Three Short Poems

By Gay Brown

Life is like a Yo-Yo

Life is like a yo-yo
sometimes spinning round
sometimes hanging by a thread
as we go up and down
but when we're on that up-hill climb
and don't think life's too grand
always remember this one thing
we're in the MASTER"S HAND!

Stop and Think

Never is a long time
be careful what you say
don't break the ties that bind you
you might just go astray

Remember to say words
that will comfort and relay
the very thoughts right from your heart
when you kneel down to pray

words in anger spoken
can cut you like a knife
please stop and think
before you speak
As you go through this life

Can Do!

God Speaking:
Look at my man so and so
I know he is can-do
Through all his tribulations
His faith comes shining through
Tho sometimes things may get him down
He gets right up again
He girds his loins to meet the test
No matter what the pain
