Old age has snuck up on me
When I wasn’t looking
Perhaps whilst I was sleeping
Or maybe when I was cooking.
She has placed some aggravating
And confusing things for me to bear
Such as the loss of muscle strength
But a preponderance of strange and useless hair!
Sadly when I comb my head I find it thinning there!
I have new meds to take each morn
With some to take at night
I only hope my mind holds up
Letting me get the directions right!
The directions on each bottle
Although sometimes confusing
Provide daily exercise for me
With their “Shake well before using!”
I’m not complaining about it
So please don’t get me wrong
I just want you to be prepared
When these symptoms come along!
Don’t fuss or fret about it
And don’t try to fight
For with all the hindrances involved
There are some things which bring delight.
People give you latitude
When you don’t get something right.
They exchange a wink or two
At things you may say or do
Not realizing that though your ears are bad
The lenses in your eyes are new!

Happy Happy Birthday
What can I say
But fortunate is the person
Whose birthday is today!
A chance to start the year anew
A clean slate of a year
Especially for you!

Put Your Hands Up

Put your hands up
If you have a problem.
Put your hand out
If you need help
Put your faith in motion
And toss away the notion
That you are all alone.
Put your hand up
To reach out to Jesus
Put your hand in His hand
And walk with Him.
Open up your heart
And be willing to part
With hopelessness and despair
For He is always there, waiting fo r you
And it’s up to you to put your hand out…

Mary, Nothing is Impossible to God

Mary, do not fear
No need for a tear
For this child to come
Will be a son-
A Holy one.
Rejoice as we in Heaven rejoice
Be glad and give praise
As your eyes toward Heaven you raise
For of all the women in the world
God has chosen you to bless and to give birth
To the one who brings salvation to the earth.
Rejoice, for nothing is impossible to God.
Rejoice!

My socks don't match!
Do you think anyone will care?
They don't match each other
But they match my other pair.

 

 

My shoes don't match
One is a flat and the other is a stack
One of them is blue and the other one is black
I don't remember buying them...
But I must have liked them a lot
For they look exactly
Like another pair I've got...

Sometimes the world needs a bit of silly
And that's when they come to us
TO help put into perspective
A little hurt or fuss.
We can't make world changes
Can't make all evil go away
But it's always a little thrill
If we can make someone smile today!
