Hello there, I've noticed a couple others posts with poetry on them,so I thought maybe someone would enjoy reading one of mine.I wrote this for my little girl when she was 6 months old(4yrs. now-time flies!). [There is a melody to it,but as I'm just now learning to read music, I haven't figured out the notes yet.]------------

LOOK UNTO JESUS by Tracy J. Neff(for Annie Mae) Look unto Jesus!Oh let thine eyes not stray. ------------------ Look unto Jesus!He only is the way. --------------------------- Look unto Jesus!Beside thee He will stay. ----------------------- All praise to Jesus!He'll guide thee day by day. ------------------

Look unto Jesus!Though life's pathway seem grim. ----------------- Look unto Jesus!You can't be hid from Him. ------------------- Look unto Jesus!For when sight's eyes wax dim, -------------------- All praise to Jesus!Soon thou shalt be with Him. ---------------------

Look unto Jesus!Who suffered on that tree... ---------------------- Look unto Jesus!He bled and died for thee. -------------------------- Look unto Jesus!He from the grave set free. -------------------------- All praise to Jesus!Thru all eternity! ---------------------------

Chorus: Consider Him,consider Him - lest ye be wearied,consider Him (2x) Hopefully,I shall be able to get the music written down soon.I think I'll ask a friend to help. God bless,~~~Tracy~~~

Tracy, What a beautiful poem. It's great that you put it into song. Your little girl will remember it always and probably sing it to her children one day. What a neat thing for a mom to pass along to her children. The beauty of Jesus and of song. (bet she's in the church choir one day!)

Tracy, that was beautiful. Your daughter really has something to cherish and pass along. Your song and your faith. What a gift. Thank you for shareing that with us. Do you have more? I write poems now and then. Think I'll post some of them too. I wrote one for my daughter when she was 5 and fixing to start kindergarden. Thanks again for shareing it.

Tracy, what a beautiful thing. I have recently become friends with the parents who lost, through death, their 26 year old Daughter, named Tracey. It was a freak thing. A mosquito bite, or whatever led to brain swell and strokes, eventual earthly demise Who knows when we are called to Home? and the effects of the aftermath? we leave behind.
