My Mother's Tears

"I shall be telling this with a sigh." Robert Frost

When I see my mother cry
sometimes I wish I knew why

My mother cries sometime at night
Sometimes she cry just from fright

My mother cries sometimes when ill
The Lord knows her strenght is her will

She might be weak from time to time
She calls on the Lord for peace of mind

My mother cries when she feels pain
The Lord is her staff, strength she gains

Sometimes she cries like a weeping child
Then there are when her cries are very mild

I her my mother pray at night
Sometimes she pray with all her might

She thank the Lord for each new day
and pray for her troubles along the way

No matter the reasons why she cries
The Lord is with her
He is always by her side

Sister Soldier

You stood on the battlefield
with no man-made weapons
in your hands

You held GOD'S greatest weapon
called FAITH to help you stand

JESUS was your Commander
HE guided you everyday
HE ordered your footsteps
through your PRAYERS and FAITH

My SISTER SOLDIER
you stood proud with
your head held high
You fought the good fight
You fought for your life

My SISTER SOLDIER
you lost the war, but,
your battle was won

You received the highest Medal of Honor
All of us, hope, someday we will earn

Your Medal of Honor is the Key to Heaven
No more battles for you to fight

In Heaven, you have a new body,
a new soul, a new spirit
Your Badge of Courage is
Eternal Life

True Reflection - Inner Soul

When you look in the mirror Who do you see..... Do you see you or someone You would like to be You question yourself wondering if it's really you The answer is YES.... The mirror reflects the TRUTH Looking in the mirror you stare into your own eyes.... The eyes are the window to the soul Your eyes never LIE Again, you question yourself wondering if it's really you.... And this time, your eyes reveal the TRUTH The mirror is reflecting your INNER SOUL.... Looking back at

Crossroads of Life

Do you go to the left? Do you go to the right? Do you continue straight ahead? Do you stand still? No matter what path you choose You are at the Crossroads of Life If you go to the left what will you find? If you go to the right, will you have peace of mind? If you continue straight ahead will your journey be long? If you stand still, you might think your decision is wrong No matter what decision you make you are still at the Crossroads of Life Before you decide which path to choose ask God to help you HE is your adviser, with HIM you can't lose HE is your guiding light when you are at the Crossroads of Life

Ship of Life

GOD is the MASTER of our Faith JESUS is the CAPTAIN of our Soul When we are sailing on the Ship of Life the storms don’t last very long Our Ship of Life is beaten and worn, but, with GOD as our MASTER and JESUS as our CAPTAIN our Ship of Life keeps sailing on The storms of life will forever rage on with GOD watching from above and JESUS onboard our Ship of Life keeps sailing through troubled storms When our Ship of Life reaches that distant shore all of our troubles will be left onboard because our Ship of Life will be anchored in GOD'S Mercy and blessed with JESUS' Love

A Prayer For Others

I had a talk with GOD today
I asked HIM to help those who
are lost and can't find their way

I asked HIM to give strength to
those who are weak
and continue to bless those who are
strong for HIS convenant they keep

I will always pray for others
They are all my spiritual sisters
and brothers

In the name of The Father, The Son 
and The Holy Spirit
Let not my words of prayer
fall on deaf ears

Fishing

I grabbed my fishing pole and all the fishing lures I thought I would need.  Now, I’m on my way to fish for my daily meal.
	When I got to the waterfront, there were no fish for me to catch.  I was disappointed, so I decided to sit down and think.
	While sitting there thinking, a man came over to me.  He ask, why are you just sitting here with your fishing pole and lures?
	I told the man coming here was a big mistake, so, I’m sitting here because there are no fish for me to catch.
	The man said follow me, I’ll take you to a place where you can fish, you won’t need your fishing pole or your lures and you won’t have any regrets.
	I didn’t understand what he was saying, but I followed him anyway to see what was his plan.
	He took me to a place where a crowd of people had gathered.  I said to him, there is no water so how can I fish, what can I hope to catch.
	I said to myself, I’ll never catch any fish because too may people are here, so now my hope had been totally shattered.
	He said listen to what I  say, then you will understand why I brought you to this place.
	He stood in front of the crowd and he started to speak.  His voice was soft and gentle, like sweet honey to a bee.
	He spoke of love, kindness, forgiveness and many other wonderful thing.  I forgot about wanting to catch fish for me to eat.
	He keep talking and I started to understand.  He wanted me to fish for lost souls, so I can teach them about God’s holy plan. 
	I’m no longer a fisherman for creatures of the sea.  I am a fisherman for the Lord, that was His ultimate plan for me.
