray to HIM each day
Nothing can compare my friend Than my sweet SAVIOUR LORD
YOU are my CREATOR With YOU I'll never be bored
CHRIST died so that we may live,
Isn't there something that you can give?
HE gave us wisdom and love so true
HE made me and HE made you
Give HIM glory and give HIM praise,
Today tomorrow and all of your days.
Worship and love HIM as HE wants you too
And do what is right and HE will guide you.
Don't get caught up in evil it will tear you apart
Give CHRIST your love and life and HE will give you his heart

MY FANTASY
As I lay down to go to sleep I drift into a different
time and place. Where dreams come true and fantasies
become so vivid they seem to be almost real. I see
in the distance a tall figure of a man dressed
quite well and he looks back at me and my heart
beats rapidly and I find myself dreaming of him
taking me into his arms and dancing oh so
gracefully. He slowly echoes towards
me and I feel a little embarassed. He is closer
now and we start talking. He asks my name and I
tell him "Monique".
I ask him his name and he says "Juan". We get to
know each other better as we continue talking for
hours. We meet the next night in the same place. He
takes me home after we have had a wonderful
evening. When we meet again we go down on the beach
on a beautiful warm summer evening. We talk, ate
some cheese and grapes and drink some wine. I feel
so safe, so content, so secure with him I never
want this evening to end.
We laugh, talk and he looks into my eyes and tells
me how lovely I look. I say "thank you". You are
the most handsome man I have ever met. He
says "thank you". We finish off the evening on the
beach by turning on the radio he brought with him.
We dance. It is getting late now so we both decide to
head home as we both have to get up for work. We
have been dating for some time now. I got a
surprise one night when he took me out for dinner.
We had our meal drank some wine and he reached
in his pocket and took out a little jewellery box.
He said "Monique, I love you. I want you to be my
wife.
Will you marry me?" I said "Oh yes. I will marry
you Juan". We got married a month later. It was a
beautiful wedding. And we lived happily ever since.

LOVE ME
Love me like there is no end no tomorrow like there
is no one else for you but me. Love me like the moon
big and bright across the evening sky. Love me
like flowers blooming in spring and like the pure
and driven snow. Take care of me like you would
care for an injured animal with tender love and
care.And love me like the waters running freely
down a river or stream. Like stars that shine so
bright in the beautiful moonlit sky.
Love me like the smell of sweet aromas of perfume.
Love is such a beautiful gift GOD has given all of us.
So let your love flow free to everyone and most
of all to me.
But most of all love me because that's what
GOD would want you to do.There is nothing
stronger than love. Love is the most powerful
emotion given to all of us from our heavenly
FATHER from above. Share your love and give all
the love you can.

MY ANGEL/SPIRITS
by Margaret Latter March 28, 2001
There's an angel watching over me,
Keeping me safe and company.
Making sure I come to no harm,
Giving me guidance love and charm.
Sending me where I'm supposed to go,
Where she will send me I don't know.
She will guide me and lead the way,
I trust in her knowledge,
With each passing day.
I need not be worried she's right by my side,
Keeping me away from evil deeds.
And looking after me each step of the way,
And this my friend is all that I need.
SPIRITS
Spirits come and spirits go,
But mine will stay this I know.
I won't let it go astray,
I'll keep mine everyday.
Your spirit lives inside of you,
Bring it out you'll be anew.
Keep your spirit alive and let it be known,
That it will comfort you in a storm.
Your spirit is important everyone has one,
So keep this in mind when each day is done.
Your spirit will protect you and keep you from harm,
Keep you happy safe and warm.

My Dad
My dad left me three years ago,
I miss him more each day;
There are so many things to say,
If he were here today.
But since he isn't I must keep
my thoughts, my dreams alive.
And he is looking down on me,
And giving me the high-five.
Saying"Go for it, give it your all.
And make your dreams come true,
You have the gift that GOD gave you,
And I'll be cheering you."
I owe a lot to my Dad,
And I'll be ever so grateful,
To him my dad this man.

My Friend Bonnie And Me
I met a new friend on the internet
Bonnie is her name
We shared our lives and interests
Of which we had the same
We chatted and laughed and became quite close
And will chat again from time to time
We will share our laughter and our pain
She lives in Australia
Which is quite far away I live in Canada
That won't get in the way
We will be friends forever
we will always keep in touch
I enjoy meeting people especially my
friend Bonnie, of whom I like very much
I'm so glad I met you Bonnie you'll be my
friend forever more
I can't wait til we chat again
When you hear a knock sometime
It will be me knocking on your door.

MY DEAR FRIEND
This is a poem I wrote about a dear friend
I met over the internet.
&mbsp;
I met a lady on the internet she's pleasant and she's sweet,
We talked and laughed for a long time a friend that can't be beat.
We share each others interests and lives that seem to be,
Quite similar to each others this friend who came to be.
We chat every evening and share what we did that day,
We catch up on our daily lives and hope for another day.
I'm glad I met this lady Terry is her name,
I made a new and dear friend who makes me feel the same.
And I will treasure our friendship
til for me the sun doesn't shine again
I hope someday to meet her and tell her face to face,
How much I enjoy our friendship no one will take her place.
We share so much in common even though we live far apart,
I know we will be friends forever I feel it in my heart.
I am a lucky person to know this friend I made,
And if we ever get the chance to meet in person,
I will not let our friendship fade.
Everyone needs at least one true friend and I have found mine,>br>
She lifts me up when I am down and that is so divine,
I can't express my love for her my friend Terry so sublime.
Margaret Latter, 2002
One Bright Light
The tree was trimmed the gifts were out
The music was playing the kids gave a shout
"Mommie look at the bright light!"
It was shining oh so clear
"Mommie why is that light shining brighter
Than the other on there"?
I thought about it for a while
And realized it must be
Like the star of bethlehem
For all of us to see.
It was a very special night
