B is for Boys

Boys into Men

What a wonderful way
For God to begin
The end product
That we call MEN!

Little boys
Start out so small
But love rough and tumble
Don't mind a fall!

They love to climb trees
And flex imaginary muscles
And to keep up with them
You have to hustle!

But what a wonderful thrill
When childhood suddenly ends
And all of a sudden
Our boys have become MEN!

Little Boys Never Walk...

Little boys never walk
Little boys always run
They are in a hurry
To start their daily fun!

Little boys crawl for moments
Before they learn to stand
And ony for an instand
Do they hold onto mommy's hand.

Then they take a first step
Another one ...then two
And from then on it seems as if
Running is all they do!

Only God Could Create a Little Boy

Look at that wonderful creature
That we call a little boy
Only God in Heaven above
Could create such a package of joy!

Who would have thought of all of the things
That occupy a little boys mind?
If we were to look inside his head
What wonderful things would we find?

His imagination when let run free
Lets him wonderous things to see
And he finds joy in all manner of things
From rocket ships to tennis shoestrings!

He can love a puppy dog or a rat
With just as much ease
And when given the opportunity
A little boy loves to please.

Human beings can create
All manner of things to bring joy
But only a wonderful God of love
Could have created a little boy!

Summer Swing

Love those lazy summer days
When the sky is nice and blue
And a favorite tree is there to see
And a tire for a kid to fit through.

A nice tire swing tied up with ropes
Makes a kid's dreams come true
Makes his tears all float away
And his smile coming shining through.

Sunshine and summer fun
All so special to be
Tied up in a rope and a big ole tire
And dangled as a swing from a tree.

Unique Brothers

The two of you
Are friend and brother
But totally unique
And not like the other!

One is tall
The other short’
One laughs with a giggle
The other with a snort.

One has straight hair
The other’s hair is curly
One likes to play sports
And dislikes anything girly!

One of you has an inside voice
That you use when you play
The other one has a booming sound
That can be heard from miles away.

Each of you is so special
That I choke up when I speak
Of how God gave me such great boys
Who are so remarkably unique!

Why God Created Blue

When God created colors
So beautiful and bright
He created lovely hues
For daytime and for night.
He created grass
So lush and green
And browns for earth and
Yellow for spring.
He created pink for little girls
So full of frill and lovely curls
A lovely color, I agree
And fit little girls so perfectly.
But how to define a little boy
Not just any color would do
So God looked around Him at the sky
And decided to create a perfect blue.
For boys, he knew, on a sunny day
On their backs would love to lie
And look up at the awesome sky
To watch the fluffy clouds go by...
And boys would love
To wade in the streams
Splash in brooks, go rafting too
And water reflects the sky so blue.
Boys would scoff at pretty pink
If wrapped in that their hearts would sink
But even a boy our Father knew
Would enjoy just a touch of blue.
