A BLANK WORLD




No sky, no rain
No night, no day
No life or death
No rivers, no lands
No hills or mountains
No clouds floating
No air to breathe in
No moon and no sun
No trees and flowers
No farms to tile and no crops
No sand the feet to walk on
No forest and no animals to feed on
No birds flying on the sky
No rainbow and no dew
No past or present to follow
No east, south, north or west
No sons or daughters to hug
No hatred, fighting and killing
No graves and souls to grieve
No time, no today, no future
No sights for there's nothing to see
No heaven, but a world around
A blank world life would be
If there is no God who created thee

JOY EVERLASTING




On the 8th day in September, the wind was friendly
It cuddled you into our arms in the morning
The hallway was silent with moments of excitement
When an angel came and welcomed you into our home
You're so pretty, the brightness of the sun couldn't match your smile
You brought us joy that echoes millions of mile
Our hearts leap with an eternal and everlasting joy
You reminded us of the feelings of life so beautiful
I saw an angel sat by the bed with gifts in her hands
Gift of life, love, inner strength, prosperity, hope and success
Many couldn't have the privilege we did today
We thank God for making you a member of our family this day
From the depth of our hearts, we will always love you
And to God we shall forever be grateful

JESUS LOVES ME



Jesus loves me, this I know
For the bible tells me so
He gave me eyes, His glory I see
He gave me lips his praises to sing

He gave me a heart and feelings meek
I can hug a loved one
Welcome in a stranger
I can walk freely all around the world

He gave me his words
So I wouldn’t be worried about the future
Like trying to measure the length of the sky

He loves me so much
That the enemies wonder why
He walks with me where ever I thread
My sins on the cross, He sacrificed and shed

Life today is filled with questions
Like why we sometimes cry
Why wickedness enveloped the world
Why do loved ones get to die

Jesus loves you too, this I know
He gave us the wonderful things in life for free
So someday you and I would replicate
Plant a tree into the heart of another soul


I am so glad that he saves me
My spirit in the grave it will not lay
Through the difficulties of life 
He is abundantly able to see us through
