MY BEST
When night fall, and my world becomes silent.
Can i say, when i pray, that I've given my best today?
Have I reached out to inspire. Living my life as God requires.
Did I make someone smile today. Have I helped someone lost, find their way.
Did I remember to say thank you for who you are. For being my savior,
My shining star. Shining like a diamond on my darkest night.
That I may walk by faith, and not by sight.
Being the best God wants me to be.
That heaven might find a place for me.

MY WISH
I wish that I could cause the sun
To warm the world with love
Remove the clouds a moment
To reveal the stars above
I wish that I could wipe that tear
From the corner of your eye
Bring happiness for your sorrow
Bring a smile for your sigh
I wish that I could better things
Put hope within your heart
Make today the best you've had
Right from its very start
I wish that I were able
To make your dreams come true
I wish I could - I wish I could
Do all these things for you

MY CROSS
Lord Jesus Christ, You have given me My Cross and You have
blessed it with Your Precious Blood.
May I shoulder My Cross while giving You glory knowing that it is
by Your most precious Will I carry the Cross You entrusted to me.
May my faith in You broaden my shoulders with strength.
May my hope in You give me the grace to lead a holy life.
May my courage be such as to give You Glory who is King and
Center of my Heart and Soul.
May the Cross You've given me grow lighter and lighter as I place
my faith and trust in You, knowing that this is a special gift to me from You.
Amen.

SEEING IN MY HEAD
My response appeared
I visualized it in my head,
I tried to speak, but could not sense a
word
Throat clogged, as if dead
But, courageously I said NO

I wandered forty upon a plain
Walked over sand untouched by rain
A certain destiny I had in mind
Towards it I strode without thought of him
Suddenly it was there in all it's splendor
But it's gates were closed I could not enter

I wanted so much for you to stay.
I prayed to our Lord that April day.
The Lord decided that you should go.
I'mstill asking why,someday I'll know.
We need you so much here on earth.
But God needed you too,
He knew your worth.
Your pain is over.
Your not alone.
A part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.

Hold me, and never let me go
Most Beautiful words I've ever heard
They came to me from my four year old
Hold me, and never let me go
Remembering when I was young
How I longed for my mother
Hoping to say those words to her
Many times I cried, and couldn't swallow
Dear Lord, thank you for my daughter
Hold me, and never let me go
I give those words to you, Lord
You have always been there for me
Even when I wasn't there for you
I give my life to you, Lord
Knowing that I am safe in your care
I am learning to trust in you, Lord
Hold me, and never let me go
The mother I never had
Is the mother I'm gonna be
Thank you, dear Lord
For trusting two daughters to me
If I never accomplish anything else
In this short time on this earth
I wish to spread my love
Through the daughters that I gave birth
They are very special to me
I never knew this love could exist
I imagine you do Lord,
Do you love me like this?
Hold me and never let me go!!

THE LAST OF THE SIXTIES
Today's my birthday.
Oh My? I made it to 69 -
Being older is like being teenager
Without any restrictions
I can do things I have never
tried before.
At last I have time to play and create.
I can't wait to go on. I feel like
I am soaring, it will be fun to turn 70.
Today is my birthday.

ALLELUIA
The trees sway with their Alleluia
The birds fly with their Alleluia
The flowers bloom with their Alleluia
The rain sprinkles softly with its Alleluia
The Sun shines so bright with its Alleluia
The Moon shines at night with its Alleluia
The Ocean with its mercy shouts Alleluia
The Wind blows so gently with its Alleluia
The People shout for Joy with their Alleluia
Christ our Saviour has risen today.
Amen. Alleluia
