Christmas Poems

My friends mom is giving out pancake mix to her neighbors and asked that I write up a few poems for her to attach to them; just thought I'd share them on here as well.

Pancake Poem #1
Under the tree the gifts enthrall,
But the nicest present of them all
Is filling our thoughts with those who care,
Wanting our Christmas joy to share.
With love we give you this pancake mix
It’s quick and easy for you to fix.
Now spend more time with those you love
As we celebrate the birth of Him above.

Pancake Poem #2
Was told that you’ve been good this year,
I’m always glad to hear it.
So, here’s something yummy,
To bring the Christmas spirit.
It may not be a sugary treat
Or something ready for you to eat
But Christmas morning with its tricks
Will be less hectic with pancake mix!

A Lesson Learned

Ok, I've actually had a request to post this poem on here. Enjoy.

A Lesson Learned

Quickly! Get over here!

You're wasting valuable time.

Don't let her see our fear,

But her life is on the line.

Those were the words the doctor said,

The ones I was not to hear,

As I lay there in that hospital bed,

And wiped away a tear.

Dark fear was pounding at my heart,

Fierce pain took my breath away,

As I hung my head to ask the Lord,

"Please bring me through this awful day."

My life has taken a new turn,

My eyes have opened wide.

A scary way for this lesson to be learned,

But it's what I needed inside.

The sun rises every day,

The trees grow higher and higher.

Flowers bloom along the way,

A bright spring day, now a little brighter.

Take time to watch the sunset,

And view the flowers around the bend.

Celebrate each day you've met,

You never know when it will end.
