DID YOU WONDER?
I kissed your sweet face
Saw your trusting smile
Saw the love reflected in your eyes
And wondered all the while

Did you really know what you were missing?
Did you wonder why you couldn’t talk?
Did you wonder why you weren’t like others?
Did you wonder why you couldn’t walk?

Did you wonder at the tear in mom’s eye?
As she talked to you and cared for you
Did you wonder at the gentle smile?
As she said, “I love you”

I don’t know if you wondered these at all
I don’t know if it would have mattered to you
For you had known gentle love and care
And you smiled no matter what you’d been through

I will tell you what I wondered for you
I wondered what it would be like to hear you talk
I wondered at how very special you were
I wondered what it would be like for you to walk

I will tell you something I knew
 You were a special gift from God
He gave you breath and a wonderful spirit
And I know He was with us this path we had trod

I knew no matter the hardships endured
He was with us every step of the way
He had a special purpose for us
And He would call us home someday

My sweet little boy, now in heaven
He is holding you and you see His smiling face
He has healed you and made you whole
Saying well done, you have run your race

Rest now Michael, safe in His arms
You are now able to walk, talk and run
Keep him safe for us Lord
Until the day our race is done

And I hope to hear from our little boys lips
Thank you for your love and all you have done
For though our hearts are sore
Someday we will join him in heaven with Your Son

So for now my sweet little boy
We will love you Michael and miss you
Trusting  in our loving Saviour
Until we are reunited with you

I had written this poem differently a couple months ago, I rewrote it for the service Celebrating Michael's life. He passed away suddenly 2weeks ago today. I miss my little sweetheart.

INNUENDOS

Innuendo and snide remarks
Talk behind your back
Why such dirty little minds
Why are they on the attack?

This friendship we have
A blessed gift from above
Two people brought together
Through the mercy of God’s love

Two who were lonely
With no one to share
The things they have in common
Whose hearts are worn with care

They prayed to God
To help them find a friend
Someone who would understand
And stick with them to the end

They knew their loving Saviour
With Him they had no doubt
But the needed a friend in this world
Someone with whom to hangout

Someone they could share with
All their hopes and dreams and prayers
Someone they could be quiet with
Or talk about their cares

Then one day it happens
Their prayers for a friend answered
They meet someone who is willing
To take the hand of friendship offered

With their loving Lord to lead them
They find many things in common
As they share as brother and sister
Their heartache and pain lessen

They share their hopes and dreams
A bond soon grows between them
They even share their prayers
But there are those who would condemn

They look to their loving Saviour
Who has blessed them with this friendship
They ask for His help and guidance
For they know they may face hardship

They bear the innuendos and snide remarks
For their bond is of the Lord
They pray together for His leading
Knowing to leave Him out they can ill afford

THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION

With mercy so deep
And grace undeserved
He cleanses and saves my soul
With Him I am made whole

Oh why have I strayed so far
Why have I let the world sidetrack me
Things that get in the way
Taken my time with You away

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
I have given in to the tempters snare
Your ways oh Lord I have lost
I know what it has cost

Because of the cost of my backsliding
They laid the cruel whip across Your back
They drove nails into Your feet and hands
You accepted it with love I do not understand

You put aside Your crown of gold
Let them put on a crown of thorns
You endured the agony of the tree
All for love of a sinner like me

Cleanse the thoughts of my heart once again
For my sin is ever before me
Let the joy of Your salvation burn bright
Fill my soul with Your love and light

YOU ARE THERE

When the storms of life are raging
And the whirlpools of despair
Threaten to pull me in
Precious Lord, You are there

When the winds are blowing hard
And they push me everywhere
I think I've lost my way
Precious Lord, You are there

When doubts come crashing in
And of those only am I aware
When they cloud my thinking
Precious Lord, You are there

When I have nowhere left to turn
And it all seems so unfair
That "friends" have gone and left me
Precious Lord, You are always there

Through all the twists and turns
This life has to offer, to ensnare
Though I sometimes succumb to them
Precious Lord, You are always there

You have never left me
I am the one who strayed
But You precious Shepherd
At my side have always stayed
