I would love to share with you a Poem I wrote, that I will be making into a Song which will be on the Gospel Album that I plan on creating.

SEEKING FORGIVENESS
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2008

Lord, I'm a Sinner, please forgive me of my Sins today,
And walk by my side, so I don't go astray
My Journey in my Life as I walk that long and rocky road
You have always been with me to help me bear the heavy load

Lord, please help me to win the Battle that is deep within my Soul
Please help to give me the Will to Achieve my Goal;
With my Hands together in Prayer,
Lord, send down an Angel to watch over me with Loving Care

Lord, I will always Love you, deep within my Heart
And I know that you'll never let us be apart
'Cause you Love me and you'll always guide me
To my Final Destiny

When my Life on Earth is done
And my Longtime Battle has been Won
I will be forever with you in your Kingdom in the Sky
And be free from all worries as each new day passes by.

This is a Very Special Prayer that I Wrote for all our Military Troops.

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2007

Lord, please watch over our Troops and help them to Win the Fight
In their Dark Adventures, be their Guiding Light
Give them Strength to endure the loss of their Special Soldier Friends
Surround them with your Love which is Everlasting and never ends
Let them be aware of the Danger that lurks everywhere
Be ever ready to listen to every Prayer
Let them always know that you are at their side
And give your Special Blessings and Mercy to those that have Died
Help them carry their Heavy Artillery and to be very watchful for the Foe
Keep their Spirits up when they are feeling low
Help them be patient as each day passes by
As they wait to hear from their Loved Ones who Write a Loving Message as they cry
Let them hold their heads high with Pride
This is the day they are going Home to be by their Loved One's side.

These are the Poems that will be going on my Gospel Album.

JESUS, OUR LEADER

Let us follow in Jesus's Footsteps - He is our Leader and our Guiding Light
He is always with us - our Star - shining ever so bright
Living every day is so worthwhile
He will walk with you - every Step - every Mile

Sing and Rejoice, and Praise our Lord every day!
Kneel down, and take out time to Pray
He is our Shepherd, always watching over his Flock
He will always open His door to you - all you need to do - is knock

Come and Worship with me in the House of the Lord
He is our Strength, our Staff and our Rod
We will all meet each other in His Kingdom up above
And we will be forever adorned with God's Love

Sing and Rejoice, and Praise our Lord every day!
Kneel down, and take out time to Pray
Let Him come into your Soul and your Loving Heart
Be United with Him, and you both will never part.

HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST
By: Shirley Ruth Caron

Jesus is our Salvation! He watches over us Day and Night!
Denounce Satan! God will help us Win the Fight!
Put your Hands together and Sing, "Hosanna In The Highest!"
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord, "Hosanna In The Highest!"

Start every Day with a Prayer to our Lord
Let us follow His Footsteps where He has trod
Shed your Tears - He Died for us and was Nailed to a Cross
Glorify Him! He shed Tears of Blood, oh, what a Loss.

Dance with Joy - He is at our side forever
Time is precious, He helps us with our every Endeavor
He is our Guiding Light that shines on us from up above
He will lift us up to Heaven and fill us with His Eternal Love.

COME HOME TO GOD
By: Shirley Ruth Caron

Listen to Children as they play
Or to Babies in their Cribs as they lay
Very Tiny with Hearts so Pure
Ever so Precious and oh, so Sure

Many grow up and go their way
A Family they'll raise and have their say
Keeping thoughts of their Parents - either Mean or Kind
Eventually molds a pattern within their Mind

So they can copy or change the kind of Adults they'll be
Tempers fly in Homes where God cannot be their Destiny
His presence denied by Parents that have no Care
Evil reigns here - they Drink and they Swear

When Children grow up in Homes full of Sin
Or Orphans who know not who is the next of their Kin
Rebelling is natural for so many Children like this
Love, they know not, nor a Mother's Tender Kiss

Demons possess them - and cause them to Hate
God hears all their Prayers - it is never too late
Or Tears that they shed in the Dead of the Night
Rebound in His Glory, His Love and His Might

Oh, Children of God, both Young and Quite Old
Understand that He Loves you - He knows why you're Bold
Now is the time - to seek your Reward
Denounce Evil Stan - and come Home to God!

WHEN THE WORLD CAN LIVE AS ONE
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2007

When the World can Live as One, regardless of their Race
We can open up our Minds, and learn at a quicker Pace
Discover new and different ways to lend a helping hand
Both here at Home and also in a Distant Foreign Land

Russia has become our Friend, Germany dropped her Wall
Amazing trends are taking shape, so let's get on the Ball
The colors that my Eyes have seen, the Amber Waves of Grain
Fields of Lush shining Emerald Green, that sparkle in the Rain

So many things we all can share if we just try to Care
Hatred never has been fair, nor the Ignorance that we Bear
America stands for all that is Good, at least we think it should
If we can open up our Hearts - it could, don't you think it would?

America belongs to all of us, the Rich - the Poor - the White and Black
The Pilgrims wanted Freedom for everyone - they never did look back
They shared their First Thanksgiving - Freedom for One and All
The Planted Tree of Freedom stood so tall - too bad it had to fall

Diseases spread throughout it's Roots, Racist was it's Name
Nurtured by the Rains of Discrimination, oh, it's such a Shame.

GOD IS LIGHT
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2007

We are all Children of God - let us walk in His Light
Let us fly with Him to the Heavens like a Peaceful Dove in Flight
Let us share His Love and Mercy with everyone on Earth
Let us never forget the Glory and Goodness of our Saviour's Birth

He is our Salvation! Praise Him Night and Day!
Should you get lost, He will show the way
He will Feed you when you Hunger and give you Drink when you Thirst
He is Everything we could ever need - in our Daily Lives, let us put Him First

I Adore my Lord and Saviour with all my Heart
We are United as One, and we will never part
I look forward to being with Him in His Kingdom in the Sky
There will be Eternal Joy! There will be no reason to cry.

ALL ARE WELCOME
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2007

"Come inside the House of the Lord," "All are welcome in
this Place!"
All People are our Sisters and Brother, in whom you'll
see our Saviour's Face
Let us Worship together every day and Sing and Rejoice
Between Good and Evil - our Lord is our Choice!

"Let's hold Hands while in Prayer to our Lord!"
Lift up our Hearts of Love and Sincerity to our Blessed
Saviour, our One, True God
Listen reverently to the Word of the Lord
And follow in His Footsteps - where His Feet have trod

"Pray for Peace and Unity among all Nations!"
Remember to keep in touch with all of your Relations
Do not be ashamed to shed a Tear, there will always be
someone nearby to comfort you
If we should ever go astray, our Lord will not forsake us-
His Love for us is Everlasting and True.

A SPECIAL BLESSING
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2006

I Love my God, my Church, my Holy Family,
and my Country which has been endowed with such
Beauty and Love
When I lift my Heart in Prayer to my Lord, He sends
down His Spirit and Radiance in the form of a Snow-White
Dove
My Heart weeps for the People (especially those Families
in my Church - The Good Shepherd Catholic Church) that Suffer with the Agony of Cancer
Every time I see them, I reach out my Arms and envelope
them with a Hug, and during Mass, I say some Special
Prayers for them to find an Inspiring Answer.

My God - He is so Great and Merciful!

I use to be in a Wheelchair because my Legs did not have strength enough to walk
My Lord has lifted me up out of the Chair on Wheels.
I can take every Step with Pride knowing that he is my Rock
I will be forever grateful all my Days, and I will shout
to the World of the Goodness of the Lord!
I am so happy to be able to follow the Path that He has
trod!

I conquered all my Pain and Suffering with the Love and
Comfort from my Lord, my Loving Husband Michael, and all
my Holy Family!

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2006

God sent His only Begotten Son to save the World from Corruption and Sin
With the Lord by our side, we will never lose a Battle - we will always Win
He is Kind and Merciful and is Slow to Anger
He watches over us and protects us from all Harm and Danger

Let us lift up our Voices and Sing and Rejoice!
Between Good or Bad - we must make a Choice
Let us strive to be Good - help our Lord be content with us
Open up our Hearts to Him in Prayer and Dedication, and when Troubles arise - let us not complain or fuss

His Son, Jesus was Crucified because of Hateful People that wrongly judged Him
He was without Sin, yet they cast Stones at Him - during this time, Life must have looked so dim
I tremble when I think about the torture He went through
His Heart Bleeding - the Halo of Thorns upon His Head - the Wounds left from the Nails in His Hands and Feet - the Pain that he bore for Me and for You.

Let us kneel down before Him and show Him that we Care
Read the Bible to your Children, and let them know that our Heavenly Father is everywhere!

OUR BLESSED MOTHER
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2006

She is our Advocate to turn to in Prayer
She opens up her Heart to us when we are in Despair
She is always there with her Loving and Kind Ways
She is so Blessed with God's Mercy and Love which
She so Graciously Portrays.

Holding Baby Jesus - our Newborn King - in her Arms
We all Rejoice, open our Hearts to Him and Sing Psalms
Our Blessed Mother is a Special Image to Behold
She is always standing by with her Arms unfold.

Her Face is so Pure - her Eyes are so Blue - they glisten
Her Voice is so Heart-Warming - to her Words we should listen
Kneel down before her with Reverence and an Open Heart
While shedding Tears - ask for her Forgiveness before you depart.

LENTEN SEASON
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2006

Lenten Season is a Special Time for all
We get ourselves prepared for Forgiveness from our Lord
We dedicate our Time to Prayer and waiting for His Call
There is no doubt in my Mind - He is our One, True God

Jesus is our Ruler and His Kingdom has no end
Even though we may not abide by His Rules, He will
always be our Closest Friend
Everyone! Lift your Hearts in Prayer!
Rejoice! Dance with Joy - God's Grace and Love is everywhere!

Kneel down in Prayer and ask the Lord to have Mercy on us
His Love is Divine - He is Slow to Anger - He is Kind and Gracious
He Suffered and Died for us to save the World from Sin
Tears roll down my cheeks when I see how He's bled for
me, and I will Purify my Soul and will forever Praise Him.

LOST SOULS
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2005

God Loves us - One and All!
He is our Shepherd - we should Answer to His Call
Pray to Him for strength to endure all of Life's Stress
and Pain
Live One Day at a time and live it to the fullest - you will have a lot to gain

Even though we may go astray, the Good Lord holds us close to His Heart
Kneel down and repent for Forgiveness of all your Sins and make a Brand New Start
We must Pray for all the "Lost Souls" who are seeking for Love, Mercy, and Friendship with our Lord
When you see these Lonely People, invite them to Worship in the House of God.

PRAY FOR PEACE ON EARTH
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2005

"We must lift up our Hearts to the Lord in Prayer,
And Pray for Peace, everywhere!"
There is too much Violence and Crime in the Street
Our Children must be saved from all Harm and Deceit

"We must stand firm with one another, and help God
save this World!"
Our Enemies, we must encounter with Arms unfurled
They also are created equal, but, they have fallen into
an Endless Pit
Their Hearts are Heavy-Laden with the Evil Destruction
that devours them, so, they become desperate.

"Behold!" "We must Congregate, and Preach the Word of the
Lord!"
Set a Good Example for our Enemies by helping them open
their Hearts and Minds,
And listen to the Voice of God.

OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL
By: Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2005

The Lord sends down from Heaven a Special Guardian Angel
to watch over us and keep us safe from Harm
A Guardian Angel is for all of us - Young and Old - they
are so Holy with the Halos above their Heads and they are
so Blessed with an over abundance of Charm
I Love the Garments they wear and their Wings which spread
out so far
Look up to Heaven above and make a Wish upon a Star.

Whenever we're in Trouble, our Angel is always there
Just open your Hearts and call to them - they will be
with you when you're shedding Tears of Despair
Be Happy - put a Smile on your Face - your Guardian Angel
is walking by your side
Believe in God and Obey His Ten Commandments, and you
will receive your Wings and with Him forever you shall
abide.
