Poetry About Jesus and Salvation 

My Mission Field

My mission field is one

Lord, help me do my job til done

I can love and work and pray

Til the dawning of a new day

Others may go to a far off land

Where they gather souls like sand

My mission field is one

May I stay on earth til that one is won

We will meet in heaven one day

Where we'll have much fun and play

It will be worth it all when we get to heaven at last

And I know for sure we'll have a great big blast

Love, Grandma

(Inspired by Tyler.  This is the first poem I ever wrote.)

BMX Champion

I used to watch a great BMX champion,

winner of all the races

He used to go all over the countryside

and beat people in different places

He traveled from one state to another

and showed them all

he was the fastest and the best

and as the winner, he stood 10 feet tall

He always strived to be the best

to be victorious and to win

and even took a few tumbles

and scraped up his skin

But he never gave up,

he had to be the first to the finish line

That was his goal in life,

as he always thought "the trophy will be mine."

(In memory of my son, Tom, being the state champion BMX bike racer)

Birthday parties, Jim

I have a son-in-law who is

a Peters through and through

When it comes to birthday parties,

he'll always be there for you

He has to teach his children too

to understand the importance of such things

When someone has a birthday,

you get out the whistles and balloon strings

It really does not matter how old you are

 if it is your birthday, you're going to be the star

A Boy Named Joey

There is a little boy named Joey

He likes to play outside when snowy

He will make a big snowman

But only if his daddy says he can

He likes to throw a ball

But never in the mall

He can run as fast as lightening

And sometimes can be quite frightening

He races with his dad

And even makes him mad

Because he is so fast

And his daddy comes in last

He likes to be the best

And always pass the test

He learned that from his mommy

When he was inside her tummy

He likes to ride his bike

And sometimes go on a hike

He likes to play with trains

Especially when it rains

He likes to play at the park

But never after dark

So if you never met this real sweet boy

You are missing quite a great big joy

But when all is said and done

All I can say is he's a wonderful grandson

And after we've had our games and play

We'll both be together in heaven someday

Love, Grandma

Goin to Leave This World Someday

I'm goin leave this world someday

Goin go to my home in heaven far away

I want my loved ones to be there with me

We'll be singing and rejoicing as happy as can be

Ain't coming come back to this old world, no way

Goin be there in my home to stay

I'll be waiting for my kids and grandkids to meet me there

There will be a grand reunion in that land so fair

We'll be set free from all sinning and strife

There we'll just be having a great old time in life

We'll be loving each other with no trouble ever brewing

With the joy down in our hearts and our love renewing

Hallulejuh, Hallulejuh, we'll be set free

Yes, we'll be set free for all eternity

Son and Daughter-In-Law Appreciation

My son and daughther-in-law are so thoughtful and kind always

Even though they are so busy with their jobs and other relatives

they still find the time to brighten up many of my days

I love my son and daughter, they mean so much to me

We always have great times together going out to eat

and sometimes just watching a homemade fireworks movie

Whenever I see my son and daughter-in-law is always a great day

They bring such joy and happiness to my life

I hope they understand the love I'm trying to convey

My son and daughter-in-law are the best I ever had

and when I see them it makes me so glad

Daughter and Son-In-Law Appreciation

My daughter and son-in-law are so thoughtful, kind and sweet

When they know I’m sick they bring me good food to eat

I’m always so glad and happy when I see them at the door

We have such a great time together and it is never a bore

I feel kind of sad when they say "we got to go."

Wish they could stay all day and I could watch the kids’ show

It blesses my heart to hear my grandchildren sing their Jesus song

And I always pray that to him they will belong

I love to see my daughter and son and grandkids too

If I didn’t have them in my family I don’t know what I’d do

Daughter Appreciation

My daughter, Jennifer, is the one you can always count on to do

All your Christmas shopping and gift selecting for you

She knows the perfect gift at the right store and price

And likes to help out her family with her shopping skills to be nice

I appreciate my daughter for all the great shopping she has done

It was a big help to all of us and she seemed to be having a lot of fun

I would say she is probably the best shopper I’ve ever known

And when getting close to Christmas, her shopping is full blown

I love to see my daughter, Jennifer, and her little boy, Tyler, too

They mean so much and cheer me up when I’m a little blue
