I'm so glad you could stop by for a visit. My mission is to use the poetry God has given me to hopefully make a difference in someone's life!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Please feel free to sign my guestbook with your comments. God has graciously anointed me to write several hundred poems! So, I will be changing the content of my website from time to time. I am just His humble servant trying to help my brothers and sisters! I sure hope you will come back to see me!
I Would Like To Dedicate This Website To GOD,
And The Furtherance Of The Gospel Of
JESUS CHRIST. Without HIM I am Nothing.
He Is The True Inspiration For My Poetry
Next I want To Dedicate It To My Wife, Linda,
Our 2 Sons, Brian & Darryl, Their Wives, Michelle & Lynn,
And Our Five Grandchildren, Jennifer, Daniel, Natalie,
Darren, And Hailee Elizabeth!
Then A Very Special Dedication To My Parents
Bob & Ida For My Religious Upbringing.
In HIS Service

 He must increase, But, I must decrease. John 3:30 KJV Friends are a Godsend! Could we ever declare their worth? Tell me, Is there a greater blessing here on Earth? We could never do without 'em! Their fellowship is beyond compare! Oh, how much it means to us to know they really care! Yes, good friends are certainly a priceless treasure! They are often a source of joy beyond measure! A true friend will stand by you when others walk away, For to them it doesn't matter what other folks do or say! A true friend will join with you when the battle gets hot, And even defend you to their own hurt, like as not. A friendship must be cultivated so it will grow! If we are fond of someone we need to let it show! For, if we want a friend we must be friendly too! That's the advice God's Word gives to me and you! When we are sick it is comforting to know a friend is there, Who will call out our name to Our Heavenly Father in prayer! Oh, how heartwarming it is to answer the phone, And hear the voice of an old friend when you're all alone! It is such a precious time when friends in one accord, Join together to praise and magnify the Lord! True friends are hard to come by. I've only been blessed with a few! Some have "gone on before," To that Land Beyond the Blue! But, one day I shall see them, And we'll know as we are known, When from these fleshly prison bars, My weary soul has flown! In Heaven we will be reunited, With our dear departed friends, In a grand and glorious homecoming, That never, ever ends! Robert F. Dotson © 2010 Love is a mother cuddling a little girl or boy! Is there any clearer picture of sheer joy? Love is a little boy with his puppy friend, Comin' home from roamin' the fields at days end! Love is a little girl with her dollies having an afternoon tea, Or being read a book while sittin' on her Grandpa's knee! Love is a father and his young son, Rollin' in the grass and havin' fun! Love is a young lady giving her Grandma a hand, While receiving answers to questions she doesn't understand! Love is never looking for the faults of others, And praying for our sisters and brothers! Love is doing good to all men, Not just to our family and kin! Yes, love is "going the extra mile," And not complaining all the while! Love is a man "taking a wife," And loving her for the rest of his life! Friend, there is no greater natural love on Earth, Than a mother being near death during childbirth! Love is a grandchild! What a joy! It doesn't matter if they're a girl or boy! Love is working together to make a marriage last, And being amazed at how time went by so fast! Love is following a casket that "last mile," And though the tears are falling managing a smile! Love is carrying their memory inside your heart, And longing for the day when you'll never part! Ah, love is originally from God above! Friend, according to the Bible, "God is love!" Robert F. Dotson © 2010 As I walk the Straight and Narrow way, It's drawing closer to the end of day, Which gives me reason now to say, "I'll soon reach the shores of Home!" No, I'll not always keep my smile, As I travel each weary mile! But, it will be all right after awhile, When I reach the shores of Home! Friend, often times when I'm in pain, My own feelings I disdain. However, not too many more miles remain., 'Til I reach the shores of Home! While travelin' Life's valley long and wide, I'm learnin' to "take things in stride!" For soon I’ll be goin' down the mountain side, Headin' for the shores of Home! Friend, when I've finally finished Life's race, And I've seen my Saviour's face, Tears will be gone without a trace, For, I've reached the shores of Home! Precious loved ones who've gone on before, I soon shall see once more! They're waitin' at Heaven’s door, For my arrival on the shores of Home! Robert F. Dotson © 2010 When I cried "Lord, I'll do whatever you ask," I was fully expecting some noteworthy task! I visioned the call to some foreign shore! Would I be called to the missionary field, To help gather the bountiful yield? "No," the Lord said "Go to the house next door!" He said "Your neighbors are lost as they can be." "They act like they've never heard of Me!" Friend, I must admit my countenance fell. You see, my neighbors know me quite well! Oh yes, they've seen me "ridin' high," Like an eagle soaring through the sky! But they've also seen me at my worst, When life's pretty bubble began to burst! There were days in my life, When I spoke sharp words to my kids and my wife! Yes, I am sure they had heard, And were affected by each unkind word! I also was bewildered to find, Other incidents entering my mind. Wasn't there several times each week, When I saw my neighbors and failed to speak? Oh sure I had a lot on my mind, And I hadn't meant to be unkind, But, I am God's child and it's a fact, Folks get a perception of Him by the way I act! Therefore, I said, "Lord, I understand!" "I must take care of matters at hand!" So, I got down On my knees and proceeded to repent! Then, off to my mission field I went! Robert F. Dotson © 2010
