Storybook Fairytales

When I was a child
as many children often do
thought stories of the wild
and fairy tales were true

The unicorn of fable
and the enchanted wood
with fairies always able
working magic for our good

As there the pixies play
all around the ivory tower
where the sleeping princess lay
waiting for the midnight hour 

When her white shining knight
would ride upon his steed
slay the dragon with his might
and with a kiss be freed

How I long that the past
with its simple childish pleasure
throughout this life would last
to enjoy it at our leasure.

Pretty As A Peacock

 

Pretty as a peacock
a saying we’ve all heard

And it is a term
that’s not at all absurd

I look at a picture
of this majestic bird

Think of God creating it
with but a single word

He said let it be
a proud and regal bird

And for all humanity
this lesson to be heard

“I gave beauty to your life
by the power of My Word

May you live for My glory
and love Me as deserved!”

First Rate Version

We each have a beauty
unique and our own
it would be a tragedy
to become another’s clone

Be the first-rate version
of who you are today
not a second-rate version
of someone else along the way

You should always know
to cherish the real you
that God has created so
you’d brighten this world too

He loves who you are
and designed you to be
a bright and shining star
in heaven eternally.

Sunflowers

 

I passed a field of sunflowers
which made me think of you
and all of the many hours
we have spent together us two

When the garden you did plant
the wind had blown it apart
the corn lay at a slant
and I just about lost heart

But I straightened up each stalk
and asked God them to bless
as through the garden I walk
it was such a beautiful mess

I saw that wildflowers were there
in the middle that you’d sown
and done it with tender care
for me to have as my own

And then on the very end
tall and proud they stood
the wind their heads did bend
but those sunflowers looked so good

Sweet memories of you, my love,
that I’ll carry to my grave
and with the help of God above
many more of them I’ll save!
