God, Love and Laughter

Marian Bythell

Description

In 2004, prolific authoress, Marian Bythell, strayed from her established path of writing holiday journals to produce an excellent volume of verse. Now, following the publication of another travel-based book and a biography of her late mother, she has penned a companion to Poems of Love, Life & Laughter. For this collection, Marian once again offers a clever mix of humour and pathos, but also includes poems and prayers which reflect her deep religious faith.

Baby Joseph
(born 29th July 2004)
Baby Joseph, who can tell
What your life will hold?
Keep the secrets in your heart,
Let your life unfold.
Baby Joseph, look to God,
Make a wish and see
How your future lies ahead.
He’ll be there for you and me.
Baby Joseph, sign the pledge,
It is life’s own seal.
There are bonds to make and tie,
New lives to help and heal.
Baby Joseph, you can see
How we love you true.
Your life is full of happiness
With love from me to you.



Maiya Serenity
4 th May 2006
Maiya Serenity was born this day,
A beautiful baby on the 4 th May,
Crying for food then sleeping content,
A firstborn child, Heaven sent.
Julie and Adam, her parents new,
Gave their all, their love shone through.
Whilst grandparents visited expressing delight
At every movement from this little mite.
God loves you, child, and remember this,
That with that love you’ll have a life of bliss.
So, Maiya, thrive and be content;
You are a treasured bloodline, Heaven sent.



Jesus Is My Friend
Jesus is my friend
From the beginning to the end.
Jesus is my guide
Over the earth so far and wide.
Jesus, Jesus, hold me still,
Guard me from all sorts of ill.
Jesus shows me love,
Pure and boundless from above.
Jesus shows me care,
Healing me with hands so rare.
Jesus, Jesus, comfort me,
Guard me for eternity.



I Appeal to the Angels
Heavenly angels, shine on me,
Share your peace, tranquillity.
Ethereal beings, grant me love,
Pure and timeless from Him above.
