POEMS FROM THE HEART

Tea Party As I sit with my unfinished poem Little feet run up to me Papaw, come play with me? Papaw, come play with me? Come on you're not too busy I thought with my thoughts I was all alone Till I heard the cry from the hall And heard the footsteps so small And I was not alone at all When I heard her sweet voice call And when she turned to go with tears in her eyes My heart it began to sob Of her kiss I had just been robbed My head it began to throb And my tears began to drop No more words for...

Sure Missing Her Today Oh I wish I could talk to mom just one more time She always knew exactly what to say With just one touch she'd cheer this ole heart of mine I sure am missing her today Her smile would brighten the darkest of nights She knew how to put a smile on my face When she walked into a room, the room became bright I sure am missing her today I remember watching her with her hands in the soil Her flowers made a beautiful bouquet Her hands were never idle, oh how she did toil I sure...

A Poets ABC's A is to be different like Antonym Or similiar like a synonym Seaching for a word, That's not too absurd Like a song on a mandolin B is to be like Beethovan To be a bright beacon To sing an ode to joy To be a messanger boy The poem to sweeten C is to answer the Call Though your back be to the wall To search until you have found The perfect song, the perfect sound To find the beauty in the small D is for the lasting Dedication To always manning your station When there is no applause...

When He Whispers My Name In the stillness when He whispers I am the truth I am the way What more does He really Really have to say Let the bombs burst loudly I don't hear a thing In the stillness when He whispers When He whispers my name When He whispers my name All fear it is gone When He whispers my name I can carry on All is peace and joy No darkness do I see When He whispers my name It's easy to believe In the stillness when He whispers My child peace be still I rest in His arms In the...

God Will Surely Suffice For Me I'll argue not with fate you see The good my eyes will look to find God will surely suffice for me I'll not complain my lips will be In song with praise to thee so kind I'll argue not with fate you see Content with what He knows I need In Him all peace I know is mine God will surely suffice for me No one but Him is good you see My life to Him I am inclined I'll argue not with fate you see He leads me in the path so free My eyes they see that once were blind God...

Ride Little Horsey Ride little horsey strawberry town Be a good little horsey don't fall down Sweetest little song I ever heard Sweeter than the song of a little bird Faster, faster she shouts with glee That's my little Gracie on my knee Do it again just one more time Says that little granddaughter of mine She laughs and laughs as horsey falls down I guess I'm the best little horsey in town She gets right back on with that little grin Safe to say she is papaw best little friend My little cowgirl...
