Patricia Grantham Poems

As you start your journey and begin to cross the dale
Be like the wise old owl and master every trail
The path might be rough and the going may be tough
Keep on crossing the stones until you've had enough
...

Spend precious moments with a love one
Take the time to give a word of cheer
Then live out your life to the fullest
Knowing He will always be right there
...

To all that gave their lives so that others could be free
Gone but not forgotten are those who died for you and me
With their loved ones left behind and all they held so dear
None could ever take their place nor wipe away our tear
...

The family all gathered around the heavy laden table
Their hands clasped together with heads bowed down low
Giving their many thanks for another chance to be able
To receive all the blessings that the Father would bestow
...

As I traveled along the way
Met an Angel who began to say
Take my hand and follow me
Where I go you shall be free
...

Love is a deep emotion we have for one another
It is shared by a friend, father, mother or a lover
The giving of ones self of something tried and true
Can either break the heart or make you feel like new
...

As I was walking down one day on an old rugged road
Wondering how I would make it with such a heavy load
My burdens are so many I cannot bear them all
Thats when I needed a Saviour to answer my every call
...

The bright sun rises above the earth like a sparkling jewel
Shines its light with such radiance and warms the air

Then sets in the west to make a way for the luminous moon
...

You may think one way
I might think another
We began to separate
Start to say why bother
...

Who can quench the tongue in its fiery flame
That member of the body known only by its name
Not easily subdued nor always able to tame
Stirs up strife and stays ahead of the game
...
