Poems by Jac Judy A. Campbell

While on this ride on the road called life
It's best to take it all in stride
Take the good with the bad,
Be joyful when you're sad,
Never forget what you once had
Smile when you're unhappy
Love what you've got,
Let the good times bring music,
And dance a whole lot.
Be quick to forgive, then always forget
Learn from your mistakes with little regret.
Some folks may change, and things will go wrong,
But one thing is certain
God will carry us along

Believe in our Savior
Believe in his ways
Believe what's invariable
For our eternal days
Believe in the heavens
Home of our Lord above
Believe in God's sacrifices
And his eternal love
Believe in God's word
Believe the Bible to be true
Believe God is faithful,
He believes in you

G--Is for Grandsons God's Greatest Gift of all time
R--Is for Rowdiness a lad of just nine
A--Is for Animals your so loving and kind
N--Is for Noble your bright characters always shine through
D--Is for Determined and Daring that's you
S--Is for your Silliness full of fun and joy
O--Is for Only One of a kind boy
N--Is for Nurturing you apply tenderly
S--Is for So Happy you belong to me.

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

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.
