When I felt like nobody cared, YOU were there,
Soothing the wounds in my heart…

When I felt life was not worth it, YOU came around,
And proved the opposite…

When no one knew my worth, YOU showed me,
How much I meant to you…

When I had issues, YOU supported me,
Showing me how much I need you…

Now, when I look back, I have no regrets,
Because to know YOU is to know LOVE…

Lots of love for you,
Lots of love for my sweetheart,
You're my big sister!

*~Marian~

You are strong and tall,
You used to pick me up in
Your long strong arms!

I loved it when you
Picked me up and held me close,
You sometimes do it!

I'm so glad you're my
Dear sweet handsome Daddy,
And my big brother!

You're the best Daddy,
It's the way everyone should
Think of their Daddy.

Always love your Dad
Always think he is your prince,
Always treasure him!

*~Marian~

Part 1

I love my Mamma
She is my dear twin sister,
We love each other!

Two little girls
Everyday would play in grass,
Wind blowing their skirts!

Sweet breezes stirring
Would always caress their face,
In the warm sunshine.

Outside in the rain
Raindrops would kiss their fair cheeks,
Two sweet twin sisters.

*~Marian~

We set out from our homes
With aspirations bright
A bag pack of skills
And a sceptre of perfection
A potion of blessings
To keep company
We are complete.

Through the low nights
And during the blazing noons,
Through the hard needles of showers,
Until we reach the land of flowers,
We unravel
Secrets of the deep and the dark
We gain and yet sometimes loose
We fathom
Through the layers wise
And make our axioms

On a quiet night however,
When we plunge in retrospection
A star shines bright
Connecting and completing the picture
We are but one glowing dot from the many
And the canvass completes
With the treasure of family lineage
All encompassing and strengthening
A synecdoche of life.

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast , And our eternal home!

Beneath the shadow of Thy throne Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God; To endless years the same.

A thousand ages, in Thy sight, Are but as an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun.

O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come;
Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home!

Alas! And did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the
burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away), It was there by faith
I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unkown! And love beyond degree!
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the
burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away), It was there by faith
I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures's sin.
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the
burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away), It was there by faith
I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears.
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the
burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away), It was there by faith
I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do!
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the
burden of my heart rolled away (rolled away), It was there by faith
I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

By: Isaac Watts      **1674-1748

God is love, His mercy brightens All the path in which we move;
Bliss He forms, and woe He lightens; God is light, and God is love.

Chance and change are busy ever; Worlds decay and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never; God is light, and God is love.

E'en the hour that darkest seemeth Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the mist His brightness streameth; God is light, and God is love.

He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above;
Ev'rywhere His glory shineth; God is light, and God is love.
