All I Ask

 

Rising early in the morning I watched the sun, rise

Its warmth and beauty filled my soul as I heard the seagulls cry

I walked along the sea-shore as a breeze gently blew

And in that precise moment I felt his presence and knew…

The day was almost over, time does not stand still

I asked my heavenly father to show me his perfect will…

He whispered softly to me, are you ready for that my child

I answered a most assuredly, Yes Lord, and stood quietly to hear…

Love others without question, stick closer than a brother,

Honor your father and your mother

With all your heart, delight yourself in me

My perfect will is this child; that all man-kind would know

My perfect love is what I give, because I love them so…

Oh open your eyes and see beyond the curtain, life is waiting for you now

I only ask that you seek me; with your whole heart kneel and bow…

I loved you from the beginning and I love you now…

Lift up your eyes from whence cometh your help…

See me from the inside out…

What more can I do I’ve given all; give your life, and take the call

I’ve called you to serve, stand humble yet tall

I am God; I am your Abba; The First and The Last

Give me your heart that’s all I ask.

Mommy's Rolling Pin

 

Mommy’s Rolling Pin

My mommy has a rolling pin

I watch her roll the dough

Making my favorite pastries

The ones that I love so

The rolling pin is made of wood

I watch it as it spins

She adds the nuts and chocolate chips

Eggs and vanilla all filled within

Spinning over the mixture I see

What a delight she’ll be giving me

I watch the wooden rolling pin; spin, spin, spin.

If not for mommy’s rolling pin

No pastries would I savor

Of dough that holds delicious nuggets

Full of freshly sweet, baked flavor.

My mommy’s wooden rolling pin, now sits upon my shelf

And just for the fun of it…I’ll roll some dough myself!

My Teddy Bear Moe-Care

My Teddy Bear

Sitting there upon the shelf the one I made all by myself

Is a fluffy, little brown bear, whose name is Moe-Care.

Moe-Care and I were the best of friends

He’d go wherever I’d go…

A trip outside in my wagon, Oh, I love him so…

At nighttime, my companion

He’d chase the woolies away…

Woolies are the scary ones they don’t come out in the day.

Shaking under the covers they hope to make you cry…

They tickle your toes and wiggle your nose, while all you do is sigh

But Moe-Care and I, we’d snuggle tight when the lights went out at night…

And just when I thought, I’d be swallowed up, by the woolies in my room

Moe-Care with courage, fought strong and true, to chase away the doom

So if you have a teddy bear that’s worn, whose coat is bear…

Keep him up upon the shelf…

Telling Woolies, “You better Be Wear.”
