"I HAVE FEELINGS"

“I Have Feelings” (For Dawson, Libby, Jenna)

"When baby brother takes my toys –
That’s when I’m sad a bit –
But sharing solves the problem quick –
And I get over it."

"When thunder rolls and lights go out –
That’s when I feel quite scared –
But we have candles in the house
My parents have prepared."

"When every thing goes wrong at once –
Or when I get worn down –
I might feel just a little mad –
But I can smile, not frown."

And what makes you feel glad? I asked
A beaming three-year old:
"When Jesus whispers in my ear –
It tickles some, you know.

When Jesus whispers in my ear –
Or when the Holy Ghost –
It kind of tickles then, you know –
That’s when I’m glad the most."

“I BELONG TO A FAMILY”

“I BELONG TO A FAMILY”

You made a trusty Nest for me
Before my mortal birth –
So I could learn to feed and sing
When I arrived on earth.

You kept me safely snug and warm,
Then taught me how to fly.
I thank you, Mother, Father dear,
For showing me the Sky.
