Our first responders are often overlooked.
Many times putting their own lives on the hook.
Spending many days and nights in danger.
Always there to help a stranger.
A career choice that is in your blood.
The first to arrive at an accident, fire or flood.
Often times leaving their own families alone,
To come to the aid of a soul, with a heart of stone.
Darker nights many others never see,
The faces covered with anguish, pain and tragedy.
Feeling the pain as if it was their own.
Helping the hurt to not feel alone.
Keeping us safe in the middle of the night,
Fighting fires with all their might.
Working to save lives, protect and serve.
Never receiving the recognition they deserve.
We appreciate every sacrifice you make.
We notice all you do to keep us safe.
We thank you for your heart of compassion.
We are proud of the courage you show.
We appreciate you more than you know.
We take this moment to say thank you,
To honor you for the work you do.
We have so much to be thankful for.
Those who give and ask for nothing more.
The ones who often go without rest.
The ones who are “Wilson County’s Best.”
People like you it is plain to see,
That is why Wilson County is the place to be!

White Horse
Angels watching from the sky.
Baby birds begin to fly.
Pretty flowers by the road,
Your precious love never grows old.
Many days spent down here,
Waiting for you to appear.
Watching, praying, waiting for,
You to arrive on that white horse.
The signs all show you’ll be here soon,
To take us with you over the moon.
It will happen in the twinkling of an eye,
And we will bid this world goodbye.
The Joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is strength to my soul.
He walks with me on life’s roads.
He is my strong tower and my rock.
He makes me feel like queen of the block.
My one and only on whom I can depend.
He will be with me until the end.
The one who holds me in his arms.
He protects me from life’s storms.
He is the alpha and the omega,
The great and mighty one.
He causes my life to be fun.
The King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Author and the Finisher.
The one who supplies all my needs,
Even the little birds he feeds.
He causes me to be the victor and not the victim.
He has complete control of His kingdom.
He is my strength in the time of trouble.
Digging me out from life’s rubble.
Reminding me of His strength each day,
And helping me to walk on life’s way.
Representative
If you are saved,
You must behave.
Everywhere you go you are watched,
People making sure you will do,
What you say you have in you.
You are a representative of Christ,
He sent you here to be fishers of men.
Telling others to ask him to enter in.
Conduct yourself the way he says in his word.
Never allowing something to be heard.
That is not edifying to another life,
Or stirring up strife.
Always be on guard,
Never falling too hard.
Watching out for Satan every day,
Asking God for wisdom when you pray.
Always remember why you were sent,
And make sure everyone knows,
Who you represent.
Blizzard of 2016
I am about to be crazed
This is too much even for an introvert
Too cold to go outside
Tired of Twitter and Facebook
Watched every episode of Island Life
Dreaming of the sand and the sun
Wishing I was somewhere having fun
I have cooked everything in the house
Tired of sitting on the couch
So many things I could be doing
But nothing can get me motivated
My closets need to be cleaned
My cabinets are a mess
But for two days I haven’t even got dressed
I am so tired of sitting here
But it is so very clear
That I am not going to be productive
Church has been cancelled for tomorrow
So another day will be wasted
And everything in my house will be tasted
