Poems by Jac Judy A. Campbell

In a tall oak tree, on a steep rugged hill
Sit's a small contented bird
She's a singing Whip-Poor-Will.
All though she's small in size
She sings a chanting shrill,
As we listen to her calls
From the echo of the hills.

On a warm summer eve,
It gives me such a thrill,
Listening to the calls from the
Chanting Whip-Poor-Will
Though she is very hard to see,
She is easily to hear
As the chanting of her songs,
Is like music to our ears.
As we listen to the calling,
Of the singing Whip-Poor-Will.

Is there a window In heaven Lord?
A window to look out and see
From a window up above Lord
For my loved ones to look down on me

Oh Lord what a wonderful comfort
If I could only know,
Through a window they could see me
To watch me down below.

They would see I really miss them,
I remember them all the time,
They would know how I long to see them,
And they will see I'm doing fine.

They will see I have God's blessings,
He watches over me all through the day,
They will see I'm beginning to smile a little
And laugh along the way.

They will see I talk with pride Lord,
Whenever I speak their names.
And they will see my life without them
Will never be the same.

They will see my thoughts are always  with them,
Their memories are entwined around my heart,
They will see I'm preparing to meet them soon,
Never again to part.

So Lord is there a window in heaven?
For the ones you've taken from me.
A window up in heaven Lord,
A window to look down on me.

Mama with her babies in her rocking chair, she sings
The soothing sound of lullabies,
Her voice so sweetly rings.
Singing in her rocking chair,
she holds her babies tight.
The soft voice of an angel
Keeps singing through the night.
As children crawl upon her lap
And play upon her knee,
She sings the silly, joyful tunes
They love so playfully.
Mama sang the hymns of blessings,
With love and grace so tenderly.
She sang "How Far is Heaven,"
And "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me."
When young years turn to golden
And memories go back in time,
She clenches now her dolly
And sings rhythm with a rhyme.
When words of songs have been forgotten,
She hugs her dolly tight.
She tries so hard to sing the words
But just can't sing it right.
She now sings la la la la la la la,
As she holds her dolly tight,

Once upon a time
In a faraway Land
A little King was born
In a place called Bethlehem
Virgin mother Mary
Birthed God's only Son
An Angel called him Jesus
God sent his Chosen One
Jesus came to save his people
From their earthly sins
So we may have eternal life
Our King so freely gives

I didn't take a chance, so to speak
We're just following God's lead
He asked me if I would marry him
Holding hands on bended knee

He said that he would care for me
With pleasure meet my needs
He vowed to live a Christian life
And I had faith in him to believe

I remember when he whispered
It's not so much about desire
It's how our hearts beat deep inside
That sets our soul on fire

He told me he would cherish our love
And protect me as long as he lived
We would walk together forever
Until our journeys end

I knew he wouldn't cheat on his taxes
Or even cheat on me
For honesty shines bright and clear
For all God's world to see

I knew he wouldn't neglect our children
For they've been grown for quite some time
So tying a knot together would
Strengthen the ties that bind

I trusted he wouldn't desert me
When I crumbled and fell apart
For as he said what matters is
That he still held my heart

He'll be much more than spoken words
He'll be my trusting guy
Much more than luck or magic
Much more than meets the eye

So we're not taking chances
While in this world we'll be
We're sincerely counting blessings
And we're just following God's lead

God handpicked our singing angel
To sing in his heavenly home
She's singing with the angel choir
And around God's golden throne

When the angel came and took her hand
She whispered, "Come with me
God has a home in his great kingdom
You will sing for eternity."

She's joined the ringing harp strings
She's earned her pure white wings
Her voice so much an angel
Will be ringing as she sings

She'll be singing Hallelujah
Praise God with lifting hands
Singing hymns and ballads
Through God's glory land

We loved our angel here on earth
Her songs so pure and true
The peace of God rang in her voice
When she sang for me and you

Heaven gained a singing angel
And we will miss her here below
The remembrance of her endearing voice
Is embedded within our souls

So when we remember her
She'll be a song upon our hearts
She'll forever sing in her new home
With God's angels and the ringing harps

My children, it's been a little while
And perhaps a lot more days,
So I'm sending you this message as
I have joyful things to say.

I'm here amid God's Glory Land,
A paradise home he made for me.
I'm amazed with all God's beauty;
His blessings I have richly received.

I feel no sadness or sorrow;
My heart is free from pain and grief.
I shed no tears; I am not alone.
God's given me forever peace.

I am singing with the angels now and
My garden is growing just fine.
My goodness! All these babies here!
I am sure they're all mine!

My doves are nesting in the roses now;
Oh, what a splendid sight to see.
My poems have all been framed in gold
For all God's children to read.

Oh, I finally found my long-lost friends,
For they weren't lost at all.
They must have left me far behind
When they heard their master call.

And my family that I missed so much,
I guess for me they could not wait,
For when I climbed those golden stairs,
They were waiting at the gate.

So I'll be here in God's Great Kingdom
Enjoying my heavenly home,
For my prayers have all been answered.
God's sharing his golden throne.

Like a fire quickly burning
Laying
Touching
Loving
Passion burning, our hearts
Yearning
Desires fulfilling
Two hearts joined as
One heart beating
Can it
Will it
Ties be binding
Growing
Sharing
Caring
Making memories
Teardrops falling
Smiles be laughing
Running
Sharing
Catching
Time that's flying
Days be passing
Moments spent a
Lifetime happening
Is It?
Must be always forever
Our love
