Granny Speaks!
The first poem, on this page, was written 20 plus years
ago when my first
grandchild was born. She was and still is the apple of
my eye.
Thank you Lord for my beautiful grand daughter.
In Heaven, the angels hold all babies to God while they are written in the Book of Life.
Parents, ask God for the wisdom and knowledge in teaching your children.
Ask God to show you the way to train your child in the way he should go, and when he is older, he will not depart from it.
Parents, ask God for the wisdom to show you how to teach your little one how to face the evil of the world and to stay close to God.
I pray when you read this you will realize that the little
baby you brought home
is a blessing and a joy and should be reasured with all
of your heart.
MY GRANDCHILD
.jpg)
Over the span of many miles
On a cold, brisk day
A voice, Happy and Bright, cried
"Mom, you have a Grandchild!"
Oh what joy, what happiness
A Grandchild!! My first!!
Almost like an afterthought
"Son, was it a Boy or a Sweet Miss?"
A Girl with hair of brown and eyes of blue
With love in my heart, I cried
Thinking of the bundle of joy
My little baby, will I ever see you?
The time will swiftly fly by
Taking those "Firsts" along the way
The weeks turn into months then year
Missing first smile, word, spill and cry
But low and behold the day will come
When Grandma and Grandchild come face to face
My little Angel hides behind Daddy's leg
Dear God, will she cry, hold back, show fear?
Oh what beauty, Father, Mother each
Shining from this Angel, looking so sweet
Eyes so huge, her whole soul gleams through
From bud-shaped mouth flows a speech
In my arms I'll swing her so high
I'll kiss her, and make her blush
Maybe not meaning, wanting no harm
I'll hug too tightly and make her cry
Dear God, as a Grandmother, help me be
Gentle, stern, loving and ever so kind
To understand her parents wish and plea
A love for one another, not forced, but free.

God gave us these little babies to fulfill His plans and
hopes to help His
people be happy and feel blessed.
Parents, hold your children close to your heart as they
grow up, and with
God your family will stay close.

God is always there for you whenever you need him. Pray
for guidance
and wisdom and He will answer.
No matter where you live, with God you will have a strong
love for each
other and your family will grow in faith and wisdom.
The Cabin Of Love
Beautiful colors glow from ambers
Snapping from the log fire
Casting pictures of mystery
Each of different shape and attire
The walls of the cabin looks
So warm and caring
Dancing with years of love
Of God and child bearing
So many hours have been spent
Bible reading by light
Knowing God is ever so present
At this lonesome frontier site
Days pass ever so slowly
With nary a one to speak
But with the warmth and peace
Love lingers making you meek
Oh what love has passed
Below this roof of mud
What a beautiful sight
We see in the fields speckled in bud
I'm so glad God gave
Me the wisdom of verse
As I watch His hand Paint
Colors in His great universe

Life is like climbing a mountain, As you climb up the
narrow path you come
to a place where you need someone to give you a hand.
If you let the Lord
take your hand, he will guide you safely to the top.
The Star
Off in the distance afar
Draped in a robe of white
Topped with a crown of clouds
A mountain reaches to a Star
Light's glimmer at its base
Like jewel's sparkling in the sun
Tree's, like children, with arm's high
Waving their limb's with grace
Winding up the mountain side
Road's with dangerous curves
Many pitfall's along the way
Dear Heart, with our Lord we abide
Take His hand, hold it fast
He will guide us safely on
Around the pitfall's and the curve's
Together we reach the Star at last

When the day comes to walk with the Lord in God's Garden
I pray my
loved ones will be happy for me knowing some day they
may also
walk with God in his Garden.
In God's Garden
Dear Lord, on Earth my day's are past
My time to depart has come at last
Take my hand and bring me home
In God's Garden, with thee, I wish to roam
Thy light will always shine bright
Oh Dear Lord what a wonderful sight
What Joy, Peace and Happiness this will be
Dear Lord, what Greatness I will see
No more pain, heartache or tears
If you listen, Angel's will send up cheer's
No tears, Loved ones, for I am home
In God's Garden, with my Lord, I will roam
Elnora Watters
Looking around we can see all of the beauty God has given
us to enjoy
Even watching a simple Ant or a beautiful Butterfly,
we can marvel over
all of the colors he has created.
At Night Fall
As I watched I saw colors blend
The sky turned many red shades
Like a painter mixing his paint
Catching the beauty before it fades
After a while all was dark and gray
As a peace falls over the land
I searched the sky to find a star
Hoping to grasp it firmly in my hand
I heard the night birds singing
As fire flies light up the sky
I glanced up and saw the moon
Full and bright, hanging ever so high
The stars came out in a great mass
Like jewels sparkling in the sun
Taking shape of a dipper and milky way
Reminding me of when the universe began
Elnora Watters
Before my dad died we talked on the phone and today still
I can hear
the music of his wonderful voice as he told me he loved
me. Listen
and maybe you will be able to hear a loved one's voice
in the wind.
A Voice In the Wind
A voice of a loved one
Drifting across the wind
Whispering sweet words
Not getting lost in a bend
Oh what joy
Hearing that sweet voice
Like music to my ear
Spreading a great rejoice
I know some day soon
It will drift away
But that beautiful memory
In my mind will stay
The wind carries many songs
Sweet and pleasant to the ear
Bringing a comfort in heart
Wiping away any sad tear
So sing on sweet voice
Let the winds carry it along
Blending ever so lovingly
To the Heavens it does belong
by Elnora Watters
At one time or other we need a friend to talk to, we do
not realize there
is one just waiting for you to take His hand. Sit down
and call to Him
and He will be at your side.
Your friend may be a member of your family or a neighbor.
IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME
It's been such a long time
Lord since we sat down and talked
It's no fault of yours
I was the one that balked
It seems time gets away
Never again for us to enjoy
Why do we waste the hours
When there is so much to employ
We look upon the troubled times
Forgetting happiness we have in store
We let satan beat us down
Working us over as in a war
Dear Lord give us a shield
Stand firmly by our side
We are tired of the battle
Lift us in our saddle so we can ride
We know you are with us
But forget to call upon you
Give us strength, wisdom and knowledge
Help us, to you, to always stay true
Elnora Watters
A FRIEND
Isn't it wonderful
To have a sweet friend
Standing ever so present
A smile always to send
If tears we have to shed
A shoulder is there to lend
Or a broken heart from love lost
Your friend will help it mend
I'm so glad my friend is here
Wiping away all my tears
Whispering soothing words of comfort
Calming all my fears
I am so glad I have a friend
They are sometimes so far apart
Many years and miles come between
But memories are there from the start
