Old scribblings discovered!
Yesterday I said that I didnt have any of my childhood scribblings with me at the moment. I was mistaken this morning as I was clearing out my desk, I discovered a file buried under the mountains of papers. (oops I think I wasnt supposed to admit that!) Its quite annoying when I discover Im not as organised as Id like to think I am. *grin*
So let me post a poem to rival Marks hehehee. This was written when I was 12:
Jesus and Me
Jesus loves me, with me Hell stay
Through the darkness of night and the light of day.
Jesus walks by my side always,
Wherever I go, every single place.
Jesus sends His angels aplenty
To stay by my side and to guide me.
Jesus protects me, I know;
He guards me from every dangerous foe.
Jesus knows my heart deep down,
He uses His hand to wipe away my frown.
Jesus cares about how I feel,
He listens to me as I kneel.
Jesus understands and doesnt chide
He doesnt simply skin my hide.
Jesus is gentle, and He wont yell
To Him my every thought I can tell.
Jesus holds me when Im sad
He comforts me and makes me glad.
Jesus arms are open wide
When Im afraid, in them Ill hide.
Jesus listens when I confide in Him,
He keeps my secrets and I trust Him.
Jesus loves me, the Bible says so;
And the Bible is Gods Word that can never grow old.

And for good measure, heres a funny one:
Ups and Downs
We all have our ups and downs
In our own way were all serious clowns.
There are episodes we wish we could forget
But it just cant be done wanna bet?
Twould be nice if the floor would cooperate
And turn into quicksand before its too late
Though its very fortunate that that doesnt happen
Who wants to disappear just before a celebration?
And though everything went wrong today
(The cake didnt rise and the biscuits were like clay)
You know that Someone was there with you
Coz He said, Ill see you through.
Hes around, too, when youre full of joy
Even when youre admiring your brand-new toy
For Jesus sticks with you through thick and thin
There is no friend whos quite like Him!
