A Little Daffodil

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
A little yellow daffodil
Was born one April day
And with a smile poked out her head
And shouted, “Spring! Hooray!”

I’ve come to open up my blooms
No time to waste or hide
And Then I have to grow my leaves
And stretch roots on every side

But when the sun was called to bed
And soft shadows came to creep
Our little tired daffodil
Laid down her head to sleep

“O child” God said and gently smiled
“I know there’s lots to do
But now just resting in my arms
Is what is best for you!”

The Shepherd’s Voice

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
The voice of the shepherd
It rings crystal clear
It skips on the hilltops
And in the valley I hear

Stay close Stay close
As close as you can
For this journey ahead
You must stick to My plan

Then I turned and I saw
The wound in His side
And I trusted the voice
Of my Shepherd who died

Stay close Stay close
As close as my heart
On this narrow way
We won't travel apart

Stay close Stay close
Whatever may come
For the rough road ahead
Is the way that leads home!

Not a Sparrow

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment

Mother Robin was upset with me

When I shook her babies nest

I only tried to trim her tree

Thinking I knew best

I didn’t hear their tiny song

Or see they were in danger

Till mother tweeted out so strong

To guard them from a stranger

If that Robin worried so

Much more our God above

Watches over little Sparrows

And children with His love!

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care Matthew 10:29 NIV
