Christmas Poem Dedicated to my Daughter 2012

You think if you had a million dollars

You’d be happy as a clam

But money does not buy happiness

Let’s ask King Solomon

God loved and blessed him with

Wisdom, wealth and all his heart’s desires

But all this stuff he thought would make him happy

Just made him really tired.

And when his life was ending

He found himself alone

His life wasted seeking earthly treasures

Instead of seeking God’s throne.

So child remember as you grow

If every thing you wish for
Isn't underneath the tree

It's because we love you too much to see

You waste this life God gave you

Not being all God intends you to be.

Seek God and Heaven first

In all you say and do

And you will see His blessings overflow

And know God’s promises are TRUE.

So when you get some extra blessings

Pass them on to one without

God promises He’ll refill your pockets

Of this you need not doubt.

For everyone you help

God will keep account

And when you get to Heaven,

He will draw you near and whisper

“Child, I’m proud of you”

And on your head a Crown of Righteousness
He will surely mount.

Written with all my love,

Your Mom Yolanda
