On A Cloudy Day
By Shirley R. Fluharty

A cloudy day

Can bring joy to your heart

For it holds the rain

That help the flowers start

And behind each cloud

The sun hangs true

And it will shine brightly

For me and you

A cloudy day

Can bring peace to your mind

For it's there your eyes drift

When a gray skys behind

And you know so soon

That the suns bright rays

Will bring joy and happiness

In your path this day

For tho clouds dim the light

Of a brand new day

Standing right behind

Is God's love displayed

Treasured Memories
By Shirley R. Fluharty

I'm treasuring memories

As I sit here alone

Of a precious dear loved one

My Lord has called home

And I think of the times

Then so little was I

When I'd sit on her lap

As she'd soften my cry

Then she'd tell me a story

Bring a smile to my face

As I cuddle up tightly

In her arms full of grace

Then she'd brush off the damages

Give a pat full of love

And off I would scramble

With just a slight shove

Yes I'm treasuring memories

As I sit here alone

For I kow that God needs here

To spread love 'round His throne

So tho I will miss her

There's a piece of her here

For it will live on in her children

God gave her so dear.

Send Me A Miracle
By Shirley R. Fluharty

Send me a miracle

Could you send it today

For this one precious child

In this bed where she lay

Put in all the new parts

That are needed for her

Cause the doctors have said

That a miralce could occur

And you said in Your Word

What I ask in Your name

Could be done here on earth

For those hurt or in pain

So, Oh, Lord please hear

And put life all anew

In that precious child

That she'd grow to praise You

And send me a miracle

Could you send it today

For this one percious child

In this bed where she lay

Sisters
By Shirley R. Fluharty

What does a sister mean to me
As a babe, she's precious as can be
To hold and cuddle, she'll smile and coo
As she looks in your face, with big eyes of blue
And as years progress and we older get

We play, play together the time well spent

Until one day in an awful way

We disagree on how to play

But soon the anger to disappear

And loving eyes again so dear

Then full grown is our way of life

With children now each day a wife

Still sisters we and all can see

Her love for me and mine for she

Oh sisters, what they mean to me

A lasting love and friend is she

And I thank my Lord

That He sent to be

A special sister just for me

My Family
By Shirley R. Fluharty

Oh my family
That God gave to me
Oh so many years ago
And I know He loved me from the start
For he filled with love my heart
Oh our moms are special
With gentleness
And our fathers arms so strong
But I'm thankful most
'Bout His name I'll boast
For my Jesus made my family.

I'll Walk the Walk
By Shirley R. Fluharty

I'll walk the walk that Jesus chose

For my family and me

I'll pray for guidance, love and peace

As His calling now I see

I'll walk the walk that Jesus chose

Tho doubt may fill the day

I'll not look back or question why

He'd have me go this way

I'll walk the walk that Jesus chose

With joy deep in my heart

Tho sadness of my leaving friends

Who've come to be a part

I'll walk the walk that Jesus chose

With joyfulness and glee

And thankfulness now fills my heart

That my God still uses me

A Special Girl
By Shirley R. Fluharty

My daughter's been a special girl

A big part of my life

I watched her grow from a little girl

To a loving caring wife

She always seemed so strong to me

Her fears were not intent

She married very young in life

Her days they were well spent

A little girl upon my lap

It seems so long ago

We used to hug and cuddle here

As we watch the falling snow

She'd look right up into my eyes

A big smile cheek to cheek

Then tiny fingers on my lips

A gentle kiss she'd seek

We'd rock, I'd sing a lull-a-bye

Her eyes they flutter close

As sleepy eyed this child so fair

My kiss upon her nose

And quietly now I lay her down

So precious as she sleep

My prayer, Dear Lord in Heaven now

Protect and her soul keep

Yes my daughter's been a special girl

A big part of my life

And not a single day goes by

That I don't thank God for her life

In Between

By Shirley R. Fluharty

I'm in between the there and here

And wonder how life's path did wear

How you could go thru half your life

So full of joy and full of strife

Then fix your eyes on life today

And wonder how it got that way

For once just like a chandelier

My life was bright and full of cheer

But as I trod the path of life

Each day another day of strife

So gradual, one could hardly tell

These days of strife were hidden well

And then one day a bulb went out

But wasn't noticed, cause the light was stout

And each day after, another grew dim

Yet no one even noticed Him

Until one day it was quite clear

There was no light from the chandelier

Now my life, like the chandelier

That once shown bright and oh so clear

Seems dark with bulbs that need replacing

For brand new life I now am facing

But thru God's grace, each day on cue

He'll replace each bulb, with one brand new

Until my life again peer's bright

To all the world, like Jesus' light

I'll live my life for all to see

That Jesus Christ lives life thru me

And just like that old chandelier

My light shines bright and oh so clear

Let your light shine before men in such a way,

that they may see your good works

and glorify your Father who is in Heaven

Matthew 5:16




And I was daily His delight Proverbs 8:30
