Charley

A blade of grass, a bird, a love,

May lift our thoughts away

To Him who sits upon the throne

In an eternal day.

In nature’s beauty, in human care,

The Master builder’s hand,

Forever bountiful and fair,

Points to the Son of Man.

In trials and cares be most zealous,

For Jesus will carry you through.

For in His own word He doth tell us,

“My grace is sufficient for you.”

Yours in brotherly love,

As the most quiet-girl

To Charlie,

True friends are like Diamonds,

Precious but rare,

False ones like autumn leaves,

Found everywhere.

Charlie,

Sailing down the stream of life

In your little bark canoe

May you have a pleasant trip

And just room enough for two.

To Charlie

There is a small and simple flower

That twines around the humblest cot,

And in the sad and lonely hours,

It whispers low “Forget me not.”

Dear Charlie

If lifes pleasures cheer thee

Give them not thy heart

Lest thy Gift answers thee

From thy God to Part.

The sweetest word in our language is Love.

Dear Grandpa,

Mary had a little lamb

She put it on a shelf

Every time it wagged it’s tail

It would spank its self.
