Currently Reading Living on a Shoestring By The Tightwad Twins see related

ON A SHOESTRING

I cannot
get to Heaven,

On a Shoestring
and a prayer

It will
take heart and a tear

My
soul to get me there

It will help
if I am good

It will be better

If
God takes me there.

A THOUGHT!

Pennies
I can pinch

Not
my way to Heaven

I
would be
Taxed too much

Trying
to pay
the other guy

Hell
it cost more
than I made

April 15,
is now a treat

Hell
the taxes
are way too high.

Dedicated to Ronald

A Poeatreeman

Make sure
you count your sense

Dollars
may give you more

Yet
at the end
who counts then?

Better
to bank
on a safe deposit

Put it all
in God's Hand

A safe return
is what you'll win

When
You Keep
Faith with Him..

A CHILD

             
If I see a child smile

I'll feel
their happiness within

If I see a child cry

I'll feel their pain inside

If I see a child
looking to the stars

I'll know
they're trying to talk to God

If I see a child
reach for love

I'll give all
that God gave me

If I see a child praying

I'll pray that God
will bring them love

If I see a child

I hope it is Jesus coming through.

CHILDREN

                     
If I feel the sunshine on my face

I'll know a child smiled at me

If I feel the rain

I'll know a child washed my face

If I see a child look to me

I'll show them God to better see

If I see a child that does not hope

I'll give them love to keep the faith

If I see a child reach for help

I'll extend my hand to open the way

If I see a child that does not hurt

I'll give them my heart
to show there's love

If I see a child talk to me

I'll hope that I can understand

For it may be me.

A Poeatreeman

If I see
A tear, a heart, a soul, for me
What do I have if there's no hurt?
A tear is a child's star
A hope that dwindles with each flow
A falling star touched down to earth
A wish not made
though wished God would.

A CHILD'S CARE

 
Don't Use The Bible
To Make A Child Conform
Use Love and Understanding
Patience and Care.

God Will Do The Rest
 
If They Say His Prayers At Night
Say, Them in The Morning
All Throughout Their Life

He Will Be There With Them
 
To Guide Them Through The Night
When They Wake in The Morning
They Can See God's Own Light

Knowing He Was There

Watching Them in Life
For They Said Their Prayers
From Morning, Noon and Night.

Guided By God Steered By Love

Cared By Understanding
Patience, When You Teach.

Tears Will Make it Easier

If Your Heart Becomes The Ship
You Can Sail On A Tear
A Tear That Cried To God.

He Has Given You A Heart
You Will Have To Love To Meet.

God Will Be Your Guide
If You Take Him In Your Heart.

For The Child In Your Life
Remember They Have Heart.

A Poeatreeman

To all Mothers & Fathers

SAY A PRAYER FOR LOVE
LOVE WILL CARRY YOU

PRAY FOR CARE EACH DAY
CARE WILL BE YOUR WAY.
