Come Back to Me
Come back to me, sweet Jesus,
Come back to me.
My faint cry echoes from the deepest ends of the earth,
O! Come back and set me free!
To go to the light filled land of heaven,
Away from this sinful world,
I long to be with Thee!
It is better than being outwardly beautiful, or having golden hair curled.
I would feel just the slightest pain at being taken to your kingdom,
Thinking of the friends that I'd leave behind,
O! However, just think of
The joy that I would find.
O! Take me home,
Where I will find the greatest joy,
I want to be home in heaven,
O! The peace and joy!
Dirty Dishes
Thank God for dirty dishes
They have a tale to tell
While other folks are hungry
We are so very well
With home and happiness
We should not want to fuss
For by this stack of evidence
God’s very good to us
Even though I don't like dish-doing,
This poem is very true,
Thousands of people are starving now,
Around the world and through it too.

The first poem was on my Microsoft Word file, but I don't remember writing it at all, and the second poem is a peom that I memorized for our family camp up north years ago-but I added the last verse!
