Poems by Jac Judy A. Campbell

Dad everyday must be a celebration in your
Beautiful Heavenly Home
But it seems today is not the same,
For your children here below,

There will be no gatherings in the park
No family barbeques, No silly special Dad cards
No shirts or ties of blue,
There will be no connection to hear your voice,
Or hear sister I love you.

There will be no visits from your grands
To come play with Papa Bear,
The special hugs, the teasing pats,
Are moments they each share.

As each day triples past us
The memories grow stronger within my heart.
Of all the joys, the happy days the
Strong lessons that were taught.

I'll not forget the many times, us working side by side
Your silly jokes, the fun and laughter,
The sad tears that we cried.

As thoughts of you still linger
I'll remember the good times had,
Especially I'll remember the most,
You will forever be my DAD.

Whisk Together with Hugs
Spread over a lifetime of Memories
Sprinkle with love
Serve with Good Times and Togetherness
For many years

We work no long hours
nor keep track of the time,
We are living in the moment
with each one by our sides.

We stroll down the sidewalks,
Speak to others we meet,
Share a smile and a nod,
To sad faces we greet.

We enjoy the present,
we're not falling behind,
We are living in the moment,
As time's slipping by.

We travel among strangers,
We meet folks we don't know,
We chat, and we laugh,
As we happily go.

We dwell on no troubles,
No worries or fears,
Our laughter is joyful,
We shed but few tears.

We have hope for our dreams,
And faith in our souls,
We grab on to the high fives,
No time for the down lows.

We don't hurry the future,
Nor hold on to what's passed,
For we are living in the moment,
As the time wizzes past.

God is our reason
Our comfort and peace,
We seek his opinion,
We are following his lead.

We'll trod the right pathway,
God's approval we'll seek
We'll walk with him always,
With our pace at high speed.

A second will come,
A Minute will leave,
We are not even aware
Of the time in between.

Soon, one day, we will say,
It was a beautiful, sweet ride,
Because we are living in the moment,
With each one side by side.

May our challenges be triumphs
Our accomplishments are huge
Our strengths are many, our fears are few.
Have peace and contentment that can't be destroyed,
Many days of comfort bring happiness and joy.
May our worries be tiny, may our sorrows be small,
May we show kindness and compassion
To strangers and all.
May we have someone to care for, and have plenty to do,
Have little ones to cherish, and someone who loves you.
Have more courage than fear, more peace than strife,
Have a home full of harmony that will fulfill our life.

Of all the wonders you have done,
The events you planned, the races run.
The workload endured day by day,
The deeds that were completed along the way.
The list and schedules have no end,
The ups and downs and back again.
The lessons taught were more than a few,
None can compare to Wonder Mom you.

If I forget to tell you, I had a wonderful time
For all the todays and tomorrows
And for the years we left behind.
If I forget to tell you, I love your calm
And gentle ways and how you never
Lose your cool, even on our troubled days.
And you tell me that you care for me more
Than you can ever say, and you love me more
Than anyone can on any given day.
And what about the silly things we laugh at
In the night, and how you always try your best
To make things work out right.
And you give me all I ever need, and you give
Me so much more, especially love from inside
Your heart that I fondly hold in store.
You shower me with treasures, the ones that
Money can't buy, and there are many times
You've protected me while walking by my side.
And how about the memories through these
Years we've shared and the blessings you bestow
Upon me; nothing can compare.
So to you these words I've written from my heart
Are true; someday I'll write a few more lines and
Add a page or two
Just in case I forget to tell you.

When the day becomes an evening
And I've seen the passing sun
I know I've heard the last little chirp
Of songs the birds have sung

I am now seeing the darkness
As it suddenly appears
Now the passing of the sunlight
Quickly disappears

The blue skies are slowly fading
As the glowing hues stand bright
Forming deep bright colors
Against the ebony night

The moon has cast a shadow through
The broken puffy clouds
The stars have started twinkling
With their brightness shining down

As each moment comes the changing
Of the earth's most beautiful maze
That make up God's earthly beauty
With the closing of the day

Take my hand, dear Lord
Wherever I may roam
To lead me each and every day
So I'll never walk alone
To give me strength and courage
To face each day that comes my way
To remind me not to fail you, Lord
And to help me not to stray
Take my hand, dear Lord
So I may keep my faith in you
So I won't get discouraged
In anything I do
And also, Lord, so I'll remember
Not to worry or be afraid
And not to become disheartened
Just trust in you and pray
And when I travel on my journey home
And leave this worldly land
I won't be afraid, I won't be alone
As I felt you take my hand

Like dust we shall all rise in a moment, like a thief in the night
The Lord will be coming with a loud noise from the high
The moon will be darkened, the sun won't cast its shine,
The stars will be falling from the ebony sky

The power from above will come rumbling and shaken
The clouds will descend with the Lord from the heavens
With the voice of the angel, the Lord will shout
We'll be called to our Lord, and all gathered about

As God's trumpet sounds, the dead in Christ will all rise
The ones that forsake him, the ones that pierced his sides
The Son of God, every eye will see,
Everyone will bow down on bended knee

With our Lord's great coming, the elect shall rise
And meet with our Jesus in the heavenly skies
For those in Christ who remain alive,
Will join with our Master and Lord in the sky

With the blink of an eye, we will all be changed
For our new home in heaven, we will forever remain
Like the twinkle of an eye
Like dust, we shall all rise
