It’s that time of year again

When we remember Jesus Birth

It was a day to remember

When he came to be on this earth

A day full of wonder

With tons of stars in the sky

A time of miracles and hope

And a special birth none could deny

Twas the reason for the season

When plans came together

And a time which everyone

In the world would remember

With it brought peace and joy

To those all around the globe

A special delivery of this tiny baby

Brought nothing but hope

Hope and joy filled the air

With the wonder of this tiny baby

Whereby in later years through him

People would give their lives just maybe

He grew up to be the Son of God

Bringing good news to all those around

And in which he would give his life

For those who knew no bounds

He was the almighty, the Holy One

If only everyone could see

Changing lives forever

He was the answer, the only key

Through this precious life

Seeds were sown throughout the land

People would cry out for more of him

Because of Him, the people were glad

So if you don’t know Jesus

And the wonders and hope he brings

Then I urge you to follow him now

Forever he is and will be our one true king

How I long for you to envelope me

To be in your presence day by day

Struck by your awesomeness and

To be renewed no matter what

Comes my way

I long to become deeper still

to fall down on my knees

knowing you are at the centre

for only you alone my heart

could fill

I desire to be in prayer often

To be able to talk with you

And listen to the voice

Who regularly calls out my name

my heart softens

I don’t deserve to be near you

To be enveloped in your arms

Do I have the right to call you Lord?

I fail so miserably always

In all I do

There are times I find it so hard

To be near you to even feel your

Presence no matter what I do

My soul thirst for you, longs for you

This isn’t a façade

I so desire to learn all your ways

To become so enthralled in

Your company, what more could I ask

Than to be enveloped often

In your embrace

So I turn to you with a heavy heart

And crying deep within my soul

Abba Father, hear me when I call

Only to me alone could you

Alone possibly impart

Your voice of wisdom is all I ask

To reach deep inside me whenever

I call upon your name even though

This maybe sometimes be in vain

I want this to last

So more and more I long to

Fall down on my knees

To be more than to just simply be

So I call out to you in all and

Everything I do

This poem is about a wonderful lady so dear

If only she could listen and maybe just hear

The things that people love about her just so

She had so many friends but as I recall no foe’s

So down to earth and lovely to behold

There was more to her than just her weight in gold

You were the rock to which everyone turned

Your God helped you through everything you had learned

Though you were happy in all that you did

There was nothing whereby you wanted to get rid

The days seemed always brighter with you around

You were no fool and you were nobody’s clown

You loved playing the piano and organ which you did so well

You were the top of your league and people thought you were swell

You were slow to anger and so rich in love

Your love shined through so richly empowered from above

Peacemaker so thoughtful and so true

There was nothing it seemed, no nothing you couldn’t do

You shined far above others who put you to various tests

Your faith was your stronghold and now is your ultimate rest

Granny Annie you were known by from those far and wide

There was not a soul out there, no, no one you couldn’t abide

You were modest throughout your life for all to see

You deserve to be happy now, and you had everything down to a T.

You were there for everyone’s needs

I remember you wearing your many colourful beads

Dressed always so smartly wherever you went

You were always so happy and more than content

You were a wife, mother, grandmother and friend

You stood alongside everyone right to the end

May you be at peace now my friend so dear

For you are one person to whom I adhered

You were there for all of my needs

You were indeed a friend so rich who sowed so many seeds

I am so honoured to have been a tiny part of your life

Now where you are may there no longer be any pain or strife

Unto you alone do I open up my heart

Unto you alone I know we will never be apart

For since I gave my life to you

I know that we aren’t through
