I wish my dad was here to see,
all the new members added to the family tree.
He was only fifty two when he passed away,
Leaving a wife,five children and four grandchildren that day.
Now all of us are married,with children of our own,
When we all get together you can see
how much the tree has grown.
With ten grandchildren,eleven great grandchildren
and room for more,we need a bigger table to sit thirty four.
Oh how I wish my dad could see
all the new faces on our family tree.
| Author Notes | I am very blessed to have all my family living in the same city and being close to each other I love each one of them |

My little boy with eyes so blue
Although they can not see
Put your trust into the lord
He will forever guide thee
My little boy with hands so small
You find your way through touch
Put your hands into God's hands
He loves you very much
My little boy with hair so brown
You struggle from day to day
Somewhere in Heaven
You'll receive a crown
And Heaven's not that far away

I have fifteen little four year olds
in my class every single day.
Some are shy, and some are bold.
It shocks me what they say,
but they are still young.
They can be reached
and that is
why I
teach.

My nephew Billy and my two sons
are in the back yard having so much fun.
Playing with the water hose and digging a hole
they say they are digging to the South Pole.
They were so cute, nice, clean and white,
now I see them and it's a scary sight.
Covered in mud from head to toes,
how can they breathe, where is their nose?
I wonder how long they'll soak in the tub.
I wonder how hard they'll have to scrub.
Three little boys as cute as can be,
you wouldn't think so if you saw what I see.
| Author Notes | this is about my children and nephew. |

Oh how life can hurt us so,
if only there was a way to know
Just what lie around the bend
The broken hearts we could try to mend
Dad I'm sorry, I was blind
I don't know what was on my mind
Guess I thought God would see us through
And you would get better, just like Boo
Dad you weren't suppose to die
Now everyday I think of you and cry
I pray for a way to tell you I love you
And ask for your forgiveness too
But you are in Heaven, and I am here
And I guess I'll keep living with the fear
That you passed away hating me
Because I was dumb and didn't see
That God could close his eyes,and take your life
Away from your children and your wife
Now I don't know what I'm going to do
For everyday I'm still missing you

It's nine o'clock at night
And I am on the phone
My husband is ready for bed,
and won't leave me alone
kissing me on the back of my neck
rubbing my shoulders and what the heck
I whisper honey go away
No not him he wants to play.
I tell my boss that I have to go
I roll over into his arms.and you know
He makes my world just melt away
Here in his loving arms
Is where I want to stay

I was behind that door,
that was shut up tight.
Though he stood there
Knocking day and night.
Knocking and knocking
until I finally gave in.
Then he cleansed my soul
of all of my sin.
Now my door is open
both day and night.
Through God's love,
I found the light
My life is not dark
like it was before.
Thank you Jesus for
Knocking on my heart's
door.

Adorable little boy weighing in at nine pounds
Not really fat,just chubby and round

Having you in my life is a big blessing
Other children may be cute cute as can be
None of them are as cute as you are to me
You are my little boy a wonderful little joy

By s.m.kirby
Remember my son who was two years old?
That little boy God gave me to love and to hold.
The child who has cancer of the brain,
Oh how I cried through the hurt and the pain.
God heard my cries without a doubt,
And in his time worked all things out.
Now my son is thirty four,
Living his life serving the Lord.
Telling everyone about God above
About his Mercy,Grace and Love.
How he sent his son to die for our sins,
How he offers forgiveness if we just let him in.

She knew she was being watched,and not from afar
He was staring at her from a door that was ajar.
She felt his presence before she met his eyes
In his hand was the knife ,and she had to sigh.
He was here to hurt her,hurt her through and through
Because she did what she thought she had to do.
She left him with his mean streak,that he hid inside
Which only came out at home where they did reside
Too scared to say a word,her mind just thought a prayer,
Jesus, if i'm going to die I'm glad you are my savior.
Without a word between them, he turned and walked away,
She fell to the floor thanking God for another day.
She did not hear from him for many months passed by
And when their paths crossed again, he began to cry
I'm sorry I tried to hurt you I thought that you were mine
you were his and always have been,and now I know it's fine.
I signed the papers when they came,now we don't share the same last name.
By s.m.kirby
God created us to worship
Him and him alone
Instead he had to send
Jesus to safely guide us home
THANK YOU LORD

Jesus makes me happy
To him my praise I'm giving.
Since I met my savior
My life is all worth living.
He has blessed me with many things
That I am thankful for.
My husband,children family,friends
And a grandson I adore.
He knows how I like to write
To give him all the glory.
So he gave me a place to post them
Right here on our FanStory.
God bless you all

While traveling to work today
With flashes of lighting on display.
I do enjoy watching the rain
Just not while driving,It's a pain.
Hands held tight to the steering wheel
It's hard to explain how I feel.
So I whisper a prayer for safe travel
Then all my anxieties begin to unravel.
And as across the bridge I go
Over the water is a rainbow
Like God himself was talking to me
He is in control if I let him be .
So no matter rain or shine
I'm glad God is a friend of mine.

Ten kisses for ten fingers
Ten kisses for ten toes.
One for his belly button
and one for his nose.
Grandchildren are
a gift from above.
I thank God for my
grandson that I love.
I give him kisses
under his chin.
He laughs and laughs
So I do it again.
Two kisses for his hands
Two kisses for his feet.
I could kiss him all day
because he is so sweet.

She had wealth,and she had fame.
In her life there was no shame.
Then a child of Gods she became.
And nothing since has been the same.
She has no wealth,she has no fame,
She gave it away in Jesus name
The world all say shes gone insane.
But you won't hear her complain,
Because living to serve,is the
name of the game.
By s.m.kirby
Born of sin nature from Adam and Eve,
a generational thing passed down to me.
We are all sinners upon this earth,
Can only find grace in a second birth.
The wages of sin is death God tells,
Through Jesus he saves us from hell.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins,
He offers forgiveness if we believe in him.
Now I'm just a sinner saved by grace,
Because Jesus Christ took my place.
I am thankful to our God above,
For his Mercy, Grace and Love.

I'm the happy baker
I love to bake.
Owey gooey cookies
And a special cake.
So come along children,
and follow me.
I will use you,

Sweet little fingers

And just for Halloween
a special treat.
A very sticky stinky pie,

So come along children,

It is so hard to tell someone you love
that your heart is breaking
It is hard to watch them go down the path
in life they are taking.
I know children learn by making their
own mistake.And There are consequences
for the choices that they make.
Everything that happens, happens for
a reason.
A storm in our life is only here for
a season.
I realize that this to will become
our past.
I just don't know how long this storm
will last.
So i'm going to trust God as he puts the
pieces together.
Because he holds me in his hands through
all kinds of weather.

Dearest Mom,
As an infant I never said
Thank you for changing and
feeding me.
As a toddler I never said
Thank you for all the things
you did with me.
As a teen, well we both

Thank you back then.
But as an adult I just
want to say Thank you again
and again

through thick and thin
or rain and shine
I'm proud to say the best

I love my husband of twenty five years
I love our children through laughs or tears
I love all my friends and family
And I know that they love me
I even try to love my enemies too
But no one loves me God like you.
Precious father in heaven above
You sent Jesus out of love
He took that journey to Calvary
To die on the cross just for me
And for that there is no greater love
Than that from our heavenly father above.

I was granted a wish upon a star
And I knew it would come true.
I wished for people, near and far
To come know Jesus, the way I do.
Then I would watch the glorious view
As the love of Jesus came pouring through.
No more hatred,violence or crime
we all loved each other till the end of time.
Then the gates of heaven were opened wide
We all gathered together to go inside.
Where we stood before our God above
Who created all of us to live and love.
| Author Notes | John 3:17 For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world ,but that the world through him might be saved. |
By s.m.kirby
I wonder why in this world that Jesus is so hated.
For when I take a look around
I'm thankful for all He created.
You believe in God the Father.
You believe in the Holy Spirit.
You don't believe in the Son
And you don't want to hear it.
To be told that Jesus is the
Only Way to our Heavenly Father above.
To be told he died on the Cross
For our sins,
and he did it out of love.
You say that I am stupid,I am foolish to believe.
All that I can say
Is I will pray for thee
And ask our Lord to touch your heart
The way that He has touched mine.
That you will believe in Jesus
Before the end of time.
Than together we will praise Him
For all eternity.
For I would really like to see you there
Praising Him with me.
So listen carefully with your heart.
To the words God does tell,
It is only to believe in Jesus
That will save your soul from Hell
By s.m.kirby
You went to the shelter, with a pet in mind.
Not really sure of what you would find.
Somehow you knew which one was best.
Didn't feel the need to look at the rest.
You gathered him up to go home with you.
For the rest of his life, he was loyal and true.
As a puppy he was full of a lot of energy.
With a look that said, come play with me.
As the years past it would never fail.
He'd greet you at the door wagging his tail.
Yes __________ your beautiful furry son,
Happy by your side when the day was done.
The day came, He went to heaven at last.
Leaving you with memories of the past.
It hurts when one we love has to part.
But in time. God mends a broken heart.
By s.m.kirby
Thank you God for loving me.
For all the things that you have done.

Thank you God for loving me.
For all the things that you have done.

I may not be the smartest apple
to fall off my fathers tree.
I have a brother and three sisters
who may be smarter than me.
But I'm not stupid,I can think
for my self.
I get my knowledge from a book
that is up on my shelf.
It's my old Bible,the pages are worn.
When my children were small,
A few pages got torn.
So for those who think I'm stupid,
Just because I believe.
Then let me be stupid in believing
For what Jesus Christ has done for me.

My three year old class is the best.
Singing songs and reciting rhymes,
But now it is instruments time.
Drums banging- BOOM,BOOM,DA BOOM,

Welcome to my class of little noise makers.

I really don't like the way that things are
I can't run the vacuum and I can't drive a car.
It hurts to sit down,it hurts to just stand
So pop another pill and go to la- la land.
This is not me it's not living my life
I am a mother,a grandma and my husbands wife.
With so many things that need to be done
By me, not my husband grandchildren, or son.
I need to learn how to deal with this pain
If I don't then I know I will just go insane.

While strolling through the zoo in the city.
Admiring the animals, and flowers so pretty.
somehow a monkey managed to break out.
Sending viewers of all ages just running about.
That monkey was after a child running around.
So, I had to side tackle it down to the ground.
It may have bitten me and put up a good fight.
But I knew that that little boy would be alright.
When the zookeepers came and gave him a shot.
A free pass to the zoo for a year is what I got.
Now that I know how things there are done.
Going to the zoo doesn't sound like much fun.
After learning how that monkey made his escape.
A temporary fix in the net with some duct tape.
A large tree in the monkey pen had overgrown.
Causing a tear in the net covering his home.
