I Painted You A Rainbow

January 3, 2012

I will paint you a rainbow as a gift from me,

Then hang it from heaven for the whole world to see.

On a canvas of love I will cover your fears,

With a soft brush I'll dry all your tears.

I will paint you a rainbow with feelings so deep,

My stroke will be gentle, my touch you may keep.

On a palette of words I will tenderly blend,

Colorful thoughts with bright verses to send.

I will paint you a rainbow in reds, blues and gold,

Stretched like loving arms ready to enfold.

And deep in the center of the most vibrant hue,

I will etch from memory the essence of you.

I will paint you a rainbow, a bridge to my heart,

So loneliness and pain can begin to depart.

Just look up at the sky when life hits a bend,

I painted a rainbow for YOU my child, my friend.

She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the
stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.
But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the
wise woman...

One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and
his wife entered the lobby of a small hotel in
Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, the
couple approached the front desk hoping to get some
shelter for the night.

"Could you possibly give us a room here?" the husband
asked. The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile,
looked at the couple and explained that there were
three conventions in town.

"All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. "But I
can't send a nice couple like you out into t...

If Tomorrow Never Comes

December 31, 2011 
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop...
