Baptism of Tinley Welty


In your life important steps you'll take
Involve from on high and make no mistake.
Keep your Heavenly Father first all the time.
All else falls into place as you climb.

Your life is developing like a rose.
Each step you take will bring you closer, it shows 
The great person that your destined to become.
Your beauty shows when you smile and then some.

May love and kindness be your guiding light.
Make God's truth your compass day and night.
Make your faith grow so you can soar so high.
That your soul can feel God always nearby.

Christmas 2023 - Give into the spirit of giving

 Give into the spirit of giving

Can you feel it? It's near that time of year.
Placed here to wait patiently 'til this time.
Eager to share willingly in the cheer.
End the long haul during our yearly climb.

I love to share in all that is jolly.
It is not all for me this joyous praise.
It's not just for the festive tamale.
Together we'll spread the holiday glaze.

It doesn't matter if I'm green or red,
Old or New,
Round or Square,
Spelled which way or not,
Eyes opened or Closed.

A spell is found when we're brought out.
Experience it! Feel it! Share it all about.

Entrega al espíritu de dar
¿Puedes sentirlo? Está cerca la época del año.
Colocado aquí esperando pacientemente hasta este momento.
Deseoso en compartir voluntariamente la alegría.
Termine el largo recorrido durante nuestro ascenso anual.

Me encanta compartir todo lo que es alegre.
Para mí no es todo esta gozosa alabanza.
No es sólo para el tamal festivo.
Juntos esparciremos el glaseado navideño.

No importa si soy verde o rojo,
Viejo o nuevo,
Redondo o cuadrado,
Se escribe de qué manera o no,
Ojos abiertos o cerrados.

Se encuentra un hechizo cuando salimos.
¡Experimentalo! ¡Sentirlo! Compártelo con todos.

Holiday Tale of Comical Portions

Holiday Tale of Comical Portions
A holiday tale, a comical sight,
For old Mr. Cubmaster, a jolly soul,
And his six cub scouts all gathered in delight,
For a game to make their spirits glow.

Joined together for some holiday fun.
A modified Yankee swap with a spin
With dice you roll a 7 or 11 is how it's done.
Each had brought a gift they had hoped to win.

A warning given that fun shall be had
But someone was bound to end up in tears.
Dice rolled as the game began, none started mad.
With each present opened, for each one compares.

Was each happy with an opened present?
Except for one, that was really unpleasant.

The gift isn't yours yet for we'd just begun.
The rules state that a speed round will now start.
Pass your gift, roll the dice, for you're not done.
Keep your gift, pass the dice and don't take part.

Emotions high with time now against you.
Wait your turn cause you don't like what you've got.
Can't wait cause your gift no one wants, its' true.
Dismay is seen across the room a lot.

Seven rolled, a gift is now seen flying.
The gift no one wants passed from hands to hands.
Time is now up and one ends up crying
Gift of toilet paper, who understands.

Holiday games should be fun and jolly.
Next time we'll get rid of any volley.
