Jesus, the carpenter




Tools of Life


Take Life! 
Make
it work for you

Life
Will
be your greatest work.


Take Heart! 
Hammer it with love

Love
Will
nail you to its heart.


Take Care! 
To labor all  life long,

it will carry
All 
your tools  through.


Take Pain! 
Grind it to the hurt

feel
it could be worse.


Take Tears! 
To smooth it all out

know
how good it feels.


Take Joy! 
To polish it all up

see the shine
When
it lights your face.


Take Hope! 
To work in the dark

When dark
Has 
not hope to see.

 
Take Happiness! 
To know it’s all done

see
all the beauty,

That came to be.

Take Dreams! 
See all you can build

make your life
A
dream come true.


Take Sorrow! 
When it all falls  away
 
remember
It
is still with you.


Take Prayers! 
To keep
your Tools of Life

pray
They
will stay with you.


Take Faith! 
To bring you 

To the Heaven's,
build your life
On
one foundation.


Take God! 
To keep it all with you..


A Poeatreeman
Hard knots
make hardware
So use your tools
If you
need a solution
Hammer it out
Don’t
pound it out
God is a carpenter!
He
can give you a hand.
