This really isn't a poem but I tough I would throw it in here anyway.
Written by my mom.
My Goals
My goal is to be all I can for God.
I want to be a missionary or preacher's wife;
But if I become a teacher that will be my mission field.
I am going to Pensacola Christian College to study Elementary Education.
If I could help one child it will be worth it all. Mom says I'm going to college to be poor all my life,
But how can you be poor with God on your side.
I want to meet a godly man.
One who is following God all the way. I want my life to glorify God.
There are many things I consider important.
But if I had to choose between being in God's will or have all the material possessions I consider important,
I 'd like to think I'd chose God's will.
I guess this summarizes my life's goals.
My mom did fulfill her life goals. She was a missionary, in her own way, in the city I was born in, She taught Sunday school, and she helped more people than I have met. She did all of this while raising me and homeschooling me. She always did what she thought was God's will for her. She was a good example of how a Christian should live their life. I decided to post this in celebration of her birthday (which was a day or two ago), the life that she lived, and her memory. I miss my mom very much, but I know that I will see her again in Heaven.
