When I first met Aunt Wavy was after Jerry and I got married. She was crippled up with arthritis real bad and in a wheel chair. She has written a bunch of poems and stories. Her family made a book of them and gave Jerry a copy. So I will be using some of them on my web site in memory of Wavy Barnes.

MEEK AND MILD

When I am cross, make me meek and mild,
Make me worthy, Dear Lord, to be your child.
Tell me what you would have me do
And I will do the best I can for You.

I'm not very smart. You know that, Lord,
But teach me someway to spread Your Word.
If I am worthy, let others see
The good you somehow see in me.

Let me help the old and the young.
I'll read them a story, I'll sing them a song.
If I see one smile on a lonely face,
I'll know, Dear God, I've found my place.

You can tell Wavy loved the Lord with all her heart.

Do you know the Lord as your on personal Savior? If not , please give Him your heart today.

Lord please let these poems touch someone's heart today that would lead them to You Lord. Help me Lord to lead someone to Your loving arms. Use me Lord to do Your will.
AMEN

A CORNER OF HEAVEN

In just a little while,
My Savior will be calling me,
To come and be at home with Him
Beyond the Crystal Sea.
I'll walk up to the Pearly Gates
He will hold them open wide.
I'll leave this old sick body
My soul will step inside.
I know I haven't been as good
As He would have me be.
If I'm not worthy of a mansion, Lord,
Just save a corner of Heaven for me.

I'll see family and friends,
I'll heed their beck and call,
But I want to see my Savior
The very first of all.
I could have sung His Praises more
I could have testified
Of how they nailed Him to the cross
Of how He suffered, bled, and died.
I've never been as humble, Lord,
As you wanted me to be.
If I'm not worthy of everything,
Just save a corner of Heaven for me.

I've always loved my Savior
I know He loves me, too,
Although I don't always do the things
He would have me do.
He has never failed me,
He hears my every call.
I would rather have one corner of Heaven
Than have no Heaven at all.
