Time to Lose Weight

Christmas is over, New Year is here

My pants are so tight

It’s the scale I fear

 It’s time to lose weight

I know you can relate

I need to stop eating

Everything on my plate

This is the month a really hate

No more gravy, turkey or ham

Say goodbye to my favorite candy yam

No more chips and dips

 And yes to celery sticks

I need to start hiking

Moving this body of mine

I’ve crochet enough beanies

But I want to look fine

Christmas is over, New Year is here

It’s time to stop eating that chocolate musketeer

Happy New Year

Get your body moving

I'm Sick ~By Eyvette Sherman~

I’m sick

So, I will sit with mommy and watch a chick flick

I think I have a running nose

There is snot running down from my head to my toes

Achoo, “bless you”

I'm sick

I’m sick

I have a sore throat

I can’t talk so here’s a note

I want some ice cream

Please don’t make me scream

I’m sick

Eyvette Sherman 9 years old

Silly Poem ~This Queen Needs Rest~

Lying in bed feeling lousy

All day feeling drowsy

Body sore and achy

Hands a little shaky

Peace and quiet are my friends

I hope tomorrow I feel better, I guess it depends

I need rest tonight

 Then maybe I’ll be alright

Please no more pain

Lord, I don’t want to complain

I have so much to do

Places to go to

House to clean

This is when I wish I was a queen

Maids to do all the running around

So I can just lie down

In bed, they may serve me a cup of soup

Maybe my favorite ice cream, a BIG scoop

I got to stop wishing

And start dishing

 My kids need to eat

I think in the fridge there is some meat

I hear the kids yelling

They need to stop rebelling

And be quite for just a bit

I’m getting ready to through a fit

Please Lord, come and take me away

I’m so done for today

I pray, LORD, give me the strength to do everything I need

I can’t do anything without You, indeed!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:13

Thank you Honey for taking care of me today.

Precious Gift

I have a very precious gift

But

Don’t touch it

Until I give it to you

Don’t shake it

Until I give it to you

Don’t peek

Until I give it to you

Don’t unwrap it

Until I give it to you

Don’t squeeze it

Until I give it to you

It’s very special and it’s for your eyes only

I need you to take good care of it for the rest of your life

I will give it to you on your wedding day

My gift to you will be my daughter or son

I take good care of them

I pray for them

I feed them

I look after them

I protect them

I teach them

I love them

I do everything for them

And

I expect you to do the same

Or

I will be coming after you!

Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

Song of Solomon 8:4

Yard Sale

I will sell

Clothes, books, and toys

Things I once enjoyed

I search the house for whatever I can sell

I will yell……YARD SALE!

Who wants an overstuffed blue whale?

This may seem funny

I need the extra money

 Christmas is coming fast

Someone please buy, I ask

New clothes, book, and toys

Things that will brings you some joys

Until next year

 When I yell in your ear

YARD SALE

"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

 Ecclesiastes 1:2

Silly Poem~Nothing to Write~

Sitting here with nothing to write about

Thinking and thinking and kind of pooped out

What do you write about when you have nothing to say?

I can write about the day

Or how to fly away

How about ballet

Or my daughter's essay

How about I try

 To write about the sky

Or a tough guy

How about an apple pie

I can write about love

Love from above

Or a white dove

How about a boxing glove

I really don’t know what to write

So I guess I will say, "Goodnight"

 

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Proverbs 10:19

Silly Poem ~Reach Out~

life can be so lonely at times not knowing what to do or think

 believing and saying life really does stink

what do people do all day?

just watch TV or play games

or sit around and call each other names

look out the window and stare

locked up in the house

watching the cat chase a mouse

no one to talk to

no one to share

does anyone really care?

i can see why people get depressed

just alone and no one around

sitting and gaining another pound

how long would it take for someone to see?

 to reach out and make a call

make someone’s day change, all and all

it will bring a smile to their face

knowing that someone really cares

 knowing God answered their prayers

a smile, a hug, a laugh, a touch

they can feel and know

you love them this much

reach out and make a call!

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another

John 13:34

Silly Poems ~Where Do Butterflies Live~

I dream of going where butterflies go

Free to fly anywhere the wind may blow

No worries, no cares, no burdens to bear

 Just free to fly high in the big blue sky

Where do butterflies live?

I dream of flying high in the big blue sky

Touching the clouds and waving goodbye

Free to fly anywhere the wind may blow

Looking at everything down below

Where do butterflies live?

I wonder if butterflies laugh and smile

Looking at me being silly, once in awhile

I love to laugh and dream of things

Dreaming I could fly and have beautiful butterfly wings.

Butterflies live in my silly poems and dreams!


A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Proverbs 17:22

Silly Poem ~Daydreaming~

Forgetting always gets me lost

I seem to be daydreaming

 And it comes with a cost

I forget where I park my car

I always seem to park it too far

I miss my exit on the freeway

It doesn’t matter, night or day

I always seem to burn dinner

Maybe I’ll get a little thinner

I forget my children’s names

Josh, John, Jerry, oh yea, James

I’m late picking up my kids

I hope they don’t flip their lids

Daydreaming can be so much fun

As long as I don’t forget and get everything done

I wonder, what am I suppose to be doing now?

I don’t know…….. But ciao!

I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have given me life.

Psalms 119:93

Silly Poem ~Do You Wish~

Do you wish time would fly by?

Do you wish time would slow down?

Do you wish you were alone?

Do you wish people were around?

Do you wish you had something to do?

Do you wish you had nothing to do?

Do you wish you could go to sleep?

Do you wish you could stay awake?

Do you wish you were fishing at the lake?

Do you wish you could change things?

Do you wish you had big rings?

Do you wish you were married?

Do you wish you were single?

Do you wish you could sing a great jingle?

If you had one wish what would to wish for?

Because I’m getting tired of wishing

And this poem is becoming a bore.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content

Philippians 4:11

Silly Poem ~Complainers~

I can’t wait for this weekend,

It will be so much fun.

I have lots of friends,

Who love me a ton.

I’m such a great person

And they know I’m always right,

So me and my friends, you’ll never see us fight.

I hope we have dinner

And it better be good,

I will let the waiter know

The food was terrible, understood?

I hope we see a good movie,

One that I picked and liked

Or I will definitely go on strike.

We have to have coffee and eat some cake

Or I will let them know they are making a big mistake.

Ring, Ring ,Ring

 Hello, 

WHAT?

I guess my weekend will have to wait.

Friends!

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts.

Jude 1:16

Silly Poem ~Oh Me Oh My~

Oh me oh my

Another day went by

Sitting in this chair, PJs I still wear

Oh me oh my

I guess another day went by

With me in this chair

Out the window I stare

Oh me oh my

I think I’m going to eat piece of pie

Sitting here in this chair

It’s time for me to say goodbye

I need to get a life!

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

James 1:27



Silly Poem ~Ugly Stinky Feet~

My kids think feet are ugly and stink.

I ask, “Why do you think?”

Some people’s feet look like hands,

Especially if you look at Ann’s.

Fingers that call themselves toes,

Some people use them to pick their nose.

Can you imagine eating with those?

Dirty looking feet,

Running around the street,

Trying to be discrete.

Some are hairy

And look kind of scary.

Some are big

And look like a guinea pigs.

Some are small,

Look like they came from a brawl.

Some feet smell, I run and yell,

AIR!

All I know is my kids think feet are ugly and stink,

I think they are beautiful and unique.

How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good [things], Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Isaiah 52:7



I Found a Snake - by Eyvette Sherman

 My mom had me wash the window on the front door

Then she had me scrub the kitchen floor

During that time of my cleaning

 I heard a snore.

Mom, wake, I found a snake

That got her up and awake.

Written by my 9 year old daughter, Eyvette Sherman. 

Silly Poem ~Mr. Elf~

 Mr. Elf, you’re not fair

Every time I get to the light

You seem to turn it red and bright.

I sit forever waiting in my car,

Mr. Elf, I have places to go that are really far.

Please turn the light green,

And stop being mean.

Do you run from red light,

  To green light,

To yellow?

Or just sit at the red light

And laugh at me, fellow.

Do you have a family of three,

Papa Elf,

Mamma Elf,

And

Baby Elf

Watching me

Sitting all by myself?

I have no time for this,

Off I go,

Blow you a kiss.

Good bye!

Now I hear sirens,

I have to stop

And explain about Mr. Elf

To the cop.

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Romans 13:1

Dedicated to my daughter Jade, who thought elves lived in the signal lights.

Silly Poem ~My Husbands Other Love~

She sits at his feet,

She follows him around.

Comes when he calls

And loves to play ball.

She brings him his slippers

He says, “My good dog, Skipper.”

As I suspect, he thinks she is perfect.

She knows he’s the master,

But I say, “What a disaster.”

I will never sit at his feet

Or follow him around.

I don’t come when he calls,

Or even play ball.

As you suspect, I’m not perfect,

 But I don’t care.

I’m sure he knows,

And is aware,

I have another love too.

He is there when I call,

He hates to play ball,

He remembers

Everything I say,

He will never stray.

My faithful love,

I have him hooked,

Yes, his name

 is

Notebook.

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.

Matthew 19:6

Friends, I know this is a silly poem about a husband and wife, but please remember a marriage relationship is very special. No other relationship, not with parent or child or friend, is to supersede the bond between husband and wife. Marriage is a commitment made to God and your partner. Ask the LORD to help you to always be faithful and in love with your spouse.
