Prayer Before Birth

I am not yet born; O hear me.
Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the
club-footed ghoul come near me.

That is the difference between me and you.
You pack an umbrella, #30 sun goo
And a red flannel shirt. That's not what I do.
I put the top down as soon as we arrive.
The temperature's trying to pass fifty-five.
I'm freezing but at least I'm alive.
Nothing on earth can diminish my glee.
This is Florida, Florida, land of euphoria,
Florida in the highest degree.
You dig in the garden. I swim in the pool.
I like to wear cotton. You like to wear wool.
You're always hot. I'm usually cool.
You want to get married. I want to be free.
You don't seem to mind that we disagree.
And that is the difference between you and me.
A Heart Of Love

A heart of love is pure and kind.
It knows no evil ways.
It's jealous not, nor proud in mind.
Its patience never fails.
A heart of love will suffer long
And bear all piercing pain.
It forgives and gives all lifelong,
Waits not for any gain.
Its manners good, a hopeful love,
So faithful and so true.
Its very root is from above,
The Lord who sees us through.
May each of us desire this heart,
A heart of love divine.
From Christ-like love, let's not depart.
It's true love best defined.
My Foolish Dog

My dog is quite hip
Except when he takes a dip
He looks like a fool
when he jumps in the pool
and reminds me of a sinking ship!
