"Dede's
Reflections"
Lead By God
I wanted to be a
counselor
After a given point
in my life
But my heart would
just ache
Listening daily to
all that strife
By the time I
realized this
I had too many other
priorities
I've always admired
these people
Who have patience
listening to stories
Listening sometimes
for an hour
Some of this must
tug at the heart
I'd get too
emotionally involved
And it would just
tear me apart
God gave me a bundle
of patience
And the ability to
really care
He also made me a
good listener
This quality can be
very rare
Counseling went by
the wayside
But love for others
came on strong
So God kept sending
us more family
One after another
they came along
First it was our own
children
There are seven of
them in all
Then twenty-seven
years of foster children
This has certainly
been God's call
Now we have acquired
even more
Fifteen
grandchildren & five great-grandchildren
And they still just
keep coming
What a true
blessing, so many kin
Thank you Lord, for
the family
For all of them are
such a blessing
We thank You daily,
Dear Lord
And to You, many
praises we sing
