Jac Judy A. Campbell

On a crowded street I saw him
On a corner close to home
His walk was long and steady
He wore your style of clothes.

I saw his muscles through his shirt
His shoulders about your size
Yet from the back his shape was yours
And he swayed from side to side.

As he turned my way he saw me
His look then caught my stare
Upon his head he wore a hat,
And there was silver in his hair.

His face is tanned, his eyes are blue
Upon his lips set a mustache too,
Oh did I forget to mention
He looks a lot like you.

He strolled into our coffee shop
He took your favorite chair,
And as he turned to greet me
I imagined you were there.

As our chit-chat became flirtatious
His charm was so much you,
I found myself inside his arms
Our dreams were all but few

As the evening found the morning
And each one's passion grew
I fixed myself around him and
The love was all but new.

Yet  in my midnight dreams I found you
Because he felt so much like you
Oh did I forget to mention
He looked a lot you

The Poet In Me

I'm just a simple writer
  I use not fancy words
I only write what's in my head
  With words from the old school
I like to tell some stories
   Some tales and even more
Of my own true life happenings
      That I have kept in store.
I like to write a poem or two
  And try to rhyme a verse
And if it sounds a little silly,
Then it won't be the first
I'm just a common person
   A poet now it seems,
If that's a fact I'll gladly accept
  The challenge of my dreams.
I'll keep on writing when I can
  To share some tales and woes
And hopefully the poems you read
  Will be a comfort to your soul.
The world will never rejoice or sing,
  Nor will I win a golden globe
But I will always be content
To pen what's in my heart and soul

May we learn about Jesus and his time here on earth,
Understand his crucifixion and the miracle of his birth

May we read bible scriptures his word to obey
To use as a guide all the time day by day

Have church hymns to sing enough to fill up our souls
May we always seek righteousness for our spirit to be whole

Have God's blessings by numbers, have abundance of faith
Have convictions not many through God's saving grace

Say prayers to help others don't forget the amens
Find amazing guidance from God's loving hands

May we have praise in our hearts and rejoice in God's love
And seek our salvation from our Savior above.

The things I love about you
Aren't going away with age.
You will still calm me down,
Perk me up, get me excited,
and drive me crazy.
It's not how handsome you are,
Or how you look in your clothes
It's seeing your smile when we meet
after a long day apart,
It's the wink you give me from
Across the room.
The special excitement of keeping
It all brand new.
It's not the silver in your hair,
Or the hat or tie you wear,
It's the pat of affection as I pass by
It's the laughter when we share a joke,
It's sneaking around with you having a rendezvous
It's the sweetness in your voice,
It's being there when you're needed
And the loneliness when you're not,
It's sitting beside you watching a baseball game.
It's the snugs and hugs in the middle of the night
The things I love about you
Aren't going away with age.

You came to us as a Princess
A pretty Granddaughter baby girl
So full of love and laughter
A sparkling diamond in this world

You were Unicorns and Rainbows
Smiles and giggles from the start
A beautiful ray of sunshine
You captured our lives and heart

We had play days together
Sleep overs and tea party's too
Dance rehearsals dressed all in pink
So adorable that was you.

As years go by we watched you grow
Into a lady oh so keen
You may not be our little girl now
But YOU the princess is a queen
