Marquita Lawson Poems

He gave you arms to hold me up when I am falling down
He gave you lips to cheer me up when storms are all around
He gave you songs to fill me up when words will never do
For this family, oh Father I thank you!
...

Without You, there'd be no sunlight in the skies
Without You, there'd be no twinkle in my eyes
Without You, there'd be no butterflies without You
...

Father You are Glory;
Brighter than the sun
I will tell your story;
'till all my days are done
...

With the light of dawn each morning
There's a joy deep in my heart
'Cause Jesus saved my soul and set me free, Halleluiah!
There are no chains that bind me
...

Holy Spirit come now fill us with Your grace
Touch our hearts and calm our minds
as we gather in this place to worship You.
...

Dear Lord I am troubled today
Please guard whatever I say
Let my brothers and sisters know
Because of You I love them so
...

Monday morning - Nine O'clock - coffee going cold
Just sitting here thinking about our plans for growing old.
We dreamed that we would travel more to places never seen
And take long walks along the beach & watch the waves roll in.
...

Well, I tossed and turned the whole night through;
finally fell asleep around four
‘Bout an hour heard a pretty tune
from the radio by the door
...

A young girl watched her daddy leave
With his suitcase in his hand
She asked, “Daddy, why ya leavin’? ”
He said, “Darlin, someday you’ll understand”.
She called “Daddy
...

She sings for her meals and some change to get by
Who she is she doesn’t want you to know
So she covers her face with burgundy lace
To hide all her shame don’t you know?
