Poems by Jac Judy A. Campbell

How sweet is the fragrance of the roses
And a bite from the apple pie
The blossoms that bloom in the springtime
And a wink from your love ones eye

How sweet is the nectar from the honey bees hives
And music from the birds that sing
A hug from a child, a warm embrace
And the smell from a new falling rain

How sweet is the first kiss that lingers
The whisper in your ear I love you
Sweet juicy syrup from the maple tree
And the scent from the lavender perfume

Oh for this world is much sweeter
With the sweetness floating all around
It makes the world a sweeter place
And helps keep the world turning round

You came to us as a Princess
A pretty Granddaughter baby girl
So full of love and laughter
A sparkling diamond in this world

You were Unicorns and Rainbows
Smiles and giggles from the start
A beautiful ray of sunshine
You captured our lives and heart

We had play days together
Sleep overs and tea party's too
Dance rehearsals dressed all in pink
So adorable that was you.

As years go by we watched you grow
Into a lady oh so keen
You may not be our little girl now
But YOU the princess is a queen

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.

With Great delight I see right before my eyes
Fluttering her wings once and again
A Beautiful Butterfly
Her balance a bit unsteady, as she
Spread her wings in flight.
Around and around she circled such
A magnificent sight.
As she gently glides toward me, a closer
Look I then could see,
Such a colorful beauty, A Painted Lady
I'm sure is she.
Her colors of Gold and Yellow layered
Upon her back.
And as she fluttered up and down,
I see her wings are spotted black.
I slowly stretch my arms out front,
In slow motion she gently begin to land.
A beauty of Gods creation sitting upon my hand.
So if you see a Radiant Butterfly, enjoy the
Wonders of her flight,
She's come to land upon your hand,
She's a Painted Lady Butterfly

How can we doubt God's wondrous love
And see a pure white flying dove.
A ray of sunshine from the sky
A tiny baby peacefully lies.
See the puffy clouds among the blue
And watch the golden poppies bloom.
Hear the charming song the blue birds sing
The joy and laughter little children bring,
A loving smile on someone's face
A rainbow appearing anyplace.
How can we doubt God's wondrous love

May we learn about Jesus and his time here on earth,
Understand his crucifixion and the miracle of his birth

May we read bible scriptures his word to obey
To use as a guide all the time day by day

Have church hymns to sing enough to fill up our souls
May we always seek righteousness for our spirit to be whole

Have God's blessings by numbers, have abundance of faith
Have convictions not many through God's saving grace

Say prayers to help others don't forget the amens
Find amazing guidance from God's loving hands

May we have praise in our hearts and rejoice in God's love
And seek our salvation from our Savior above.

J-Is for Jesus he died for our sins
E-Is for Eternal life his promise to give
S-Is for Son of God the father of man
U-Is for United with him some day
S-Is for Savior the one who saves

C-Is for Christ he walked among man
H-Is for Heaven up above where he lives
R-Is for Resurrection he arose one day
I-Is for Immanuel he was also named
S-Is for Salvation someday will be mine
T-Is for Teacher to all mankind

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.
