Snowfall
Of all the things in life Ive seen Throughout these precious years Snowfalls capture all my thoughts And wash away my fears
Theyre quiet, soft, when wisping down To cover what we see It takes the very worst of things And powders them for me
It always seems so still at night When first it has arrived It takes the dried out winter tree And makes it come alive
It covers all the shrubs and leaves That stay throughout the year And makes it all look beautiful So fresh and white and clear
It covers all the ugly things That we would always see And creates another masterpiece Thats painted just for me
It never stops to pick and choose Which item it should bless It just drifts down on everything And makes it look its best
Oh wouldnt it be wonderful If life had snowfalls, too That came into our hearts and minds And made them all brand new
That covered all the evil thoughts And whitened all the pain And every time were sad or low It would simply snow again
So this I pray for everyone That feels a little blue That snow will drift into your heart And make it fresh and new
That all the dark and worrisome thoughts You think of every night Will be snowed upon with happy thoughts That cover all your frights
For all the beauty life beholds Is like a snowfall, too It puts aside the ugliness And covers it for you
Just let it snow into your heart And always in your mind And keep them fresh and clean my friend Pure thoughts are the only kind
So every time you see it snow And it happens every year Youll know youre growing older And theres less and less to fear
Because its snowing harder now And life is clear and bright And in these last snowfalls of life Your hair is turning white
There Will Come A Day I Pray There will come a day, I pray When peace will rule the world And all the battle flags of war Will stand there sweetly furled
There will come a day I pray When love will be the creed And all the money spent on war Will help the ones in need
There will come a day I pray When children everywhere Will have the food they need to eat And lots of love and care
There will come a day I pray When you and I agree Until then, Ill pray for you And hope youll pray for me
Fly My Sparrow
Fly my sparrow Elevate the heart Show us exultation If only to depart
Be the winds avenger Soar with eagle pride Rocket to the mountain With gravity defied
Unleash the bridled power Slice through azure sky With heart so quickly pounding No fear of when to die
Dive upon the beaches Storm the greenest woods Tell me what its like to fly If only that I could
Remind me how it feels to soar So void of fear and pain Fly with me beneath your wing Through sun and darkest rain
For I so like the sparrow sweet Should fly ever fearless and free For the beauty of life passes by ever swift In the flight God created for me
Downs Syndrome
I believe that God creates Some beings just for Him He wants to see just how much love One child can have within
Therefore he made the syndrome That we all know as downs And sprinkled it throughout the world Simply spreading love around
When I see these happy kids With the beautiful smiling faces Its easy to see what God has done And where He put His graces
For these truly are the children of God The chosen and beautiful few Who go through life, day in, day out Full of love for me and you
The thing that really makes me smile And I really cant believe Is how He chose the moms and dads Who were worthy to receive
For these are the parents of the children of God So patient and loving of heart And accept all the love that these kids have to give And hold it til death do they part
The sweetest thing it seems to me Is why He put them here To show us all that love can last And last throughout the years
For unlike us these kids grow up And still love with the mind of a child They dont get divorced, or need more space They just want to be held for awhile
So if you see a child of God Dont feel sad or even forlorn Simply know that hes one of the few in life Who knows why he was born
So stop and chat and listen close To what they have to say They love to laugh and smile and hug And always make my day
So God bless the children and parents, too And pray that you will know The kind of love they all receive Wherever they may go
So learn to laugh and smile and hug And love like these kids do Youll do very well to follow their path Always loving what God gives you
I Once Met A Man I once met a man, who didnt have hands Yet he smiled every day, because life was so grand
I once met a man, who didnt have arms Yet he laughed as he told me the funniest yarns
I once met a man, who didnt have feet Yet the sound of his cello was ever so sweet
I once met a man, who didnt have eyes Yet his sculpture in clay was a wondrous surprise
I once met a man, who didnt know God And we all felt sorry for his loss
