SUMMER VACATION

There'll be no Summer Vacation for me
You see, we're having another baby
Instead, I'll be pulling out the little socks
That had been put up high in a box.
I'll be looking for a sale on a bouncy seat
Instead of enduring the hot summer heat.
I'm sure he'll be as sweet as he can be,
But still, there'll be no Summer Vacation for me.

Having a little sister

Isn't as bad as having a blister

She might make you sore,

But she's never a bore.

Even though I've seen her pop and ooze,

I'm glad she's grown out of the terrible two's.

Where are You, Lord?

In the deepest, darkest swamp,

Filled with gaters and creepy things.

You provide the firm, solid ground.

In the flat, still bayous

You are the peace of the night

And the strength to keep rowing.

When all my memories come together,

Some things have changed

Others remain the same

I see that You have been with me

And never left my side.

Why do we want to praise You?

Because You bless us with every spiritual blessing.

Your love stretches from the highest mountain.

And we reach up with outstrectched arms.

Your voice calls in the ocean waves

And Your power is revealed in the loudest lightning.

When the storm roars all around me

And the heat of the afternoon suffocates me,

You provide a dry, cool place of rest.
