Ageless

I will always remember my grandmother dear
Sweet memories she made for us year after year.

She's been so much older than I here on Earth
But only because of the time of her birth.
For someday I shall stand by her side once again
Not as youth next to elderly, but long time friend.

See we're all young in heaven,
That's what I've been told.
Though there's something so special
                                                   About a person who's old.

                                                  We shall leave age to other worlds planning to be
                                                  As we all take on immortality.

                                                  I can't wait to see my sweet grandmother dear,
                                                  We'll be youthful together - year after year.

Nothing

 

When you turn out the light at night
What do you see? Nothing, Nothing.
But it looks like fright has gathered all around
And it looks like a spook in the closet with a frown
Is lurking and looking at you.

You get up out of bed and you turn on the light
There's nothing.  No nothing.
It appears that the fright has vanished with the light
And there's nothing in the closet But the things you've always liked.
Your thought were deceiving what's true.
Your imagination fooled you.

Nothing - Nothing - There was nothing!
Nothing!

(Written (with a melody) for a roadshow in Northbrook)

A Mirror of Thy Light

 I want to be a mirror of thy light
Reflecting all that's good and true and right,
Shining forth with truth in day and night,
Weaving threads of love, their colors bright.

My grandmother; she wove these threads each day
In kindnesses she did and words she'd say.
Lifting other's spirits by a baked good or a card-
Any act of kindness never seemed to be too hard.

"Doing unto others" is my Mother
As she gives her time to help lift up another.
My Mother's fine example of creativity
Is a thread of brilliant color in my lovely tapestry.

There's no excuse for me to go astray
By all these fine examples everyday.
                      A tapestry of Love -The Saviors way,
                      Lighting other's paths along the way.
